Executive Summary

Drilling update (9 Apr 2026): Step‑out program at the Vault Zone (Tamarack Project) confirms a fourth mineralized level and expands massive sulphide intercepts. Highlights include:
Hole 25TK0566: 7.73 m @ 5.56 % Ni, 7.40 % Cu, 0.05 % Co, 6.05 g/t Pt+Pd, 6.35 g/t Au (12.44 % NiEq / 23.30 % CuEq).
Hole 25TK0568: 10.35 m interval at the newly identified 610‑m level (assays pending).
Additional massive sulphide intervals (up to ~10 m) in holes 25TK0568A, 25TK0569A.
Future work: BHEM survey has flagged an off‑hole anomaly slated for the next drill campaign; feasibility study completion now expected H2 2026 (previously earlier).

Material Impact

Depth of resource: The fourth level pushes the known mineralized envelope ~100 m deeper, increasing tonnage potential and reinforcing the high‑grade nature of the Vault Zone.
Feasibility timing: A modest delay to H2 2026 aligns the study with anticipated Minnesota environmental review milestones, reducing regulatory risk.
Market perception: The drill results are materially better than prior expectations (fourth level not previously disclosed) and substantiate Talon’s “full‑value mining” narrative, supporting a positive re‑rating of the project’s economics.
Overall impact: While the news does not constitute a game‑changer (the acquisition and major financing were already priced in), it delivers new, material information that meaningfully upgrades the resource outlook → Material – Positive.
