The Board of New Talisman Gold Mines Ltd (NTL) announces that NTL has

Historic Gold Mine Limited (BHG). Completion of the acquisition is conditional

on receipt of required approvals under Crown Minerals Act 1991 by

valued the project at NZ$3m. Following negotiations the board is pleased to

advise that the final purchase price is NZ$750,000 comprising NZ$350,000 cash

$100,000 was paid at the time of entry into the term sheet. The share

consideration has been issued but will be held on trust until satisfaction of the

condition and completion of the acquisition, and thereafter will be escrowed

until 30 September 2023 (subject to certain exceptions).

Under the terms of the final agreement executed, the sellers will be given the

ability to convert their NTL shares to Coromandel Gold Limited (CGL) shares upon

a listing being achieved by CGL.

The Broken Hills project comprises of a small development footprint and

significant exploration opportunity as set out below. As a primarily exploration

project BHG has been acquired by Coromandel Gold limited a wholly owned

subsidiary of New Talisman which is currently being prepared for direct listing.

NTL has agreed to provide resources for a period of six months to assist with the

listing of Coromandel Gold Limited.

Now that the final acquisition agreements are complete the plant and

transported to the industrial site for which a commercial lease agreement is

being finalised.

Broken Hill Gold Mine Project

The Broken Hills Historic Mine has been developed and mined by a family group on a small scale for

over 20 years in an environmentally sustainable manner. The next stage will require further

exploration and the technical team will commence building a resource model and transitioning all

the historical technical data int JORC 2012.

Due to the exploration nature of the project in the near term the board has determined to include

Broken Hills as part of the Coromandel Gold direct listing alongside the groups other exploration

project in Vanuatu.

Broken Hills Historic Mine use narrow vein mining techniques that are well proven to maximise

extraction of high grade ore and minimisation of dilution with negligible environmental impact which

may be able to be applied to the Talisman mine project.

This expertise has been retained by New Talisman with the recent appointment of Victor Rabone

who will remain as SSE to Broken Hills mine. Victor Rabone has also been appointed a director of

NTL, subject to election at the company’s upcoming annual meeting.

Advanced Exploration opportunity

The Broken Hills Mine is an example of a rhyolite hosted epithermal gold silver deposit and is one of

the few economic gold deposits of this type on the eastern side of the Coromandel Peninsula.

Gold and silver mineralization at Broken Hills is hosted in a series of north, northwest trending, steeply

westward dipping quartz veins that pinch and swell from several centimeters up to several meters. Up

to 6 main veins are recognised to date. Additional ore is found in hydrothermal breccia and breccia

pipes.

The deposit is regarded as representing the upper levels of an epithermal system as evidenced by

the presence of hot spring sinters and hydrothermal breccia. This gives scope in the future of depth

continuations of the deposit.

NTL are particularly encouraged by the fact that modern mining has been confined to the current

battery level and drives off this but there has been very little development at depth. We see an

opportunity here to establish a substantial resource below the current workings, evidence of this

potential is indicated by the results of historic drill hole ACM DDH-03 that intersected 4 veins

approx. 40m vertically beneath the current workings. (Drilled by ACM minerals in 1989)

ACMDDH-03: 73.0-74.0m, 1.0m @ 6.3g/t Au,

84.0-85.0m, 1,0m @ 4.0g/t Au

121.0-122.05m,1.05m @35.0g/t Au

158.95 – 160.0m. 1.05m @4.8/g/t Au

Of note is that this rhyolite hosted deposit style is now recognised to have potential to host major

gold deposits and Broken Hills is located around 20 kilometers north of the largest deposit of this

type of mineralization discovered to date, the Wharekirauponga (“WKP”) deposit which is currently

being developed by OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (ASX: OGC) where they have announced

Indicated and Inferred resources of approximately 1.45 million oz of gold and 2.3 million oz of Ag.
