Market Announcement
For Immediate Release
New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (NTL) is pleased to present a report on
activities for the quarter ended 30 June 2024.
Key activities include:
• Entered into Heads of Agreement with Terra Firma Mining Ltd to
lease premises and process ore produced by the Talisman Mine.
• Paid a refundable deposit of 10% of the purchase price of plant lo-
cated overseas which will be relocated to New Zealand to process
the Talisman Ore.
• Granted five year Access Arrangement from Dept of Conservation
• Entered into $1.4m of unsecured loans to support the company until
a Capital Raise is complete.
• Applied to be included in Fast Track Approvals Bill
Processing
The Company has concluded its review of suitable processing sites and has
entered into a Heads of Agreement with Terra Firma Mining(TFM) to pro-
vide leasehold premises suitable to locate a plant. The agreement includes
TFM being contracted to process ore produced at the Talisman mine.
NTL has also located a suitable plant overseas that will be relocated to NZ.
A refundable deposit of 10% has been paid to secure the plant for a 60 day
period to allow the Company to raise the necessary capital to progress the
purchase and relocation. NTL has been given an estimated shipping time
of 7-8 weeks, plus time for customs clearance. It is intended that the plant
will be located at the processing site that TFM are preparing for NTL. The
Company is in early discussions with refiners interested in producing dore
bars from the high grade concentrate the plant will produce.
Long Term Access Arrangements with Dept of Conservation
During the quarter the Company was granted a five year Access Arrange-
ment(AA) with the Department of Conservation for the Talisman Mine. The
AA term of 5 years is a material improvement on recent renewals, which
were limited to periods of less than a year. Renewing the AA provides the
certainty to allow NTL to fully progress its operations, mine work plan and
strategic plan as intended.
Fast Track Application
In May, the Company applied to be considered as a listed project in the Fast
Track Approvals Bill, currently being considered by Parliament’s Environ-
ment Select Committee. This new regime, which forms part of the New
Zealand Government’s coalition agreement, is intended to streamline the
process for resource approvals for significant projects – including mining in
our regions.
Quarterly Activities Report to 30 June 2024

The key change is that one application will lead to multiple authorisations, as opposed to the
present system of individual applications under various Acts. This will mean a more holistic
consideration of projects with no loss in environmental considerations.
If the Talisman Mine is included in the List, we would anticipate that the approvals process for
Talismans full mining consent would be much smoother and more timely than has been expe-
rienced to date, thus reducing costs and potentially resulting in a more certain outcome. The
full mining consent would flow on after the bulk sampling period is completed.
Funding and Capital Raise
Immediately post quarter the Company entered into three unsecured loan facilities totaling up
to NZ$1.4m, the unsecured loans have an interest rate of 19% per annum for any amount
drawn down, and are repayable before 31 December 2024. At the time of this report only
$180k of the facility has been drawn down.
Further NTL has made a Rights Offer to shareholders. The Offer to existing shareholders in
New Zealand and Australia opened on 11 July 2024. The offer gives existing shareholders the
opportunity to take up to 1 new share for every 1 share they hold on the record date at a price
of NZ$0.018 or AU$0.017 per share. The offer of new shares is made under NZX Listing Rules
4.3.1(a) and ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception1. The Offer closes on Friday 26
th
July 2024. The
Rights offer closed on 26 July 2024 raising NZ$1.805m from existing shareholders. This now
allows us to move forward immediately with our strategic plan, including conducting an in
person final inspection of the processing plant ahead of a decision to complete the purchase,
finalising our processing site, and commencing bulk sampling on the Mystery Vein at Talisman.
The Company is now open to receiving applications for shortfall and will seek shareholder
approval at the ASM for Directors applications for a minimum of $150k of additional shares
under oversubscription/shortfall.
Vanuatu
Progress in coming to an agreement with a JV partner or sale for the Vanuatu permit continues
to be slow, but we remain open to any interest.
Administration
At the end of the quarter NTL filed its audited annual financial report with NZX and ASX. Soon
after ASX placed NTLs shares into suspension upon becoming aware that the audit report
contained in NTL’s Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 contained a
Disclaimer of Opinion. ASX had determined that NTL’s financial condition was not adequate
to warrant the continued quotation of its securities and therefore was in breach of Listing Rule
12.2. The Company then requested a trading halt on NZX to allow the Company time to resolve
matters with the ASX in an orderly fashion. NTL then obtained unsecured loans of NZ$1.4m
to support the business beyond a Capital Raise. This provided the auditor with sufficient
comfort to reissue a revised unqualified report. Following the filing of the reissued report
trading resumed on both ASX and NZX.
During the quarter the Company paid $45,000 for director fees to companies in which directors
and major shareholders have a substantial interest. The Company paid $17,500 to John
Upperton in his capacity as Strategic Delivery Manager.
