Market Announcement

For Immediate Release

New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (NTL) is pleased to present a report on

activities for the quarter ended 30 Sept 2024.

Key activities include:

• Temporary unsecured loan facilities provided by largest shareholder

and 2 Directors

• Completed a Rights Issue raising a total of $2.41m

• Independent Director Michael Stiassny reappointed at ASM

• Approval at ASM for Director uptake of $170k in Shortfall

• Purchased a processing plant and readied it for shipment

• Satisfied all DOC Access Arrangement conditions and received Au-

thority to Enter and Operate (AEO) at Talisman

• Converted to shares $558k of the Convertible Loan Note held by

NTL’s largest Shareholder

• Appointed General Manager

Talisman Mine Operations

NTL has been coordinating with Mine Operator Terra Firma to time its run

in stockpiling ore for processing through the recently acquired plant, and

thereby align expenditure with anticipated generation of revenue once the

plant is operational. Thus, in line with this plan, early stage work in prepa-

ration for mining has taken place, and the company announced the potential

upside to expectations for Mystery vein South, that has been exposed for

the first time in many years. The appearance of the vein has led to a con-

sensus of the mining team to recommend blasting and sampling to ascer-

tain if the grades warrant further development of this area. It is anticipated

that samples from Mystery South will be sent for assay in November. Sam-

pling Mystery vein both North and South is an exciting prospect with an

opportunity to add considerable value to the Bulk sampling project.

Long Term Access Arrangements with Dept of Conservation

During the previous quarter the Company was granted a five year Access

Arrangement (AA) with the Department of Conservation for the Talisman

Mine. The AA term of 5 years is a material improvement on recent renew-

als, which were limited to periods of less than a year. Following the granting

of the AA, and the Company working through the routine conditions related

to the AA, the Department of Conservation has also issued the associated

Authority to Enter and Operate. (AEO)

Quarterly Activities Report to 30 Sept 2024

Processing

NTL has completed the purchase of the processing plant for which it had paid a deposit in

the previous quarter. The processing plant has now been cleaned, containerised and

prepared for shipping to New Zealand. We now anticipate its arrival in mid-December 2024,

approximately one month later than originally anticipated due to extensive disruption caused

by rolling strikes at US and Canadian ports.

The Company remains in discussions with refiners interested in purchasing the high grade

concentrate the plant will produce.

Fast Track Application

In May, the Company applied to be considered as a listed project for Full Mining Consent in

the Fast Track Approvals Bill. In September the Company was informed that the Talisman

project would not be expressly included in Schedule 2 when the Bill goes before Parliament

later this year. However, the company was also informed that “Not being listed in Schedule 2

is not a commentary on the merits of the project, nor any future indication on how the project

would be assessed if you were to make a future referral application under the Bill once en-

acted.”

Subsequently, the government released the expert panel’s recommendations to Ministers for

Schedule 2 inclusion. The Talisman Mine Project was recommended by the expert panel and

received a rating of 2 in a 1-5 priority scale (1 being highest). NTL believes this justifies the

application and bodes well for future consideration once the Bill is enacted. Obtaining Full

Mining Consent will enable a seamless continuation of production post the 2 year Bulk Sam-

pling Consent that NTL will trigger in the coming months.

NTL still intends to apply for full mining Consent during the Bulk Sampling phase, and will

decide whether to utilise the Fast Track or usual mining consent process in due course.

Capital Raise

In July 2024 NTL made a Rights Offer to shareholders.

Prior to the Rights Offer, NTL entered into unsecured loan facilities from the company’s largest

shareholder and two Directors to satisfy Audit requirements for the company’s cash position.

Subsequent to the capital raise the loan facility with the largest shareholder was cancelled.

The other two facilities remain in place but currently undrawn.

The Rights Offer to existing shareholders in New Zealand and Australia opened on 11 July

2024. The offer gave existing shareholders the opportunity to take up to 1 new share for every

1 share they held on the record date at a price of NZ$0.018 or AU$0.017 per share. The offer

of new shares was made under NZX Listing Rules 4.3.1(a) and ASX Listing Rule 7.2,

exception1. The Offer closed on Friday 26th July 2024 and shortfall placement from the offer

closed on 23rd August 2024. The entire Rights Offer, including participation from three NTL

Directors, raised a total of NZ$2.41m.

Since closing this successful Rights Offer, we have moved forward immediately with our

strategic plan, including purchasing processing plant, progressing the processing site, and

preparing for bulk sampling on the Mystery Vein at Talisman.


Convertible Loan Note

During the quarter NTL made two conversions of the loan note totaling $558,611 this brought

the outstanding loan balance down to $165,014. A full conversion of the Note to ordinary

shares would have contravened the New Zealand Takeovers Code threshold of 20%. Mr

Hamish Brown now holds 19.99% of the Company. For the time being, the balance of the

Note will continue on existing terms for the remainder of the term in accordance with the Boards

discretion. However, further conversion of the Note to shares may occur during that period

where permissible within the current regulatory framework.



4

ASM

The ASM was held in September, which saw experienced Independent Director and Audit

Committee Chair Michael Stiassny re-elected to the Board. The ASM also passed a

Resolution, as required by ASX listing rules, to enable NTL Board Chair Samantha Sharif and

Director Richard Tacon, to take up $170k of Shortfall from the Capital Raise.

Vanuatu

Progress in coming to an agreement with a JV partner or sale for the Vanuatu permit continues

to be slow, but we will continue to engage with interested parties and remain open to interest

in partnership or sale.

Rahu

During the quarter NTL reviewed and updated the workplan for an application for exploration

over the Rahu permit 61017. This was then resubmitted to NZ Petroleum & Minerals (NZPAM).

We have recently been advised by NZPAM that they expect to process our application within

the next few months.

Administration

On 1 July 2024 the Company revised its existing contract with John Upperton to provide the

service of General Manager on a full-time basis for a twelve month period to support NTL’s

move to its production phase.

During the quarter the Company paid $48,333 for director fees to companies in which directors

and major shareholders have a substantial interest. The Company paid $41,000 to John

Upperton in his capacity as General Manager.
