-- Talisker Resources (TSK.TO) said Tuesday that it has expanded its drill program at the Bralorne gold project in British Columbia to 105,000 meters from 30,000.
The company said the campaign will consist of 83,000 metres of resource conversion drilling at the Mustang, Bralorne West and Olympus areas, and 22,000 metres of exploration drilling targeting veins at Congress and Pioneer Deeps.
"The extensive resource conversion drilling at Mustang and Bralorne West increases the confidence of our medium term mine plan while the drilling at Olympus will confirm the operational pathway at our planned second mine," Chief Executive Officer Terry Harbort said.
"Drilling at Congress, 15 kilometers to the north of the main Bralorne camp, will be the first to be conducted by Talisker and will test extensions to the historic resource," Harbort added.
Shares in TSK were down $0.05 or near 3.4% at $1.43 in Canada yesterday.
