“The identification of stratabound copper-silver potential on the Talisman Property is, in my opinion, a game changer. This target style is virtually unexplored in the area and it offers investors a much larger scale exploration target than the copper – silver skarn” say
Known Skarn Deposit –
Prior to Adamera staking the Talisman property in 2012, the property was historically documented as a skarn occurrence which yielded copper, silver, zinc and tungsten production. Production records are very limited but 521 tons of ore assaying 5% copper, 3 oz/ton silver and 4.1% zinc were reported to have been shipped in the early 1900s. Tungsten was said to have been mined from Talisman during World War II.
Exploration on the property prior to Adamera focused on the mineralization in and around the abandoned mine. Access was provided from a poorly maintained track. Due to the absence of road access the area is devoid of modern exploration. As a result the presence of widespread disseminated sulfides hosted by multiple layers of metasediments was not documented.
The skarn appears to be a later stage of mineralization locally overprinting gently-dipping stratabound sulfide mineralization in locally calcareous marine sediments of the
New Target - Stratabound Copper-Silver Mineralization
Adamera, attracted to the unexplored portions of the property, conducted detailed mapping, prospecting, sampling and geophysical surveying over the entire property. Approximately 800 metres (m) southwest of the

Evidence for stratabound mineralizationat Talisman, similar to Revett-typestratabounddisseminated sulfide deposits, is as follows:
Laterally extensive disseminated Cu/Ag/Pb/Zn sulfide assemblage
Probable multiple stacked horizons of mineralization
