11 Apr 2022drilling result▲ GoodMajor
Snow Leopard-1 intersected about 44m of gassy coal between 406m and 461m. Preliminary desorption shows high gas content (7.5-12.5 m3/t) and saturation, a first positive result for the Gurvantes model; permeability not yet tested.
TMK tells ASX it held unannounced drilling information, but judged it too uncertain to release earlier. Snow Leopard-1 hit coal at 406m on 2 April; the rig stopped 4 April for repairs and resumed 7 April. Company confirms it complied with the Listing Rules.
At TMK's request, shares are suspended from 8 April 2022 pending an operations update on Snow Leopard-1 and a reply to ASX's price and volume query. Company says it was drilling the upper coal seam.
Snow Leopard-1, the first of four Gurvantes XXXV wells, spudded 15 March 2022, targeting about 650m over four weeks. Three more holes follow over 3-4 months; maiden contingent resource targeted for 2H 2022. Talon's US$1.5m funds this stage.
Net loss for the half-year to 31 December 2021 was $519,227, against $252,983 a year earlier. The report said the Telmen acquisition completed on 15 February 2022 with the $1.96m raise committed, but none of the performance share hurdles had been met at completion.
Drilling rig is being mobilised to Gurvantes XXXV, with camp under construction and drilling due to start within a week. Four-well program is Talon-funded; no new results or changes to known facts.
TMK signs Ellehcor Drilling Services to drill at least four cored wells at Gurvantes XXXV from March 2022, with all local approvals in place. Talon funds the program under the farm-in (33% for US$4.65m); first step towards converting the 5.96 TCF prospective resource.
Presentation on the Gurvantes XXXV acquisition repeating known facts: 5.96 TCF 2U prospective resource, 8,400 km2, drilling from March 2022, Talon funding stages 1 and 2, and about A$3.8m cash.
