ANNOUNCEMENT BY NEW TALISMAN GOLD MINES LIMITED
(NZX: NTL, ASX: NTL)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW TALISMAN APPLIES FOR THE TALISMAN MINE TO BE
INCLUDED IN FAST TRACK APPROVALS BILL


New Talisman Gold Mines Ltd is pleased to advise that the Company has made an application for
the Talisman Mine to be considered as a listed project in the Fast Track Approvals Bill, currently
being considered by Parliament’s Environment 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. 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.
The proposed new approvals regime is a significant opportunity for New Zealand resource projects
and New Talisman.
If the Talisman Mine is included in the List, we would anticipate that the approvals process would
be much smoother and more timely than has been experienced to date, thus reducing costs and
potentially resulting in a more certain outcome.

Yours sincerely,

Samantha Sharif Chair
New Talisman Gold Mines Limited
