Market Announcement
For Immediate Release
New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (NTL) is pleased to present a report on
activities for the quarter ended 31 December 2024.
Key activities include:
• Prepared and Shipped Processing Plant
• Voluntary Delisting from ASX
• Commenced process for dealing with unmarketable parcels
• Rahu Minerals Permit Granted
Processing
During the quarter NTL completed the purchase of the processing plant for
which it had paid a deposit in the June quarter. The plant went through an
extensive process of disassembly, collating and cleaning ahead of being
packed into 5 containers for shipping. The plant arrived in January with the
containers clearing Customs and MPI inspections late in the month. We
have now begun the process of laying out the plant ahead of assembly and
commissioning.
The Company is likely to send concentrate samples to a number of refiners
in the first instance to assess the best path to market the high grade con-
centrate the plant will produce.
Talisman Mine Operations
The NTL Board has considered it prudent to continue with the “timing its
run” policy with regards to ore sampling and stockpiling and thereby pre-
serving cash, limiting underground activity to some work on the Dawes
Shaft second egress. Mine Operator Terra Firma was able to divert re-
sources to other projects in the quarter.
NTL’s plans to commence production of concentrate through the plant in
the first calendar quarter of 2025 remain on track.
2025 is shaping as a pivotal year in New Talisman’s move to exploring pro-
ducer, with the culmination of NTL’ s Strategic Plan to Bulk Sample the
Mystery vein and produce a high-grade concentrate through the company’s
own plant. The revenue generating sampling will potentially enable addition
to the mine’s JORC Resource by providing logged data as the drive pro-
gresses while also creating another means of egress.
Fast Track Authorisation
The company submitted an application for the Talisman Mine Full Mining
Consent to be included in the first tranche of projects in the Fast Track Au-
thorisation Bill. While the application received a positive recommendation
from the Review Panel, the project was not included in the list attached to
the Bill that passed in the House just prior to Christmas. However, NTL in-
tends to utilise the Fast Track application process now enabled by the Bill
to ensure a seamless transition from Bulk Sampling to Full Mining.

Voluntary Delisting from ASX
On 15 November 2024, the Company received formal ASX approval for its removal from the
official list of ASX subject to complying with certain conditions which are set out in detail in the
Company’s Delisting announcement dated 18 November 2024. All conditions were complied
with and the Company formally delisted from ASX effective 24 December 2024.
The key reasons for NTL seeking to delist from the ASX were as follows:
• NTL is based in New Zealand with its mining operations, current Directors and senior
management all based in New Zealand;
• a majority of NTL’s Shareholders are based in New Zealand with approximately
87.63% of NTL’s issued share capital held by New Zealand based Shareholders and
the majority of trading occurs on the NZX;
• NTL’s Shareholders are not obtaining the anticipated benefits of an ASX listing due
to a lack of liquidity in the market for NTL’s Shares on ASX;
• NTL’s secondary listing on the ASX has resulted in significant additional costs to the
Company and following Delisting, such funds can otherwise be used by NTL; and
• a significant portion of NTL’s management time is dedicated to matters, directly and
indirectly, relating to NTL’s ASX listing and obligations. Following Delisting, this
management time can be otherwise utilised to best benefit NTL and its Shareholders.
Based on the reasons set out above, the Board came to the view that it was in the best
interests of NTL and all Shareholders that NTL delist from the ASX at this time and continue
its listing on the NZX.
Rahu
In December 2024 NTL announced its wholly owned subsidiary Rahu Resources Pty Ltd was
granted Minerals Exploration Permit 61017.
The Permit area covers some 387 hectares, in part adjoining the Mining Permit that New
Talisman holds for the Talisman mine.
3
The Permit is for a period of 5 years which will coincide with the Talisman mine’s first
meaningful production in decades.
“Having a neighbouring Minerals Exploration Permit to our primary target of Talisman is an
exciting and logical step for the company” said NTL General Manager and Board member
John Upperton. “The opportunity to establish a possible new JORC Resource in vicinity to our
existing operation gives us the chance to build our Resource base and extend life of
operations beyond a single project” he added.
Administration
During the quarter the Company commenced the process of disposal of unmarketable Parcels.
The Company appreciates that Unmarketable Parcels can be difficult or expensive to sell, so
the Company has established the Facility to enable shareholders who hold Unmarketable
Parcels to sell their Shares without having to act through a broker or pay brokerage or handling
fees. The Company will pay all costs associated with the sale and transfer of Shares through
the Facility (excluding any tax consequences of the sale, which will be the responsibility of the
relevant shareholder).
The Facility, whilst benefiting small shareholders, will also benefit the Company as it is
expected to reduce the administration costs associated with maintaining a large number of
small shareholdings on the Company’s share register.
During the quarter the Company paid $45,000 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.
