Talisman Mining Ltd. advised that it has significantly expanded its landholding in the prospective Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales through a farm-in agreement with private company Bacchus Resources Pty Ltd. and a purchase agreement with Kidman Resources Ltd. Under the new agreements, Talisman may earn up to an 80% interest in the Bacchus' gold and base metal projects and will acquire a 100% interest in the Kidman copper-gold projects. Both projects are complementary and contiguous with Talisman's existing 100% owned NSW exploration tenements and the previously announced Peel Mining Ltd. Joint Venture where Talisman is earning up to a 75% interest. The agreements are an important further step in Talisman's project generation program which identified the Gilmore Suture of the Lachlan Fold Belt as an underexplored, highly mineralised region with an opportunity to secure a large scale land package for a relatively low cost.
