# Talisker Reports Strong Gold Upgrading and Waste Rejection Results from Final Sorting Test Program for the Bralorne Gold Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/talisker-reports-strong-gold-upgrading-and-waste-rejection-results-from-final-so--85326cb7-4002-4f50-9b3f-a9ec7d6dc092 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/TSK.TO/press-releases/6334144431652771 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-17T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Talisker Resources Ltd. - Ticker: TSK.TO - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Metallurgy - Extracted: 2026-09-17 11:18:19 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Talisker Resources has completed a final sorting test program for the Bralorne Gold Project, demonstrating that XRT technology can reject up to 67% of waste while doubling gold grades. The company has elected to remove the laser sorter from its plant design to avoid grade dilution and save approximately $4 million CAD in capital costs. Reasoning: The test program successfully validated XRT sorting as a primary tool for grade enhancement and mass rejection, leading to a simplified, lower-cost plant design. - Positive factor: Strong gold upgrading achieved via XRT sorting - Positive factor: Significant waste rejection \(up to 67%\) demonstrated - Positive factor: Decision to remove laser sorter saves $4M CAD in CAPEX - Positive factor: Validation of DSO strategy to reduce transportation and processing costs - Negative factor: Laser sorter addition resulted in subeconomic material and grade dilution Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The test program evaluates sorting technology intended for a planned sorting circuit/mill route. Evidence · text > optimize the planned sorting circuit **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: XRT combined with laser achieved gold recoveries greater than 95%, exceeding the exceptional band. Evidence · text > increased overall gold recovery to greater than 95% **Single Domain Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established. Why it applies: only one composite was tested ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.
