Timberline’s President and CEO, Steve Osterberg, commented, “Our work at Talapoosa continues to provide us with confidence that we control a very prospective asset in a favorable mining and exploration jurisdiction. We are finalizing Talapoosa metallurgical testing programs as we further delineate the exploration opportunities along strike at Talapoosa and on the adjacent Appaloosa structural trend. We are pleased that the prices of precious metals have remained relatively strong, and we believe that development capital will be available for district-scale gold projects such as Talapoosa.”
