Exploring Michigan’s Nickel-Copper Potential
Talon is actively exploring for nickel-copper mineralization across a large regional land package in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The exploration program combines historical geological information with modern geophysics, drilling, and Talon’s in-house technical expertise to identify and evaluate priority targets.
Talon’s Michigan exploration portfolio is located near the Eagle Mine and Humboldt Mill, providing the opportunity to evaluate potential future mineral resources within an established mining region. Current exploration is focused on both near-mine and regional targets, including Boulderdash in Marquette County and Roland in Baraga County.
Through disciplined exploration, Talon is working to better understand the region’s geology and evaluate opportunities that could support the future of nickel and copper production in Michigan.
Exploring a Proven Mining Region
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has a long history of mining and contains geology known to host nickel-copper mineralization. Talon’s regional exploration program covers more than 400,000 acres and includes properties located near Eagle Mine, the only primary nickel mine currently operating in the United States, and the Humboldt Mill.
The program is designed to evaluate a pipeline of potential nickel-copper targets using historical drilling records, geological interpretation, airborne and ground-based geophysical surveys, borehole electromagnetic surveys and targeted drilling.
Boulderdash
Located in Marquette County approximately eight miles northwest of Eagle Mine, Boulderdash was first drilled by Talon in 2024. Initial and subsequent drilling intersected nickel-copper sulphide mineralization near surface, while further exploration identified higher-grade massive sulphide mineralization at depth.
Roland
The Roland target is located in Baraga County and was identified through historical exploration information and Talon’s geophysical surveys.
Initial drilling and borehole electromagnetic surveying identified a conductive anomaly that warrants additional investigation. Talon resumed drilling at Roland in 2026 as part of its work to advance priority targets across the Michigan exploration portfolio.
How We Explore
Talon’s exploration team brings together geologists, geophysicists and drill crews who work collaboratively from target identification through drilling and geological interpretation.
Mineral exploration is an early-stage process used to understand what may be present beneath the surface. Exploration results do not determine whether a mine will be developed. Any potential future project would require additional technical studies, environmental review, engagement and regulatory approvals.
Community and Tribal Engagement
Talon is committed to early engagement, transparency, and information sharing in the areas where exploration occurs.
The company engages with local communities, landowners, and proximate Tribal sovereign governments to share information about exploration activities, listen to questions and concerns, and better understand the environmental, cultural, and community context of the region.
