Very excited to be here. My very first time presenting Talisman Mining as the new Managing Director. Our first slide here titled "A New Chapter for Talisman." I am hoping that the next 15 minutes, I can convince you why, even if you have heard this story before, it is worth having another look at Talisman and who we are and what we are all about, because we are about here to create value for our shareholders. Our usual disclaimer. Just a brief snapshot about Talisman. We are a small junior exploration company that is well-capitalized. Our cash position at the end of June was AUD 3.1 million, including our listed investments. We have recently, just last week, announced we have closed a new capital raise. We have raised AUD 4 million. So we are well-financed now to do what we need to do for the plan. We have a refreshed leadership team, as Paul just mentioned, and a revised strategy now, where we are really focused on how we are going to capitalize and leverage off our exploration portfolio, which is extensive in New South Wales. We retain a 1% royalty in the Wonmunna iron ore mine, which is owned and operated by MinRes in Western Australia, in the Pilbara. That, over the years, has paid Talisman over AUD 35 million. Not currently in production, but we still retain that royalty over that asset, and there is still resources to be mined at some future date. Our major shareholders include Kerry Harmanis, which I will get onto in a minute. He owns 19.6% of the company. We have got a new plan now to leverage that existing portfolio and really focus on moving the company forward and through exploration, but also through strategic acquisitions. Our leadership team. We are backed by our Chairman and major shareholder, Kerry Harmanis, which I am sure for many of you in the room needs no introduction. Kerry was behind the Jubilee Mines, which was sold to Xstrata 20-odd years ago now for AUD 3.1 billion. Kerry knows what it takes to deliver value for shareholders, and he is excited to be able to do that again. He is a passionate mining entrepreneur with over 40 years experience, and I am really enjoying working with him. Myself, Managing Director. I am a former banker, and the last few years have been running junior exploration companies and looking to create shareholder value. We have recently brought Mark Cossom onto the board, another name that may be familiar to many of you in this room. He was previously the Managing Director of Gateway Mining. He is a well-renowned exploration geologist and mining entrepreneur as well. Brian Dawes was previously the Chief Operating Officer for Jubilee, and Jeremy Kirkwood was involved in the transaction as an ex-banker when Jubilee sold to Xstrata. So, we are putting the band back together to some extent, putting the right people in place with the right expertise to be able to deliver on value for our shareholders. We are also backed by a technical advisory team, OMNI GeoX, led by Peter Langworthy. Peter Langworthy was the Chief Geo for Jubilee, and he is very well-regarded, and he is running our exploration programs for us, but also helping us on the business development side to looking for new assets as well. So where are we operating? Well, I am just going to focus today on our operations in New South Wales, where we have an extensive land package, over 5,000 sq km of prime tenure in what is a really exciting area to be operating. We're leveraged to discovery at a AUD 14 million market cap. We're one of the lowest points of our cycle, and we believe there's lots of upside just by getting the rig on the ground, and we've got some really good targets to go after. As I mentioned, we're well-funded with the recent capital raise, in addition to our existing cash position, around AUD 7 million in the bank, operating in tier one address. Where are we operating? We're in the Lachlan Fold Orogenic Zone. We're in tier one copper-gold country. The tenements in the left in the dark blue is what we've split up now as calling the Lachlan Fold Belt. Over on the right is the green tenements that are our Macquarie Arc area. We're looking either in the Macquarie Arc, we're surrounded by some major deposits, including Cadia Valley, a 40-million-oz gold equivalent deposit, and then Tomingley, which was a 2-million-oz deposit owned by Alkane, 10 km to the north of where our main priority target is at East Peak Hill. Over to the Lachlan Fold area, we're predominantly operating around the Mineral Hill mine owned by Kingston. We surround that project and that processing plant where there's been some major discoveries made as well. Really, we're two world-class districts sitting in one company that's only got a market cap of AUD 14 million. The Lachlan Fold area, we have over 4,200 sq km of land tenure. We've split that up now to simplify the story into three large-scale areas. Recently, OMNI GeoX did a review of all of our exploration work that we've done over the last few years, and we've zeroed in on two key priority areas, which I'll get into. The three areas at Lachlan Fold have been split into what we call the Walkers Hill Project and the Sheepyard-Mooranbah prospects, the Lachlan South Project, which is where Talisman's been exploring over several years for the last few years, and then the Lachlan North Project, which is an earlier stage Cobar Basin-style mineral system, and not necessarily our priority at the moment, but it's an exciting part to be operating in as well. We're looking for Cobar Basin-style epithermal systems up in that part of the world, but also orogenic gold down near our Sheepyard prospect. We've also had some base metal discoveries through our exploration in the past over at Rip and Tear and Durnings, which I'll point out to you in a minute. Over at Macquarie Arc, our primary focus there is we're going to having a swing at a Cadia-style deposit, a copper porphyry-style deposit over at our Yarindury prospect, and then also looking at orogenic gold, at our East Peak Hill prospect, which we're targeting drilling again soon. Just into the Lachlan Fold area first. Just as a reminder, over 4,000 sq km in this package. Split between the three areas. It's really the northern part I'll get onto in a minute, but where we're focusing at the moment is around this Walkers Hill area. It's very structurally controlled system. We're looking at northwest and north-northwest, faults and folds, and we're really targeting these orogenic gold-type systems there. Getting into Walkers Hill in a bit more detail. The Sheepyard prospect is our number one priority within the exploration portfolio. We have an over 5 km, almost 6 km-long gold-in-soil anomaly, which has had some drilling to the north historically, and we have been accessing and drilling to the south in recent months. There is an IP anomaly that sits at around 180 m-200 m in depth that is yet to be tested. What we saw in the last aircore drilling program, gold mineralization was improving at depth, and the aircore rigs are only getting down to sort of 80 m, 90 m or so. One of the best intercepts we had there was 15 m at 1.1 g. So, it is a really exciting area to be getting into. We have got in between around 4 km of untested strike along that gold anomaly. After the recent drilling at Sheepyard, we have now come up with around 800 m of unconstrained strike length. Just a bit more detail on Walkers Hill. That area in the red is the mapped gold-in-soil anomaly, and we have only been operating in the very lower portion there. You can see those drill lines in the aircore. There are two IP lines as I mentioned, which you can see on this slide to the right. That IP anomaly has not been tested at depth or the right orientation to be able to see what actually is happening below. As I said, the previous aircore drilling was seeing gold mineralization improving at depth as well. So that is a really exciting target to get back to for us. Weather conditions in recent months stopped us from completion of a drilling program. We have been given the green light by the farmer recently to get back on the ground as soon as the next 10 days have passed or so. We have got an RC rig ready to go. So we are really excited to get out there and looking forward to delivering the market on some new news on that one when we get out there. The Lachlan South project, as I mentioned, is an area that the company has been exploring considerably over the years. It is a very tantalizing system, in particular around the Durnings prospect, where we have seen some very high grades, especially in the gold mineralization, up to 4 g a ton of intercepts at 24 m. It has been difficult to follow up. That is an area that we are now trying to reinterpret and understand what has been going on in this system there. Blind Calf is predominantly a copper sulfide lens. It is around 10 km to the north of Durnings. Again, we had some really good intercepts there where we saw some copper mineralization of around or over 5%. So, a pretty compelling area to get back into. Rip and Tear is more of a lead, silver, zinc-style mineralization. We will be looking to try and assess that one and look at the priorities of getting back on there as well. Lachlan North project, as I mentioned, is a very early-stage Cobar-basin-style mineral system. We have been evaluating the historical drilling that has been done there, and we have flown some airborne geophysics. At this stage, we are looking at assessing options about what we do with this area. It's probably not going to be a priority for the next couple of years, given we've got so much to keep us busy down at the Sheepyard prospect and also over at Macquarie Arc. Our plan, just in summary, at Lachlan, is really just to focus on the Walkers Hill and test the full system. We're going back to Sheepyard. We've got an RC rig ready to go. We're planning to drill six to eight holes there and get some results out as quickly as possible. Depending on how that looks, we'll look to try and follow up with some further drilling and hopefully get up to the northern part as well and do some more aircore drilling up there. Lachlan South, evaluating, working out some of the geological settings there and how we can target that better. Lachlan North, as I said, is a later-stage priority. Just over to Macquarie, this is where we're really chasing the big copper porphyry-type systems. In the past, we've been drilling, looking for Cadia-type deposits. But then with recent attention's been focused on Tomingley-style analog. Tomingley orogenic gold analogs. Overall, a world-class system, over 900 sq km of tenure in this area across two geological provinces, the Junee-Narromine Belt, on the western side of our tenement package, where we are focused on the East Peak Hill exploration tenements, and that's the Tomingley-style analog that we're looking at. Then over on the Molong Volcanic Belt to the north, our prospect called Yarindury, which we are looking for copper porphyry-style system. We were previously doing some drilling early on this year, two diamond holes, and we're looking for partners potentially on that one as well. Yeah, East Peak Hill, we completed some aircore drilling on there two months ago. We had to stop when the rain came, so we've paused for now, but we look to get back on there very soon. We've got three priority lines that we're looking to complete. In the last round of drilling, we saw anomalies in there, multi-element anomalies, that looked pretty interesting and certainly warranted further follow-up drilling. So hoping to get back on there in the next couple of weeks and complete that program. Then over at Molong, as I said, that was drilled early on in the year. It's probably something that we're looking for partners. It's some deep drilling, deep diamond drilling, and it's not our number one priority at the moment. But it is a pretty compelling target, maybe for another day. We'll just see where we get to with the current share price as well. Our exploration plan at Macquarie, it's really focused on East Peak Hill. That is our number one priority. We'll finish off those priority lines eight, nine and 10. We'll get some results out of that. We then look at refining the priorities amongst the Yarindury prospects and looking at other potential partners to come in. Look, I guess, why Talisman now? You may have heard the story in the past. Talisman's had the benefit of a royalty over several years, which has been funding exploration. It's allowed it to go after geological concepts. We're now in a rephase where A refresh phase, sorry, where we're really looking at external investor focus, about delivering shareholder value. Kerry is extremely excited. I'm really looking forward to working with him. We've got a new strategy. We're focused on leveraging our existing portfolio, but we're also actively looking for gold, and gold in Western Australia projects. We've got a long pipeline of opportunities that we're working on. We're well-funded at the moment to do what we want to do, and I think you'll see a lot of news flow coming from us. We look forward to updating you all at the next conference.
