Timberline's President and CEO, Steve Osterberg, commented, "We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders in our recent financing. With this year's Talapoosa option payment completed, we intend to focus on advancing our Talapoosa exploration and metallurgical testing programs and further defining the exploration opportunities along the Appaloosa structural trend. We believe that gold and silver prices will remain relatively strong and that capital will be available for continued exploration and potential development of our projects."
