TALON METALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, June 14, 2011 /CNW/ --
TSX:TLO
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, June 14, 2011 /CNW/ - Talon Metals Corp., ('Talon' or the 'Company') (TSX: TLO) reported a net
loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 of $3,158,972 or
$0.04 per share (basic and diluted). This was primarily the result of
administration and stock based payment expenses, reduced by an
unrealized gain on investments. The first quarter of 2011 was the
Talon's first reporting period under International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS').
This compares to net loss of $265,013 or $0.01 per basic share (basic
and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which was
largely the result of operating expenses, partially offset by a gain on
the sale of Talon's holding of shares in Beadell Resources Limited.
Capitalized exploration on mineral properties for the first quarter of
2011 amounted to $2,656,173 and was mainly related to work done on the
Trairão Iron Ore Project, as well as on Rio Verde's projects. The total
capitalized exploration on mineral properties to March 31, 2011 was
$13,603,012 and primarily reflected work performed on the Trairão Iron
Ore Project, as well as on Rio Verde's projects.
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, along with Management's Discussion and Analysis, have
been filed on SEDAR and are available at www.sedar.com.
