Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (Jun 14, 2011) – 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.

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.
