TELSON ANNOUNCES CASUALTY AT TAHUEHUETO

Telson Resources Inc. has confirmed the death of an employee of Tuneles y Servicios GMS, SA de CV, a company contracted to conduct underground-mining operations at the Tahuehueto project in Durango, Mexico.

Jose Antonio Berlanga, Telson's chief executive officer, stated, "We are deeply saddened by this unfortunate and tragic event and send our condolences and sympathies to the family of the deceased; the thoughts and prayers of Telson's board of directors and management are with his family, friends and co-workers during this difficult and traumatic time."

The deceased worker was a member of the contractor's underground-mining team and was fatally injured as a result of being struck by rock while conducting scaling operations during underground development. Telson and the contractor have stringent health and safety protocols in place, including regular safety meetings. Operations at Tahuehueto were temporarily suspended as the company's emergency-response team was immediately activated and an attempt was made to airlift the injured worker to hospital. Unfortunately, the worker succumbed to his injuries during his transportation to the hospital in Tepehuanes.

An initial investigation into the accident has been conducted by the Telson and reported to all required state and federal authorities. The preliminary findings have attributed the accident to human error and accordingly no cause was found to continue suspension of mining operations. A team from the Ministry of Economy (general mines department) arrived on-site today and is completing its investigations into the accident in co-ordination and with the full support from the company's and the contractor's personnel. Telson expects that the Ministry of Labour (worker's compensation and safety) will also attend the mine site next week.
