Tartisan Nickel prepares for Kenbridge phase 1 drilling

Executive Summary

• Tartisan Nickel Corp. will commence a Phase 1 diamond drill program of approximately 3,600 m at its wholly‑owned Kenbridge nickel‑copper‑cobalt project in Northwestern Ontario.
• The program aims to convert inferred resources to measured/indicated categories and test extensions of high‑grade mineralization below the existing 623‑m shaft.
• Results are intended to improve geological and metallurgical models, support a future prefeasibility study (PFS) and inform mine design.

Key Details

• Program Scope: ~3,600 metres of NQ diamond drilling across priority targets.
• Target Objectives:
• Test extensions of high‑grade nickel‑copper mineralization below the current 623‑m shaft.
• Expand and upgrade existing resources (inferred → measured/indicated).
• Enhance geological and metallurgical understanding for PFS preparation.
• Generate data to support future mine design and resource conversion.
• Project Context: Kenbridge deposit lies within a 4,273‑hectare area of patented and staked claims with road access from Sioux Narrows and Kenora, Ontario.
• CEO Comment: Mark Appleby emphasized that the drill program is “an important step in advancing the Kenbridge project toward production readiness” and will strengthen the resource base for engineering studies.
