Tartisan Nickel Corp. Acquires Apex Claims Contiguous to the Kenbridge Nickel Copper Cobalt Project, Northwestern, Ontario

TN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Tartisan Nickel Corp. completed the acquisition of the Apex Claims (≈ 420 ha) in the Atikwa Lake region, expanding its Kenbridge Project land package to ≈ 4,724 ha.
  • The newly acquired area is contiguous to the flagship nickel‑copper‑cobalt project and hosts historic diamond drill holes and favorable geology for Ni‑Cu‑Co sulfide mineralization.
  • Immediate next steps include integration of historical data, airborne geophysical review, surface sampling and target generation for future drilling in 2025‑26.

Key Details

  • Acquisition Size: Approximately 420 hectares (≈ 4.2 km²) of the “Apex Claims.”
  • Total Project Land Package: Now ≈ 4,724 hectares (≈ 47 km²) after adding Apex Claims to existing Kenbridge holdings.
  • Geology: Archean volcanic and intrusive rocks known to host nickel, copper, cobalt, and gold; 13 historic diamond drill holes present on the claims.
  • Historical Data Available: Surface sampling, prospecting results, airborne magnetic and EM surveys indicating structures favorable for magmatic Ni‑Cu‑Co sulfide mineralization.
  • Strategic Rationale:
  • Expands regional exploration coverage contiguous to Kenbridge.
  • Provides potential parallel feeder systems and structural repeats of the flagship deposit.
  • Secures strategic control over an under‑explored, historically identified MDI‑level prospect area.
  • Planned Exploration Activities (2025‑26):
  • Compile historical assessment files.
  • Review airborne magnetic and EM datasets.
  • Conduct prospecting and surface sampling.
  • Generate drill targets for future testing.
  • Executive Quote: Mark Appleby, President & CEO – “The Apex Claims enhance our nickel‑copper focused footprint… provide additional exploration pathways and district‑scale upside at a time when demand for critical minerals continues to grow.”

Notable Quotes

“These highly prospective ground positions provide Tartisan with additional exploration pathways and district‑scale upside at a time when demand for critical minerals continues to grow.” – Mark Appleby, President & CEO.
