Tartisan Nickel Corp. Acquires Nickel-Copper Claims, Outlines 2026 Work Program at Turtle Pond, Northwestern Ontario

Executive Summary

• Tartisan Nickel Corp. acquired four additional claims in the Turtle Pond Area, expanding its wholly-owned property to 170 staked units (3,564 ha) in Northwestern Ontario, approximately 70 km east of its flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit.
• The expanded property hosts historical nickel-copper showings (Glatz, Double E, and Night Danger) with extensive historical trenching and drilling results indicating significant Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization.
• A TDEM geophysical survey was completed in late 2024 to identify drill targets, with a 2026 exploration program planned to include trail/access work, geological mapping, surface sampling, and potential diamond drilling.

Notable Quotes

• Mark Appleby, President and CEO: "The Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings display similar nickel and copper tenors as what we find near surface at our Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit. Acquisition of these claims will complement the company's larger objective of developing the Kenbridge Project into an area play. The Company has formulated a 2026 Turtle Pond exploration program consisting of trail and access work, geological mapping and surface sampling, with potentially diamond drilling in 2026-27. We will have boots on the ground this summer."
