Tartisan completes purchase of three claims in Kenora

Executive Summary

• Tartisan Nickel Corp. has completed the acquisition of the Apex claims, a land package totaling approximately 420 hectares located in the Atikwa Lake region of the Kenora mining district, Northwestern Ontario.
• The acquisition consolidates Tartisan's land position, placing the new claims immediately south of and contiguous to its flagship Kenbridge nickel-copper-cobalt project, bringing the total project land package to approximately 4,724 hectares (47 square kilometres).
• The Apex claims are underlain by Archean-aged volcanic and intrusive rocks with historical data indicating favorable structures for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co sulphide mineralization, including 13 historical diamond drill holes.

Key Details

• Acquisition Details: Purchase of three claims historically identified as the Apex claims.
• Land Size: Approximately 420 hectares acquired; total Kenbridge project land package now encompasses approximately 4,724 hectares (roughly 47 square kilometres).
• Location: Atikwa Lake region, Kenora mining district, Northwestern Ontario; contiguous to and immediately south of the Kenbridge project.
• Geological Context: Underlain by Archean-aged volcanic and intrusive rocks known to host nickel, copper, cobalt, and gold mineralization.
• Historical Data: Includes surface sampling, prospecting, and airborne geophysics indicating favorable structures and lithologies for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co sulphide mineralization.
• Strategic Value: Provides expanded regional exploration coverage, potential for parallel nickel-copper feeder systems, structural repeats, and control of an underexplored MDI-level prospect area.
• Future Work Plan (2025-2026):
  • Compilation of historical assessment files.
  • Review of airborne magnetic and EM data sets.
  • Prospecting and surface sampling.
  • Target generation for potential future drill testing.

Notable Quotes

• "The Apex claims enhance our nickel-copper-focused footprint in the Kenora mining district and complements our ongoing work at Kenbridge. 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 and CEO
