Tartisan Nickel Corp. Acquires Additional Nickel-Copper Claims at Turtle Pond, Northwestern Ontario

Executive Summary

• Tartisan Nickel Corp. acquired eleven additional claims in the Turtle Pond Area, expanding its land package to 161 claims covering 3,375 ha.
• The newly acquired area hosts historic nickel‑copper‑PGE showings (Glatz, Double E, Night Danger) with historic drill intercepts up to 4.53 % Ni over 0.7 m and multiple lower‑grade but extensive zones.
• Management announced plans to formulate a 2026‑27 exploration program that will include surface sampling and potentially diamond drilling to further evaluate the Turtle Pond property.

Key Details

• Acquisition: 11 claims added to Turtle Pond Area (≈40 km south of Dryden, ≈70 km east of Kenbridge Project). Total holdings now 161 claims, 3,375 ha, owned 100 % by Tartisan via wholly‑owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd.
• Historical Mineralization:
• Glatz Showings: Up to 1.95 % Ni in historic grab samples; recent (2007) grabs returned 1.28 % Ni & 0.26 % Cu, 0.99 % Ni & 0.18 % Cu, and 0.39 % Ni & 4.06 % Cu. Six drill holes previously intersected up to 0.34 % Ni, 0.16 % Cu, 0.02 % Co over 5.9 m.
• Double E VTEM Anomaly (2008): Hole EE‑09‑02 – 4.2 m of 0.81 % Ni, 0.52 % Cu, 0.20 g/t Pt, 0.16 g/t Pd, 0.20 g/t Au; includes 2 m of 1.35 % Ni, 0.81 % Cu, 0.36 g/t Pt, 0.27 g/t Pd, 0.31 g/t Au. Additional zone: 8.2 m of 0.55 % Ni, 0.38 % Cu at ~135 m depth. Hole EE‑10‑04 – two intervals of ~1.9 m each with ~0.5 % Ni and 0.24–0.28 % Cu.
• Night Danger Showings (2009‑2010): Hole ND‑09‑1 – 9 m wide sulphide stringers assaying 0.57 % Ni, 0.45 % Cu at 79 m depth; two sub‑intervals >1 % Ni. Hole ND‑10‑1 – 4.53 % Ni over 0.7 m at 57.5 m depth.
• Geophysical Work: TDEM survey conducted 28 Nov–21 Dec 2024 by Expert Geophysics Ltd. to define drill targets for future work on Turtle Pond.
• Future Plans (CEO Quote): “Acquisition of these claims complement the company's larger objective of developing the Kenbridge Nickel‑Copper‑Cobalt Project into an operating mine… The Company will be formulating an exploration program consisting of surface sampling and potentially diamond drilling for 2026‑27.” – Mark Appleby, President & CEO.
• Qualified Person: Technical information reviewed and approved by Dean MacEachern, P.Geo., Independent Consultant (NI 43‑101 Qualified Person).

Notable Quotes

“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‑Cobalt Project. Acquisition of these claims complement the company's larger objective of developing the Kenbridge project into an operating mine with a central milling facility.” – Mark Appleby, President & CEO.
