Tartisan acquires four additional claims at Turtle Pond

TN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Tartisan Nickel Corp. acquired four additional nickel‑copper claims in the Turtle Pond area, expanding its property to 165 staked units covering 3,454 ha.
  • Historical and recent drilling on the Glatz, Double E and Night Danger showings returned multiple intercepts of nickel‑copper mineralization, including zones with >1 % Ni and notable PGE grades.
  • The company plans a 2026‑2027 exploration program (surface sampling and potential diamond drilling) to further evaluate the newly acquired claims.

Key Details

  • Acquisition: Four new claims added; total ownership now 100 % by wholly‑owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd.
  • Property Size: 165 claim units, 3,454 ha, located ~70 km east of Kenbridge deposit and ~40 km south of Dryden, ON.
  • Historical Mineralization (Glatz):
  • Grab samples: up to 1.95 % Ni; 2007 surface grab results – 1.28 % Ni/0.26 % Cu (trench 3), 0.99 % Ni/0.18 % Cu (trench 3), 0.39 % Ni/4.06 % Cu (trench 4).
  • Drill hole GZ‑09‑02: 0.34 % Ni, 0.16 % Cu, 0.02 % Co over 5.9 m from 45.0–50.9 m depth.
  • Double E VTEM Discovery (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 at 25.5 m depth (including 2 m of 1.35 % Ni, 0.81 % Cu, 0.36 g/t Pt, 0.27 g/t Pd, 0.31 g/t Au).
  • Lower zone at 135.1 m: 8.2 m of 0.55 % Ni, 0.38 % Cu.
  • Hole EE‑10‑04: 1.9 m of 0.51 % Ni/0.24 % Cu at 21.4 m; second 1.9 m of 0.52 % Ni/0.28 % Cu at 28 m.
  • Night Danger Intercepts (2009‑2010):
  • Hole ND‑09‑1: 9 m stringers/blebs, 0.57 % Ni, 0.45 % Cu at 79 m depth; two sections >1 % Ni.
  • Hole ND‑10‑1: 4.53 % Ni over 0.7 m at 57.5 m depth.
  • Recent Geophysical Work: TDEM survey conducted 28 Nov–21 Dec 2024 by Expert Geophysics Ltd. to define drill targets.
  • Future Plans (CEO Mark Appleby): Formulate an exploration program for 2026‑2027 comprising surface sampling and potentially diamond drilling on the newly acquired claims.

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 deposit… Acquisition of these additional claims … complement the company’s larger objective of developing the Kenbridge project into a much larger area play.” – Mark Appleby, President & CEO
