Tartisan drills 6.1 m of 1.17% Ni at Kenbridge

Executive Summary

• Tartisan Nickel reported a high‑grade intercept in hole KB26‑210 at the Kenbridge nickel‑copper‑cobalt project: 24.6 m averaging 0.71 % Ni and 0.56 % Cu, including higher‑grade sub‑intervals of 1.17 % Ni/1.45 % Cu over 6.1 m and 1.73 % Ni/0.31 % Cu over 2.0 m.
• The results confirm continuity of significant nickel‑copper mineralization and support the company’s plan to upgrade its resource estimate.
• Phase 1 drilling (3,191 m total) is complete for the first four targets; phase 2 drilling will commence in spring after a brief pause for spring breakup.

Key Details

• Drill Hole KB26‑210 – Zone A: 0.71 % Ni and 0.56 % Cu over 24.6 m (true width estimated 65–80 %).
• Sub‑intervals: 1.17 % Ni / 1.45 % Cu over 6.1 m (762.4–768.5 m depth) and 1.73 % Ni / 0.31 % Cu over 2.0 m (774.5–776.5 m depth).
• Zone B: 0.27 % Ni and 0.24 % Cu over 5.8 m (800.2–806.0 m depth).
• Total Phase 1 drilling completed: 3,191 m across four targets (holes KB26‑207 to KB26‑210).
• Samples sent to Agat Laboratories Ltd. (Thunder Bay) for assay; QA/QC procedures follow NI 43‑101 standards.
• Kenbridge deposit currently has a shaft to 622 m depth with level stations at 45 m intervals and additional levels at 107 m and 152 m below the collar.
• Company plans: introduce borehole EM surveys on completed Phase 1 holes, then commence Phase 2 drilling in spring to test deeper extensions of the deposit.
