- Tartisan CEO Mr. Mark Appleby noted, “2019 will bring a resurgence of exploration at Kenbridge to be financed initially by the return of the Financial Assurance funds pending approval of Tartisan’s remediation of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, meaning that share dilution can be avoided while still generating exploration.”
TORONTO, ON / March 6, 2019 / Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN; OTC QC: TTSRF; FSE: A2D PCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on corporate activities on the suite of Company projects in Canada and Peru.
Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit, Atikwa Lake Area, Ontario
First, access road rehabilitation has been completed over the 13.2 km
length to the site. This allows a lower-cost resumption of exploration
in that air transport from nearby Sioux Narrows Ontario is not needed to
the same extent. The line cutting program on the Kenbridge Nickel
Copper Project has commenced and as at the date of this news release,
two lines have been completed. Line cutting commenced at the southern
mapped extremity of the Kenbridge Deposit as it averages some 90m in
width; as well, one of the primary exploration targets for a similar
depositional environment with historic surface mineralization is found
on the west end of the second cut line in the program.
In this way, the Company may start the induced polarization
geophysical survey on the two completed lines with the ability to lay
out the lines on the frozen lakes, where required, and still hit one of
the major exploration targets on the Kenbridge Property, while the rest
of the line cutting grid is cut. The Company has made the decision to
not pursue the drone-based magnetometer survey at this time.
MineMap Pty. Ltd., of Midland, Western Australia, has been contracted
to provide an updated resource model and results of same are expected
later in 2019 as well as an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report.
Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, Iroquois Falls, Ontario
The Company successfully closed the sale of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel
Project to VaniCom Resources Limited of Perth, W. Australia, in October,
2018. Tartisan Nickel retains the Financial Assurance Bond held in
trust by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
As a result of the sale Tartisan also owns 1,750,000 shares of VaniCom Resources Limited.
To that end, the Company has filed a Progressive Rehabilitation
Report with the Ministry so as to facilitate the release of funds, which
total some C$240,000. Tartisan is actively working with the Ministry to
address comments.
Tartisan CEO Mr. Mark Appleby noted, “2019 will bring a resurgence of
exploration at Kenbridge to be financed initially by the return of the
Financial Assurance funds pending approval of Tartisan’s remediation of
the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, meaning that share dilution can be
avoided while still generating exploration.”
At the Company’s Peruvian projects, site visits are planned for
April, 2019 at which point exploration and development strategies should
be put in place to create potential additional shareholder value. A key
focus will be to define the manganese content of the Don Pancho
Project, including core review, QA/QC confirmation sampling, and block
modeling the Don Pancho project to the extent possible with existing
drilling.
