PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TARTISAN NICKEL CORP. DRILLING KENBRIDGE NORTH TARGETS
UPDATES PROGRESS AT THE KENBRIDGE NICKEL-COPPER-
COBALT PROJECT, NW ONTARIO.
Toronto, Canada, October 28 , 2021 – Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN; OTCQX: TTSRF;
FSE:A2D) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update from the ongoing
10,000 metre diamond drilling program at the 100% owned Kenbridge Nickel Project located in
the Kenora Mining District, Ontario. The Phase 1 drill campaign, utilizing 2 drill rigs, is
approximately 90% completed. One drill has been mobilized to the Kenbridge North target
where it will complete 3 planned drill holes, approximately 500 meters each drill hole. The
Kenbridge North target is located approximately 2.5 kilometres north of the Kenbridge Nickel
Deposit and was identified from a ground based Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey
completed in early 2021. The Kenbridge North target is interpreted to represent similar rock
types that host the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit.
A geophysical crew has completed Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) surveying of holes
KB21-199, 201, 202, and 204 in addition to previously surveyed holes KB21-198 and KB21-
200. Preliminary interpretation from data collected in KB21-198 and KB21-200 suggest that two
parallel, steeply dipping, strongly conductive zones extend below the intersections from holes
KB21-198, KB21-200 and KB21-202. Hole KB21-204 was targeted to test these same
interpreted conductors approximately 200 metres down dip of KB21-202. Highlights from
KB21-202 included two nickel-copper zones (Zone A and B) at a drill depth of 663.0 metres and
693.7 metres. KB21-202 Zone A returned 25.5 metres of 1.13% Ni and 0.61% Cu including
higher grade intersections of 4.5 metres of 2.96% Ni and 1.66% Cu and 1.5 metres of
4.17% Ni and 2.14% Cu. (SEDAR October 12, 2021). Hole KB21-204 has been completed
with assays pending. Hole KB21-205 was completed to a depth of 1179 metres and intersected
the gabbro pyroxenite host rock approximately 150m north of KB21-204. Assays are also
pending. Hole KB21-206 is in progress and is targeted to test the gabbro pyroxenite host rocks
between KB21-204 and KB21-205.
Interpretation of all available data including recently acquired borehole TDEM and drill core
assays will be incorporated into the existing geological model to aid in guiding additional
diamond drilling, particularly downdip of the known mineralization.
The current drill program was designed to target the down dip and along strike extension of the
Kenbridge Ni-Cu Deposit and to test the Kenbridge North target.
