TARTISAN NICKEL CORP. PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE ON
PROJECTS AND PLANNING
Toronto, Canada, 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. T he 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 s ame 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 VaniC om
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 Ap pleby 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.
