Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN, OTCQX:TTSRF) has announced core assay results from the diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Kenbridge nickel project in northwestern Ontario, which included 3.2% nickel and 0.2% copper over 1.1 meters (m) from 993.6m and 1,002m depth.
The company said its Phase 1 campaign has now been completed for a total of 10,737m of diamond drilling.
“What is of interest from hole KB21-204 is the high-grade nickel section. This is the deepest intersection with assay results on the Kenbridge Deposit to date,” Tartisan Nickel CEO Mark Appleby said in a statement.

“Although the high-grade is narrow in this hole it suggests there is a high-grade nickel tenor when intersecting semi-massive sulphide,” Appleby added.
Tartisan noted that all drill holes completed at the Kenbridge Deposit have been surveyed with a downhole Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) system and interpretation of all available data will be incorporated into the existing geological model to aid in guiding additional diamond drilling, particularly down dip of the known mineralization.
The company added that it also working at enhancing the infrastructure of the project, including improving all-season access and upgrading the core processing facilities, which Tartisan believes will allow it to move towards doing year-round work programs.
Tartisan Nickel's flagship asset is the Kenbridge nickel deposit, which lies in the Kenora Mining District of Ontario. It also owns the Sill Lake silver property in Sault St. Marie, Ontario as well as the Don Pancho manganese-zinc-lead-silver project in Peru.
