Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN, OTCQX:TTSRF) said it has acquired additional claims in the Turtle Pond area of northwestern Ontario, located about 70 kilometres east of its Kenbridge nickel deposit.
The company said the property consists of 85 claim units covering 1,732.35 hectares and hosts the historical Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings.
“The Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings display similar nickel and copper tenors as what we find near-surface at our Kenbridge Nickel Deposit,” Tartisan Nickel CEO Mark Appleby said in a statement.

“Acquisition of these showings complements the company's larger objective of developing the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit into an operating mine with a central milling facility,” Appleby added.
Tartisan noted that it will be formulating an exploration program for the new claims, consisting of Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys, surface sampling and diamond drilling for 2022.
It added that previous exploration efforts identified nickel-copper sulphide mineralization in 12 trenches along a 700 metre (m) trend at the Glatz nickel copper showing, with historical grab samples containing up to 2% nickel.
As well, the company said exploration diamond drilling work completed in 2009 and 2010 on the Night Danger nickel-copper showing included an intersection of 4.5% nickel over 0.7m at a drill depth of 57.5m.
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.
