Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN, OTCQX:TTSRF) has revealed that the company has started construction on an all-season access road for its flagship Kenbridge Nickel project in the Kenora Mining District, Northwestern Ontario.
The Toronto-based based mineral exploration company said its Kenbridge Nickel project is located via the Trans-Canada Highway, 10.2 kilometers (km) from the town of Sioux Narrows. The Maybrun Mine Road turnoff is the primary access to the Kenbridge Nickel project.
According to the company, there’s a 13.1 km brush road into the Kenbridge Nickel project from the Maybrun staging area. Tartisan said it has received the necessary work permit from the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry for road maintenance and all necessary upgrades, including “brushing, ditching, graveling, and installing culverts.”
