The Toronto-based firm retained Knight Piesold Consulting and Blue Heron Environmental to carry out the time-sensitive studies, it said in a statement.

Commencement of baseline studies is an “important next step” in the advancement of the Kenbridge nickel project, Tartisan CEO Mark Appleby told shareholders.
“The company is now reviewing all necessary steps in the permitting and approval process and we look forward to additionally updating shareholders on our proposed summer work program in the coming weeks,” Appleby said.
Kenbridge is located near the township of Sioux Narrows. The project, which has never been mined, has a mineral resource estimate and a 622-meter three-compartment shaft with two underground level workstations.
Tartisan is currently wrapping up a preliminary economic assessment for the project.
