[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2023) - Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN) (OTCQX: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (\"Tartisan\", or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the company has conducted a first pass exploration review of the manganese (\"Mn\") potential on our 100% owned Don Pancho property (\"Don Pancho\") located in central Peru. The concessions cover an area of 917 hectares and is located 9 kilometres west of the Santander Mine previously operated by Trevali Mining. Infrastructure is considered excellent with road access and power. The polymetallic mineralization at Don Pancho is hosted in an extensive north-northwest-south-southeast-trending breccia zone called \"Yanapallaca\" and measures over 800 metres in length and 150 to 200 metres in width. Peruvian Metals Corp. drilled six diamond drill holes in 2014 totaling 2021 metres. The results show that several lead-zinc-silver (\"Pb-Zn-Ag\") intervals were intersected including 40 metres of 0.88 per cent Zn, 0.40 per cent Pb and 7.7 grams per tonne Ag, 22.65 metres of 1.00 per cent Zn, 0.26 per cent Pb, and 6.85 g/t Ag and 1.15 metres of 4.38 per cent Zn, 3.25 per cent Pb and 61.1 g/t Ag. Previous underground sampling located a massive sulphide zone returning 106 g/t Ag, 3.26 per cent Pb and 17.56 per cent Zn over 2 metres. Tartisan's wholly owned subsidiary, Minera Tartisan Peru S.A.C (\"MTP\") commenced a field review in late 2022 focused on the manganese potential at Don Pancho. The field work revealed that the manganese is associated with elevated lead-zinc-silver mineralization. Twenty-six surface samples were collected by MTP throughout the Yanapallaca Zone. Twenty-four of these samples were further assayed because of Mn over limits greater than 10% and averaged 0.81 oz Ag/MT, 0.66% Pb, 1.89% Zn, and 19.23% Mn. The range of the Mn from these assays were from 10.70% Mn to 31.17% Mn. Historical sampling by Peruvian Metals Corp. returned extensive manganese values with values up to 43% Mn. Channel sampling in an underground adit at Don Pancho showed three distinct intervals returning 31 metres of 9% Mn, 26 metres of 10.88% Mn and 17 metres 10% Mn. All three intervals have combined low grade Pb and Zn ranging from 0.60% and 1.32%.
