[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN, FSE: A2DPCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Alexo-Kelex nickel-copper-cobalt site reclamation is slated to commence on June 19, 2018. The Alexo deposit was discovered in 1907, and between the years 1913 to 1919 some 51,851 tonnes grading 4.5% nickel and 0.7% copper was extracted and sent to Sudbury, Ontario, for processing. Then, in 1944, Harlin Nickel Mines shipped 4,900 tonnes of ore grading 4.5% nickel and 0.6% copper. Most recently, Tartisan Nickel predecessor company Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd shipped 6,000 tonnes grading 2.46% nickel, 0.31% copper, and 0.07% cobalt as part of a 10,000 tonne bulk sample permit held at the time, and started the reclamation of the project as part of a Closure Plan approved in 2004 and amended in 2011. There are two phases to the Tartisan Nickel Corp. site reclamation plan. The first phase concentrates on a general site cleanup with demolition of two wooden shacks and the rationalization of the existing Alexo-Kelex core storage facility, located at the west end of the Alexo pit. The second phase will entail moving the site office trailer offsite as well as the disposal of other pieces of unnecessary equipment. As well, a barrier is planned to prevent access to the Alexo pit highwall and existing rock piles and other areas will be dealt with as outlined in the Closure Plan. As part of ongoing environmental care to be managed by Tartisan Nickel Corp., water quality sampling will continue to occur as per the Closure Plan. Tartisan Nickel CEO Mr. Mark Appleby said, “The Alexo-Kelex reclamation program will make Tartisan Nickel Corp. a full-cycle battery metals company. We have early exploration for copper and gold at the Ichuna project in Peru; advanced exploration for zinc and manganese at the Don Pancho project, also in Peru; and optimization works at the Kenbridge nickel-copper-cobalt project leading to Tartisan Nickel Corp. updating the NI 43-101 Technical Report to be published this year.” The financial assurance of reclamation project success is represented by a bond placed with the Ministry of Northern Development of Mines totaling $258,583.00 plus accrued interest which will be returned to Tartisan when reclamation works have been completed to Ministry satisfaction.
