[{"type":"text","content":"Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN, FSE: A2DPCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit works in progress. MineMap Pty Ltd. of Perth, Australia, (“MineMap”) is working on the updated resource calculation for the Kenbridge Deposit. This assignment has three aspects: First, to understand the nickel and copper endowment for the Kenbridge Deposit without regard for financial or geoscientific cutoffs, and which includes a volumetric analysis of metals distribution on five metre intervals from the top to the bottom of the deposit. Tartisan will use this information to provide reference values for the intensity of geophysical responses in the Induced Polarization survey planned for the Kenbridge Deposit to be carried out later in 2018. These reference values will then be used to potentially quantify geophysical results on the rest of the Kenbridge Property so as to accelerate target definition for eventual drilling. Second, MineMap is preparing a NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation using the same grade cutoffs as the Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Kenbridge Deposit filed by Canadian Arrow Mines Limited, the predecessor to Tartisan Nickel Corp. MineMap is also refining the distribution of solids (discrete areas of nickel-copper mineralization) within the block model so to facilitate target selection for eventual deep drilling on the Kenbridge Deposit. Third, MineMap is calculating the resources using an Inverse Distance Weighted algorithm given the structural setting of the Kenbridge Deposit and orientation of the solids. To check this, an Ordinary Kriging algorithm will be used given the Kenbridge Deposit as a separate entity with discrete lithological boundaries. These results will form the basis for an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report to be filed later this year. Tartisan Nickel CEO Mr. Mark Appleby said, “This analysis should allow us to rapidly increase the measured and indicated resources at the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit by selectively drilling discrete inferred resource solids located right the way through the deposit.” At the past-producing Alexo-Kelex Nickel-Copper Mine near Timmins, Ontario, reclamation works have been largely completed (see News Release June 11, 2018). The principal remaining task that complies with Cl...
