Tartisan Nickel Corp. Provides Corporate Update on Projects and Planning

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN; OTC:TTSRF; FSE: A2D PCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on corporate activities on the suite of Company projects in Canada and Peru.

Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit, Atikwa Lake Area, Ontario

First, access road rehabilitation has been completed over the 13.2 km length to the site. This allows a lower-cost resumption of exploration in that air transport from nearby Sioux Narrows Ontario is not needed to the same extent. The line cutting program on the Kenbridge Nickel Copper Project has commenced and as at the date of this news release, two lines have been completed. Line cutting commenced at the southern mapped extremity of the Kenbridge Deposit as it averages some 90m in width; as well, one of the primary exploration targets for a similar depositional environment with historic surface mineralization is found on the west end of the second cut line in the program.

In this way, the Company may start the induced polarization geophysical survey on the two completed lines with the ability to lay out the lines on the frozen lakes, where required, and still hit one of the major exploration targets on the Kenbridge Property, while the rest of the line cutting grid is cut. The Company has made the decision to not pursue the drone-based magnetometer survey at this time.

MineMap Pty. Ltd., of Midland, Western Australia, has been contracted to provide an updated resource model and results of same are expected later in 2019 as well as an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, Iroquois Falls, Ontario

The Company successfully closed the sale of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project to VaniCom Resources Limited of Perth, W. Australia, in October, 2018. Tartisan Nickel retains the Financial Assurance Bond held in trust by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

As a result of the sale Tartisan also owns 1,750,000 shares of VaniCom Resources Limited.

To that end, the Company has filed a Progressive Rehabilitation Report with the Ministry so as to facilitate the release of funds, which total some C$240,000. Tartisan is actively working with the Ministry to address comments.

Tartisan CEO Mr. Mark Appleby noted, “2019 will bring a resurgence of exploration at Kenbridge to be financed initially by the return of the Financial Assurance funds pending approval of Tartisan’s remediation of the Alexo-Kelex Nickel Project, meaning that share dilution can be avoided while still generating exploration.”

At the Company’s Peruvian projects, site visits are planned for April, 2019 at which point exploration and development strategies should be put in place to create potential additional shareholder value. A key focus will be to define the manganese content of the Don Pancho Project, including core review, QA/QC confirmation sampling, and block modeling the Don Pancho project to the extent possible with existing drilling.
