TARTISAN NICKEL CORP. INTERSECTS 11.0 METRES OF 1.05% NI, 0.33% CU INCLUDING 2.0 METRES OF 4.79% NI, 1.25% CU AT THE KENBRIDGE NICKEL-COPPER-COBALT PROJECT, NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO

Tartisan Nickel Corp. has provided an update on the company's flagship Kenbridge nickel-copper-cobalt project, Sioux Narrows, Ont. The drill program is designed to test the on-strike and down-dip potential for additional nickel sulphide mineralization, and to enhance the size and grade of the Kenbridge deposit.

A total of 2,700 metres of drilling has been completed to date. The first three drill targets have been completed (drill holes KB26-207, KB26-208 and KB26-209). Samples have been delivered to AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay for analysis. Assays are pending for hole KB26-209. The drill rig is currently drilling the fourth drill hole KB26-210. This hole is designed to be drilled below the existing shaft bottom to test for the depth extension to the deposit.

Reported in this release are the results from the second infill drill hole KB26-208. Results from the hole confirm both A and B zones were intersected as outlined in Table 1. Zone A was intersected from 571.5 metres to 574.5 m drill depth and returned 0.68 per cent Ni, 0.28 per cent Cu over 3.0 metres. Zone B was intersected from 580.5 m to 591.5 m drill depth. Results were 1.05 per cent Ni, 0.33 per cent Cu over 11.0 metres including 2.0 metres of 4.79 per cent Ni, 1.25 per cent Cu. Drill core intersection widths are estimated to be between 65 and 80 per cent true width.

Mark Appleby, chief executive officer of Tartisan Nickel, stated: "We are very encouraged by the latest drill results from the Kenbridge nickel-copper-cobalt project. Intersecting 11.0 metres of 1.05 per cent Ni and 0.33 per cent Cu, including a high-grade interval of 2.0 metres grading 4.79 per cent Ni and 1.25 per cent Cu, and a high-grade interval of 3.5 metres grading 2.87 per cent Ni and 0.81 per cent Cu helps us confirm continuity of significant nickel-copper mineralization in this part of the system. These results strengthen our confidence in the project's potential to deliver meaningful value for our shareholders as we advance toward further delineation and resource development."

The Kenbridge property is located in the Kenora mining district, Sioux Narrows, Ont., Canada, with all-season road access. The Kenbridge deposit has an existing shaft to a depth of 2,042 feet (622 m), with level stations at 150 ft (45 m) intervals below the shaft collar and two levels developed at 350 ft (107 m) and 500 ft (152 m) below the shaft collar.

QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control)

Sample QA/QC procedures for Tartisan have been designed to meet or exceed industry standards. Drill core is collected from the diamond drill and placed in sealed core trays for transport to on-site sampling and core cutting facilities. The core is logged and samples taken from 0.3 metre to a maximum sample length of 1.5 m. The core samples are split with a diamond blade saw with continuous running water, half of the sample is sent for lab testing and the remaining half core is left in the core box for record or further sampling. The core samples are bagged in heavy plastic bags with six samples being placed into a rice bag for transport to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ont., or Calgary, Alta., for assay. Samples are submitted in batches of 50 to 100 g blind certified reference materials (CRMs) from CDN Resources, as well as duplicates and blank samples, are systematically inserted by the company into the sample stream with reference to the mineralization in the sampled rock and analyzed as part of the company's quality assurance/quality control protocol, as well AGAT Labs implements its own quality control testing by inserting its own CRMs and blanks in the sample stream for accredited testing.

All drill core samples were prepped and analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ont., or shipped to Calgary for testing. An ISO/IEC 17025 2017 certified independent laboratory from organizations like the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA), ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). They maintain accreditations across their facilities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec and internationally.

NQ-diameter sawed half-core samples from the drilling program were securely sent by Tartisan Nickel's geologists to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT), with sample preparation in Thunder Bay, Ont., and analysis in Thunder Bay, Ont., and Calgary, Alta. Samples were processed for Au (gold), Pt (platinum) and Pd (palladium) analysis by 50-gram fire assay with ICP-OES finish and for four-acid digestion, multielement analysis by inductively coupled plasma and mass spectrometry (ICP OES plus MS). AGAT sample preparation and laboratory analysis procedures conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet the requirements under NI 43-101 and Canadian Institute of Mining best practice guidelines. AGAT Laboratories is independent of Tartisan Nickel.

Samples were dried and crushed to two millimetres, from which a 250 g subsample split was then pulverized to 85 per cent passing a 75-micrometre sieve. Following preparation, assays were determined by the ICP OES method. A 0.25 g aliquot of the prepared pulp was digested in a four-acid solution consisting of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. Four acid is a near-total digest and only the most highly resistant minerals are not dissolved. The resulting solution was analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-ES for eight elements, and was corrected for interelement spectral interferences. Lower detection limits for this procedure are 0.01 part per million for nickel, 0.01 ppm for copper, 0.01 ppm for cobalt, 0.01 ppm for platinum, 0.01 ppm palladium, 0.01 ppm silver and 0.01 ppm for gold.

Samples with initial results beyond the upper detection limit of the ICP OES method were analyzed by (201-071) four-acid digest -- Metals Package, ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish (CGY). The thresholds are greater than 1 per cent for nickel, copper and cobalt. AGAT Laboratories employs internal quality control standards, duplicates and blank samples at set frequencies. Tartisan Nickel stores all its drilled core on site and takes pride in its facilities and strives for excellence in its QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) procedures.
