Tartisan Nickel

What Tartisan Nickel does

Tartisan Nickel Corp. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration and development company headquartered in Bracebridge, Ontario, and listed on the CSE (TN), OTCQX (TTSRF), and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (8TA). The company's core asset is the 100%-owned Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Northwestern Ontario, a brownfield advanced-stage sulphide deposit featuring an existing 622-metre deep, 3-compartment shaft with working levels at 107m and 152m depths. Kenbridge hosts a NI 43-101 Measured & Indicated Resource of 74 million pounds nickel, 39.1 million pounds copper, and 1.0 million pounds cobalt, and a 2022 PEA demonstrated an after-tax NPV of C$109M at a 5% discount rate with 20% IRR over a projected nine-year, 1,500 tonne-per-day mine life. Tartisan's exploration methodology relies on diamond drilling, NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation, and advanced geophysics including airborne MobileMT, Borehole EM, and TDEM surveys across a 47 sq km property footprint.

Tartisan is pre-revenue and generates capital exclusively through equity markets: flow-through share private placements, public equity raises on three exchanges, and a one-time gross revenue royalty grant to Electric Royalties Ltd. The Kenbridge Project is advancing through a Phase 1 drill program (3,191m completed in March 2026 with high-grade intercepts) toward a Pre-Feasibility Study via a Tetra Tech-led gap analysis. Beyond Kenbridge, the company holds three complementary assets through its wholly-owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Limited: the Turtle Pond nickel-copper property (3,564 hectares near Dryden, Ontario), the Sill Lake former-producing silver-lead mine near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and the Don Pancho manganese-zinc-lead-silver project in Peru.

The company serves two distinct customer sets: institutional and retail investors in the critical minerals capital markets (via three stock exchange listings), and ultimately, upon mine development, North American battery and EV supply chain off-takers seeking ethically-sourced, jurisdictionally-stable nickel-copper-cobalt. Tartisan has established a Treaty #3 First Nations Great Earth Law authorization (2012) and partners with Talon Resources on community engagement. Capital allocation is heavily concentrated on Kenbridge de-risking through 2026-2027, with the senior leadership team led by President & CEO D. Mark Appleby (since 2010) supported by a three-person board, a CFO appointed in April 2026, and a recently expanded Board of Advisors.

Revenue model

1. Equity Financing: The company is pre-revenue and generates capital through flow-through share financings, private placements, and public market equity raises to fund exploration activities at its mineral properties.
2. Royalty Agreements: The company has granted gross revenue royalties on mining patents to Electric Royalties Ltd., generating upfront cash and equity consideration, with potential additional proceeds if royalty options are exercised.
3. Future Production Revenue: Upon development, the company expects to generate revenue from sale of nickel, copper, and cobalt concentrates produced from the Kenbridge Project, targeting the North American critical minerals supply chain.

Core offering

Tartisan Nickel Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on identifying, defining, and advancing nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposits in Ontario, with a secondary silver-lead project and a manganese-zinc-lead-silver property in Peru. The flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project features an existing 622-metre deep shaft, a completed Preliminary Economic Assessment, and ongoing drill programs aimed at resource conversion and depth extension, with future production of nickel, copper, and cobalt concentrates targeted for the North American critical minerals supply chain.

Product overview

Tartisan Nickel Corp. is a Canadian critical minerals exploration and development company operating a portfolio of four mineral projects across two countries. The flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Northwestern Ontario is an advanced-stage deposit with completed PEA and ongoing drilling toward PFS. This core asset is complemented by the Sill Lake Silver-Lead Project (brownfields former producer near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario), the Turtle Pond Nickel-Copper Project (greenfields exploration property near Dryden, Ontario), and the Don Pancho Manganese-Zinc-Lead-Silver Project in Peru. The company holds 100% ownership of all projects through its wholly-owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Limited and equity stakes in several other mining companies.

Products and services

• Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project Flagship advanced-stage nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide deposit located near Sioux Narrows in Northwestern Ontario, covering 47 sq km with an existing 622-metre deep, 3-compartment shaft featuring multiple working levels at 107m and 152m depths. The project has completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) projecting a nine-year mine life at 1,500 tonnes per day, C$109M after-tax NPV at 5% discount rate, and 20% IRR. Measured and Indicated Resources contain 74 Mlb nickel, 39.1 Mlb copper, and 1.0 Mlb cobalt. Phase 1 drilling (3,191m across 4 holes) confirmed depth continuity of high-grade mineralization including 24.6m of 0.71% Ni, 0.56% Cu and 6.1m of 1.17% Ni, 1.45% Cu. Intended for future production of nickel, copper, and cobalt concentrates for the North American critical minerals supply chain.
• Sill Lake Silver-Lead Project Former producing silver-lead mine located approximately 30 km north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, covering 970 hectares. The brownfields project hosts historic NI 43-101 mineral resources with documented underground mining operations and multiple underexplored vein trends (North, Middle, and South). Intended for future redevelopment as a silver-lead resource to diversify critical minerals exposure.
• Turtle Pond Nickel-Copper Project Nickel-copper exploration property located approximately 40 km south of Dryden, Ontario, and approximately 70 km east of the Kenbridge deposit. The project encompasses 170 staked units covering 3,564 hectares and hosts the historical Glatz, Double E, and Night Danger nickel-copper showings, with identified drill targets from TDEM geophysical surveys. Intended for greenfield nickel-copper exploration to complement the Kenbridge flagship asset.
• Don Pancho Manganese-Zinc-Lead-Silver Project Mineral property located in Peru, holding manganese, zinc, lead, and silver mineralization. The project provides international diversification of the company's mineral portfolio beyond its Ontario-focused assets.
