Sioux Narrows, Northwestern Ontario
Status: Advanced, PEA complete, Phase 2 Drilling in 2026

Our flagship project, Kenbridge, is 4,753 hectares and one of the most advanced nickel sulphide copper deposits in North America. With a completed Preliminary Economic Assessment, defined mineral resource, and significant underground infrastructure already in place, we are rapidly moving towards resource expansion and capital-efficient production.

Turtle Pond is a 3,454-hectare nickel-copper property located approximately 70 kilometres east of Kenbridge, in the same Archean geological setting. The property hosts three historical nickel-copper showings: Glatz, Double E, and Night Danger, with surface and drill results that warrant systematic follow-up.

Sill Lake is a 970-hectare silver-lead property in the Sault Ste. Marie Mining District, acquired by Tartisan in 2021. The deposit hosts a silver-lead vein system with strong historical grades. Historical sampling returned ore grades of up to 40 oz/ton silver and 10–30% lead from the argentiferous galena vein (view 2021 Ni 43-101).

The Apex Claims acquisition enhances Tartisan’s nickel-copper-cobalt-gold focused footprint in the Kenora Mining District and complements ongoing work at Kenbridge, consolidating a highly prospective land position contiguous to the company’s flagship project. These additional claims provide continued exploration pathways and district-scale upside potential.

First Nations Partners

Tartisan has maintained an active relationship with the Treaty #3 Grand Council, a nation representing 28 First Nations across a 55,000 square mile traditional territory, since May 2007. That relationship has produced a milestone that is, to our knowledge, unique in the Canadian mining industry.
 
Canadian Arrow Mines Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tartisan, received the first-ever Great Earth Law authorization granted to a resource company by the Treaty #3 Grand Council. This authorization covered the Kenbridge access road construction and reflects years of genuine engagement, not a process completed to satisfy a regulatory checkbox.
 
Tartisan has been recognized by the Ogichidaa (Grand Chief) of the Treaty #3 Grand Council as a leader in Indigenous relations. The Treaty #3 communities in the Kenbridge area include Naotkamegwanning (Whitefish Bay), Northwest Angle #33, Northwest Angle #37, and Onigaming.
 
We view this relationship as an ongoing responsibility, not a completed task.
