Tartisan Nickel is supporting a two-day prospecting and geological training course for First Nations community members, scheduled for August 25 and 26, 2026, in Northwestern Ontario.

The initiative combines classroom training at the Clarion Hotel in Kenora with field instruction at the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Tartisan’s 100%-owned flagship asset in the Kenora Mining District. Personnel from the Ontario Geological Survey will help deliver the program alongside mineral development advisors.

The course introduces participants to local geology, mineral occurrences, sampling and testing techniques, GPS use, geological databases, prospecting registration, and exploration fundamentals. Tartisan has engaged with Treaty #3 First Nations regarding the project since May 2007.

“This training initiative is about building knowledge, confidence and meaningful participation,” said Mark Appleby, President and CEO of Tartisan Nickel Corp. “Providing First Nations community members with practical geological and prospecting skills can help strengthen their understanding of the land and create opportunities for greater involvement in exploration activities. We are pleased to support this important first step and to welcome the participants to the Kenbridge Nickel Project.”

“Tartisan believes that education, skills development and respectful collaboration are essential to building productive and lasting relationships with Indigenous communities,” Appleby said. “The Company looks forward to supporting initiatives that strengthen local knowledge, participation and opportunities associated with responsible mineral exploration in Northwestern Ontario.”

Following Phase 1 drilling, Tartisan is planning a 2026 Phase 2 drill program at the asset, alongside ongoing resource expansion, technical, environmental, infrastructure, and community-engagement initiatives.
