Tartisan Nickel Corp. is moving forward with its 100% owned Sill Lake Silver Project, located approximately 30 kilometers north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. This project, now encompassing 970 hectares, is a former producer of silver and lead, with a history of underground mining operations.
A historic NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate, prepared by SMX International Corp. with an effective date of May 9, 2021, outlines Measured and Indicated resources for the Main Vein. At a silver cut-off grade of 60 ppm, the report details:
* **Measured Resources:** 35,703 tonnes grading 4.52 ounces per ton of silver, containing 161,490 ounces of silver.
* **Indicated Resources:** 67,941 tonnes grading 4.37 ounces per ton of silver, containing 296,843 ounces of silver.
* **Total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources:** 103,644 tonnes grading 4.42 ounces per ton of silver, aggregating to approximately 458,333 ounces of silver.
Associated with this historic resource are significant quantities of base metals, including 1,467,965 pounds of lead and 505,126 pounds of zinc.
Beyond the Main Vein, the Sill Lake property features three under-evaluated trends: North, Middle, and South Trends. These trends, identified through prior drilling and surface sampling, show potential for additional silver mineralization. While an SMX International Corp. report (2021) references a historical inferred silver resource of approximately 660,000 ounces in these additional veins, Tartisan notes that these estimates are historical, unverified by the company, and intended for reference only. The company plans to evaluate these trends to assess their significance.
**Advancing the Sill Lake Project: A Strategic Approach**
Tartisan’s strategy to re-activate the Sill Lake Project involves a multi-faceted approach focused on technical data compilation, target identification, and stakeholder engagement. Key components of this plan include:
* **Data Consolidation and Review:** A comprehensive compilation and review of all historical drilling, sampling, and production data will be undertaken to build a robust geological understanding of the project.
* **Exploration Target Evaluation:** The North, Middle, and South Trend veins will be evaluated to ascertain their potential for hosting significant silver mineralization.
* **Drill Target Definition:** Based on the data review and trend evaluation, priority drill targets will be identified along the known mineralized structures.
* **Permitting and Infrastructure Assessment:** An assessment of permitting requirements, site access, and existing infrastructure will be conducted to facilitate future exploration and development activities.
* **Stakeholder Relations:** Initial engagement with local and regional stakeholders will commence to ensure a collaborative approach to project advancement.
The company views Sill Lake as a brownfields opportunity in a well-established mining jurisdiction within Ontario. The project’s historical production, combined with the potential for new discoveries through modern exploration techniques, presents a compelling case for renewed development.
