JV Article: “As a result of this drill campaign we were able to increase the resource by 20%... Given the project’s low initial capex and short lead time to production, we look at ourselves as low-hanging fruit” Mark Appleby, CEO of tartisannickel $TN.CA
Artist’s rendering of the future Kenbridge mine. A 622-metre shaft with two working levels sunk in 1954 ensures a modest pre-production capex and a short timeline to production. has released a preliminary economic assessment for its 100%-owned Kenbridge nickel project in northwestern Ontario’s Kenora Mining District.
The growing awareness of the need to produce battery metals like nickel in an environmentally responsible way favours sulphide nickel deposits, which use much less energy than laterite deposits in the production process. “The Kenbridge project is a sulphide deposit, so that’s a plus for us,” said Appleby.
The project is located 70 km southeast of Kenora and has a land position encompassing 42 sq km including a mix of patented and unpatented claims. Work currently underway on a 13-km all-season road to the property is scheduled for completion by year end, grid power is within 40 km of the site and a skilled workforce is locally available in Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances and neighbouring Indigenous communities.
Tartisan has also budgeted for an additional 8,000 plus metres of drilling to continue to test the down-dip extension and bring some of the inferred resource into the indicated category. MacEachern adds that one of the advantages of the project is that the existing infrastructure makes for a modest capex. “It’s under C$140 million to get started. That compares with a lot of large low-grade deposits that will take C$2 billion to get going.”
“There are some underground zones that are higher grade that can be brought into the mining plan early,” said MacEachern. “That will allow us to payback the project in a little more than three years and if the price of nickel moves up, so much the better. By focusing on the underground, we alleviate risk if the price of nickel goes down to, say, $6 per pound.”

Epipalaeolithic animal tending to Neolithic herding at Abu Hureyra, Syria (12,800–7,800 calBP): Deciphering dung spherulitesExcavations at Abu Hureyra, Syria, during the 1970s exposed a long sequence of occupation spanning the transition from hunting-and-gathering to agriculture. Dung spherulites preserved within curated flotation samples from Epipalaeolithic (ca. 13,300–11,400 calBP) and Neolithic (ca. 10,600–7,800 calBP) occupations are examined here alongside archaeological, archaeobotanical, and zooarchaeological data to consider animal management, fuel selection, and various uses of dung. Spherulites were present throughout the entire sequence in varying concentrations. Using a new method to quantify spherulites, exclusion criteria were developed to eliminate samples possibly contaminated with modern dung, strengthening observations of ancient human behavior. Darkened spherulites within an Epipalaeolithic 1B firepit (12,800–12,300 calBP) indicate burning between 500–700°C, documenting early use of dung fuel by hunter-gatherers as a supplement to wood, coeval with a dramatic shift to rectilinear architecture, increasing proportions of wild sheep and aurochsen, reduced emphasis on small game, and elevated dung concentrations immediately outside the 1B dwelling. Combined, these observations suggest that small numbers of live animals (possibly wild sheep) were tended on-site by Epipalaeolithic hunter-gatherers to supplement gazelle hunting, raising the question of whether early experiments in animal management emerged contemporaneously with, or pre-date, cultivation. Dung was used to prepare plaster floors during the Neolithic and continued to be burned as a supplemental fuel, indicating that spherulites were deposited via multiple human- and animal-related pathways. This has important implications for interpretations of archaeobotanical assemblages across the region. Spherulite concentrations dropped abruptly during Neolithic 2B (9,300–8,000 calBP) and 2C (8,000–7,800 calBP), when sheep/goat herding surpassed gazelle hunting, possibly corresponding with movement of animals away from th
