December 7, 2021 – TheNewswire - Renforth Resources Inc. (CNSX:RFR.CN) (OTC:RFHRF) (FSE:9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased to inform shareholders that drilling is underway under visual surface nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc mineralization previously stripped at our Victoria West target, within our 260 km2 property, contiguous to the Canadian Malartic Mine in Malartic, Quebec.




2 of 3 planned drill holes in the eastern end complete at dips of -45 and -60 degrees, extending visual nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc to 100 vertical metres below the stripped area, confirmed with an XRF



3 holes planned in the western end



1 or 2 holes planned in centre under large intrusive mound




“We took the opportunity to immediately follow up on our successful stripping program at Victoria West with a targeted drill program ahead of the holidays in the eastern and the western ends of the stripped area at Victoria West. We are drilling two areas which gave the strongest visual mineralization and XRF field results in our previously announced, recently completed channeling program. It is always a good day when the drill is turning, in this case on one of our battery metals (nickel and cobalt) and sulphide (copper and zinc) targets on our Surimeau District Property, advancing this project, endowed with critical and strategic minerals, as quickly as we can” states Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth.


Drilling is taking place in the eastern and the western ends of the ~275m stripped strike of the 2.2km mineralized strike which Renforth has drilled within the known 5km strike of the Victoria West target at Surimeau. At each set up three drill holes are being drilled to undercut the surface mineralization at -45, -60 and -80 degrees dip in order to test for continuity of mineralization down dip, which, if successful, may extend mineralization as deep as 120 vertical metres. Renforth also plans to test the centre of the stripped area, where a secondary intrusive separated the main shear zone, this will be done with one or two drill holes.


The best visual mineralization has so far been observed within strongly albitized calc-silicate altered zones within the ultramafics where frequent fine to coarse stringers, disseminations, and occasionally semi-massive sulfides, including pyrite, pyrrhotite, pentlandite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. Mineralization in the form of fine to coarse stringers and nodules of sulfide has also been observed in drill core in narrow graphitic bands at the ultramafic-sedimentary contacts.


Current Surimeau District Activities


The following are currently ongoing:


1 – Assay results from the beginning of the trenching/channeling at Victoria West have begun to be received, they will be released at once upon receipt of all the results


2 – Renforth has contracted an EM/Mag survey to cover the entire 20km Victoria West/Colonie magnetic feature and to extend ~4km to the north of Victoria West to include the Lalonde mineralized target.


3 – Drill core sample material is being selected for additional assaying to determine what degree of platinum group element mineralization is present. The only testing for platinum and palladium carried out to date was on the initial surface prospecting samples taken from the Colonie, LaLonde and Victoria West areas in June 2020 which gave positive assay results, demonstrating these metals are present at each location.


Current Parbec Gold Deposit Activities


The following are currently ongoing;


1 – Our deposit model on sections is being updated by our geologists with the results from the >15,000m of drilling completed earlier this year.


2 – This process is highlighting additional sampling which needs to be carried out. As we have previously stated it is difficult to visually assess the presence of gold in Parbec drill core, with rare exception. This leads to areas not being sampled, which we now know need to be sampled based on recent results. We will do the additional sampling as soon as possible. If this sampling results in gold results it will positively impact our deposit model.


3 – Renforth has commenced discussions with a group of consultants who come well recommended, to commence to process of carrying out a structural study at Parbec in order to learn the controls on the magnetic diorite mineralization at Parbec and the diorite splay into the Pontiac.
