TheNewswire - January 18, 2022 - Renforth Resources Inc. (CNSX:RFR.CN) (OTC:RFHRF) (FSE:9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased to share the consistent results of channel sampling across the ~275m stripped surface area of the ~5km Victoria West nickel/copper mineralized system within Renforth’s wholly owned ~30,000 hectare Surimeau District Property in NW Quebec. The channel samples demonstrate consistent elevated nickel and cobalt values, along with elevated copper and zinc values. In several locations the two mineralization types “mix”, the highlight of this “mixing” is a 12.9m section of Channel 49 which overall assays 0.121% Ni and 0.013% Co, including 0.224% Ni over 1m, which also includes 5.5m of 0.43% Cu and 1.63% Zn, within which 0.8m assays 2.05% Cu.

In addition to the channels cut there were several grab samples taken at the beginning of the program as stripping started but before channels could be cut. Grab samples are selected by the geologists and not representative of the whole of the mineralized system, highlights are presented below.

The channel sampling, carried out after stripping overburden which varied between 0 and 3m in depth, has revealed consistent nickel/cobalt mineralization, similar to what has been seen in the near surface drilling to date, however, it has also resulted in a greater proportion of copper/zinc intersections than seen in drilling. Exploration continues on this >5km polymetallic system, located within a 20km magnetic anomaly, where Renforth has only drilled 5,626m.


“I am happy to deliver results to shareholders which demonstrate that our discovery of a polymetallic, nickel/cobalt and copper/zinc, mineralized system at Victoria West, stretching over >5km and hiding in plain sight, is a surface system. This gives Victoria West another advantage, in addition to numerous road access options and hydro-electric power, we are dealing with easily, and cost effectively, accessed mineralization. For Renforth the multiple metals present, the location and the jurisdiction of this discovery mean we can consider grades which, while they may appear low when compared to other projects around the world and under deeper cover, are in fact very interesting to us. In addition, Surimeau is located approximately 70km from Glencore’s Horne Smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada’s only copper smelter which also engages in recycling of strategic and precious metals, shipping anode to their Montreal refinery, also Canada’s own copper/nickel refinery. If Renforth is fortunate to have an asset in Victoria West which is proven, in the future, to warrant being mined the solution is sitting within an hour from our doorstep. To be clear, Victoria West is not a mine yet, and we do not know if it will be. But we look forward to aggressively pursuing the answer to that question” states Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth.
