Renforth Resources Inc. Announces Successful Prospecting Extends Battery Minerals to Surface on Renforth's Surimeau District Property
analysis, which will be released once received. Successful prospecting of the central portion of the Victoria Structure proves the presence of battery metal mineralization in outcrop, which, along with the EM anomalies demonstrating the presence of surface/near surface sulphides, allows Renforth to conclude that the Victoria Structure is mineralized. Work will continue to define the grade and amount of mineralization. The prospecting progress map
below indicates areas which were sampled, including areas sampled for lithium. The red lines are the gps recorded tracks of field crew this program, the grey lines are their earlier tracks, showing both what has been uncovered but also how much ground has yet to be explored, even within the Victoria Structure and along strike of Lalonde. Calc-silicate Surface Mineralization: The calc-silicate altered unit was originally identified as quartzite. It is usually found in the contact zone between the sediments and ultramafics either directly at or on the contact, or proximal to it. This unit resembles quartzite but is green to brown in colour, fine to medium grained with a plagioclase matrix containing bands and crystals of Cr-diopside Cr-tremolite and occasional bright green Cr-grossular garnets. This unit seems to be an alteration of the ultramafics themselves and is generally very well mineralized with wide disseminations of coarse clotty sulfide, often 5-15% sulfide overall within these zones. It is also often quite foliated. XRF scans while logging core indicated the presence of Ni, Cu, Zn and Co. These observations were proven with drill core assay results where wide intervals of Ni are present, ranging from 0.1 to 0.34% Ni. Copper, zinc, and cobalt values range quite a bit with up to 1.46% Zn and 0.9% Cu within this unit. Cobalt is present through most samples, generally between 60 ppm - 200 ppm. This unit was also observed at surface in the May 2022 Prospecting program within the extent of the current DDH, indicating that this unit is present from surface to a maximum vertical depth of 200.5m in drill core over a strike length of at least 2.2km. It is possible that this is the main shear exposed in the Fall 2021 trenching program. EM Survey Results: As indicated in the prospecting progress map above many of the EM anomalies were visited, numerous had outcrop present. There are still a few anomalies to visit on the Victoria Structure to search for outcrop, this will be done in the next prospecting program at Surimeau. It is anticipated this second campaign will commence in the next few weeks.
