Renforth Resources Inc (CSE:RFR, OTCQB:RFHRF) has commenced its fall exploration program at Surimeau.
Stripping of the Beaupré copper discovery is underway.
Drilling is planned for the central portion of the Victoria mineralized horizon, and it is anticipated that the program will start later this month.
Beaupré was discovered near a lumber road in the north-east part of the Surimeau property by SOQUEM, who obtained an 8% copper grab sample, which Renforth verified with a 3.59% grab sample.
The Beaupré discovery is a greenfield discovery, located close to the regional Cadillac Break structure, with no historical record or geophysical signature in available surveys, although there is evidence of very old blasting activity.
Renforth will wash the exposed shear zone and remove overburden along strike and in a crosscut to better characterize what Beaupré is, and identify parallel veins, if any, that occur within the stripped crosscut.
Meanwhile, Renforth's geologists have completed an initial prospecting campaign at the McCart property, located near Iroquois Falls, Ontario.
The property contains three bands of NE/SW trending broad ridges, which can be divided into the north, south-central and south parts of the property.
Numerous traverses were carried out targeting these ridges using satellite photos to identify potential outcrop locations. Numerous outcrops contained narrow quartz-albite stringers, one of which contained a coarse clot of chalcopyrite and bornite.
The southern part of the property hosts a third series of broad NE-SW trending ridges comprised primarily of pillowed basalts and narrow interlayers of ultramafics. Numerous small historic blast pits were identified in this area. All of the pits contained veins of serpentinite with chrysotile along fractures and pillow selvages.
Samples were selected in the field and have been submitted for assay, and the results will be reported when received.
At the Parbec gold deposit, remodelling work is ongoing. This is being undertaken by Martin Demers, PGeo, and is at an approximate halfway point.
