Renforth Resources Inc (CSE:RFR, OTCQB:RFHRF) has announced the completion of significant follow-up fieldwork at its Victoria Multi Metals Zone, in Quebec, marking a pivotal step in its exploration efforts.
The company's geologists have conducted a comprehensive review of the mineralized drill holes across the zone, aiming to deepen their understanding of the mineralization vectors, the company told investors.
This latest fieldwork included the submission of samples from mineralized zones for platinum group elements (PGE) assay testing, following up on previous tests.
This initiative is part of Renforth's strategy to quantify the extent and grade of PGEs within the Victoria Multi Metals Zone.
"This work will answer some important questions we are asking internally,” Renforth CEO Nicole Brewster said in a statement.
“We know PGEs are present but not to what extent or grade.
“This has already yielded results from earlier efforts."
She added: "Essentially we are continuing with the science of proving the merit of Quebec's newest multi metals battery property, our setting, a large-scale structure with surface mineralization, road access and available and accessible hydro power has value in potential project longevity and low operating costs.
“The work we are doing is necessary in order to demonstrate potential and value."
Renforth is also undertaking petrographic analysis of both mineralized and non-mineralized core samples across various lithologies, to shed light on the alteration processes and the genesis of the mineralization observed in the zone.
The company noted that a detailed review of core samples from multiple drill holes was performed, focusing on identifying the structural and chemical nuances within the hydrothermal footprint of the VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide) system.
It is known for hosting significant zinc and copper mineralization, along with an adjacent nickel-cobalt bearing calc-silicate alteration zone, it added.
The company expects that insights gained from the review will guide future exploration activities, with an emphasis on identifying structural controls on mineralization.
