Renforth Resources Inc (CSE:RFR) (OTCPINK:RFHRF) (FRA:9RR) has announced the completion of a four-hole drill program at the 5 kilometre (km) long nickel, copper and zinc mineralized Victoria West target on its wholly-owned Surimeau District battery metals project in Quebec, encountering visible nickel within a vein at a depth of about 139 metres (m).
The company said the occurrence is the highest concentration of visible nickel discovered in drilling at Victoria West, following the highest concentration of visible copper intersected to date seen in the first hole of the program.
“The visible pentlandite in the second hole of our just completed program, along with the visible copper in the first hole, which was pictured in our last press release, is exciting to me as it is occurring as we drill deeper that we have before at Surimeau,” Renforth Resources CEO Nicole Brewster said in a statement.

“The core will be detail logged and samples submitted for assay, we are still waiting for our assay results from our previous program as well, we look forward to the receipt of both,” Brewster added.
Renforth noted that Victoria West is one of six polymetallic target areas on its wholly-owned Surimeau property historically documented as hosting mineralization, with several targets confirmed as mineralized and explored by Renforth.
It added that results are still outstanding from the April/May drill program at Victoria West.
Renforth also holds 100% of the 215 square kilometre (sq km) Surimeau District polymetallic project, where a potential district-scale volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) nickel-rich discovery of over 20 km has been confirmed.
The property boasts good access and numerous areas of interest, both VMS targets such as the 5 km Victoria West prospect, which Renforth is currently focused on, as well as gold prospects and other metals. Agnico Eagle's flagship LaRonde mine, exploiting a gold-rich VMS deposit, lies just 20 km to the north.
