Renforth Resources Inc (CSE:RFR, OTCQB:RFHRF) revealed that fieldwork has started again at its wholly-owned 330 square kilometre (sq km) Surimeau battery metals district property in Quebec after the group received the required permit.
The surface work is focused on the Lalonde structure, following up on the visual mineralization encountered during channel sampling earlier this summer, and Renforth will also be chipping, stripping and channel sampling target areas on the 20km long Victoria target, 3.5km south of Lalonde.
"We are very happy to get back into the field, in very dry conditions, to continue our surface work which has, to date, yielded excellent results," said Nicole Brewster, CEO of Renforth in a statement.
"Lalonde is becoming quite interesting as we have the opportunity to do more work on it, this area will likely be drilled during our program anticipated for the latter half of this year. Our stripping contractor has done excellent revealing work for us to date, we are quite interested to see what he can uncover at Lalonde," she added.

Lab results for this summer's sampling program at Lalonde, where five trenches were dug around 3.7km north of the Victoria stripped area, are still pending, the firm noted.
At Lalonde, Renforth is now permitted for three trenches west of the road and perpendicular to the strike of the around 9km Lalonde mineralized structure.
The trenching is planned to start and finish in the Pontiac sediments to encompass the full mineralized package at Lalonde, said the company.
Renforth says Surimeau is Quebec's newest battery metals district and hosts several known areas of polymetallic mineralization, each with various levels of exploration, as well as a significant amount of unexplored ground.
Victoria West has been drilled over a strike length of 2.2km, within a 5km-long mineralized structure, proving nickel, copper, zinc and cobalt mineralization, in the western end of a 20km magnetic anomaly.
The company also owns 100% of the Parbec gold deposit, a surface gold deposit contiguous to the Canadian Malartic mine property in Malartic, Quebec.
