Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) has announced results from its completed drill programme on the Victoria mineralized system which stretches across the centre of its wholly owned Surimeau property in Quebec, Canada.
The programme finished 11 holes of about 3,500m of drilling, with each hole intersecting the mineralized package, demonstrating consistency at greater depths, and improving the tenor of mineralization.
Samples have been taken and submitted for assaying; results will be released once received in the new year.
The second to last hole drilled in the programme was located approximately 150m west, and 265m north, of the western end of the stripped area at Victoria. This hole is in a gap in the drilling footprint and delivered some of the best mineralization seen in any hole at Surimeau, as assessed visually and confirmed with an XRF, it intersected the northern mineralized horizon but was not anticipated in this location.
This undercut successfully intersected the mineralized zones further down dip, with a separation of about 50m down dip between the pierce points, a good place to stop the drill programme.
This drill programme brings the total meters drilled to 10,000m, with the most recent holes generally being deeper. Observation of the newest core concludes that the Surimeau mineralized assemblage is hosted in intercalated lenses of graphitic black shales and lenses of ultramafic flows containing elevated zinc, copper, and nickel sulfides.
The shales are comprised of deep marine sedimentary layers likely representing a distal VMS environment and range in thickness from .5m to several metres containing pyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite mineralization. The intercalated ultramafic flows and lenses range in thickness from several meters to tens of meters in thickness and host Ni mineralization throughout, generally grading in a range between 0.15-0.3%.
