Extension of the strike length of the Lalonde surface battery metal mineralization to 9 km on the Renforths Surimeau District property

July 26, 2022 - TheNewswire - Renforth Resources Inc. RFR RFHRF (FSE:9RR) ("Renforth" or the "Company") is pleased to inform shareholders this summer The 2022 prospecting at Surimeau was successfully concluded with, among other discoveries, the extension of the known Lalonde surface battery metal mineralization to a strike length of 9 km. out of the 330 km² wholly owned by Renforth. property located south of Cadillac, Quebec and adjacent to the Canadian Malartic mine. During the summer 2022 program, Renforth continued to work to define the extent of surface/subsurface polymetallic mineralization on the Surimeau District property, as evidenced by outcrops, drill results and geophysics. To date, this has resulted in the definition of the Victoria mineralized structure approximately 20 km in length and the Lalonde mineralized structure now approximately 9 km in length. A significant amount of ground remains untested, in part because Renforth has, to date, only used existing logging roads and trails to access the property.

"We are very pleased with the visual results from our second prospecting program at Surimeau this year, this time it appears Lalonde provided the best samples and each trench intersected mineralization The extension of The Lalonde discovery to 9 km adds to the overall picture of battery metals at Surimeau, at the same time we have not yet fully prospected the entire Lalonde magnetic corridor Our Surimeau property continues to become more and more interesting, while our work is at an early stage it is clear that we are dealing with two mineralized systems offering a significant length of surface mineralization, which justifies our continued efforts to determine the true size of Surimeau,” says Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth.

Summer 2022 program

During this program, the Renforth field team, in addition to prospecting various targets, dug 8 different trenches between the Lalonde and Victoria polymetallic mineralized systems. In each trench, a certain amount of mineralization was exposed, with the best mineralization (confirmed visually and by XRF) coming from Lalonde. Interestingly, each trench exposed different parts of each mineralized system, helping to define the orientation of the mineralization and, in some cases, clearly indicating that the trench should be extended to capture the full cross-section of the mineralization. Renforth discovered that at Victoria there is a second horizon of mineralization sitting to the north of the mineralized horizon discovered during the fall 2021 stripping at Victoria, the northern crosscut terminated approximately 40m from where it would have intersected the northern mineralization. Each trench is described below and marked on the location map. Channels were dug in each trench and samples were sent for analysis; the results will be published as soon as they are available. Due to the success of this program, Renforth is now planning additional stripping on strike at Victoria in addition to a series of larger transverse stripping trenches along strike at Lalonde to better define the extent of the mineralization. At Victoria, the transverse trenches, which will start south and north of the area currently being stripped, will extend well into the sediments, hopefully capturing any additional mineralized horizons.

Lalonde Trenches

Trenches 1-5 were dug at Lalonde, approximately 3.7 km north of the Victoria bare area. Trench 5 represents a westward extension of ~2km for the Lalonde mineralization.

Trench 1 The first trench exposes about 5 meters of Pontiac sediments at the north end with occasional narrow beds of graphitic mudstone, mineralized with traces of chalcopyrite and pyrite stringers. Ultramafics lie immediately south of the sediments with a narrow ab shear band between the two units (about 50-60 cm). The ultramafics show bands of calco-silicate alteration as well as bands of moderate to strong albitization with about 15-20% sulphide overall. South of the ultramafics is strongly amphibolized ma...
