Renforth's Polymetallic Victoria West Delivers a Suite Victoria West Drill Results
Victoria West, the first target to be drilled by Renforth, has a current mineralized strike length, comprised of Renforth's drilling and surface sampling, along with prior drilling and surface sampling by Lac Minerals and other historic operators, of ~5km, co-incident with a mag high anomaly clearly visible on government geophysics, which continues to the east for ~15kms, where it ends on the Surimeau property at the Colonie target, which hosts polymetallic mineralization. It is the opinion of management and consulting geoscientists that Renforth's results are sufficient to support historic results, confirming the strike length of Victoria West. To the east, within the ~20km magnetic trend, the ground seems to be, upon brief field inspection, of low relief with little outcrop and unexplored, with no historic documentation available. The results of this drill program, including the measurement of magnetic susceptibility while logging core, demonstrate that the government survey is registering the magnetic signature of the nickel and cobalt bearing ultramafic body at Victoria West. Renforth's future plans include investigation of the ~14km of magnetic anomaly between Victoria West and Colonie in order to determine whether the mineralized ultramafic mineralization occurring with the magnetic anomaly over a 5 km portion of the anomaly continues the length of the anomaly.
Drilling has taken place at Victoria West in 3 different phases;
- October 2020 - a total of 2.5 holes were drilled in 194m using a track mounted drill which broke down 32m down the 3rd hole, ending the program. Each hole returned visible sulphides.
- March/April 2021 - a total of 15 holes were drilled in 3456m over a strike length of 2.2km, these holes were drilled south in pairs, designed to cross the north-south "width" of the east-west striking magnetic ultramafic body, targeted with the government aeromagnetic survey.
- June 2021 - a total of 4 holes were drilled in 773.2m, using the pads cleared for the prior drill program. These holes were each drilled north, at a steeper angle than the prior drilling, designed to undercut visually interesting results from the March/April drill program.
