Renforth Locates Visible Gold on Nixon-Bartleman Property

Renforth Locates Visible Gold on Nixon-Bartleman Property



Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) -

Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that exploration on the Nixon-Bartleman property in the West-Timmins Mining Area discovered visible gold at surface in several locations.   As announced on August 5th Renforth has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 55% interest in the Nixon-Bartleman property, located on the Porcupine-Destor fault in the West Timmins mining area.  

A prospecting crew is currently in the field on the property, their exploration efforts are guided by the significant amount of historical property information Renforth has access to.  In the course of this exploration the crew has encountered and sampled visible gold at surface in several locations, including the following;

Powerline Showing – property access via the most direct route was proven impossible due to flooding of the roadway.  Instead a circuitous route which crosses the powerline in the northern part of the property was used.  On the first field day, while travelling this corridor to the historically known mineralization location, the team came upon an approximately 20mx20m wide outcrop hosting several small quartz veins.  Of the samples taken in this location one hosted numerous grains of gold in the contact between the wall rock and the quartz vein, interestingly this vein was adjacent to an approximately 1m wide band of strong shistosity running N-S, which may parallel the main fault on the property.  There is no record of gold in this location on the property and the setting of this discovery is unusual in that the historic gold occurrences all seem to have been in veining running NE-SW.  The discovery of gold by the exploration team in a cross-cutting structure indicates to Renforth that, in addition to the mineralized structures historically defined, Renforth needs to examine cross-cutting structures, as there is the chance there is more than one mineralized cross-cutting structure on the property.

Pit Showing – historic records indicate a pit on the property of approximately 3m depth with record of gold values being obtained.  After removing a beaver dam from an adjacent area of pooling the pit became accessible for the first time, according to records, since the 1930s.  Working within the pit the crew noted numerous instances of visible gold on the north wall of the pit, frequently in association with pyrite, set in minor quartz veins and/or along shear planes.  No gold was visible in the main vein intersected in the pit.  This again indicates that Renforth needs to look at the structural setting of the property, paying attention to what has been discovered in this program to date, and any further findings, as opposed to only the historic approach and work done.  Several samples were taken from this location, including both grab samples and channels cut in the pit walls.

Main Outcrop – the property hosts a main outcrop, approximately 200m long by 50m wide, which has been entirely stripped in the past and is well exposed.  A series of parallel quartz veins cross this outcrop in a NE/SW direction, the historic focus has been confined to this area.  Renforth has focused on this outcrop and attempted to relocate historically documented gold sampling locations.  Gold has been located at surface in several different locations on the main outcrop, interestingly one of these samples came from a blue quartz vein.

In addition to these areas of focus the field team is exploring historic trenching to the east of the main outcrop, the area between the pit and the newly discovered powerline showing, and the previously unexplored area west of the main outcrop.  Renforth will release additional field information as it is available.  Samples taken in this program have been taken under the supervision of Brian H. Newton P.Geo and have been bagged and tagged in the field.  Once bagged and tagged the samples have been placed in rice bags with security seals applied and stored in a secure location.  Upon conclusion of the program these samples will be personally delivered to an assay facility and assayed, results will be released once available.

Mr. Brian H. Newton P.Geo has developed and is carrying out the exploration on this property.  Mr. Newton P.Geo is  “qualified person” pursuant to the definition found in National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this press release.
