[{"type":"text","content":"PICKERING, Ontario – TheNewswire - March 27, 2025 -- Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR) (OTC: RFHRF) (FSE: 9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”), would like to update shareholders on positive results from our recently completed mineralogical characterization work on representative core samples taken from within the 2.5km drilled strike of our ~20km long Victoria nickel sulphide polymetallic structure on our wholly owned, approximately 300km², Malartic Metals Package near Malartic, Quebec. Renforth conducted a comprehensive mineralogical assessment on a set of 18 samples, selected from the west, central and east portions of the 2.5km drilled area. Samples selected of the ultramafic, the calc-silicate and the graphitic mudstone were selected from each area for lithological representation in order to characterize the general rock type, as opposed to selection based upon grade, or study based upon grade. These samples were retrieved from our secure core storage and sealed and securely transported to the facilities of ALS where they underwent a mineralogical assessment with an emphasis on the elemental deportment of copper, nickel, zinc and sulfur within their respective minerals. Findings of this initial test work include: 1 - The 18 samples assayed between 0.01 to 0.16% copper, where 90-100% of the copper contained in the samples was in chalcopyrite, with the balance in bornite 2- The 18 samples assayed between 0.03 to 0.27% nickel, where 2-98% of the nickel was mostly contained in pentlandite and violarite. Most of the remaining nickel in these samples was in solid solution form in pyrrhotite and pyrite. In samples containing over 0.1% nickel, over half of the nickel content was present in nickel-sulphide minerals . 3 – Zinc grades varied widely for the 18 samples, between 0.01 to 1.5% zinc. Samples higher in copper were generally also higher in zinc. Zinc grading over 0.1% was contained entirely in sphalerite, lower grade samples contained zinc in chromite and steel. 4 - The 18 samples measured between 0.3 to 8.7% sulfur. 60-95% of this sulfur was present as pyrrhotite, a smaller fraction present as pyrite and the remainder was distributed among nickel sulphides, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and molybdenite. 5 - A comparison of copper and nickel sulphides demonstrates that some samples were rich in copper and zinc su...
