[{"type":"text","content":" PICKERING, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2020 / Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR) (OTC PINK:RFHRF) (WKN:A2H9TN) (\"Renforth\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to inform shareholders that Renforth's wholly owned Surimeau Project has been interpreted to host a large scale sulphide nickel/PGE system associated with ultramafic rocks and, at the same time, a VMS system. Evident in regional mapping are two trends, the south and the north, comprised of well-defined volcanic \"slivers\" composed of interlayered sequences of mafic to felsic volcanics and possibly tuffs injected by ultramafic sills. In the south this system is interpreted as striking for ~20kms, in the north it is interpreted to strike for ~30kms, with the thickness seen on surface varying between 0.5 and 1.5 kms. Renforth has assembled a team for this project consisting of six geologists, experienced and expert in field work in the local environment, VMS system identification and development and nickel exploration. This brings together approximately 175 years of worldwide experience in order to determine the nature and extent of the unique Surimeau mineralized occurrences. Our team observed in field work and thin section study that the volcano-sedimentary assemblage with its intrusive component shows a strong deformation overprint. All rocks are well laminated, locally sheared and tectonically brecciated. When present, sulfides are remobilized into open structures. Field observations and geophysical interpretations support the concept of a previously unmapped regional structure. Hydrothermal alteration and metamorphism have obliterated the original lithological characteristics. Current petrographic and geochemical studies will provide further insight into the sequence of events and origin of the fertile rock sequence. At an early stage, calc-silicates, albite rich and peraluminous alteration were clearly identified within and around mineralized areas. VMS occurrences intercalated with nickel bearing parallel ultramafic sills are the primary mineralization types observed on the property with historic drillhole Zn-Cu-Ni values as high as 4.9% Zn, 0.3% Cu, 0.3% Ni and 0.03% Co. Historic drillhole records cannot be verified, however, Renforth considers them indicative of potential. Historical records illustrate kilometric nickel halos covering large portions of the volcanic...
