Renforth Resources Inc. announce that drill mobilization is currently underway for the first follow-up diamond drilling campaign at its 100%-owned Victoria Nickel-Copper-Cobalt polymetallic deposit. The deposit is situated within the expansive Malartic Metals Package (formerly known as the Surimeau property) in the Abitibi region of southern Quebec.
As of this release, the drill rig is being actively moved to the first designated drill pad to test key targets.
Key Highlights of the Victoria Structure & Malartic Metals Package:
- Infrastructure Advantage: Larger than Manhattan Island, the Malartic Metals Package is strategically crossed by established roads and low-cost hydroelectric power lines. The property features no resident population and no significant bodies of water, drastically simplifying permitting and access.
- Premier Mining Jurisdiction: Located in a world-class gold camp between Rouyn and Val d’Or, the property sits contiguous to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine property, with the Victoria deposit located approximately 19 km south of their LaRonde Mine.
- Massive Scale, Minimal Drilling: The initial inferred open-pit Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), published in September 2025, covers only 2.5 km of the 20 km long regional Victoria structure (and its parallel sister structure, Lalonde). This initial resource was defined using just 10,000 meters of drilling.
Optimized Project Economics & Metal Sorting
The Victoria deposit exhibits unique structural characteristics that position it favorably for future development:
- Low Strip Ratio: Mineralization comes directly to surface in multiple locations. The modeled open pit points to a highly favorable strip ratio of less than 1:1, meaning less than one tonne of waste rock needs to be moved to access one tonne of mineralized material.
- Ore Sorting Potential: Initial metallurgical testing has confirmed positive characteristics for ore sorting technology. By removing barren waste rock prior to downstream milling, the Company can effectively upgrade the processed grade, lower operational inputs, reduce environmental waste, and decrease overall costs.
- Untapped Precious Metals Upside: Recent post-MRE evaluation has proven that Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd) are consistently present in small but economically meaningful quantities within the ultramafic host rock (Ni-Co-Pt-Pd).
- VMS Target Exploration: While the ultramafic system is highly magnetic, the project also features a parallel, non-magnetic graphitic Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) body. Future exploration will actively track this VMS system, which hosts the Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Silver (Ag), and Gold (Au) anomalies previously observed on the property.
Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth, comments:
“Victoria is entirely unique in Canada—we are looking at two distinct mineralized bodies occurring in the same space, interlayered, and already traced over 2.5 km within a massive 20 km structure. For a micro-cap exploration junior, the scale of what we are building for our shareholders is simply huge. Our resource can only grow and improve from here as we systematically apply the drill bit. We are just getting started.”
Gold Project Update
In addition to the polymetallic campaign, Renforth maintains its Parbec gold deposit in close proximity. Fieldwork has been completed, and the Company is currently awaiting laboratory assay results. These will be compiled and released to the market as soon as they are received and verified.
