Renforth Resources (CSE:RFR) has returned further gold results from surface channel sampling within the open-pit footprint of its wholly owned Parbec gold deposit in Québec, Canada.
The latest assays include 1.70m @ 2.93 grams per tonne gold (Au), including 0.50m @ 6.20g/t Au, from channel CHNL-PAR-26-59, the highest-grade intersection among the newly reported results.
Channel CHNL-PAR-26-60 returned 5.70m @ 0.55g/t Au, the longest mineralised interval among the new channels. Extensions to the previously sampled CHNL-PAR-26-51 also established a 12.95m interval @ 2.66g/t Au, the longest in the overall program.
All four newly reported channels, along with extensions to CHNL-PAR-26-51, returned gold values. The reported intervals represent surface channel lengths rather than true widths.
CEO Nicole Brewster describes the mineralisation as “unanticipated surface gold in an accessible location more than 50m removed from the rail line at Parbec”.
Renforth says it plans additional channel sampling and will seek stripping permits to investigate further areas within the proposed open-pit footprint.
The company also awaits assays from two drill holes completed in August, one of which contained four flecks of visible gold. Renforth has previously cautioned that the observation is not indicative of grade.
Renforth Resources is a Canadian junior explorer that also owns the Victoria Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Zinc Project in Québec. Parbec lies beside the Canadian Malartic complex operated by Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM).
