Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR) has identified a number of new targets with its rare element exploration programme at Surimeau in Quebec, Canada.
Renforth conducted grab sampling and mapping on the Surimeau Property May to July 2022. A total of 229 samples were described and sent for assay.
This mapping and sampling programme focused on the southern part of the Surimeau property along the metasedimentary and Decelles Reservoir Batholith contact. Eleven Anomalies (A to K) were identified based on elevated Li, Rb, Cs, Be, Nb, Ta and Sn contents within the assayed samples.
In addition, a review of MERN’s outcrop mapping was undertaken, focused on the northern metasedimentary-Decelles Reservoir Batholith contact area from Vision’s Cadillac spodumene pegmatites, along the contact to the southeast edge of the Surimeau property.
Of the 11 rare-element anomalies identified, Anomaly clusters A and D have the most potential to host lithium mineralization and are recommended for stripping.
- Anomaly Cluster A has a 150 m strike length trending northwest-southeast with increasing Li, Be, Nb and Ta contents increasing from the NW to SE based on 11 assayed grab samples collected by Renforth. The pegmatitic granite samples are enriched in rare-elements and contain coarse-grained muscovite and tourmaline clots which are indicator minerals for lithium pegmatites. Anomaly A is located within metasedimentary rocks about 0.5km north of the contact with the Decelles Reservoir Batholith. The NW-SE trend of Anomaly A is the same orientation as Vision Lithium’s Cadillac spodumene dykes.
- Anomaly Cluster D has a 440m strike length trending east-west. The pegmatitic granites enriched in Rb, Be, Nb and Ta consistently contain coarse-grained muscovite based on 8 assayed grab samples collected by Renforth. The rare-element enrichment and the presence of coarse-grained muscovite are indicators for lithium pegmatites. Cluster D plots within the Decelles Reservoir Batholith which is the same setting as Vision Lithium’s Cadillac spodumene pegmatites.
Based on a review of Renforth and MERN sampling data sets, three exploration targets have been highlighted on the property:
Follow up recommendations include stripping two of the Anomaly Clusters A and D and exploring unexplored target areas on the property.
“This report, authored by rare element pegmatite experts, demonstrates that there is lithium potential at Surimeau, which we will explore. Lithium is another facet to Surimeau, adding to our ~29km of magnetic structures bearing nickel polymetallic mineralization and our copper discovery in the north of the ~330sq. km property. We look forward to learning more about lithium on our property with our work this summer,” CEO, Nicole Brewster, said.
Renforth will have a field crew deployed in early June to commence prospecting and mapping both the 11 identified anomalies and the unexplored target area pegmatites.
