- Results include high-definition recognition of mineralization in the drill core submitted, showing sulphide mineralization and mineralized inclusions in waste rock.
- TOMRA’s X-ray transmission technology separates material based on atomic density and has an impressive track record.
- By removing waste rock early in the processing cycle, Renforth expects to reduce the amount of material processed.
Renforth Resources (CSE: RFR) (OTCQB: RFHRF) has released key information regarding an initial test of materials from the company’s Quebec-based Victoria critical minerals polymetallic system. According to the company’s latest shareholder update, the test has been successfully completed at the TOMRA Mining Test Centre in Wedel, Germany (https://ibn.fm/UVfay).
“Results include high-definition recognition of mineralization in the drill core submitted, showing sulphide mineralization and mineralized inclusions in waste rock,” reported Renforth, an active mineral exploration company engaged in exploring and developing multicommodity mineral properties in Canada. “The recognition of waste rock and the detection of an EM signal of conductivity from the mineralized particles allows additional separation potential.”
Renforth chose TOMRA’s X-ray transmission technology to conduct the testing; the tech separates material based on atomic density and has an impressive track record, with numerous customer success stories (https://ibn.fm/SFlnI). In addition, the technology is currently in use at Quebec’s Renard diamond mine.
“At Renard, X-ray transmission is utilized in their recovery circuit, a proven application of the same technology, which has been successful with Victoria’s mineralization,” Renforth noted in its shareholder report. “Renforth’s nonexecutive director, John Webster, has successfully tested and implemented TOMRA technology in Russia, the UK, and Australia, and is currently testing ores from Saudi Arabia, recognizing the transformative impact it could have at Victoria.”
Company officials noted that proving that mineralized and nonmineralized material from its Victoria location can be sorted provides Renforth with “a way to streamline future operations, reducing costs and the environmental impact of a future operating scenario by implementing pre-concentration.
“By removing waste rock early in the processing cycle, Renforth expects to reduce the amount of material processed, which will be at a higher grade than ROM material, resulting in lower Capex and cost in building out the processing capacity,” the company continued. “Sorting also means a significant reduction of the project’s environmental impact, with less electricity required, less water used and a reduction in the chemicals required to liberate the metal contained within Victoria’s polymetallic material by processing less material.”
The shareholder report also pointed out that notable reductions in material being processed results in a significant reduction in the size of the tailing’s facility as well as associated environmental costs.
According to the announcement, Renforth plans to continue the testing process by obtaining a much larger sample. After crushing and screening it, the company will ship the sample to TOMRA for performance testing designed to evaluate and analyze separation performance and process, as well as establish the expected sorter performance and throughput and an eventual process flow sheet.
Renforth is a battery metals area player with the dominant brownfield land position south of the world-class Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault in the prolific Cadillac and Malartic mining camps of Quebec’s Abitibi. Offering exposure to gold, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and more, including lithium, Renforth’s land position encompasses several areas of interest.
Renforth’s position is unique in that both the battery metals mineralization within the Malartic Metals Package (“MMP”) and its gold deposit at Parbec are road accessible, with hydro power crossing the property, in an established and secure mining jurisdiction, which regularly ranks as top 10 in the world (as determined by the Fraser Institute).
