PICKERING, Ontario – TheNewswire - October 1, 2024 -- Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR) (OTCQB: RFHRF) (FSE: 9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”), an active mineral exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of multi-commodity mineral properties in Canada, today advises shareholders that an initial test of material from Renforth's Victoria critical minerals polymetallic system in Quebec has been successfully completed at the TOMRA Mining Test Centre in Wedel, Germany. Results include high-definition recognition of mineralization in the drill core submitted, showing sulphide mineralization and mineralized inclusions in waste rock. The recognition of waste rock and the detection of an EM signal of conductivity from the mineralized particles allows additional separation potential.
Renforth will continue the testing process by obtaining a much larger sample, crushing and screening the sample and shipping it to TOMRA for performance testing designed to test separation performance and process, as well as establish the expected sorter performance and throughput, and an eventual process flow sheet.
Why Sort Mineralized and Non-Mineralized Material
This initial proof that material from Victoria can be sorted offers Renforth 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. 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. Significant reductions in material being processed significantly reduces the size of the tailing’s facility and the associated environmental costs.
Sorting is made possible through the application of XRT and EM in combination, using proprietary algorithms custom engineered for Victoria's mineralization style. Readers can see an X-ray sorting machine, similar to what tested Victoria material, in action on TOMRA's site at https://video.tomra.com/tomra-x-ray-technology-sorting along with other information. Renforth cautions the reader that this is early testing that supports developing a process flow sheet. It is not a decision to build a mine nor is it a guarantee a mine will be built, however, the efficiencies and savings that sorting offers will significantly impact that decision.
