TORONTO, Ontario , Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTC: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased to update shareholders on drill results from its wholly owned Victoria polymetallic nickel deposit in Québec, where 3 drillholes (1,011 m total drilled length) were completed in July 2026 to test the down-dip continuity of mineralization beneath the open pit that constrains the September 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”). All three holes intersected broad intervals of nickel-cobalt mineralization in the ultramafic host, as well as zones of zinc-copper-silver mineralization. SUR-26-58 ended in nickel mineralization at 390 m; the program was constrained by budgeted metres, and mineralization has not been closed off at depth. The results have been provided to P&E Mining Consultants Inc. as the holes were designed to confirm continuity within and immediately below the resource area and did so successfully.
“Victoria is a bulk-tonnage deposit, and we report the lower-grade intervals in full because they are part of that picture,” said Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth. “The current Inferred Mineral Resource of 125 million tonnes has been defined over only about 12% of the roughly 20 km mineralized structure, so the real question for Victoria is how material at this scale can be processed. Initial testing at TOMRA, announced in October 2024, showed that Victoria’s mineralization can be recognized and sorted from waste rock, which would allow lower-grade material to be upgraded before processing. Our March 2025 mineralogical work showed that nickel, copper and zinc can be liberated by flotation, and that part of the nickel is held in pyrrhotite. Our research collaboration with Queen’s University and Dr. Fei Wang is evaluating heap leaching, a process intended for lower-grade material that may also recover that nickel. These holes confirm that mineralization continues below the resource pit and add to the data we need to define a processing route.”*
