And there’s a big, um, ultra mafic that joined the two together, which has also given us mineralization. So, we really do have a bulk tonnage scenario growing. <\/p>\n
00:15 Interviewer <\/p>\n
All right, welcome back inside our Proactive news room. And joining me now is Nicole Brewster. She’s the CEO of Renforth Resources. And Nicole, it’s great to see you again. How are you? <\/p>\n
00:27 Nicole Brewster <\/p>\n
I’m good. Thanks very much. Thanks for having me. <\/p>\n
00:31 Interviewer <\/p>\n
Yeah, lots of news out from the company to talk about. First off, you should talk about today’s news because it is significant. Uh you’ve uh shared uh three holes from the Victoria project and these are really interesting because of of what these three holes were designed to do. So maybe let’s start there. <\/p>\n
00:46 Nicole Brewster <\/p>\n
Right. So those are the first drill holes we’ve executed since we declared the resource last fall, which was the initial inferred resource, which we did with only 10,000 meters of drilling. Simply because I thought we might have some critical minerals market coming and uh wanted to prove it was real. So those three holes fundamentally were undercuts. Um they both go outside of the pit uh walls which accompanied the resource. And the idea was does it continue down dip? I mean, it’s a greenfield property. These are questions. So we asked the question, we got the answer, yes, mineralization continues down dip under the existing resource uh pit shell. <\/p>\n
01:21 Interviewer <\/p>\n
Yeah, you talked about the the small portion of of the project that that resource had covered and there is a a so much more to look at. So how do you sort of uh uh attack it? Is it is it stuff like this to make sure you’re heading in the right direction? Is that is that the concept? <\/p>\n
01:43 Nicole Brewster <\/p>\n
Sort of. Um we’re actually we’re we’re positioning, we’re working to position Victoria as a bulk tonnage critical minerals resource. Um it’s important to look at Victoria as a polymetallic resource. So it’s not it’s literally not riding on any one metal at the moment. and we have to do we have to you know, find more of the ultra and the VMS. Um but you’re correct. We’ve drilled off 12% of a 20 km long mineralized structure. We have some of our own drilling in the western end, which was placed before we had some detailed interp, so we would arguably redo that drilling though it did give us mineralization. And there’s historic work in the very eastern end. So we between our own work, historic, that full 20 kilometers is mineralized, the expectation is it’ll be mineralized to different tenors as you move along the 20 kilometers. and are we in the right spot where we worked for two and a half kilometers, we don’t know. Literally. We started at the road and we went west two and a half kilometers. So question mark still. and um but it’s big. I mean Victoria is 20 kilometers, Land is the sister to the north. Um arguably is big and there’s a big um ultra mafic that joined the two together, which has also given us mineralization. So we really do have a bulk tonnage scenario growing. <\/p>\n
03:00 Interviewer <\/p>\n
Yeah. So just next steps on this now? I know that um you know, these three holes were done and you and you’ve got that back, but are you looking at more work in the near future? <\/p>\n
03:10 Nicole Brewster <\/p>\n
Oh yeah, next steps right now we’re we need to permit more drilling, um which we’re going to undertake. We’re also looking at some surface um some surface uh work to determine overburden lengths or with depths. Whoa, overburden depths. Um it’s between zero and three meters where we’ve been working. Um to the west, the ground is high, to the east, the ground gets low, but the ground getting low may or may not mean anything because there’s a history in the Abitibi of flat surfaces with very thin cover. So we’re going to do some prospecting is probably the best way to put it on the on the deposit and move out along strike. We’ll also plan continued undercuts, but I think at this point my interest is more in stepping out. Um I have to have a conversation with the QP as to what his tolerance is for step outs so that we can make sure they can go into a future resource update. <\/p>\n
04:09 Interviewer <\/p>\n
Okay, makes a lot of sense. Um I did want to ask you while we have you here about a a news release you had out recently about a a combination you’re doing a collaboration, let’s say, between yourselves and Queens University and and this is kind of an interesting one because it it plays into as you mentioned, the type of project that you’re hoping to have here. <\/p>\n
04:36 Nicole Brewster <\/p>\n
Yeah, and that was it was important to get that news out first, um ahead of today’s press release because it is referenced in today’s press release and that’s a collaboration with Queen’s University in Ontario and Dr. Wang and it’s um selective it’s a it’s a leech technology he invented with a co-inventor. Um and it’s uh selective recovery of critical minerals with the uh carbonation at the same time. So the removal of carbon from the atmosphere. It’s very interesting technology. Um it would be very applicable at Victoria, both because it’s low energy and Victoria is a huge scale. Now, you can’t forget the other two academic type things we’ve done at Victoria. We’ve done the initial work with Tomra in Germany to prove that the mineralization can be separated using their technology, which is an XRF technology. Of course, there’s other separation technology we might choose to apply. But Tomra’s XRF technology works. The other uh thing we’ve done that needs to be, you know, remembered is initial work with ALS which demonstrated that the mineralization would be amenable to conventional grind flotation technology. However, personally speaking, I’m far more interested in the heap leech because of the low energy characteristics of the heap leech and it’ll bring all the metals out in solution and if you need to go from solution to another, you know, stage of metal you can. But um so yeah, we’ve started the work with Queens to check uh Dr. Wang’s approach. So stay tuned. <\/p>\n
05:07 Interviewer <\/p>\n
Yeah, we’ll look forward to hearing more about it for sure. Nicole, thanks so much. Really great update as as always and I appreciate your time. Thank you. <\/p>\n
