Renforth's Victoria Project Shows Promise with Advanced Mineral Sorting Tech
Pickering, Ontario -- October 1, 2024 -- NewsGenie -- Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR) has announced successful initial testing of material from its Victoria critical minerals polymetallic system in Quebec, conducted at the TOMRA Mining Test Centre in Germany. The tests demonstrated high-definition recognition of mineralization in drill core, identifying sulphide mineralization and mineralized inclusions within waste rock. This allows for the potential to separate waste rock early, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
The company plans further testing with a larger sample to assess separation performance, throughput, and develop a process flow sheet. By implementing pre-concentration through sorting, Renforth aims to lower costs, reduce the volume of material processed, and minimize the project's environmental footprint, including reduced electricity and water usage, and chemical requirements. The implementation of XRT and EM sorting technologies significantly reduces the size of the tailings facility and its associated environmental costs.
Renforth emphasizes that this testing supports process development and does not constitute a decision to build a mine, nor a guarantee that a mine will be built. However, it underscores the efficiencies and savings that sorting technologies may offer.
TOMRA's X-ray Transmission technology, used at the Renard diamond mine in Quebec, has demonstrated the use of this technology successfully with Victoria's mineralization. Renforth's non-executive director, John Webster MAusIMM, notes the technology's potential transformative impact, drawing from his experience implementing it in various global locations.
