Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:
$RFR.CSE | OTC: RFHRF) has launched a research collaboration with Queen’s University’s Robert M. Buchan Department of Mining to evaluate a hydrometallurgical process for recovering critical metals from its wholly owned Victoria nickel sulphide polymetallic deposit near Malartic, Québec, while sequestering carbon dioxide. Testwork has commenced, and results will be reported as they become available.
Renforth Resources Inc. is a B2i Digital Featured Company. See the company’s in-depth profile at: https://b2idigital.com/renforth-resources-1
The program applies a patent-pending process developed by Dr. Fei Wang of Queen’s and co-inventor Dr. David Dreisinger to Victoria material:
• Bench-scale and column leach testing, with coarse-material columns simulating heap leaching
• Designed to selectively recover nickel and cobalt, including nickel held in pyrrhotite, plus copper and zinc, directly from low-grade sulphide material
• Magnesium- and iron-bearing minerals in Victoria’s ultramafic host rock converted to stable carbonates, capturing CO₂ from air as part of the process
• A techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment
Regarding the collaboration, Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth, stated: “Victoria is a large, multi-metal deposit, and understanding how best to recover each of those metals is the key question for its future. Dr. Wang’s process goes straight at one of the more challenging parts of that question, the nickel held in pyrrhotite, and does it while locking away carbon.”

Victoria hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 125 Mt containing 331 Mlb nickel, 220 Mlb zinc, 55 Mlb copper, 28 Mlb cobalt and 1.53 Moz silver (P&E Mining Consultants Inc., effective September 26, 2025). Earlier mineralogical work showed that a portion of Victoria’s nickel is carried in pyrrhotite, a form conventional flotation typically does not recover, which is the material the Queen’s process is designed to leach directly. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability, and all resources at Victoria are classified as Inferred.
The process is the subject of patent applications by Dr. Wang and Dr. Dreisinger, and Renforth and Queen’s University are finalizing a research agreement that addresses intellectual property arising from the collaboration. Technical information in the release relating to the Victoria deposit was reviewed and approved by Francis Newton, P.Geo. OGQ, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
