Sudbury researcher Dr. Nadia Mykytczuk has been tapped to provide her expertise in mine remediation at a battery metals exploration property in Québec.
Mykytczuk has been named technical advisor on the Surimeau Battery Metals Project project owned by Renforth Resources Inc.
Her focus will be on the “research and development of responsible and sustainable technology and practices for the processing of mineralized material at Surimeau in the future,” according to the company.
Nicole Brewster, Renforth’s president and CEO, said while it’s “risky” for a junior mining company to undertake R&D without a mineral resource statement yet in place, doing the work now will be beneficial in the long run.
Renforth said it expects the R&D and geological timelines “will converge at some point in the future.”
“I am very happy that Renforth will have the privilege of directly working with Dr. Mykytczuk as we take inspiration from operating mines in Europe and work to implement it in Canada, for the first time, and work towards producing battery chemistry, in Québec, a province which is supportive of mining in general, and critical minerals in particular,” Brewster said in a news release.
