Renforth reports gold and silver surface results at Parbec

Renforth Resources said channel sampling at its Parbec gold deposit in Malartic, Quebec, returned gold values above the April 2025 resource cut-off in five of eight channels. The company also started a small drill program near the Cadillac Break and said additional channel assays from the stripped area are pending.

Why it matters: - Renforth’s new surface sampling adds data from inside the open-pit footprint of the Parbec gold deposit. - Five of eight channels returned gold grades above the 0.27 g/t Au cut-off used in the April 2025 mineral resource estimate. - The results may help define additional mineralization near Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic property in Malartic, Quebec.

What happened: - Renforth Resources reported positive channel results from its wholly owned Parbec Gold Deposit. - The Parbec property is contiguous to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine property in Malartic, Quebec. - Renforth cut eight channels ranging from 0.85 metres to 24.5 metres across multiple lithologies in the recently stripped area of the open-pit footprint. - The company said two highlighted channels ended in mineralization and remain unconstrained. - Renforth also said it has begun a small drill program targeting undercuts near Channel 51 and Channel 58, close to the Cadillac Break at the eastern end of the trenched area.

The details: - The April 2025 mineral resource estimate for Parbec used a 0.27 g/t Au cut-off grade and a gold price of US$2,100 in an NSR-based calculation. - Channel results are measured along the surface cut and do not represent true widths. - The true widths of the reported intervals are not known. - Subsurface information for the intervals is not known. - Renforth said several additional small channels were cut in felsite after ground and drone mapping in the stripped area. - Assay results for those samples are still pending. - Renforth said the program was designed to identify previously unknown gold mineralization on surface within the resource footprint. - President and CEO Nicole Brewster said stripping has paid off for the third time in Renforth’s exploration history.

Between the lines: - The company is using surface stripping and channel sampling as a lower-cost way to generate exploration data before or alongside drilling. - Silver is not included in the Parbec resource statement, and Renforth has done almost no silver assaying at the project to date. - Renforth selected photon analysis for gold and silver because silver had already been identified in limited prior multi-assay work and is considered an accessory mineral at Parbec based on current findings and geological setting. - Photon assay can detect gold only above 0.03 g/t and silver only above 1.5 g/t. - Samples were cut, logged, bagged, tagged in the field and then sent to MSA Labs in Val d’Or for CPA-AgAu1 testing. - Technical disclosure was reviewed and approved by Francis R. Newton, P.Geo., a qualified person under NI 43-101.

What's next: - Renforth expects results from the additional small channels cut in felsite. - The company will continue its drill program targeting undercuts near the eastern end of the trenched area. - Renforth said it will keep advancing Parbec as part of its broader Abitibi-region portfolio.

The bottom line: - Renforth is adding surface evidence of gold mineralization at Parbec, and the next set of assay and drill results will show whether the new zones extend beyond the stripped area.
