Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR) has released positive surface channel sampling results from its Parbec gold deposit in Malartic, Quebec. The campaign, which focused on the open-pit footprint identified in the company’s April 2025 mineral resource estimate, utilized stripping and channel cutting to test various lithologies. Of the eight channels completed, five returned gold assay values exceeding the 0.27 g/t gold cut-off grade established in the current resource model.

The highlight results include Channel 51, which returned 2.97 g/t gold over 10.2 meters, and Channel 58, which yielded 8.02 g/t gold over 2.55 meters, including a higher-grade intercept of 28.77 g/t gold over 0.6 meters. While Renforth has historically focused on gold, these samples were also assayed for silver using photon analysis. The company noted that silver currently acts as an accessory mineral at the site, with the primary value driven by gold. These results remain unconstrained, as both highlight channels ended in mineralization.

"I am pleased to have demonstrated the presence of previously unknown gold mineralization on surface within the open pit footprint of our MRE for the Parbec gold deposit. Generally speaking, I, and our entire technical team, are impressed with the results of this stripping and channel sampling campaign. I commenced this program in late fall 2025 with an idea. As happens in what is exploration, albeit the exploration of an established gold deposit, gambling on doing the unconventional can pay off, and here stripping has paid off for the 3rd time in Renforth’s exploration history. It is a cost-effective way to generate an enormous amount of data, high grade gold beinga part of the dataset is a bonus"

— Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth

Building on these surface findings, the company has initiated a small-scale drill program designed to test the subsurface extent of the mineralization. Drilling is currently targeting undercuts in the vicinity of Channel 51 and Channel 58, located near the Cadillac Break at the eastern end of the stripped area.

Investors can expect further news as the exploration team processes additional data. Results are currently pending for three specific channels—CHNL-PAR-26-59, CHNL-PAR-26-60, and CHNL-PAR-26-61—as well as for several additional samples taken from felsite zones identified during recent mapping. These upcoming results form part of a broader, ongoing effort to refine the geological understanding of the Parbec deposit through systematic surface and near-surface testing. The company continues to maintain a focus on cost-effective data collection to further define the potential of the property, with technical disclosures reviewed and approved by a qualified person in accordance with industry standards.
