Renforth obtains tools to grow Parbec’s resource

Renforth Resources (CSE:RFR) has received assays from six surface grab samples collected during a 2026 stripping program at the Parbec gold deposit in Canada.

One grab sample returned assays exceeding 0.3 grams per tonne, as well as returned 1.56g/t gold. Meanwhile, another grab sample returned 92.6 parts per million (ppm) tungsten and 1.51ppm bismuth with elevated boron.

The tungsten-gold association has now been confirmed across three separate datasets at Parbec.

With stripping and washing complete, Renforth is now advancing to systematic mapping and channel sampling of the stripped ground to better characterise the geometry, continuity, and grade distribution of the exposed mineralisation at Parbec.

Early field observations on the ground, drone imagery, and aerial photography support Renforth’s hypothesis of structures perpendicular to the Cadillac Break, providing additional support to the company’s geological model for Parbec.

CEO Nicole Brewster says the coarse gold in a grab sample from an area that has been systematically developed tells the company the mineralised system is real.

“It’s present at surface and it responds to the same structural and geochemical controls we’ve been tracing in core and channels,” Brewster says.

“The tungsten-gold association appearing consistently across three years of sampling at Parbec is not coincidental — it’s a reproducible orogenic signature.

“We have more work to do now, including more multi-element testing, and with the presence of pathfinders proven at Parbec, we now have more tools to use as we work to grow our gold deposit.”

Renforth Resources is a Canadian junior explorer focused on advancing the Parbec gold deposit in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada.
