Renforth Resources Inc. Expands Fieldwork at Parbec Gold Deposit Amid Promising Structural Insights

Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR, OTC: RFHRF, FSE: 9RR) announced on 26 February 2026 that it has extended its fieldwork at the Parbec Gold Deposit near Malartic, Quebec, and is moving forward with a comprehensive stripping operation. The company’s latest progress report, issued through multiple outlets—including Stockwatch, The News Wire, and the Canadian Securities Exchange website—highlights a series of geological breakthroughs that could redefine the project’s resource potential.

Full‑Scale Chipping and Stripping

Renforth has completed the initial phase of chipping and plans to finish the remaining chipping within 1½ to 2 weeks. The entire 325 m × 120 m permitted area will be cleared, setting the stage for early stripping of the overburden. Once stripping is underway, the company will initiate outcrop cleaning and channel sampling in April, a critical step toward obtaining a bulk sample that will quantify gold distribution at depth.

Structural Modelling Drives Confidence

A new interpretation of drilling data, presented in plan view, has revealed a repeating pattern of east‑west shear zones that cut through the Cadillac Fault zone and the Pontiac contact. These crosscutting shears form a conjugated network of mineralized zones linked to the regional North‑West trending fault system. The structural model now better defines the spatial extent of mineralization within the porphyritic intermediate dyke swarms.

Key findings from the plan‑view interpretation include:

  • Continuous Gold Mineralization: Confirmed from surface to ~250 m depth, with two ~400 m mineralized lenses separated by an oblique structural zone. The repetition of this pattern suggests additional lenses may exist laterally and at depth.
  • Depth‑Dependent Drill Spacing: While drill spacing increases below 250 m (up to 200 m in some sections), gold remains intersected even in sparsely drilled areas, indicating a robust and widespread mineralized system.
  • Exploration Targets: The northern contact, marked by a lensy mylonitized structure with oblique shears, remains a viable target. Likewise, the Pontiac contact with the volcanic Piché Group could host vein systems that have already shown surface mineralization.

Implications for Resource Estimation

Renforth’s decision to complete the permitted chipping and begin stripping is anchored in last year’s success at exposing the Diorite Splay/hinge fold intersecting the Cadillac Break. Higher gold grades have been associated with this structural intersection, and the company notes that gold mineralization persists even where the hinge structure attenuates. These observations suggest a broader, potentially high‑grade mineralized system that could be fully exposed in the stripped area.

The planned bulk sampling—aligned with the latest geological insights—will provide the quantitative data needed to refine the resource model. If the bulk sample confirms the continuity and grade of the identified lenses, Renforth could dramatically improve its resource estimates and attract greater investor interest.

Market Context

Despite the company’s technical gains, Renforth’s share price remains extremely low, trading at CAD 0.025 on 23 February 2026, with a market capitalization of just CAD 10.56 million. The 52‑week high of CAD 0.035 and low of CAD 0.005 illustrate the volatility that can accompany junior exploration ventures. Nevertheless, the current fieldwork expansion and detailed structural modeling provide a tangible foundation for future upside.

Looking Ahead

Renforth Resources Inc. will continue to monitor progress at the Parbec Gold Deposit while preparing for the forthcoming bulk sample. The company also maintains momentum on its Victoria Critical Minerals Project, having secured a forestry permit and awaiting the ATI permit for the next drilling program. Participation in the PDAC 2026 conference and a scheduled booth (#2136) in Pickering, Ontario, will offer further opportunities to showcase these developments to the wider mining community.

In sum, Renforth’s recent operational strides and geological interpretations signal a pivotal moment for the Parbec Gold Deposit. If the forthcoming bulk sample validates the extended mineralized zones, the company could transition from a low‑priced junior miner to a compelling exploration asset with significant upside potential.
