- The company holds gold and battery mineral resources in Quebec’s mining heartland
- Renforth Resources in July 2024 resumed exploration on its Parbec Gold Deposit, consisting of a surface soil sampling and prospecting campaign

Renforth Resources (CSE: RFR) (OTCQB: RFHRF) is an active mineral exploration company engaged in the exploration and development of the company’s wholly owned multi-commodity mineral properties in Canada. The company owns the Parbec gold deposit on the Cadillac Break in Quebec and is currently exploring the Parbec property to increase the gold resource and identify a location to strip and bulk sample from surface.
In addition, the company holds the Nixon Bartleman gold property in Ontario and is also engaged in developing its wholly owned Malartic Metals Package, Quebec’s newest polymetallic battery minerals district with several areas of mineralization, one of which is the nickel, cobalt, copper and zinc mineralized Victoria structure boasting approximately 20 kilometers of strike with surface mineralization, limited drilling, road access and hydroelectric power.
Renforth is well positioned in the heart of the Abitibi Greenstone belt, which straddles the Canadian Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, on both of the Cadillac-Larder Lake and Destor-Porcupine faults – the two main structures responsible for a belt endowed with more than 300 million ounces of gold (including production, M&I reserves and resources to date), making it one of the world’s most prospective gold regions.
The Canadian Malartic Mine, one of Canada’s largest gold mines, is adjacent to each of Renforth’s brownfield Malartic area properties, the Parbec open pit gold resource and the Malartic Metals Package, which, in addition to several known battery metals mineralized structures, also hosts gold within the Pontiac sediments, a very under-explored geological setting.
The company is headquartered in Pickering, Ontario.
Projects
Parbec Gold Deposit
Renforth’s 100% owned Parbec Gold Deposit contains a gold resource designed with an open pit to capitalize on Parbec’s surface mineralization. An MRE on the project, effective December 2019 and now considered by Renforth to be obsolete, is based upon approximately 28,000 meters of drilling which occurred between 2007 and 2019.
Renforth drilled 15,000 meters of new holes in 2020 and 2021 which were not included in the MRE, but which did extend the mineralization deeper within the MRE. The 2020-21 drilling is considered to have validated an additional 13,000 meters of historic drilling from 1986-93.
The validation occurs as 10% of the historic holes were redrilled, with results comparable to the historic results in terms of geology and gold values. Any future MRE calculated at Parbec will benefit from the inclusion of the new and historic drilling.
In addition to this, Renforth’s current structural interpretation on the location of, and controls on, the gold mineralization at Parbec is materially different than the geological model for the outdated MRE. For the first time, Renforth has mapped the Pontiac contact and interpreted a hinge fold interacting with the Cadillac Break and allowing the movement of gold enriched fluids, with mineralization plunging to the south, into the Pontiac.
It is worth noting that a structural control on the adjacent, and much larger, Canadian Malartic Mine is the Sladen Fault transiting into the Pontiac. Currently, Renforth is testing this interpretation with a soil survey designed to outline an area for stripping and bulk sampling within the Pontiac south of the Cadillac Break.
Malartic Metals Package
Renforth’s wholly owned approximately 300-square-kilometer Malartic Metals Package in Quebec’s mining heartland includes surface mineralization of battery metals nickel, cobalt, copper, zinc and silver in separate structures, as well as a copper/silver discovery and gold mineralization. Lithium is also present in anomalous amounts in the sediments, though the source has not yet been located.
The property was assembled commencing in 2020 by adding claims to Renforth’s existing Malartic West property by map staking. The goal was to acquire historic gold and base metal showings, as well as pronounced magnetic anomalies, joining several of the areas of discrete historic exploration into a district scale property with several areas of interest for battery metals and a greenfield copper/silver discovery. The property benefits from its location in an established mining community, roads on the property, rail just off the property and hydroelectric power lines crossing the property, making logistics simple and the cost to operate quite low.
This is the first time this property has been assembled as it is today and actively explored. A significant portion of the property has never been explored.
Market Overview
The World Gold Council, the industry association for the world’s gold producers, estimated in 2023 the physical financial gold market, which is made up of bars, coins, gold ETFs and central bank reserves, is worth nearly $5 trillion. The council reports that gold mine production adds approximately 3,500 tons of the precious metal to the world’s supply annually, equivalent to about 2% growth.
This historical scarcity and relatively slow production of new supply, as compared to other commodities, is a primary reason gold has retained its value for millennia, according to the council. In August 2024, the market price of gold was approximately $2,435 per ounce.
Management Team
Nicole Brewster is President and CEO of Renforth Resources. During her tenure she has reconstituted the company, developed a maiden mineral resource and sold a gold deposit. She is a native of the Toronto area and has been around the mining business nearly all her life, having been raised by a successful mineral exploration geologist who worked (and is still working) around the world as an entrepreneur and geoscientist.
Ms. Brewster worked summer jobs in various segments of the mining business, which led to her employment as a contractor working in the early days of the digitization of exploration data, 3D modeling and data visualization. After working in the capital markets for a time, she returned to the mineral exploration business as a partner in a successful private firm with several employees.
