Renforth Resources Confirms 363,000 Ounces of Gold Beside Canada’s Largest Gold Mine

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 12:25 PM on Thursday, April 17th, 2025

A Major Step Forward for a Junior Explorer With Proven Vision

In a landscape where small-cap mining companies often struggle to produce meaningful results, Renforth Resources (CSE: RFR | OTC: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) has just delivered a development that could significantly shift its standing in the gold sector.

In an exclusive interview, CEO Nicole Brewster confirmed a 29% increase in the gold resource at the company’s flagship Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec. This brings the total to 363,000 ounces of gold, of which 265,000 ounces are now classified as Measured and Indicated—a substantial upgrade in confidence and quality. Notably, 12% of the total ounces are in the Measured category, and 87% of the ounces are within a Whittle pit shell, underscoring the deposit’s open-pit viability and potential economic value.

All of this is happening next door to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, one of the largest and most productive gold operations in the country.

Why This Matters: Grade, Location, and Optionality

Renforth’s Parbec project lies on the prolific Cadillac Break, a structure responsible for over 100 million ounces of historical gold production in Canada. Yet Parbec is no mere geological curiosity. It is:

  • Surface-exposed and fully road-accessible;
  • Situated beside Canada’s largest open-pit gold mine;
  • Host to infrastructure including a historic underground ramp;
  • Surrounded by multiple toll-milling facilities operated by Agnico Eagle and other major producers;
  • And now, significantly de-risked with its enhanced resource classification.

This strategic location puts Renforth in a rare position to benefit from regional processing demand.

“With this update, 73% of Parbec’s ounces are now in the Measured and Indicated categories,” said Brewster. “We consider Parbec a small-scale replica of Canadian Malartic — same geology, same break, similar surface profile.”

Flexible Pathways to Monetization

Renforth is not committing to a single development path. Instead, it is evaluating a range of monetization options:

  • Sale: Parbec’s location, ounces, and infrastructure make it an ideal bolt-on asset for a producer like Agnico Eagle, whose “fill-the-mill” strategy is now in full swing following acquisitions like the Marban project.
  • Joint Venture: Brewster confirmed the company has received partnership inquiries and could benefit from joint development.
  • Toll Milling / Bulk Sampling: If desired, Renforth could begin small-scale production through existing infrastructure, with low capex and minimal environmental footprint.

Further exploration could still add additional ounces, especially in areas beneath the current pit model and into the Pontiac sediments, where new gold-bearing structures have already been identified.

Macro Tailwinds: Gold’s Rise Aligns With Renforth’s Momentum

The timing of this update couldn’t be more strategic. Gold is trading above $3,200 USD per ounce, and many experts, including Brewster, expect it to remain above $3,000 throughout 2025, driven by central bank buying, geopolitical instability, and inflationary concerns.

Renforth’s latest resource estimate was calculated at $2,100 USD per ounce, suggesting further upside potential if gold prices hold or increase.

Internally, the company has already run sensitivity analyses using higher gold prices, which indicate more ounces could be captured in future updates.

The Bigger Picture: Strategic Fit in a Global Mining Corridor

Renforth’s Parbec project aligns neatly with a growing global emphasis on resource security and domestic development. With Canada reaffirming its role as a stable jurisdiction for mining, and gold once again capturing investor attention, Renforth has a credible, scalable project in a tier-one location.

Add in the exploration upside, established infrastructure, and multiple monetization options, and the result is a company with more than just potential — it has momentum.

Final Thoughts

In an industry where many juniors struggle to translate drill results into real-world opportunity, Renforth Resources has delivered what few others have: a tangible, credible, and increasingly valuable gold asset in one of the world’s most prolific mining jurisdictions.

The 363,000-ounce Parbec resource — 87% of it in an open-pit shell and 265,000 ounces in Measured and Indicated — isn’t just a milestone. It’s a statement.

And as Brewster concluded: “We’re in no rush. Time is on our side — and so is gold.”

This Small Cap Gold Company Announced 363,000 Ounces As Gold Sets Record Prices

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 4:38 PM on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025

In this interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster discusses the company’s newly updated 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec — a move that significantly strengthens the company’s value proposition at a time when gold prices continue to surge. The updated estimate now totals 363,000 ounces of gold, marking a 29% increase over the previous figure and signaling growing maturity and confidence in the deposit. Notably, 265,000 ounces are now categorized as Measured and Indicated, and 87% of the total resource sits within an open pit — directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, one of Canada’s largest gold operations.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS: Open Pit Advantage: With mineralization starting at surface and a pit depth of 300 meters, Parbec’s economics are compelling, especially with nearby toll milling options. Strategic Fit for Agnico: The project’s location beside Canadian Malartic and proximity to multiple mills makes it a potential solution for Agnico Eagle’s “fill-the-mill” strategy — especially amid $5.6B in M&A activity in the district.

Clear Monetization Path: CEO Nicole Brewster outlines a three-path strategy: sale, joint venture, or self-development, including a plan to initiate stripping and bulk sampling this summer for potential cash flow.

A COMPELLING QUOTE FROM THE CEO “We are very happy to deliver this significant size increase to our open pit gold deposit next door to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic mine… With this MRE, 87% of the gold ounces within the resource estimate are contained within the accompanying open pit.” — Nicole Brewster, CEO

WHY INVESTORS SHOULD WATCH THIS INTERVIEW Renforth has done what many small caps struggle to achieve: increase its resource size while also upgrading confidence categories — all while controlling costs and maintaining 100% ownership in one of the world’s top-ranked mining jurisdictions. With strategic positioning next to Canada’s mining giant, viable paths to monetization, and growing relevance in a high-gold-price environment, Parbec is moving from potential to probability.

This interview isn’t just an update — it’s a real-time look into how Renforth is strategically unlocking value from its assets and evaluating serious next steps. Watch the full interview now to understand why Renforth could be a key player in Quebec’s next wave of gold development.

280,000 Ounces of Gold, Major Critical Minerals & Near $5.5B in M&A: Renforth’s Moment Is Here

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 12:48 PM on Thursday, April 3rd, 2025

Renforth Resources: Positioned for Gold and Critical Mineral Success in Quebec

In a compelling new interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster laid out a clear and convincing case for why this Canadian junior exploration company is exceptionally well-positioned amid record gold prices and rising global demand for critical minerals. With flagship assets in Quebec’s world-renowned Abitibi mining district, Renforth is advancing both its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit and the massive Malartic Metals Package — a combined landholding that sits in one of the richest and most active mining corridors in North America.

Strategic Location Beside Mining Giants

Renforth’s Parbec Gold Project is situated directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle’s Canadian Malartic Mine, the country’s largest open-pit gold mine. The deposit already contains 280,000 ounces of gold (101,000 oz indicated, 177,000 oz inferred), with a new NI 43-101 resource estimate expected soon. This update will include 15,000 metres of additional drilling and could significantly increase the gold resource, especially with current gold prices near C$4,500/oz.

The Parbec project benefits from exceptional infrastructure: direct road access, two hydroelectric lines crossing the property, nearby toll milling facilities, and close proximity to the Glencore-owned Horn Smelter. As Brewster puts it, “It can’t get cheaper than this — the economics of development in this region are simply unbeatable.”

Malartic Metals Package: A Critical Mineral Powerhouse

Located just north of Parbec, the 300 km² Malartic Metals Package hosts the emerging 20-kilometre-long Victoria nickel-sulphide polymetallic structure. Recent metallurgical results show that the mineralization — which includes nickel, zinc, copper, cobalt, and silver — is hosted in conventional sulphide minerals, indicating potential for standard, cost-effective processing.

Initial mineralogical analysis and TOMRA sorting tests demonstrate strong early signs of recoverability and grade optimization. Brewster also confirmed that Renforth is working with SGS to determine whether its current drilling supports a maiden resource — an important step toward unlocking value in this new discovery.

In the Midst of $5.6 Billion in M&A

Renforth is surrounded by major mining players. Agnico Eagle has spent billions acquiring and consolidating deposits across the Abitibi in recent years, including the Yamana and O3 Mining deals. Parbec sits right in the middle of this activity, offering both strategic value and expansion potential to any nearby operator looking to sustain mill throughput or grow their regional footprint.

“This is a proven gold deposit, sitting beside a mine that’s going underground and needs more ore. The strategic value is obvious,” Brewster stated.

Quebec Advantage: Cost, Policy, and Market Access

Renforth’s position in Quebec provides significant advantages beyond geology. The province is routinely ranked as a top-tier mining jurisdiction globally, and the Quebec government recently introduced new stimulus programs specifically aimed at accelerating critical mineral exploration. With access to hydroelectric power, deepwater ports, rail lines, and North America’s battery manufacturing corridor, Renforth’s assets are ideally situated to capitalize on emerging resource trends.

Conclusion: Value Waiting to Be Realized

Despite world-class assets, infrastructure, and jurisdictional advantages, Brewster noted that capital has been hard to come by for juniors — and that Renforth has instead prioritized drilling and science over promotional spending. “We’ve outlined real metals in the ground that aren’t going anywhere. What we’re building is real,” she said.

With a new gold resource estimate imminent, growing strategic relevance in the critical minerals space, and near-term catalysts ahead, Renforth Resources appears to be an underappreciated player in a district that continues to deliver major value.

For those seeking exposure to gold and critical minerals in one of the most mining-friendly regions in the world, Renforth may be one to watch.

Gold prices have recently reached new record highs, continuing an impressive upward trajectory that began during Donald Trump’s presidency. Since January 20, the precious metal has gained approximately 15%, marking a significant rally that has caught the attention of investors worldwide.

In 2024 alone, gold prices surged by 27%, and the first few months of 2025 have already seen an additional 19% increase. This remarkable climb follows Trump’s announcement of new trade tariffs, which set the stage for economic uncertainty. While many had expected targeted tariffs on certain countries, Trump surprised markets by declaring that his reciprocal tariffs would apply to “all countries,” including a 25% tariff on auto imports.

The intensifying trade tensions and global economic unpredictability have led many investors to seek refuge in safe-haven assets like gold. With the uncertainty surrounding international trade and the broader financial markets, gold has become a go-to investment for those looking to hedge against volatility.

As the price of gold continues to soar, several exploration companies are well-positioned to benefit from this upward trend. These companies are actively exploring for gold in key regions around the world, further solidifying their place in this growing market.
