Renforth’s Surimeau Interpreted to be a Large-Scale Sulphide Nickel System

Renforth’s Surimeau Interpreted to be a Large-Scale Sulphide Nickel System
Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE – RFR) (OTC US– RFHRF) (WKN - A2H9TN) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased
to inform shareholders that Renforth’s wholly owned Surimeau Project has been interpreted to host a large scale
sulphide nickel/PGE system associated with ultramafic rocks and, at the same time , a VMS system. Evident in
regional mapping are two trends, the south and the north, comprised of well-defined volcanic “slivers” composed
of interlayered sequence s of mafic to felsic volcanic s and possibly tuffs injected by ultramafic sills . In the south
this system i s interpreted as striking for ~20kms, in the north it is interpreted to strike for ~30kms, with the
thickness seen on surface varying between 0.5 and 1.5 kms.
Renforth has assembled a team for this project consisting of six geologists, experienced and expert in field work
in the local environment, VMS system identification and development and nickel exploration. This brings together
approximately 175 years of worldwide exper ience in order to determine the nature and extent of the unique
Surimeau mineralized occurrences.
Our team observed in field work and thin section study that the volcano -sedimentary assemblage with its
intrusive component shows a strong deformation overprint. All rocks are well laminated, locally sheared and
tectonically brecciated. When present, sulfides are remobilized in to open structures. Field observ ations and
geophysical interpretations support the concept of a previously unmapped regional structure.
Hydrothermal alteration and metamorphism have obliterated the original lithological characteristics. Current
petrographic and geochemical studies will provide further insight into the sequence of events and origin of the
fertile rock sequence. At an early stage, calc -silicates, albite rich and peraluminous alteration were clearly
identified within and around mineralized areas.
VMS occurrences intercalated with nickel bearing parallel ultramafic sills are the primary mineralization type s
observed on the property with historic drillhole Zn-Cu-Ni values as high as 4.9% Zn, 0.3% Cu, 0.3% Ni and 0.03%
Co. Historic drillhole records cannot be verified, however, Renforth considers them indicative of potential.
Historical records illustrate kilometric nickel halos covering large portions of the volcanic sequence with grades
largely in the range of 0.1 to 0.2%, however, historic surface sampling did record drillhole values as high as 0.503%
in the Victoria area. Renforth’s recent work recorded values as high as 0.49% in a grab sample. Grab samples are
selective by their nature and may not be representative of the property as a wh ole, or any area outside of the
sample itself. While historic work cannot be replicated or relied upon as current Renforth considers historic work
to be indicative of potential at Surimeau. Preliminary field observations illustrate strong structural remobilization
and metamorphic coarse recrystallization of sphalerite. Microscopic observations made o f a sulfide bearing
mineral suite taken from both the Colon ie and Lalonde Ni /Zn occurences revealed surprisingly similar
characteristics in alteration minerals and sulfide mineralogy. The highlight of this work is the identification of the
nickel sulfide Pentlandite ((Fe,Ni)9S8) in most samples , indicating that the bulk of the nickel mineralization is
sulphide related with a small percentage of the nicke l tied up in silicates. Renforth carried out comparative
laboratory assay work to further verify this conclusion by testing samples and their reject using both four-
acid digestion and aqua regia digestion with an ICP -MS analysis method. Four-acid digestion will generally
absorb silicates, but aqua regia will not, the majority of the sample results support the conclusion that the bulk
of the nickel seen at Surimeau is suphide in nature. Prime geological conditions evidence a high level of

deformation and metamorphism which is believed to have led to the liberation and remobilization of nickel from
mafic intrusions and the crystallization of Pentlandite.
Samples referred to in this press release were selected, bagged, tagged and sealed in the field. The samples were
securely transported to the facilities of ALS Canada Limited in Val d’Or, Quebec for the analysis noted above.
Historic results cannot be replicated, relied upon or their QAQC measures confirmed.

ABOUT RENFORTH
Renforth Resources Inc. is a Toronto-based gold exploration company with six wholly owned surface gold bearing
properties located in the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, Canada.
In Quebec Renforth holds the Parbec Property in the Malartic gold camp, with gold present at surface and to
some depth, located on the Cadillac Break , contiguous to the East Amphi portion of the Canadian Malartic Mine
property. Parbec carries an open-pit constrained 43-101 resource with additional gold bearing structures, outside
of the Cadillac Break on the property, outside of the current resource . Renforth also holds Malartic West,
contiguous to the western boundary of the Canadian Malartic Mine Property, located in the Pontiac Sediments,
this property is gold bearing and was the recent site of a copper discovery. Renforth has acquired the Surimeau
property, also contiguous to Canadian Malartic and the southern border of the Malartic West property. Surimeau
hosts polymetallic mineralization and represents the con solidation of four historic properties into one property
for the first time. In addition to this Renforth has optioned the wholly owned Denain -Pershing gold bearing
property, located near Louvicourt, Quebec, to O3 Mining Inc.
In Ontario , Renforth holds the Nixon -Bartleman surface gold occurrence west of Timmins , Ontario, drilled,
channeled and sampled over 500m – this historic property also requires additional exploration to define the
extent of the mineralization.
