For Immediate Release
Renforth’s Surimeau District Scale Nickel/VMS Prospect Assays 0.483% Ni over 1m with a 13m
Interval of 0.156% Ni Starting at Surface
Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE – RFR) (OTC US– RFHRF) (WKN - A2H9TN) (“Renforth” or the “Company”)
is pleased to inform shareholders that our Surimeau district scale Nickel/VMS prospect drill program
has provided;
• 0.156% Ni over 13m, including 0.483% Ni over 1m in SUR-20-003,
• 0.126% Ni over 20.5m, including 0.209% over 2.4m from hole SUR-20-002.
• SUR-20-001 returned 1.16% Zn and 0.132% Cu over 4.03m from the bedrock surface down to
4.0m, followed by 0.147% Ni over 7.9m
The polymetallic mineralization is associated with a sul phide assemblage composed of nickel bearing
pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite.
This program has tested historical information from trenching and drilling known as the “Victoria West”
target. Renforth’s preliminary surface sampling and these 3 drillholes , combined with historic
information, create an area of interest that has the most data available on the property . Overall, the
prospective horizons tested herein include approximately 5kms. of strike in the western end of the
~20km central anomaly at Surimeau. (refer to the Surimeau property map, available in the Surimeau
section, under Projects, at www.renforthresources.com)
Renforth interprets the Surimeau central anoma ly to be a nickel bearing ultramafic body occurring
alongside, and intermingled with, a sediment-and volcanic hosted copper/zinc volcanogenic massive
sulfide style occurrence. This is considered by Renforth to be an “Outokumpu -like” occurrence, a
reference to a district in eastern Finland known for several unconventional sulphide deposits variously
hosting economic grades of Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Ag and Au. Like Surimeau, the Outokumpu district is located
in a deformed high grade metamorph osed terrain where volca nic and ultramafic units form
intercalated lenses in a sediment dominated environment.
Drilling
Hole SUR-20-001 and SUR-20-003, along strike and approximately 200m apart , were both collared in
mineralization. SUR-20-002 was collared over 60m south of SUR -20-003 and intersected the northern
contact between the volcanic complex and sediments of the Pontiac Group. Hole SUR-20-003 ended
abruptly due to equipment breakdown, at a length of 32m, still in mineralizati on, which ended the
program.
Almost all of SUR-20-003 was sampled, and contained elevated nickel contents, as presented below,
indicating the hole was entirely within a nickel - bearing ultramafic unit. In contrast to this SUR-20-002,
Suite 269 – 1099 Kingston Road

collared 60m away, contains elevated nickel , copper and zinc, from 3 to 70.5 in one uninterrupted
interval; highlights within this mineralized envelope are presented below. Collared 220m to the east,
SUR-20-001 is continuously enriched in base metals, with variable contents of Ni, Zn and Cu from
surface for 22.25m. Highlights are presented below.
The assays are presented below with two sets of information: First the continuously mineralized zone
is given for each hole, followed by specific assay highlights for either nickel, copper or zinc within the
continuously mineralized zone.

Surimeau Surface Sampling
Prior to this drill program Renforth conducted reconnaissance prospecting at Surimeau, in the areas of
historic work at Victoria West (the same area as the drill program), the LaLonde base metal occurrence
approximately 3.5 km to the north, in the northern anomaly at Surimeau, and Colonie, approximately
20km to the east of, and on strike to, the Victoria West area.
Selected highlights of that surface prospecting program, which visited historic trenches as well as
outcrops, found and sampled for the first time, appear below. This list is not comprehensive, nor
entirely representative of the property. This list contains the highlights of grab sampling programs, grab
samples are selective in nature. In addition, this prospecting program, Renforth’s first work at Surimeau
was focused where there was record and evidence of historic trenching. Renforth currently interprets
Surimeau to host a nickel bearing ultramafic unit, along with a copper -zinc VMS, as well as a
tectonically “mixed” zone between the two . We also observed that historic work was not evenly
divided between these mineralized zones, and our prospecting work did not evenly address these zones
as a result.

Outlook
The Surimeau drill program used a custom built mobile, track mounted drill, and was planning to test
sub-surface mineralization near old trenches and outcrop proximal to the property access road. SUR-
20-001 was 72m in length, with 44.6m sampled, SUR-20-002 was 90m in length, with 71.25m sampled
and SUR-20-003 was 32m in length with 20.7m of sampling. As every sample taken returned values
above background in different elements the decision has bee n taken to sample all of t he remaining
core obtained during the Parbec drill program and submit this for assay, resolving sampling gaps which
have mineralization on either side of the gap. In addition to this testing for platinum group element
contents is under way.
Drill samples and their assays referred to in this press release were identified, split, bagged and tagged
in the field and delivered to the facilities of AGAT Laboratories in Val d’Or Quebec where they were
processed using Sodium Peroxide Fus ion - ICP-OES/ICP-MS Finish. The prospecting grab samples and
their assays referred to in this press release were selected, bagged, tagged and sealed in the field. They
were delivered to the facilities of ALS Canada Ltd in Val d’Or where they underwent ME -MS41L (Aqua
Regia, ICP-MS).
Technical disclosure in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Brian H. Newton P.Geo
and Martin Demers P.Geo (ogq), each a “qualified person” pursuant to the guidelines of NI 43-101.
