Renforth Resources completes new channel sampling at Parbec gold deposit Proactive Thu, November 12, 2026 at 9:42 AM EST 1 min read RFR.CN -25.00% GC=F -3.45% RFR RFHRF -18.52% Renforth Resources Inc (CSE:RFR, OTCQB:RFHRF) has completed another round of channel sampling at its wholly owned Parbec gold deposit in Malartic, Quebec, as work on an updated mineral resource estimate moves towards completion.
The latest sampling was carried out within the stripped area of the open-pit shell associated with the April 2025 resource estimate.
The company said the program extends sampling further along the felsite structure exposed this summer than previous campaigns and targeted smaller quartz veins that run at various angles and intersect one another.
The area was first exposed when stripping began in fall 2025 and has since undergone some weathering, with minor staining visible on the rock.
This is the first sampling program of its kind at Parbec, Renforth said.
Meanwhile, the independent qualified person is completing data verification of assay certificates from previous programs. The updated mineral resource estimate will be announced once the verification work is complete, the company said.
Renforth has also appointed a metallurgist Grant Feasby to oversee metallurgical testwork at Parbec, which is expected to begin shortly.
The testwork will provide input for a preliminary economic assessment targeted for 2027, while helping to better characterize the deposit's material geochemically, including its nugget effect.
It will also assess whether the material contains potential by-product elements or deleterious elements that could affect processing and project economics.
