PICKERING, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2020 / Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR)(OTC:RFHRF) (WKN:A2H9TN) ("Renforth" or the "Company") would like shareholders to know that exploration on the Beaupré Copper/Silver Discovery on our wholly owned Malartic West Property, contiguous to the Canadian Malartic Mine Property in Malartic, Quebec, has resumed.
"Renforth has a copper/silver discovery which extends over 165m in surface sampling, which is a true discovery, there is no historical record. The strike length is entirely open and it has never been drilled. It is next door to Canada's largest open pit gold mine, in an established mining camp, literally right beside a logging road a couple of kms. off of a regional road. We do not know why this mineralization is there yet, or the extent of the copper and silver system, but we do know these rocks, in this location, with copper and silver prices rising, deserve additional exploration. So that is what we will do," states Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth.

Additional Exploration Updates
Renforth has completed the previously announced blasting program on our New Alger Property and the Discovery Veins surface gold mineralization, stripped over 275m within a known 500m strike length in the Pontiac sediments, which is still open. Renforth is now drilling on the Discovery Veins, within and outside of the stripped area. The drill program will continue under the supervision of one geologist, with a second geologist undertaking the renewed exploration at Beaupré.
In addition, Renforth is awaiting assay results from our June 2020 Beep Mat/Prospecting work which included sampling on our Parbec gold property and our Surimeau polymetallic property.

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 New Alger and Parbec Properties, in the Cadillac and Malartic gold camps respectively, with gold present at surface and to some depth, located on the Cadillac Break. Each of these properties carries an open-pit constrained 43-101 resource. In both instances' additional gold bearing structures, other than the Cadillac Break, have been found on each property and require additional exploration. 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 consolication of four historic properties into one 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.
