Renforth Announces Commencement of Drilling
Toronto, Ontario CANADA, February 10, 2014 /FSC/ - Renforth Resources Inc. (RFR - CSE),("Renforth" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling for the previously announced drilling program of a minimum length of 600 metres focused on the Thompson-Cadillac Mine deposit, adjacent to Highway 117 approximately 15 kms west of Malartic, Quebec.
"Renforth is excited to have our 2014 exploration season underway at our flagship asset, the former Thompson-Cadillac Mine. We will be focused this year on the New Alger Project, putting a near surface resource in place at the Thompson-Cadillac Mine deposit, along with follow up on the Discovery Vein later in the season," states Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth.
The map below depicts the approximate targeting of the initial drillholes. These are designed to intersect known mineralization at shallower depths within veins 1, 2 and 3. Success with these holes is expected to demonstrate continuity and add confidence to the existing model, which is a combination of historic and more recent NI 43-101 compliant drilling. This model is expected to support an eventual NI 43-101 initial resource estimate for the Thompson-Cadillac Mine deposit.

Renforth is currently compiling a database of historical information regarding the Thompson-Cadillac property, which is demonstrating that the property has been poorly explored to date. This research has uncovered some of the following interesting facts, taken from historical, non 43-101 compliant documents created by working professionals in the field at various times:
1) In 1929 Shaft #1 had been developed to a depth of 600 feet, at the 300 foot level a hole was drilled to the south almost to the discovery vein.
2) By 1946 this hole to the south had been replaced with a crosscut south for a length of 1000 feet, at the 800 foot length of the crosscut there was 500 feet of drifting done to the west. Renforth has mapped this against the results from the summer 2013 exploration season, Renforth's surface findings line up with the location of a steeply plunging vertical vein at depth in the drifting off the crosscut.
3) There is no record of any meaningful geological mapping of the property being done on either the surface or underground, this speaks to the exploration effort being based solely on visual mineralization on surface and underground.
4) In 1947 Shaft #1 was deepened to a final depth of 1124 feet. A level established at 1100 feet led to the discovery of 4 new zones of mineralization
5) The project was idled in 1948 and held privately until 1981 with no activity taking place. Activity subsequent to 1981, and prior to "recent" activity commencing in 2007 consisted only of compilation and section work, the capping of the two shafts, a Mag and VLF survey and the drilling of two diamond drill holes, both of these are reported to have intersected gold. This means that the bulk of meaningful work on the property was on an intermittent basis between discovery in 1924 and idling in 1948.
Renforth is pursuing the compilation of the property history in order to both better guide Renforth's exploration efforts, with the efficient use of historic data deemed reliable by management, and in order to answer the question of why this property is still sitting relatively unexploited in a very important gold camp. Once completed the historical data, sourced from Natural Resources Canada and SIGEOM databases, will be available on the Renforth website.
