Renforth starts drill program at Victoria Ni/Cu/Co deposit

   TORONTO, Ontario — July 9, 2026 — TheNewswire - Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTC: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) ("Renforth" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a drill program on our wholly owned Victoria Ni/Cu/Co Open Pit Polymetallic deposit on our Malartic Metals Package Property located between Cadillac and Malartic Quebec, contiguous to the Canadian Malartic Mine Complex property and approximately 19km south of the LaRonde VMS Mine, both held by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (T:AEM – NYSE:AEM) . This program is the first drilling to build upon our September 2025 Victoria MRE, designed to undercut two areas of significant mineralization encountered in prior drilling, as detailed below.   HIGHLIGHTS Undercut SUR-21-05 and SUR-21-04, the latter assayed 74.55m of 0.14% Ni and 95.43ppm Co from 126.45 to 201m down the hole, including 10.5m of 0.55% Cu from 182.7 to 193.2m down the hole.*   Undercut SUR-21-26, SUR-21-27 and SUR-21-28, the latter assayed 170.55m of 0.16% Ni  and 100.2 ppm Co from 40.9 to 211.45m down the hole, culminating in a highlight interval of 1.5m of 3.46% Ni and 491ppm Co from 196.5 to 198m down the hole.*     *Please refer to prior press releases issued on November 10, 2021 and March 29, 2022 for fulsome results     “We are happy to have the drill turning on our Victoria project again, initially undercutting some very good prior results in order to, with success, begin expanding the initial resource. Personally I find Victoria a very exciting project which I feel will continue to grow, both within the 2.5km our open pit resource currently covers, as we drill deeper and infill this footprint, and, in addition, when we eventually step out and drill off the remainder of the 20km long mineralized structure that our Victo
