In this interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster discusses the company's newly updated 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec — a move that significantly strengthens the company's value proposition at a time when gold prices continue to surge.The updated estimate now totals 363,000 ounces of gold, marking a 29% increase over the previous figure and signaling growing maturity and confidence in the deposit. Notably, 265,000 ounces are now categorized as Measured and Indicated, and 87% of the total resource sits within an open pit — directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle's Canadian Malartic Mine, one of Canada's largest gold operations.KEY HIGHLIGHTS:Open Pit Advantage: With mineralization starting at surface and a pit depth of 300 meters, Parbec's economics are compelling, especially with nearby toll milling options.Strategic Fit for Agnico: The project's location beside Canadian Malartic and proximity to multiple mills makes it a potential solution for Agnico Eagle's "fill-the-mill" strategy — especially amid $5.6B in M&A activity in the district.Clear Monetization Path: CEO Nicole Brewster outlines a three-path strategy: sale, joint venture, or self-development, including a plan to initiate stripping and bulk sampling this summer for potential cash flow.A COMPELLING QUOTE FROM THE CEO“We are very happy to deliver this significant size increase to our open pit gold deposit next door to Agnico Eagle's Canadian Malartic mine… With this MRE, 87% of the gold ounces within the resource estimate are contained within the accompanying open pit.” — Nicole Brewster, CEOWHY INVESTORS SHOULD WATCH THIS INTERVIEW Renforth has done what many small caps struggle to achieve: increase its resource size while also upgrading confidence categories — all while controlling costs and maintaining 100% ownership in one of the world's top-ranked mining jurisdictions. With strategic positioning next to Canada's mining giant, viable paths to monetization, and growing relevance in a high-gold-price environment, Parbec is moving from potential to probability.This interview isn't just an update — it's a real-time look into how Renforth is strategically unlocking value from its assets and evaluating serious next steps.Watch the full interview now to understand why Renforth could be a key player in Quebec's next wave of gold development
