RFR Renforth Resources Inc

Renforth Resources Inc. ("Renforth" or the "Company") (CNSX:RFR) is pleased to
announce the completion of its' winter 2010/2011 drill program and the results
as demonstrated by field logging.


As noted in the Company's previous press release dated January 20, 2011, recent
developments at the Canadian Malartic Project of Osisko inspired Renforth to
re-examine the New Alger property for shallower gold occurrences over greater
lengths. This included a re-examination of the deeper results previously
obtained by Cadillac Ventures Inc. ("Cadillac") in their drill programs at New
Alger. Renforth's geologist was given access to the drill logs and core from the
Cadillac drilling and a drill program was designed to over-cut the holes
previously drilled by Cadillac that successfully intersected gold at depth.


A total of 2,231 metres were drilled at the New Alger Project, consisting of
nine holes.


David Danziger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Renforth states, "We
are very encouraged with our initial success at New Alger. We were able to
obtain large intersections of arsenopyrite mineralization that contain several
flecks of visible native gold in the drill core. These have been sampled and
sent for assay. There is a very strong association between arsenopyrite
mineralization and gold. Generally the higher the arseno content, the higher the
gold content. Historically, narrow quartz vein systems were sampled and/or
mined, as they often carried visible coarse gold and were of higher grade. We
are now very optimistic that the relatively shallow occurrence of arsenopyrite
supports the re-examination of the New Alger property as much more than a known
vein system."


The results from the holes that were drilled are as follows;

Ren-10-01 - this hole was drilled to overcut NA-07-07 and NA-08-06. In NA-07-07
Cadillac obtained results of 1.64 g/t Au over a true width of 4.1 metres,
including 12.35 g/t Au over 0.6 metres true width. In NA-08-06, drilled above
NA-07-07, the best intersection obtained was 3.98 g/t Au from 211.0 m to 212.0 m
(not true width). In the current drilling program Renforth drilled above both of
these holes and determined that the main mineralization encountered was hosted
in mafic-to-intermediate tuffs and porphyries, from 143.5 to 185.3m, with
arsenopyrite up to 10% around blue quartz veins, and 172-185m hosting fine
arsenopyrite at a constant 10%. 104 samples were selected from this hole and
sent for assaying. 


REN-10-02 - this hole was drilled to overcut NA-07-08 where Cadillac obtained
3.07 g/t Au over a true width of 1.7 metres, including 7.9 g/t Au over a true
width of 0.57 metres. Renforth drilled a 252.0 m hole which intercepted a minor
mineralized seam at about 60m depth - a approx. 150cm stretch of heavily
chloritised tuff carrying approx. 5% coarse arsenopyrite with narrow quartz
veins containing fine visible gold flakes. A total of 77 samples were taken from
this hole and sent for assaying. 


REN-10-03 - this hole was drilled to overcut NA-07-09 and NA-08-05 where
Cadillac Ventures received assay values for NA-07-09 which included an
intersection of 30 cm (true width) which assayed 18.45 g/t Au. In drill hole
NA-08-05 Cadillac encountered at least four zones of mineralization returning
gold values to 0.96 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (not true width). Renforth drilled
REN-10-03 over both of these holes. The mineralized envelope is within an
intermediate porphyritics with variable levels of fine arsenopyrite which was
intersected at a depth of 202m. There is abundant evidence of faulting including
brecciation, sigmoidal veining and mylonitic shear textures. 57 samples were
taken from this hole overall and sent for assaying.


REN-10-04 - this hole was planned to over-cut hole NA-07-10 drilled by Cadillac
where 3.3 metres true width assayed 1.41 g/t Au, including 0.48 metres true
width of 4.19 g/t Au. In REN-10-04 a approx. 2m silicified porphyritic band was
found starting at 14m which carried up to 10% fine arsenopyrite. Following this
is a tuffaceous unit, hosting a secondary mineralized zone from 144-147m
centered on a approx. 1m feldspathic porphyry. The primary mineralized porphyry
begins at 161.7 to 182.5m with patchy finely disseminated arsenopyrite
throughout. It is immediately followed by an intermediate tuff unit that carries
arsenopyrite consistently around 10% of volume between 186 and 192m. A 3m drift
from the O'Brien mine was hit at 195.2m; drilling was continued past this cavity
largely without incident. The mineralized zone in this area has been efficiently
mined out, 71 samples were taken in this hole and sent for assaying. 


REN-10-05 - this hole was planned as an over-cut of NA-07-11 where Cadillac
intersected several areas of mineralization, including 3.08 g/t Au over 1.2
metres true width. In REN-10-05 an intermediate porphyry was intersected from
113 to 164 meters with occasional strongly altered silicified and sericistised
bands throughout. Disseminated arsenopyrite blades were found throughout the
entire altered zone, varying widely in prominence but occasionally up to 10% of
core volume. In two instances fine visible gold flakes were found in narrow blue
quartz veinlets within this altered zone. 78 samples were taken in total and
sent for assaying. 


REN-10-06 - This hole overcut the older hole NA-07-12 and has been drilled to
clarify the physical extent of mineralization at this locality. This hole
primarily encountered mafic-to-intermediate banded tuffaceous units, Finely
diessmeinated arsenopyrite was noted from approx. 37m to approx. 50m.
Significant disseminated arsenopyrite (density varying from 1% to 5% estimated
core volume) is associated with silicified, brecciated zones from approx. 111m
downwards. Large (up to 5cm) aggregations and layers of massive pyrrhotite and
pyrite are found, associated with dark fine lamination, from approx.149m to
approx. 156m. At this depth lies a probable fault zone, exhibiting intense
brecciation and veining with blue quartz which area classic mineralization
indicator. 82 samples were collected for analysis and sent for assaying.


REN-10-07 - represented a new location. This exploration hole was the shortest
hole drilled, at a depth of 18.6m, a 40cm feldspathic vein or highly
feldspathised hydrothermal breccia containing occasional flakes of chalcopyrite
and possible native gold was intersected. From 19.9 to 37.3 m a series of 1-2cm
thick blueish quartz veins or nodules occur every metre or so, with the primary
arsenopyrite mineralization (coarse blades, up to 10% volume) being found
intermittently from 46 to 68m. A secondary mineralized body is found from
roughly 92 to 95m, with strings of pyrite and blades of arsenopyrite each
forming up to 5% of core volume in places. 63 samples were taken in this hole
overall and sent for assaying.


REN-10-08 - also represents a new location. A largely sterile unit of greywacke
extends to 71.8m depth, beyond which lies a approx. 20m transition zone in which
greywacke is extensively interbedded with mafic tuffs. An intermediate volcanic
unit begins at 98m and extends to the limit of current logging. Occasional
phenocrystal layers, with apparently crystalline groundmass, may represent flows
of porphyry. Localized zones carry up to 5% pyrite and/or arsenopyrite in a
variety of habits, sometimes but not always associated with quartz veining. Much
of this unit has been sampled to catch scattered pyrite flakes and disseminated
arsenopyrite. A total of 130 samples have been collected and sent for assaying.


REN-10-09 - This was the final hole to be drilled in this program and it was
also a new location exploration hole. Intermediate tuffs and porphyries were
intersected from 208m to 246m carrying notable mineralization (approx. 5%
arsenopyrite with variable pyrite, 238-245m). A total of 51 samples were taken
from this hole and sent for assaying.


All of the samples selected in this program were under the supervision of Brian
H. Newton P.Geo. They were bagged and tagged onsite, and securely transported to
assay facilities. The results of the assaying will be released after completion
and internal study.


Mr. Brian H. Newton P.Geo and a qualified person under NI 43-101 has reviewed
and approved the technical disclosure in this press release on behalf of the
Company.
