Renforth’s wholly owned Nixon-Bartleman Gold property hosts gold on surface sampled over ~500m, with historic drilling and discovery of en-echelon gold veining. All of the known gold at Nixon-Bartlemen is located within 4 patent claims, surrounded by staked claims to for a property which is 313 hectares in size and road accessible, located west of Timmins, Ontario, on the Porcupine-Destor Fault. Nixon-Bartleman (“NixB”) is extremely well located on the prolific gold-bearing Porcupine-Destor fault, Renforth’s property is located on strike, and in between, the Timmins West and Bell Creek Mines (east of NixB) and the Pen Gold Project to the west of NixB.
Nixon-Bartleman was last explored in 2014 by Renforth with a surface prospecting campaign, the highlight result from that campaign was 22.10 g/t Au over 0.3m in a channel sample. Renforth plans to resume exploration in 2025.

Property Geology and Geophysical Anomalies
Renforth considers the Nixon-Bartleman property prospective for a significant shear hosted gold occurrence. Favourable factors include:
- The westward extension of the Porcupine-Destor deformation zone-which is the source of all gold deposits in the Porcupine camp-runs either through the property itself or very nearby .
- A gold occurrence – the Nixon-Bartleman occurrence – exists on the property, displaying mineralization, associated trace elements, alteration, and structural characteristics similar to those found in the gold deposits of the Porcupine camp.
- A second gold occurrence associated with a silica zone at the contact between a feldspar porphyryintrusive and the volcanic stratigraphy was discovered during the 2004 – 2005 PGM exploration program.This occurrence has only undergone preliminary testing.
- Several geophysical and geochemical targets delineated during the PGM exploration program remain to be tested.
