Rua Gold Files Preliminary Economic Assessment for Auld Creek Gold Antimony Project Rua Gold Inc. has filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Auld Creek Gold Antimony Project located in the Reefton Goldfield on the West Coast of New Zealand. The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been prepared and approved by the following independent Qualified Persons, each within the meaning of National Instrument 43 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects: Abraham Whaanga, BSc, MAusIMM (CP) of RSC has reviewed and verified the resource-related information disclosed herein. Gary Davison, FAusIMM, Principal Mining Engineer and Director of Mining One Consultants, has reviewed the mining methods, mining capital and operating costs and is responsible for Economic Analysis. Marius Phillips, NHD Ex Met, MAusIMM (CP), RPEQ and Technical Director of Pitch Black Group is responsible for information relating to plant capital and operating costs, mineral processing and metallurgical testing and recovery methods. Each Qualified Person has independently reviewed and verified relevant underlying data in the MRE and PEA, has consented to the disclosure of the information in this news release in the form and context in which it appears, and is independent of Rua Gold Inc. within the meaning of NI 43 101. The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) presented in RUA's press release on 5 May 2026 was based on mineable shapes created by RSC for the February 2026 Independent Technical Report (Whaanga, 2026). This MRE is comparable to the 'RAW MSO' MRE presented in Table 14-21 of the PEA Technical Report, which was based on Mineable Stope Optimiser (MSO)-generated shapes produced by Mining One for the PEA. The final MSO set presented in Table 14-21 of the PEA Technical Report is materially different to the MRE in the 5 May 2026 press release, with a -22-27% change in AuEq ounces. This is due to the consideration of additional geotechnical, engineering, and economic factors, including partial extraction of a crown pillar, for the purpose of meeting the criteria for reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) at the PEA level. Further details of the factors considered are provided in Section 14.10 of the Technical Report. Simon Henderson CP, AUSIMM, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and Chief Operating Officer and a director of RUA GOLD, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained herein. Mr. Henderson has verified the data disclosed, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information or opinions contained in the technical information herein. Mr. Henderson supervised the Company's drill program and verified the data disclosed, including sampling, analytical and QA/QC data, including reviewing the reports of SGS Laboratories, methodologies, results, and all procedures undertaken for quality assurance and quality control in a manner consistent with industry practice, and all matters were consistent and accurate according to his professional judgement. There were no limitations on the verification process. Announcement • Jun 19
RUA GOLD Inc. Reports Strong Progress At Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Reefton Goldfield RUA GOLD Inc. reported strong progress at its Auld Creek gold-antimony project in the Reefton Goldfield. The Company said recent drilling continues to demonstrate strong evidence to expand the gold-antimony resource over a strike length of more than 1,000 metres and to depths beyond 500 metres — and that it has now collared its 100th hole, with roughly 10,000 metres of a planned 19,000-metre program already complete. With the drilling running ahead of schedule, RUA remains on track to fold the results and a battery of technical studies into a Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026. RUA has described it as hosting New Zealand's largest known antimony deposit, and the metal occurs alongside high-grade gold — meaning a single operation could produce both a precious metal enjoying record prices and a critical mineral the West urgently needs. Drilling is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the goal of completing the full 19,000-metre program by around the start of September. Recent holes have provided definitive proof of grade continuity in the project's southern Fraternal zone, raising confidence in the resource envelope some 300 metres below surface. Highlighted intercepts included 2.7 metres at 7.6 grams per tonne gold-equivalent (containing both gold and a notable antimony component) from 269 metres, and a 10.1-metre interval at 2.2 grams per tonne gold-equivalent — results that confirm both the continuity and the expansion potential of the system. RUA has shipped a one-tonne bulk sample of resource-grade mineralization to a specialist laboratory in Australia for advanced metallurgical testing, and is running a full suite of geotechnical and hydrological studies — rock strength, specific gravity, porosity, and water behavior — all designed to feed directly into the Pre-Feasibility Study. Scout drilling has also been mobilized to test the full 2,500-metre length of surface gold-arsenic-antimony soil anomalies, and a fifth drill rig is now turning at the Company's regional Alexander River and Big River targets. RUA is working toward the long-term potential of multiple underground mines feeding a single central mill at Auld Creek. The Company has lodged a Fast-Track referral application for Auld Creek, with a decision from the New Zealand Government anticipated in July, and is targeting submission of a substantive permit application supported by the completed Pre-Feasibility Study. The Company has backed that permitting push with more than 30 consultants and independent advisors supporting environmental, social, and economic assessments, and over 500 engagements with community members, stakeholders, and regulators since late 2025, including hosting government delegations for site visits.
