Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 3, 2026) – RUA GOLD INC. (TSX: RUA) (NZX: RGI) (OTCQX: NZAUF) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the filing on SEDAR+ of independent Technical Reports for its Reefton Project (“Reefton Technical Report”) on the South Island and Glamorgan Project (“Glamorgan Technical Report”) on the North Island of New Zealand.

Highlights:

The updated resource profile demonstrates increases in all four MRE prospects.
The updated Auld Creek MRE includes an Indicated Mineral Resource of 0.3Mt @ 3.18g/t Au and 12% Sb, containing 31koz of gold and 3kt antimony (54koz AuEq2). Also, an Inferred Resource of 1.25Mt @ 2.0g/t Au and 0.8% Sb, containing 79koz of Au and 10kt of Sb (148koz AuEq2).
19,000 meters of drilling in the next 7 months is focused on expanding the MRE northwards and at depth. · The Company is currently undertaking planning, environmental and social studies to support a Fast-track Referral application in the first quarter of 2026.
RUA GOLD will be undertaking a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) study during the first half of 2026 precursor to a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in the second half of the year.

The Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the Reefton Project included in the Reefton Technical Report provides a strong starter resource to initiate the mine permitting process in New Zealand via the Fast-track1 process on its Auld Creek target while providing the foundation for technical and economic studies. An aggressive 19,000-meter drill program is underway with 4 drill rigs in operation from 2 March 2026.

The Reports, titled “Technical Report on the Reefton Project, New Zealand, Report for NI 43 – 101 on the Reefton Project, New Zealand” and “Technical Report on the Glamorgan Project, Report for NI-43-101 on the Glamorgan Project, New Zealand” respectively, with effective dates of February 27, 2026, are available on SEDAR+ under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.ruagold.com. Each report was prepared by RSC Consulting Ltd. (“RSC“) and authored by Abraham Whaanga, BSc, MAusIMM (CP) of RSC, a “qualified person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101“). RSC and Mr. Whaanga are independent of the Company, as determined in accordance with NI 43-101.

The Company’s COO Simon Henderson said, “Since November 2024 drilling has prioritised the Auld Creek gold-antimony project to advance one project toward a mine development phase. With gold-antimony mineralisation outcropping at surface, and continuing unconstrained at depth and along strike northward, Auld Creek presents a compelling opportunity to establish a central processing hub for high grade gold and gold -antimony projects within a 30 km range.

“The 19,000m drill program, and additional regional projects at Alexander, Big River, Golden Treasure and Fiery Cross to be tested in the 2026 year provide both resources and excitement in the exploration team to revitalise the Reefton gold district.”

RUA GOLD Provides Outlook and Growth Catalysts for 2026

Newsfile Corp.

Newsfile Corp

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 9, 2026) – RUA GOLD INC. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an outlook as it outlines the strategy for 2026, including the commencement of drilling at the Glamorgan Project on the North Island and the advancement of the Reefton Project toward permitting on the South Island of New Zealand.

Following the completion of the oversubscribed and upsized financing in January 2026, the Company has approximately C$38 million in available cash and is well-positioned to deliver several key catalysts for shareholders.

EXPANDED DRILL PROGRAM ACROSS THE REEFTON PROJECT
The drill program underway across the Reefton Goldfield has two primary objectives:

Three drill digs are currently operating at the Auld Creek target, continuing step-out drilling with the aim of expanding the existing resource.
One rig is focused on other highly ranked, prospective targets across the past-producing Reefton Goldfield, with the objective of identifying the next optimal target for low-capital-intensity resource definition – specifically shallow, continuous mineralization.

Work is ongoing with RSC Consulting to complete the updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Reefton Project, which is expected to be published by the end of the month. Completion of this report will establish a baseline resource at Auld Creek and support ongoing drill planning aimed at maximising resource growth.

Catalyst: Ongoing exploration updates coming to the market supported by the four drill rig program.

PERMITTING UNDERWAY FOR THE REEFTON PROJECT
RUA GOLD is actively advancing permitting-related activities on the West Coast of New Zealand. The Company has appointed key partners to support environmental studies and the permitting process. These partners bring strong and relevant experience from neighbouring projects, including Endura Mining’s Snowy River Project, OceanaGold’s Globe Progress reclamation project, and OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga Project on the North Island. Wharekirauponga was the first mine fully permitted under New Zealand’s Fast-track process in just 112 days and is currently under construction.

Field visits were completed during December and January, and the Company is targeting submission of a Fast-track referral application in Q1 2026, with a regulatory decision anticipated in Q2 2026. This decision will determine whether the Reefton Project qualifies for the six-month Fast-Track permitting process.

Given the presence of antimony as a by-product at the Reefton Goldfield, and its strategic importance to New Zealand amid global efforts to secure critical minerals, the Company is confident in the project’s eligibility for the Fast-track process.

Engagement with our local Māori stakeholders, Te Runanga o Ngāti Waewae, has been ongoing with respect to exploration activities and future development plans. Ngāti Waewae are strong supporters of the project and will work closely with the Company throughout the Fast-Track permitting process, including assisting with cultural impact assessments. Community and regulatory consultations have commenced and will continue to intensify throughout 2026.

Subject to a successful referral application, the Company is targeting submission of the Fast-Track mining permit application by the end of 2026.

Catalyst: Anticipated inclusion of the Reefton Project in the Fast-Track permitting process in Q2 2026 and submission of a mining permit application in Q4 2026. Throughout 2026, the Company will continue environmental and technical studies in preparation for the mining application.

NEW ZEALAND JOINS THE INTERNATIONAL MINERALS SECURITY PARTNERSHIP
New Zealand has joined the international Minerals Security Partnership to attract investment and strengthen its critical minerals sector, aligning with its Minerals Strategy to double its mineral export value by 2035 and support resilient, sustainable global supply chains.

Ministers Shane Jones and Winston Peters say membership places New Zealand alongside major economies, boosts international relationships, and helps unlock the country’s natural resources and innovative technologies to create high-value regional jobs (refer to www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-international-partnership-attract-investment-critical-minerals).

This strategic partnership entered by the New Zealand Government, aligns perfectly with the development strategy that RUA GOLD is currently executing on, further encouraging a positive outcome for Fast-Track permitting for the Reefton Project.

The Minerals Security Partnership includes Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union among others.

COMMENCEMENT OF DRILLING AT THE GLAMORGAN PROJECT
The Glamorgan Project is located within the highly prospective Hauraki Goldfield on the North Island of New Zealand. The district has historically produced 15Moz gold and 60Moz silver, with active mining operations ongoing today. RUA GOLD’s tenements are adjacent to OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga Project, which recently advanced through Fast-Track permitting process in 112 days, and is now under construction.1

Over the past 18-months, RUA GOLD has completed a comprehensive and systematic surface exploration program at the Glamorgan Project. This work has identified geological features extending 3 kilometres north that are geologically analogous to Wharekirauponga. The Company has defined four major gold-arsenic anomalies, each trending approximately 4 kilometres in length.

These results have established a strong pipeline of drill-ready targets and support a well-defined initial 5,000-metre drill program to be executed with two drill rigs over a six-month period.

Catalyst: Drill permit applications have been submitted, and environmental studies are underway. Completion of these studies is expected by the end of February, followed by Māori consultation in March. The Company anticipates receipt of drill permits in Q2 2026.

RUA GOLD Provides Exploration Update and 2026 Outlook for the Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project, Reefton Goldfield

Newsfile Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 19, 2026) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an exploration update on its Auld Creek gold-antimony project in the Reefton Goldfield, New Zealand, and to outline the key permitting catalysts for 2026.

Highlights:

The Company is ramping up permitting related activities, targeting inclusion on the list of projects eligible for New Zealand’s FAST TRACK process in the first half of 2026
Highlighted assay results from Auld Creek include: ACDDH050: 3.0m @ 21.27 g/t AuEq1 (4.5 g/t Au & 3.9% Sb) from 137m Including 2.0m @ 27.4 g/t AuEq1 (5.2 g/t Au & 5.5% Sb) ACDDH055: 3.4m @ 4.18 g/t AuEq1 (2.6 g/t Au & 0.4% Sb) from 152.7m ACDDH056: 5.1m @ 7.27g/t AuEq1 (5.3 g/t Au & 0.5% Sb) from 240.4
Three drill rigs are operating from January, accelerating progress and testing extensions 400m north of the Fraternal lode and 250m northwest of the Bonanza lode.
Further drilling has increased the strike length of the deposit a further 250m to 870m length, remains open along strike to the north and at depth via plunging ore shoots.
Scout drilling is being mobilized to test the full 2,500m strike length of the surface gold-arsenic-antimony soil geochemical anomalies.
RSC Consulting has been engaged to prepare an updated NI 43-101 Reefton Technical Report, scheduled to be published in February 2026 and incorporating drilling to date.
Tendering underway for works to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”).January 19, 2026.

Encouraging new mineral intersections confirm expansion of the Auld Creek system beyond 870m (Fraternal lode), with mineralization remaining open to the north and unconstrained at depths exceeding 320m. A third drill rig is scheduled to commence drilling by the end of January, accelerating resource development and testing anomalies directly along strike of both the Fraternal and Bonanza lodes.

The Company has significantly advanced permitting activities in the region and is targeting submission of a Fast Track referral application in the first half of 2026. Consultant and stakeholder site visits commenced in December 2025, with the majority of the independent advisors scheduled to visit the Auld Creek site and surrounding areas in January 2026.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD, commented: “Auld Creek continues to be a cornerstone asset for the Company. Ongoing drilling is expanding both the scale and confidence of the mineralized system as we advance toward mine permitting.

We intend to use the FAST TRACK legislation for the Auld Creek gold-antimony project, with the objective of bringing New Zealand’s largest known antimony deposit into production. Our confidence in this permitting regime was reinforced by the approval of OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga gold-silver project in December 2025.”

FAST TRACK PROCESS ADVANCING

RUA GOLD is actively progressing permitting related activities on the West Coast of New Zealand, with the team targeting submission of a Fast Track referral application in the first half of 2026.

Engagement with our local Maori stakeholders, Te Runanga o Ngāti Waewae has been ongoing with respect to exploration activities and future development plans. Ngāti Waewae are strong supporters of the project and will work closely with the Company throughout the Fast Track process, including assisting with cultural impact assessments.

The mine concept design was completed in 2025 by engineering firm AMC Consultants, and the Company is currently tendering works to support the upcoming PEA. Community and regulatory consultations have commenced and will intensify throughout 2026. Subject to a successful referral application, the Company is targeting submission of the Fast Track application by the end of 2026.

AULD CREEK EXPLORATION UPDATE

The 2025 systematic drill program was designed to expand the scale of known mineralization and enhance confidence in the geological and resource model. Drilling has successfully demonstrated strike continuity of the Fraternal lode over 870m, with mineralization remaining open to the north and unconstrained at depth.

A central portion of the structure remains untested; the expansion to three drill rigs and implementation of double-shift operations will allow this zone to be tested in the first quarter of 2026.

Drilling and geological interpretation indicate that higher-grade mineralized shoots persist in a sub-vertical orientation. Drilling in 2026 will focus on extending these shoots at depth and infilling the resource envelope over its 870m strike length.

Assay results show:

ACDDH040: 0.8m @ 2.6 g/t Au & 0.5% Sb
ACDDH047: 3.0m @ 2.7 g/t Au
ACDDH047: 7.0m @ 1.34 g/t Au
ACDDH050: 3.0m @ 4.5 g/t Au & 3.9% Sb
ACDDH055: 3.4m @ 2.6 g/t Au & 0.4% Sb
ACDDH056: 5.1m @ 5.3 g/t Au & 0.5% Sb

ACDDH041, ACDD042, ACDDH043, ACDDH044, ACDDH045, ACDDH046, ACDDH048, ACDDH049, ACDDH051 and ACDDH057 intercepted the structure, with only weak mineralization.

Collectively, these results materially advance the Company’s understanding of the Auld Creek system, demonstrating its scale and structural continuity, and provide clear vectors to guide subsequent drilling focused on expanding higher-grade mineralization along plunge to the north and at depth, where drilling to date has not yet exceeded 320m vertically. Comparable orogenic gold-antimony deposits commonly demonstrate continuity of mineralisation well beyond 1,000m vertically.

MAPPING AND SURFACE GEOCHEMISTRY

Fraternal Lode

Surface gold-arsenic-antimony soil anomalism demonstrates that the Fraternal lode extends at least 400m to the north, with soil tenor comparable to the main Auld Creek resource zone. Regional soil gold-arsenic-antimony geochemistry demonstrates a mineralised structure exceeding 2,000m in length.

The third rig introduced in January 2026 will conduct scout drilling along this strike length of the Fraternal lode during the first half of 2026.

Bonanza Lode

Surface geological mapping guided by strongly anomalous gold-arsenic antimony soil sampling has identified strong mineralised quartz veining 250m northwest of the Bonanza lode, extending its stroke length from 350m to 600m. This area will be a priority drilling target in Q1 2026.

Pentagon Deploys $1 Billion to Secure Antimony as China Cuts Supply by 97%

Equity Insider News Commentary

Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc.

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Equity InsiderNews Commentary – Antimony prices have surged above $40,000 per ton as Western nations scramble to replace Chinese supply following export restrictions that slashed shipments by 97%[1]. The Pentagon recently deployed nearly $1 billion in October 2025 to rebuild domestic antimony stockpiles for defense applications including ammunition, night vision systems, and nuclear weapons[2]. This critical-minerals crisis has positioned Western antimony developers as strategic national security assets, creating unprecedented opportunities for RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NCM), Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE-American: USAS) (TSX: USA), and International Tower Hill Mines (NYSE-American: THM) (TSX: ITH).

Market analysts at Future Markets Insights project the global antimony market will expand from $2.15 billion in 2025 to $3.17 billion by 2035, driven by defense stockpiling, flame retardant demand, and battery applications[3]. With Montana’s only operating antimony smelter expanding capacity 400% and government contracts flowing to domestic producers[4], Western antimony miners are capturing unprecedented strategic value as supply chain security trumps traditional commodity economics.

RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) is emerging as a strategic player in the critical minerals space, controlling what may be one of the Western world’s most significant undeveloped antimony resources at a time when global supply chains face unprecedented disruption. With China’s antimony export restrictions, New Zealand formally designating it as a critical mineral earlier this year, RUA GOLD’s dual-commodity gold-antimony projects in the historically prolific Reefton Goldfield are attracting increasing institutional attention.

The company recently delivered exceptional high-grade results from its expanding Auld Creek project, including standout intercepts of 17m at 9.8g/t AuEq (3.6g/t Au & 1.5% Sb) and 8m at 8.9g/t AuEq (6.2g/t Au & 0.6% Sb). These September results demonstrated significant strike extension of the current resource. Drilling extended the mineralized system both vertically, from 160m to over 300m depth, and along strike from 350m to 620m. Critically, surface samples have returned over 40% antimony, and several drill holes exceed 8% Sb, grades rarely seen this early in a project’s development cycle.

“These drill results from Auld Creek have significantly expanded the scale and potential of the project and put us well on the way to growing the resource base as we announced last month,” said Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD. “Importantly, the mineralized system has been extended both vertically and along strike and remains open in all directions.”

RUA GOLD recently announced a major expansion to its Reefton drill campaign, mobilizing a third rig and targeting over 4,000 metres of new drilling at Auld Creek to grow the gold-antimony resource above 300,000 ounces by year-end. The company also has a third rig drilling across the remainder of the district, focusing on highly-ranked prospects highlighted by its VRIFYAI targeting process. The regional exploration program has already yielded promising results, with rock chip samples grading 14.3g/t gold discovered over 30km south of Reefton at the Bell Hill permit.

The antimony component adds strategic significance beyond typical gold exploration. With China controlling approximately 60% of global antimony production and implementing strict export controls, Western nations are scrambling to secure alternative sources for this defense-critical metal used in everything from ammunition to flame retardants and advanced batteries. New Zealand’s formal designation of antimony as a critical mineral positions RUA GOLD’s projects within a broader national security framework, potentially accelerating permitting pathways.

Throughout October, the executive team completed an ambitious international conference schedule that showcased the company’s high-grade gold-antimony story to institutional investors across three continents. The tour spanned six major mining investment events including the Munich Mining Conference, the Metals & Mining Virtual Investor Conference, Hidden Gems Conference in New York, the International Mining and Resources Conference in Sydney, the West Coast Minerals Forum in New Zealand, and concluded with the prestigious Swiss Mining Institute Conference in Zurich this week.

“We’re excited to showcase RUA GOLD on this global stage and connect with some of the top minds in mining investment,” said Eckford. “With antimony supply tightening and gold reaching further record highs, RUA GOLD is positioned to be the next explorer transitioning to developer in New Zealand.”

The Reefton Goldfield is a historically prolific district that produced more than 2 million ounces at grades up to 50 g/t. RUA GOLD now controls 120,000 hectares (roughly 95%) in the area and has confirmed multiple stacked mineralized shoots at Auld Creek. Two rigs are currently drilling at the project, testing the Bonanza shoot in the north and the Fraternal shoot in the south, with surface soil geochemistry confirming the system can be traced over a 2.5km strike length.

On the North Island, drill access applications have been submitted for RUA’s Glamorgan project in the Hauraki Goldfield, home to the 10 Moz Martha mine. Glamorgan’s 4 km gold-arsenic anomaly has been refined using VRIFY’sDORA AI engine, with drilling expected to begin in Q4.

With $14 million in cash and a leadership team behind US$11 billion in prior exits, RUA GOLD is well-positioned to deliver meaningful discovery growth across both islands. The combination of high-grade gold exploration potential and strategic antimony exposure creates a compelling dual-commodity profile at a time when both metals are commanding premium attention from global investors.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NVA) has commenced procurement of critical mining and processing equipment for its Estelle starter antimony operations and downstream antimony refinery at Port Mackenzie, Alaska, targeting first production of military-grade antimony trisulfide for 2026/27. The company holds approximately A$83.0M in funding, including A$17.5M in cash and a US$43.4M 24-month award from the U.S. Department of War, positioning it as the sole emerging, fully integrated U.S. antimony producer.

“Nova is rapidly progressing to become a fully-integrated domestic producer of military-grade antimony,” said Christopher Gerteisen, CEO of Nova Minerals. “Fuelled by a non-dilutive US$43.4 million award from the U.S. Department of War, we are currently procuring mining and processing equipment expected for delivery in January 2026. We’re currently ahead of schedule, moving towards our first expected production by 2026/27 with urgency.”

Key equipment purchases include two ore sorters following successful test work that achieved 60.3% antimony recovery in a single pass, upgrading feed grade from 15.2% to 35.2% Sb—a 2.3-fold improvement. The company continues to attract interest from other antimony projects seeking offtake agreements beyond Estelle’s stockpiles, advancing discussions with strategic partners to secure additional antimony supply.

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE-American: USAS) (TSX: USA), the only current U.S. antimony producer, has announced strong antimony production results at its Galena Complex in Idaho, reporting 447,466 pounds of antimony and 615,817 pounds of copper for the first three quarters of 2025. The year-to-date antimony output alongside copper underscores Galena’s strategic critical metals importance, with a consistent Sb:Cu ratio averaging approximately 0.73—slightly above the historical 0.69-to-1 ratio from previously announced test work.

“Highlighting Galena as the only producing antimony mine in the United States, I am thrilled to announce both antimony and copper production from our Galena Complex,” said Paul Andre Huet, Chairman and CEO of Americas Gold and Silver. “This is the first time under our new management that we are reporting antimony production, reflecting a new era where the antimony and copper from our tetrahedrite ore have the potential to drive significant future revenues. With our recently announced breakthrough of 99%+ antimony extraction from flotation concentrate grading approximately 19% antimony, and the potential to realize on commercial recovery and marketable antimony products that can be produced using proven metallurgical processes, we are in a very strong position to be a major supplier of critical metals that the United States needs.”

The antimony production announced has been delivered while the company makes investments into several growth projects at Galena to set the stage for future near-term production growth. As the company continues to execute its strategy to scale silver production materially by several multiples, potentially restoring historical production levels, it expects to concurrently increase antimony output driven by its focus on increasing production of high-grade silver tetrahedrite ore, which is the primary host for antimony and copper at Galena.

International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (NYSE-American: THM) (TSX: ITH) has received encouraging results from the first phase of its antimony metallurgy study at the Livengood Gold Project in Alaska, where 54 veins of massive stibnite were detailed during geological modeling. The company compiled four metallurgical composites from individual veins with antimony grades ranging from 1.05% to 2.75% Sb, with samples sent to Advanced Mineral Technology Laboratory Ltd. in London, Ontario for deportment work.

Results for all samples indicate that antimony is carried by stibnite, most of the stibnite is of floatable size (>10 micron), liberation of stibnite is very good at the grind size of p80 250 micron, and the samples have potential to respond well to flotation. The company intends to immediately commence the next phase of test work at SGS Vancouver and SGS Lakefield to assess potential flowsheets, evaluate how samples respond to flotation, and determine concentrate characteristics, though much more metallurgical and extensive work would be required before any determination of antimony recoverability could be established.

Mining Companies Print Record Profits As Gold Hits $4,000 Milestone

Equity Insider News Commentary

Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc.

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Equity InsiderNews Commentary – While gold’s breach of $4,000 per ounce grabbed headlines this week[1], the real story is unfolding in mining company balance sheets. Production costs have barely budged even as gold surged over 50% in 2025, creating what industry insiders call “windfall margins” where nearly every price increase drops straight to the bottom line[2]. Federal Reserve rate cuts and relentless central bank buying have removed the ceiling on gold’s upside[3], putting companies like RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV: SGN) (OTCQB: SRCRF), Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (OTCQX: THSGF), Gold X2 Mining Inc. (TSXV: AUXX) (OTCQB: GSHRF), and Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KES) (OTCQB: KSSRF).

With central banks snapping up 900 tonnes annually and Wall Street forecasting $4,900 gold by late 2026[4], the structural drivers supporting this rally show no signs of reversing. The math is simple: stable all-in sustaining costs plus soaring gold prices equals profit margins expanding at nearly twice the rate of gold’s price appreciation, creating a rare window where established producers and early-stage developers alike can generate exceptional returns for shareholders positioned ahead of the next leg higher.

RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) recently delivered exceptional high-grade results back in September from its expanding Auld Creek project, including standout intercepts of 17m at 9.8g/t AuEq and 8m at 8.9g/t AuEq. These latest results demonstrate significant strike extension of the current resource, positioning the company for substantial resource growth by year-end. The company has also made promising regional discoveries, with rock chip samples grading 14g/t gold found over 30km south of Reefton.

The company recently announced a major expansion to its Reefton drill campaign, mobilizing a third rig and targeting over 4,000 metres of new drilling at Auld Creek to grow the gold-antimony resource above 300,000 ounces by year-end. RUA GOLD also has a third rig drilling at targets across the remainder of the district, focusing on highly ranking prospects highlighted by its VRIFY AI targeting process.

With momentum building and results accelerating, RUA GOLDjust announced an ambitious Q4 conference schedule that will showcase the company’s high-grade gold-antimony story to institutional investors across three continents. The executive team will present at six major mining investment events spanning Munich, New York, Sydney, New Zealand, and Zurich throughout October and November.

The conference circuit kicked off at Munich Mining Conference on October 3-4, where CFO Zeenat Lokhandwala presented to over 1,000 German retail investors. The schedule continues with the Metals & Mining Virtual Investor Conference (October 7-9), Hidden Gems Conference in New York (October 20-21), and the International Mining and Resources Conference in Sydney (October 21-23), where COO Simon Henderson will represent RUA GOLD within the New Zealand pavilion. The tour concludes with the West Coast Minerals Forum in New Zealand (October 30) and the prestigious Swiss Mining Institute Conference in Zurich (November 20-21).

The Reefton Goldfield is a historically prolific district that produced more than 2 million ounces at grades up to 50 g/t. RUA GOLD now controls 120,000 hectares (roughly 95%) in the area and has confirmed multiple stacked mineralized shoots at Auld Creek, including previous standout intercepts of 2.1 m at 64 g/t AuEq (5.5 g/t gold and 13.1% antimony).

Antimony continues to be a major tailwind for the company’s positioning, with prices surging past US$50,000 per tonne in 2025 following China’s export restrictions. New Zealand has formally designated it as a critical mineral, adding further significance to RUA GOLD’s dual-commodity profile. Surface samples have returned over 40% Sb, and several drill holes exceed 8%, grades rarely seen this early in a project’s development cycle.

With $14 million in cash and a leadership team behind US$11 billion in prior exits, RUA GOLD is well-positioned to deliver meaningful discovery growth across both islands.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV: SGN) (OTCQB: SRCRF) has announced a maiden mineral resource estimate at its 100%-owned Manhattan District in Nevada, comprising 18,343,000 tonnes grading 1.26 g/t gold for 740,000 oz contained gold in the inferred category. The company also disclosed a historical mineral resource estimate covering satellite deposits at Black Mammoth, April Fool, Hooligan, Keystone, and Jumbo totaling 1,652,325 tonnes grading 5.89 g/t gold for 303,949 oz contained gold.

“The Maiden MRE represents the starting point for the newly consolidated 100%-owned Manhattan District, and does not yet incorporate any 2025 drilling by the Company,” said Zayn Kalyan, CEO of Scorpio Gold. “The estimates also highlight the high-grade nature of the gold mineralization, with grade being the key factor that distinguishes Manhattan from other open-pit assets in Nevada. Scorpio Gold’s objective is to build a multi-million-ounce resource at a grade that sets it apart from peers – an objective we are well positioned to pursue with the team and capital in place.”

The maiden resource incorporates over 92,000 metres of historical drilling across more than 1,300 drillholes and does not yet include the company’s 2025 drilling program, which remains underway. An NI 43-101 technical report detailing the mineral resource estimate will be filed on SEDAR+ and the company’s website within 45 days.

Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) (OTCQX: THSGF) has reported drilling results extending mineralization at the Bingo Zone of its Lawyers-Ranch Project in British Columbia, with drillhole 25BNGDD002 intersecting 89.30 m of 1.10 g/t Au from surface, including 12.00 m of 2.31 g/t Au, 3.47 g/t Ag, and 0.24% Cu beginning at 71.00 m downhole. The mineralization in this hole extends 30 m beyond currently modeled mineral resource domains and was abandoned ending in mineralization due to ground conditions, further emphasizing expansion potential.

“Our work at Ranch this year continues to underscore the project’s potential beyond what is captured in the 2024 PEA,” said Ewan Webster, President and CEO of Thesis Gold. “Drilling at Bingo emphasizes that there is still room for growth in the Ranch portion of the resource. In addition, the IP survey has opened up an entirely new perspective on the central portion of Ranch.”

The company has completed an 86 line-kilometer induced polarization geophysical survey that has identified several compelling new targets beyond the resource zones. These exploration efforts build on the strong economics outlined in the 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment, which demonstrated an after-tax NPV (5%) of C$1.28 billion, an IRR of 35.2%, and a 2.0-year payback period at US$1,930 gold and US$24 silver, with updated project economics expected in Q4 2025 through a Prefeasibility Study.

Gold X2 Mining Inc. (TSXV: AUXX) (OTCQB: GSHRF) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all issued and outstanding common shares of Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KES) (OTCQB: KSSRF), with each Kesselrun shareholder receiving $0.02 in cash and 0.2152 of a Gold X2 share per Kesselrun share held. The transaction will result in Gold X2 acquiring a 100% interest in Kesselrun’s high-grade Huronian Gold Project, a past-producing mine strategically located adjacent to Gold X2’s Moss Gold Project in Northern Ontario, with existing Kesselrun shareholders owning approximately 4.13% of the combined entity.

“The acquisition of Kesselrun Resources will mark a pivotal step forward for Gold X2 as we continue to consolidate a very prospective gold belt in Ontario,” said Michael Henrichsen, President and CEO of Gold X2. “By bringing the Huronian project under our umbrella, we are positioning Gold X2 with multiple opportunities for potential resource growth and development synergies alongside our flagship Moss Gold Project. We look forward to unlocking the full potential of this regional land package and creating long-term value for all of our shareholders.”

The transaction is expected to close on or about November 27, 2025, subject to Kesselrun shareholder approval (requiring at least 66⅔% of votes cast), court approval, and applicable regulatory approvals including TSXV approval. Gold X2 has also agreed to pay $2,000,000 in outstanding Kesselrun debt to certain creditors and provide a $500,000 interest-free bridge loan to fund transaction costs, with the boards of both companies having unanimously approved the deal and directors and officers of Kesselrun holding approximately 9.75% of outstanding shares entering into voting support agreements.

RUA GOLD Strengthens Management Team with Appointment of VP, Exploration

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 1, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the strengthening and expansion of its management team through the appointment of Emmett D’Urso as Vice President, Exploration. Mr. D’Usro will work directly with the Company’s COO, Simon Henderson, further enhancing RUA GOLD’s technical capabilities.

With more than 13 years of mineral exploration experience, Mr. D’Urso brings extensive expertise in orogenic gold exploration, particularly within the Victorian Goldfields, where he has focused on high-grade, narrow vein, Fosterville-style deposits. This experience is especially relevant as RUA GOLD’s Reefton project shares similar geological characteristics. Most recently, he contributed to exploration programs at Global Ore Discovery, where he played a key role in drill program planning and budgeting for antimony projects in New South Wales.

Prior to that Mr. D’Urso served as a Senior Site Official with De Grey Mining during the pivotal Hemi study phase. In this role, he oversaw daily site operations, managed multi-disciplinary exploration teams, and contributed to both greenfields and resource definition campaigns. His leadership and operational oversight through this transformative period at De Grey underscore his ability to guide projects from early discovery toward development with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and stakeholder engagement.

RUA GOLD CEO, Robert Eckford, commented, “On behalf of our board of directors and management team, I am pleased to welcome Emmett D’Urso as our new Vice President of Exploration. Emmett’s depth of experience working on analog deposits in the Bendigo-Ballarat region brings valuable insight directly applicable to our projects. His addition strengthens our technical team as we advance our portfolio, particularly in Reefton.

With Emmett on board, Simon Henderson, our COO, will be able to dedicate more time to driving forward our Glamorgan Project, where we expect to ramp up activities in Q4 2025. The ongoing expansion of our technical team with such high-caliber talent highlights both the strength of our projects and our commitment to unlocking their full potential.”

Option and DSU Grant

The Company granted 100,000 options (each, an “Option“) to Mr. D’Urso of the Company in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan dated July 24, 2024. Each Option is exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.78 per Common Share for five years following the date of grant. The Options are subject to a 3-year vesting period with 33,333 Options vesting on October 1, 2026, 33,333 Options vesting on October 1, 2027, and 33,334 Options vesting on October 1, 2028.

The Company also announces the grant of 140,778 deferred share units (“DSUs“) to non-executive directors of the Company at a deemed price of $0.70 per DSU, in accordance with the Company’s DSU Plan dated July 24, 2024. The DSUs are subject to a one-year vesting. Each DSU entitles the holder to receive one Common Share at the time the holder ceases to be a director of the Company.

New Marketing Agreement

The Company engaged Global One Media Group Pte. Ltd. (“Global One Media“) commencing October 1, 2025. Pursuant to the investor relations agreement, Global One Media has agreed to provide content development and digital marketing services. Global One Media is an investor-focused digital marketing firm and will assist the Company with its digital and social media influencer marketing efforts.

The term of the agreement with Global One Media (the “Global One Agreement“) commences on October 1, 2025 and ends March 31, 2026.

RUA GOLD Reports High-Grade Intercepts at Auld Creek, Including 17m @ 9.8g/t AuEq and 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq, Extending Strike of Current Resource

Highlights:

Auld Creek hosts an inferred resource contained within two mineralized shoots, Bonanza and Fraternal, which outcrop at surface. Recent drilling has increased the vertical extent of the resource from 160m to 300m and increased the strike length from 350m to 620m. The resource remains open in all directions, with every drill hole intersecting the structure.
Highlighted assay results show: ACDDH037: 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq1 (6.2g/t Au & 0.6% Sb) from 158m depth Including 5m @ 11.1 g/t AuEq1 (7.0g/t Au & 1.0% Sb) ACDDH039: 17m @ 9.8 AuEq1 (3.6g/t Au & 1.5% Sb) from 155m depth Including 10m @ 15.3 g/t AuEq1 (5.0g/t Au & 2.4% Sb)
Two rigs are currently drilling at Auld Creek, testing the Bonanza shoot in the north and the Fraternal shoot in the south. Surface soil geochemistry has confirmed the system can be traced over a 2.5km strike length.
The drilling program at the first Cumberland target, Gallant, has concluded after sixteen drill holes. Initial results were encouraging, identifying three correlated mineralized quartz veins; however, these have not demonstrated continuity on a larger scale due to structural complexity.
Regional Program: VRIFY AI modelling has guided target generation for regional exploration work >30km south of Reefton at Bell Hill (refer to Figure 6). Initial surface rock-chip sampling of outcropping quartz veins returned grades of 14.2 g/t and 14.3g/t Au. September 8, 2025

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 8, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing drilling campaign at the Reefton Project, located on the South Island of New Zealand. The Company reports additional high-grade gold-antimony intersections, identified 270 meters north along strike of the current resource estimate.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD, commented: “These drill results from Auld Creek have significantly expanded the scale and potential of the project, advancing us toward our goal of growing the resource base as outlined last month. Importantly, the mineralized system has now been extended both vertically and along strike, and remains open in all directions. With two rigs currently active on site and surface geochemistry confirming a 2.5-kilometre-long mineralized corridor, we are well positioned to build on this momentum.

At Cumberland, initial drilling identified well-mineralized quartz veins; however, the structural complexity has limited continuity on a broader scale. We will maintain a disciplined approach to prioritizing our targets and undertake further surface work before resuming drilling here.

Meanwhile, our regional exploration program is off to an encouraging start, with AI-assisted targeting and early rock-chip sampling returning grades of up to 14g/t gold more than 30km south of Reefton. These results highlight the scale of the opportunity as we work to unlock the full potential of the Reefton Goldfield.”

AULD CREEK

RUA GOLD commenced drilling at Auld Creek in December 2024, with a targeted program designed to test four mineralised shoots identified through historical surface exploration and reinforced by this year’s geochemical surveys and geological mapping.

Auld Creek is situated between two past-producing operations – the Globe Progress Mine and the Crushington Group of mines – which collectively produced 933,000oz at an average grade of 14.0g/t Au (Barry 1993). The current resource at Auld Creek is limited to two of the four known shoots, while soil geochemistry indicates strong potential for additional discoveries along a 2.5km strike length.

Since the Company’s last update, seven holes (ACDDH033-039) have been completed, all of which intercepted the mineralized structure.

Assay results show:

ACDDH033: 4.2m 1.27g/t Au from 264m depth
ACDDH035: 2m 1.99g/t Au from 127m depth
ACDDH036: 6m 0.88g/t Au from 84m depth
ACDDH037: 8m 8.9g/t AuEq2 (6.2g/t Au & 0.6% Sb) from 158m depth
ACDDH038: 3.5m 1.2g/t Au from 109m depth
ACDDH039: 17m 9.8 AuEq2 (3.6g/t Au & 1.5% Sb) from 155m depth

ACDDH034 incepted the Bonanza shoot but there was no significant mineralization.

Drilling from the current campaign has extended the Fraternal shoot to more than 300m in vertical depth and 620m along strike, providing strong evidence of resource expansion potential ahead of the planned NI 43-101 resource update at year-end.

A second drill rig was mobilized in September. One rig is focused on testing the northern extent of Bonanza and infilling drill spacing along strike at Fraternal, while the second rig targets the southern extent of Fraternal.

CUMBERLAND

The Cumberland Mine Belt is 2.2 kilometer-long target, defined by strong arsenic soil geochemistry, located south of the Globe-Progress Mine. Drilling commenced in April 2025, focusing on the northern section, the Gallant Lode. The first two holes (CUDDH001 and CUDDH002) intersected 25m of mineralization, marking a strong start to the exploration of this historic mine camp. However, in subsequent holes the mineralization pinched out around 100m depth. In total, 16 holes have now been drilled at Cumberland this year, for a total of 2,370m (refer to Figure 5 below).

Drilling on this target has been paused while the team undertakes additional surface exploration work on the southern section of the Cumberland Gold Belt.

REGIONAL

RUA GOLD has utilized VRIFY AI modelling to guide target generation in its southern regional exploration program. At the Bell Hill permit, located 34km south of Reefton, follow-up work identified two outcropping quartz veins.

Rock-chip samples from these outcrops returned assays of 14.3g/t Au (see Figure 6). Channel sampling of the outcrops has been completed, with assays pending.

Reefton Goldfield Exploration Overview

The Reefton Goldfield is an orogenic district that produced 2Moz of gold at grades up to 50g/t up to the early 1900s. RUA GOLD has assembled 120,000 hectares within this district that has seen limited drilling in the last 30 years. This goldfield is analogous in age, geology, mineralization style, and geological structure to that of Southern Cross Gold and the Fosterville Gold mine.

Auld Creek: RUA GOLD commenced drilling at Auld Creek in December 2024 and has completed ~2,800 metres of drilling. The targeted program aims to add a further 4,000 metres of drilling across four mineralised shoots identified from surface exploration work (Figure 1). Following this, the resource will be refreshed and updated into the 43-101 report.

The Company is targeting an increase of the Auld Creek resource to over 300,000 gold-equivalent ounces by the end of 2025. This target is a global estimate based on current resource surface extension of 350 metres being extended over a 1km on surface at similar depths of 280 metres. Insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource has been completed to date and there is uncertainty if a mineral resource estimate will be delineated, therefore economic decisions should not be made on this target.

Auld Creek is situated between two past producing mines, Globe Progress mine, and the Crushington Group of mines which collectively produced 933,000oz at 14.0g/t Au (Barry 1993).

Cumberland: Initial drilling from RUA GOLD confirms the consistency of the near-surface gold mineralization and supports the strong potential of this target. Ongoing drilling is targeting the southern surface extension 100m along strike and at depth. Intensified surface exploration is underway to delineate additional drill targets along the 2.5 km long gold mineralized shear zone.

Additional targets are currently being modelled and surveyed across the Reefton Goldfield, including Caledonia in the north, and Alexander River in the south. Caledonia represents a historical mine recording the highest grade production (9 oz/ton gold) in the Reefton Goldfield. It was abandoned early and represents a shallow development target.

“The first crushing yielded at the rate of 9 oz. per ton, with subsequent crushings averaging about 4 oz. per ton. The ore-shoot had a steep easterly dip, and pitched to the north at about 30°. It had an average length of about 180 ft. and a width of 3 ft.” * Henderson 1917.

Alexander River returned historical production of 41Koz @ 26g/t Au, mining ceasing in 1942 due to WWII. Mineralization outcrops over 1.2kms, comprises high-grade quartz reefs and disseminated sulfides; predecessor Siren Gold drilled extensively along the structure, and intersected some exceptionally high-grade zones which remain open at depth (Figure 2 Alexander River long-section schematic).

An Inferred Resource 130koz @ 4.1g/t Au* has potential to develop along strike and at depth, remodeling and further drilling is a priority of the strategic plan.

*NI 43 101 Technical Report on the Reefton Project, New Zealand. Prepared for Rua Gold Inc, 30 October 2024.

Glamorgan Exploration Overview

Glamorgan on the North Island is an exciting new epithermal gold target. RUA GOLD has completed extensive surface exploration over the past 12 months as a precursor to drill targeting. Four significant gold-arsenic soil anomalies trending north, north-east and north-northwest strike out individually over 4 kms in length. Drill applications have now been submitted and drilling is expected to commence in Q4 2025.

Results from the work to date indicate the classic features of a major epithermal gold-silver system and are identical to the surface features of neighboring OceanaGold Project, Wharekirauponga, which is currently in New Zealand’s Fast Track Permitting process with a decision expected in Q4 2025.

Importantly, RUA GOLD’s Chief Operating Officer, Simon Henderson was a member of the exploration team that led to the discovery of Wharekirauponga and has more the 25 years working in the region.

RUA GOLD Reports Auld Creek Drilling Results Including 2.1m @ 64g/t AuEq Intersected 120m Below the Current Resource, Demonstrating Significant and Open-Ended Depth Potential

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 16, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on its gold-antimony exploration at the Auld Creek project in the Reefton Goldfield on the South Island of New Zealand, reporting further high-grade gold-antimony intersections 120 meters below the current resource estimate.

Highlights:

Auld Creek has an inferred resource hosted by two ore shoots, Bonanza and Fraternal. This resource outcrops at surface. The latest drilling increases the vertical extent of the resource from 160m to 280m and remains open at depth.
Following up on the encouraging high-grade gold-antimony results from drillholes ACDDH026-028; holes ACDDH030-33 intersected excellent high-grade mineralization with continuity of the strong gold-stibnite (antimony sulfide) mineralization previously reported.
Assay results show: ACDDH031: 2.1m @ 64.0g/t AuEq1 (5.5g/t Au & 13.1% Sb) from 310m depth ACDDH032: 2m @ 1.4g/t Au from 296m depth
Current drilling is testing the Fraternal north prospect and Bonanza northeast prospect, where surface soil geochemistry has confirmed the system is traceable over a 2.5km length.
Drilling in the second quarter will then probe further at depth and test its extent southward with the goal of growing the current resource.
Antimony is in rising demand due to its vital role in renewable energy, batteries, defense, and technology. Its supply is scarce and largely controlled by China, Russia, and Tajikistan, making it a strategic material, especially during geopolitical tensions, which has caused prices to surge from US$11,350 to over US$60,000 per tonne.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD commented: “This is an exciting development to see high-grade gold-antimony mineralization at Auld Creek that is 120m deeper than the current resource. Proving out continuity at depth and growing this resource will be a key focus of drilling in the next quarter, while simultaneously drilling the Cumberland-Galant deposit 3km to the south.

We continue to be focused on expanding the Auld Creek resource both north, south and at depth, with intensified surface exploration showing early promise in identifying additional mineralization over its 2.5km length.

With Antimony being at the top of every nations’ critical minerals lists, the importance of this resource growth to both RUA GOLD and New Zealand is significant.”

GLOBAL SUPPLY AND VALUE OF ANTIMONY

Antimony is a critical metalloid primarily sourced from the mineral, stibnite. It is highly valuable and increasing in demand due to its versatility and has essential applications across renewable energy, liquid battery metals, defence and technological sectors.

Due to its limited supply, predominantly controlled by China, Russia & Tajikistan, antimony is considered a strategic material essential for supply chain security, particularly during periods of geopolitical instability. This was heightened in September 2024, when China announced export controls on processed antimony products. In response to these controls, nations have accelerated their efforts to secure alternative sources of antimony to mitigate the risk of significant supply chain vulnerabilities.

The US, EU, UK, Japan, Canada and Australia all designate antimony as a critical mineral. On January 31, 2025, New Zealand also announced their Critical Mineral List which included antimony.

Reflecting heightened demand, the price of antimony has reached new highs, currently trading over US$60,000 per tonne, a significant increase from US$11,350 per tonne at the start of 2024. This market shift has intensified interest in the strategic antimony potential held by RUA GOLD.

EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

RUA GOLD commenced drilling at Auld Creek in December 2024. It has a targeted program to drill four mineralised shoots identified from historical surface exploration work interpreted by the RUA GOLD team over the past 3 months.

Auld Creek is situated between two past producing mines, Globe Progress mine, and the Crushington Group of mines which collectively produced 933,000oz at 14.0g/t Au (Barry 1993). Auld Creek has three historic adits but no commercial production from the reefs.

RUA GOLD has an inferred resource indicating 700,000 tonnes at 3.1g/t Au and 1.1% Sb for 67,000oz of gold and 8,000 tonnes of antimony1 (AuEq 110,000oz2). The resource is restricted to two of the four known shoots. Soil geochemistry indicates the potential for discovery of additional mineralised shoots over a strike length of 2.5km.

Four of the eight holes completed to date intersected 4-5m of strong visible stibnite (antimony sulfide) mineralization in the Fraternal-Bonanza structure.

Results from ACDDH024, ACDDH025 confirm the approximate average gold grades, but report higher antimony grades than the current resource estimate. Results from ACDDH027, ACDDH028 highlight above average gold grades with narrow but high-grade antimony in ACDDH028.

Drilling of ACDDH030,31,32 and 33 (results pending, but structure intercepted) provide strong evidence of the continuity of the Fraternal gold-antimony structure at depth, and the narrow high-grade intersection of ACDDH031 has confirmed resource grade mineralization and continuity with the previously reported drilling of holes ACDDH027 and ACDDH028.

Intensified surface exploration is showing very encouraging strong trends both north and north-west confirming additional targets on the Fraternal North and Bonanza north-west extensions.

1. Please see the Company’s technical report entitled, “Technical Report on Reefton Project, New Zealand”, dated October 30, 2024.
2. Based on gold equivalent formula of AuEq = Au g/t + 1.9 x Sb% using a Au price of US$2025/oz, Sb price of US$15,000 per tonne and 85% recovery.

RUA GOLD Reports High-Grade, near Surface Gold Intercepts at Cumberland, Including 1m @ 26.9 g/t Au (within a Broader Intercept of 14m at 3.4 g/t) and 1m @ 16.2 g/t Au, Confirming Continuity of Mineralization at the Gallant Target

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce initial drill results from the Cumberland gold camp at the Reefton Project on New Zealand’s South Island.

In the first month of drilling, the initial two holes intersected near-surface, high-grade gold mineralization. These results validate the prospective targets identified through VRIFY ‘s AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, DORA. Drilling is ongoing and continues to build on these encouraging early results, with systematic testing progressing southward along the 2.2 km historic mine corridor.

Highlights:

Significant broad quartz veins were intersected in drillholes CUDDH001 and CUDDH002, defining true widths of the main Gallant vein ranging from 5m to 9m. These results are consistent with historical intersections reported by OceanaGold Limited.
Assay results show: CUDDH001: 3m @ 6.3g/t Au from 44m depth Including 1m @ 16.2g/t Au CUDDH002: 14m @ 3.4g/t Au from 64m depth Including 1m @ 26.9g/t Au

Historical drilling by prior operators targeting the Gallant structure intercepted 20.7m of quartz with individual 1m assays ranging from 0.15g/t gold to 1911g/t gold (60oz/t).
Drilling has confirmed discrete zones of high-grade gold mineralization hosted by quartz veins, accompanied by a broad halo of lower-grade gold from surface to a depth of 80m.
The visible gold within quartz is reminiscent of the style and size of Federation’s Blackwater Project, 11km to the south.
The geological team have relocated the drill rig to a new pad situated 100m south of the initial drill pad. 6 holes of depths ranging from 70m to 180m are planned, where surface mapping has identified quartz veins extending 200m southward.
Steeply dipping quartz veins with continuity from surface contributes to significantly lower drilling and development costs, supporting efficient advancement towards a resource.
The Cumberland structural zone was identified as a standout target using the VRIFY AI tool. Subsequent drilling will systematically test the 2.2km Cumberland gold camp, with a focus on high-priority targets identified by the VRIFY AI tool.

The Cumberland gold camp is a historic site located 3km south of Globe-Progress Mine, which has a rich production history of over 1 million ounces of gold produced. Drilling of the Gallant target within the Cumberland gold camp began in April 2025. The first two holes, CUDDH001 and CUDDH002, intersected 25m of mineralization, marking a strong start to the exploration of the gold camp.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD, commented, “We acquired the Cumberland gold camp in November 2024 and received access agreements to commence drilling in April 2025. From the very first drill holes, we intersected significant, wide quartz veins hosting high-grade gold, confirming historical intercepts. This marks an exciting start, validating the effectiveness of the VRIFY AI targeting process and confirming near-surface mineralization with the potential to extend the envelope of known mineralization across a 2km structural zone.

Our focus is on developing economically viable ounces, and the Gallant target is a key part of this strategy. Fully accessible via a road, the Gallant target has logistical simplicity for both exploration and potential development. Achieving high-grade, near-surface intercepts at this early stage is a significant milestone in demonstrating the viability of our hub-and-spoke business model that we envisage for the Reefton Goldfield.

The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY target that we have drilled so far. This structure is traceable on surface for over 600m and remains largely untested along strike and at depth. These initial results are an encouraging step in defining the potential shape and size of this target.”

RESULTS FROM INITIAL DRILLING

Based on the extensive surface exploration work and historical drilling, the Gallant target within the Cumberland gold camp stands out as an exceptional high-grade target. Following the completion of mining at the Globe-Progress Mine, the Gallant target was left largely untested. Quartz veins are exposed on surface within an envelope of strong gold-arsenic anomalism.

The Gallant lode was previously drilled by OceanaGold Limited 15 years ago, with several exploratory holes drilled on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth (Table 5 and Figure 2).

Results from drill holes CUDDH001 and CUDDH002 confirm the consistency of the near-surface Galant lode and support the strong potential of this target, following up the historical hole GAL001 drilled by OceanaGold Limited, which resulted in 20.7m @ 62.2 g/t (2 oz/t) Au. Full assay results are in Tables 1 and 2 of the appendices.

Drill hole CUDDH003, drilled to the north, intercepted a 2m quartz vein, but did not intersect the main vein, and similarly, drill hole CUDDH004 did not intersect the quartz, suggesting the structure steepens and is potentially offset to the north. Drill hole CUDDH005 intercepted historical workings with remanent quartz veins in the foot and hanging wall, confirming the continuity of the veins southward. Assays are pending for drill hole CUDDH007.

Ongoing drilling is targeting the southern surface extension of the Gallant lode 100m along strike and at depth. Intensified surface exploration is underway further south to delineate additional drill targets along the southern extensions of the structure.

VRIFY’S AI-ASSISTED MINERAL DISCOVERY PLATFORM

The Company has partnered with VRIFY to onboard DORA, their AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform to accelerate discovery, reduce costs and further de-risk exploration.

In conjunction with the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield in November 2024, the Company implemented DORA, where early in the AI training phase, the platform identified Cumberland as a standout target. The VRIFY team has assimilated geochemistry, drilling and geophysical data across the entire district with unprecedented scale and accuracy, processing over 84GB of data, and more than 170,000 data points. This comprehensive analysis is directly informing our 2025 drill targets, accelerating our project advancement and de-risking our work programs.

RUA GOLD’s data was unlocked through DORA, VRIFY’s Al-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform which synthesized complex datasets in minutes, a process that would have taken months, if performed manually. This enabled RUA GOLD’s exploration team to actively and effectively rank its 2025 drill targets using data-backed insights.

ACCELERATED DISCOVERY: RUA GOLD inherited thousands of data points from historic activity on its multiple mine sites and exploration work with the Reefton Goldfields. The ability to rapidly mine this existing data for new insights and targets, while incorporating recent work, provided real-time feedback through VRIFY’s platform to inform drilling programs.

SCALABILITY and COST SAVINGS: RUA GOLD is just beginning and is confident that VRIFY will continue to add value by allowing for the analysis of larger datasets without increasing costs linearly.

HIGHER ACCURACY: VRIFY’s proprietary Al model reduces human error and bias, while and identifying patterns that manual review might miss, increasing discovery potential.

QAQC Drill Core Samples

Drillhole collar locations were recorded using a Garmin GPSMAP 66i by RUA GOLD staff. Downhole surveys were completed for each drillhole at 30m intervals by using a GYRO system by the drill contractor Alton Drilling.

Drillholes were split sampled following 1-m sample intervals unless sample contacts are dictated by mineralization. PQ and HQ core were sampled as half core. NQ core was analyzed as whole core; requiring cutting only along sample intervals.

Drill core samples were sent to SGS Westport for sample preparation. Core was crushed to 75% passing 2 mm (SGS code CRU75), and a 1-kg split of material was pulverized (to 85% passing 75 µm; SGS code PUL85_CR). No split duplicates were collected during the crushing steps. Two scoops were taken from the pulverize bowl: one for laboratory analysis (~150 g) and the other for pXRF analysis (~100 g). The pulp reject is stored at RUA GOLD’s Reefton facility.

Coarse gold intersections were sampled in full, dried and dispatched to ALS Perth, Australia, for PhotonAssay analysis. Samples were coarse crushed at ALS Perth (ALS code CRU-21) and ~500 g of material used for analysis.

QAQC PHOTON ASSAYING

Samples were analyzed by PhotonAssay at ALS Perth, Australia (ALS code Au-PA01), which has a detection range of 0.03-350 ppm Au. PhotonAssay analysis works by bombarding samples with high-energy X-rays which excite atomic nuclei that produce gamma rays at signature energies, allowing for gold detection. This method has a fast turnaround time and is non-destructive, allowing the preservation of the entire whole-core and unlimited repeat testing. Samples were submitted with certified reference material (CRM) from OREAS into the sample stream every 5 samples.

ALS Perth is independent of RUA GOLD and its quality management systems framework is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 or certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards.

The QP has verified the data disclosed including sampling, assay procedure and analytical information contained in the written disclosure.

RUA GOLD Completes the Second Phase of Surface Exploration and Drill Targeting at the Glamorgan Project, New Zealand

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 13, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A4010V) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of the second phase of surface exploration on its Glamorgan Project, an epithermal gold system in the Hauraki Goldfield, North Island, New Zealand.

The Hauraki Goldfield is a major epithermal gold province, with over 50 historic mines having produced more than 15 million ounces of gold. The Glamorgan Project lies adjacent to OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga deposit, with Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.4Moz at 17.9 g/t Au and is scheduled to enter construction in the second half of 20251.

Highlights:

The Company has completed its second phase of surface exploration, identified initial drill targets, and will submit its Access Agreement application at the end of May.
Results indicate classic features of a major epithermal gold-silver system and are identical to the surface features of neighboring OceanaGold Project, Wharekirauponga.
Four significant gold-arsenic soil anomalies trending north, north-east and north-northwest strike out individually over 4 kms in length.
Rock chip samples containing up to 43 g/t Au highlight specific targets for evaluation, coincident with the intersection of two gold-arsenic soil anomalies.
TerraSpec soil and clay mineralogy has identified a zonal clay distribution that reflects high-level epithermal alteration coincident with gold anomalism.
Ground-based geophysics Controlled-source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) has identified three major resistive structures coincident with surface alteration and gold mineralization. These resistive structures may represent pervasive silica-quartz at depth – key criteria for targeting the drilling within a major epithermal gold system.
All of the above results are being uploaded to the VRIFY AI-platform, where geological modelling is starting to assist in the systematic identification and ranking of drill targets.

Simon Henderson, COO of RUA GOLD, commented: “This comprehensive, district-wide surface work has provided valuable new information, highlighting not just one, but three significant zones of potential mineralization for drill testing. These targets will be included in the Access Agreement for drilling, which is scheduled for submission at the end of May 2025.

Following detailed surface geological mapping, comprehensive soil geochemistry, specialist clay mineralogy, ultra-high resolution UAV magnetics, and proven depth-penetrating CSAMT geophysics, three significant zones have emerged as high-potential targets for drill testing. High-grade rock chip samples further support the potential to discover a major epithermal gold-silver vein system.

Results from this inaugural district-wide program are now streaming in and are being compiled, reviewed and actively prioritized in partnership with the VRIFY AI-platform to confirm and prioritize the drill program. The exploration team is excited to advance to the drilling phase of this unique and prospective target area.”

Program Overview

Exploration activities – including extensive geological mapping, TerraSpec clay mineralogy, and ultra detailed magnetic and resistivity surveys – have focused on four major alteration cells that envelope these structures. These cells are directly associated with surface quartz veins, platy quartz after calcite, quartz-adularia minerals, and sinter-like textures, all indicative of the high levels of an epithermal gold-silver system.

The principle components of the surface work are detailed below.

Geological Mapping

Exploration in the first quarter of 2025 included the completion of geological mapping across the major drainages within the Glamorgan prospect, along with detailed examination of areas exhibiting intense alteration and mineralization identified in Stage 1. The Company also completed follow-up testing of the significant gold grades (8-43.1 g/t Au) previously reported in rock float and insitu rock samples (reported on January 25, 2025). Additional rock chip sampling (2-8 g/t Au) has identified key areas proximal to resistive zones and high-level clay alteration.

TerraSpec Clay Mineralogy

A TerraSpec 4 High-Res portable spectrometer was used to analyze all soil and rock-chip samples, as well as available historical drill core. The hyperspectral reflectance data collected were interpreted using the cloud-based AI software program, aiSIRIS.

Anomaly A trends north-northwest for 4.2 kms with conjugate gold-arsenic trends extending in a northeast direction (Anomalies C and D). Montmorillonite clays mirror this anomaly, indicating strong structural control on fluid flow along this trend.
Anomaly B trends northerly, following north to northeasterly quartz veins mapped over 4 kms that remain open to the north and south. The southern end of this anomaly coincides with historical mine workings. This anomaly is highlighted by strong illite clay alteration enveloping quartz-calcite veins observed in mapping.
Anomalies C and D trend northeast, parallel to insitu quartz veining in the Phoenix Stream (Anomaly C), and silica-clay alteration along Wires Ridge (Anomaly D) (Figure 2).

Magnetics
Ultra detailed UAV magnetics flown by the RUA GOLD team highlight strong alteration (de-magnetization of the host rocks) enveloping the four anomalies and demonstrating a major alteration cell indicative of a significant epithermal system.

Resistivity
A CSAMT survey was completed in February 2025 by the RUA GOLD team. CSAMT is particularly effective at detecting ground resistivities to depths of several hundred meters, which can be interpreted to represent strong silicification and quartz veining when directly related to an area of intense alteration.

The survey identified several major, deep structures that align with features previously identified by UAV magnetics, gold-arsenic geochemistry anomalies, and mapped quartz veins, silicification and clay alteration (Figure 3).

Glamorgan Exploration Overview

Following grant of a drone concessions in May 2024, and minimum impact exploration in July 2024, RUA GOLD’s exploration commenced with UAV ultra detailed magnetic surveying completing 590-line kms of flying using Geometrics MagArrow magnetometer suspended under a DJI M300 drone. Interpretation of the data has assisted in defining key aspects of lithology and alteration of the Whitianga Group rhyolites, and Coromandel Group andesites. Major structural elements are interpreted in the data aligning with regional mineralization trends.

Soil sampling commenced in July 2024 sampling along 250m spaced crosslines with a sample spacing of 20m. 3181 samples were collected, dried, sieved in RUA GOLD’s Waihi facility, then transported to Reefton for pXRF analysis. Each sample was also scanned using a TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer to complete a picture of clay/alteration system enabling identification of the higher levels of the epithermal system. 50gms of soil was then freighted to ALS Brisbane for low-level precision gold assay. Arsenic anomalism with coincident gold anomalism highlights the four major soil anomalies A-D (Figure 2).

Anomaly A trends North north-west for 4.2 kms with conjugate gold-arsenic trends in a north-east direction. This anomaly remains open to the northeast. This north-east direction mirrors the orientation of the significant Wharekirauponga gold deposit 3 kms southeast of the Glamorgan permit.

Anomaly B trends northerly and follows north to northeasterly quartz veins mapped over 4 kms and open to the north and south. The southern end of this anomaly coincides with the Wentworth/Auckland historical mine workings.

Ultra detailed UAV magnetics flown by the RUA GOLD team highlights strong alteration (de-magnetization of the host rocks) enveloping the two anomalies and demonstrating a major alteration cell indicative of the footprint of a major epithermal system.

Field mapping (ongoing) has highlighted broad alteration and veining in situ, and areas of quartz-adularia float displaying banded, platy quartz after calcite, and brecciated andesite with stockwork veining increasing toward the zones of interest. Rock sampling both float and in situ sampling has returned encouragingly anomalous gold (refer to Table 2 in the appendix below), coincident with the zones of high soil geochemistry.

Mr. Henderson has participated in the geophysical, sampling, and mapping programs to verify that they have been conducted in accordance with the standard operating procedures. Mr. Henderson has verified the data disclosed by running checks on the location, analytical, and test data underlying the information in the technical disclosure herein.

QA/QC SOIL SAMPLES

A bulk sample of ~0.5-1 kg was collected in the field. Each sample was photographed in the field alongside the GPS with coordinates visible and each sample site marked in the field with biodegradable flagging tape. Samples were taken back to RUA GOLD’s Waihi facility for preparation. Samples were dried in a customized incubator, set at 38°C, for a minimum of two days. Once the samples were fully dried, they were sieved to <180µm in size. A sub-sample of 50-100g was scooped from the <180 µm size fraction for analysis. The remaining material was retained and stored in Waihi.

The 50-100-g fine-sieved (<180µm) soil sub-sample was sent to RUA GOLD’s Reefton facility for pXRF using an Olympus Vanta hand-held analyser, and then on to ALS Geochemistry, Brisbane, for Au-TL43 analysis. The ALS analysis consisted of 25-g sample digestion by aqua regia, followed by trace Au analysis by ICP-MS. The detection limit for Au by this method is 1ppb. ALS Brisbane is independent to RUA GOLD.

Field duplicates were collected every 20th sample and underwent the same drying, sieving, pXRF, and gold assay process outlined above. Duplicates were checked and validated by RUA GOLD’s Isogonal data validation system to ensure compliance.

QA/QC ROCK-CHIP SAMPLES

Rock-chip samples were collected in the field during routine mapping and soil sampling. The location of each sample was recorded in the field with a Garmin GPSMAP 66i and details of the samples recorded in a notebook or mapping application. Samples were photographed and sent to SGS Waihi for sample preparation. Sample information was entered into .csv files and uploaded to an SQL database.

The 50 g sub-samples were analysed by AAS after fire assay at SGS Waihi (SGS code FAA505). Detection values for this method are 0.01-100 ppm Au.

SGS is independent to RUA GOLD and its laboratories are accredited to applicable ISO/IEC 17025 standards.

RUA GOLD Expands High-Grade Intercepts at Depth at Auld Creek: 5.9g/t AuEq over 9m and 48.3g/t AuEq over 1.25m

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 16, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on its gold-antimony exploration at the Auld Creek project in the Reefton Goldfield on the South Island of New Zealand, reporting improved gold grades from current drilling in diamond drillholes ACDDH026, ACDDH027, ACDDH028.

Highlights:

Following up on the last high grade results from the Company, the next holes intersected broader zones of gold in hole ACDDH027 and narrow but strong gold-stibnite (antimony sulphide) mineralization in ACDDH028.
Assay results show:
- ACDDH026: 2.1m @ 1.25g/t Au from 175m depth
- ACDDH027: 9m @ 5.9g/t AuEq¹ (5.2g/t Au & 0.16% Sb) from 159m depth
- ACDDH028: 1.25m @ 48.3g/t AuEq¹ (13.3g/t Au & 8.1% Sb) from 210m depth
ACDD024,025 confirmed higher grade antimony mineralisation on the Fraternal shoot, the recent drilling ACDDH27,28 indicates an improvement in gold grade with depth.
The gold grades on the Fraternal shoot plunge to the south, current drilling is testing 80-100m below the current resource envelope, before pivoting to testing the northerly extensions of the Fraternal ore body.
Auld Creek has an inferred resource hosted by two ore shoots, Bonanza and Fraternal. This resource outcrops at surface and is continuous to 160m vertically and open at depth.
Surface soil geochemistry strongly endorses extensions to the Fraternal north prospect and Bonanza northeast prospect, confirming the system is traceable over a 2.5km length.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD commented: “It is encouraging to see an improvement in gold grades with depth on the Fraternal lode, and the continuation of high-grade antimony accompanying the gold in narrow plunging shoots.

Drilling to date on Auld Creek antimony-gold prospect has increased confidence in the existing gold-antimony resource and highlighted higher-grade plunging shoots that remain open to the south. We are focused on expanding the Auld Creek resource both north and south, with intensified surface exploration showing early promise in identifying additional mineralization over its 2.5km length.”

GLOBAL SUPPLY AND VALUE OF ANTIMONY

Due to its limited supply, predominantly controlled by China, Russia & Tajikistan, antimony is considered a strategic material essential for supply chain security, particularly during periods of geopolitical instability. This was heightened in August 2024, when China announced export controls on processed antimony products. In response to these controls, nations have accelerated their efforts to secure alternative sources of antimony to mitigate the risk of significant supply chain vulnerabilities.

The US, EU, UK, Japan, Canada and Australia all designate antimony as a critical mineral. On January 31, 2025, New Zealand also announced their Critical Mineral List which included antimony.

Reflecting heightened demand, the price of antimony has reached new highs, currently trading over US$50,000 per tonne, a significant increase from US$11,350 per tonne at the start of 2024. This market shift has intensified interest in the strategic antimony potential held by RUA GOLD.

EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

RUA GOLD has an inferred resource at Auld Creek indicating 700,000 tonnes at 3.1g/t Au and 1.1% Sb for 67,000oz of gold and 8,000 tonnes of antimony² (AuEq 110,000oz³). The resource is restricted to two of the four known shoots. Soil geochemistry indicates the potential for discovery of additional mineralised shoots over a strike length of 2.5km.

Four of the eight holes completed to date intersected 4-5m of strong visible stibnite (antimony sulfide) mineralization in the Fraternal-Bonanza structure.

Ongoing drilling is targeting the southern plunging Fraternal gold-antimony shoot which remains open along strike and at depth.

Intensified surface exploration is showing very encouraging strong trends both north and north-west confirming additional targets on the Fraternal North and Bonanza north-west extensions.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

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 participated in the geochemical sampling, and mapping programs to verify that they have been conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures. Mr. Henderson has verified the data disclosed by running checks on the location, analytical, and test data underlying the information in the technical disclosure herein.

QA/QC Drill Core

Rock samples were sent to SGS Laboratories, Westport for sample preparation. Samples were crushed and pulverized to 85% passing 75 µm. The pulverized rock-chips were split into two samples: a ~50 g sent for laboratory analysis, and the reject returned to RGL for pXRF analysis and storage. Pulverized rock-chip samples were analyzed for gold (Au) by 50-g fire assay with AAS finish at SGS Waihi (SGS Code FAA505); and for antimony (Sb) by Sodium Peroxide Fusion Analysis by ICP-MS at SGS Waihi.

QA/QC Soil Samples

Pre-planned soil sampling points on a 20 m x 100 m grid were loaded onto a handheld GPS for guidance. A spade was used to acquire a ~1.0 kg sample from the C horizon, which was put in a wet-strength paper sample bag with wire ties. Sample information was logged in a notebook in the field, including sample ID, depth, color, horizon, slope, sample description, sampler, basement, and comments. Each sample was photographed in the field alongside the GPS with coordinates visible and each sample site marked in the field with biodegradable flagging tape. Samples were taken back to RUA GOLD’s Reefton facility for preparation. The sample information was entered on.csv files and uploaded to an SQL database.

Samples were dried in a customized incubator, set at 38°C, for a minimum of two days. Once the samples were fully dried, they were sieved to <180µm in size. A sub-sample of 30-50g was scooped from the <180 µm size fraction for analysis. The remaining material was retained and stored in Reefton. The fine-sieved (<180µm) soil sub-sample was first analyzed in RUA GOLD’s Reefton facility using a Olympus Vanta pXRF analyzer; and then on to ALS Brisbane, Australia, for low-level gold analysis using Au-TL43; trace level Au by aqua regia extraction with ICP-MS finish. Detection limit 1 ppb Au.

Field duplicates were collected every 20th sample and underwent the same sample collection and preparation process outlined above. Duplicates were checked and validated by RUA GOLD’s Isogonal data validation system to ensure compliance.

RUA GOLD Begins Drilling at Cumberland Target in the Reefton Goldfield, Following up on a 20.7m Intercept of 62g/t (2oz/t) Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 3, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to advise the commencement of drilling at the Cumberland gold camp drill target. This builds upon the integration of the VRIFY AI targeting and ranking process with RUA’s extensive geological database, as well as the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield – an orogenic gold and antimony belt on the South Island of New Zealand.

Highlights:

The geological team have defined an initial drill program for 6 holes of depths ranging from 70m to 150m to be drilled from the first pad to define the structure of the Gallant lode.
Targets are following up on high grade historical intercepts that are at very shallow depths ranging from 30m to 60m.
Subsequent drilling will then systematically test the remainder of the Cumberland gold camp targeting the 7 historic mines in a 2.2km long north-northwest trending zone of quartz veins and shearing.
Historical drilling targeting the Gallant structure drilled 20.7m of quartz with individual 1m assays ranging from 0.15g/t gold to 1911g/t gold (60oz/t) using screen fire assay method.
Re-assaying the historical core using photon assay methods confirms the very high grade and nuggety nature of the gold mineralization.
Averaging the two sets of core assays confirm a 20.7m intersection assaying 62.2 g/t (2 oz/t) gold.
Modelling of the observed quartz veins and gold mineralisation intercepts interprets an 8m true width of the vein.
Initial drilling targets a 600m zone from the Gallant to the Sir Francis Drake historical workings (see figure 3 below), where quartz veins can be traced on surface in folded structurally complex greywacke-argillite host rocks.
The Cumberland structural zone has emerged as a standout target from the early stages of the Company application of the VRIFY AI tool.

RUA GOLD has completed drilling of the Victoria lode within the Murray Creek mine camp and is now focusing on the Cumberland gold camp, a historic site located 3km south of Globe-Progress Mine. The Globe-Progress Mine has a rich history of production, with over 1 million ounces of gold produced (424,000 ounces prior to 1950 and an additional 665,000 ounces produced between 2007 and 2015 under OceanaGold).

Simon Henderson, COO of RUA GOLD, commented, “The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY target to be drilled in 2025. With a history of compelling high-grade gold, it lies in structurally complex steeply folded sequence of rocks, is traceable on surface over 600m, and remains largely untested along strike and at depth. Located just 3km south of a major road and accessible via a 4WD track, Gallant has logistical simplicity for exploration and potential development.”

THE PLAN

Based on the extensive surface exploration work and historical drilling, the Gallant lode in the Cumberland gold camp stands out as an exceptional high-grade target. Abandoned without rigorous testing following the completion of the Globe-Progress mining, it features quartz veins outcropping on surface within an envelope of strong gold-arsenic anomalism.

The Gallant lode has several exploratory holes drilled by OceanaGold 15 years ago, on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth (Table 1 in the appendix; Figure 2). The Company has re-assayed the historical core using photon assay methods, which confirmed the very high grade and nuggety nature of gold mineralization. Averaging the two sets of core assays confirms a 20.7 m intersection assaying 62.2 g/t (2oz/t) gold, with a modelled true width of 8m. Core orientation clearly demonstrates that this intersection drilled down the quartz reef exaggerating its width but provides for a compelling and prospective target for immediate follow-up.

VRIFY’S AI PLATFORM

The Company has partnered with VRIFY to onboard VRIFY’s AI-assisted mineral discovery platform to accelerate discovery, reduce costs and further de-risk exploration.

In conjunction with the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield in November 2024, the Company implemented the VRIFY AI tool. Early in the AI training phase, Cumberland was identified as a standout target. The VRIFY team has assimilated geochemistry, drilling and geophysical data on an unprecedented scale and accuracy over the whole district, processing over 84GB of data, +170,000 data points, actively informing our 2025 drill targets for quicker project advancement and de-risking our work programs.

RUA GOLD’s data, unlocked through VRIFY’s Al-assisted mineral discovery platform. This AI-assisted data synthesis enabled RUA GOLD to actively and effectively rank its 2025 drill targets, accelerating its project advancement and de-risking its work programs in a matter of minutes, a process that would have taken months, if performed manually.

ACCELERATED DISCOVERY

RUA GOLD inherited thousands of data points from historic activity on its multiple mine sites and exploration work with the Reefton Goldfields. The ability to rapidly mine this existing data for new insights and targets, while incorporating recent work, provided real-time feedback through VRIFY’s platform to inform drilling programs.

SCALABILITY and COST SAVINGS

RUA GOLD is just beginning and is confident that VRIFY will continue to add value by allowing for the analysis of larger datasets without increasing costs linearly.

HIGHER ACCURACY

VRIFY’s proprietary Al model reduces human error and identifies patterns that manual review might miss, increasing discovery potential.

QAQC HISTORIC DRILLING (MR 5093)

RUA GOLD is treating the drill results as historic.

The QP has verified the data disclosed, including drill collar location, sampling and analytical information contained in the written disclosure,

Data was verified by examination of remaining core in the core-box; confirming intervals, core splitting and interval handling procedures and logged core descriptions matched original core logging.
Verified the core sampling and assay procedures by examining and confirming from the original assay certificates of SGS and ALS laboratories that the sample numbers recorded matched the sample intervals logged.
Verified from original assay certificates stated blanks and certified standards and duplicates were used and reported, and where deviations outside 2 standard deviations assays have been repeated.
Verified that suitable assay methodology for coarse gold was used by both laboratories SGS Reefton method FASC30T(screen fire assay) and ALS method Au-SCR22AA (screen fire assay).
The QP has verified in the zone of exceptionally high-grade gold values that gold is clearly visible in veinlets within a significant quartz vein.

The QAQC summarized from the OceanaGold report is as follows:

“Diamond drill samples were generally taken over 1 m intervals and cut in half. Half the core was then sent to SGS or ALS. Some of the significant reef samples were analyzed at the ALS laboratory in Townsville for rapid processing and the rest were analyzed at the SGS laboratory in Westport. Due to the large amount of quartz reef drilled in the first part of the program, a screen fire technique was introduced at SGS (FAS30T).

ALS Townsville preformed 1 kg screen fire assays (Au-SCR22AA) along with a standard fire assay procedure (Au-AA26). Diamond core submissions included at the minimum one blank and two certified standards and at least two lab duplicates taken after coarse crushing of the sample. If both standard assays from the same hole returned assay values outside two standard deviations of the actual value, the laboratory was requested to re-assay the job. Assays from dispatches RD131025.1 and RD131106.1 showed significant deviation from standards and checks. These two batches were re-assayed (RD131025.1R and RD131106.1R respectively).

All assay data was imported into the Reefton project acQuire database directly from laboratory reports.”

RUA GOLD Reports Significant Gold-Antimony Intercepts from Its Reefton Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 25, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on assay results from its gold-antimony exploration at the Auld Creek project, within the Reefton Goldfield on the South Island of New Zealand; reporting strong antimony grades from current drilling.

Highlights:

Drilling of Auld Creek commenced in December 2024, holes ACDD024 and ACDD025 intersected 4-5m of strong visible stibnite (antimony) mineralization.
Assay results show:
- ACDDH024: 12m @ 12.2g/t AuEq¹ (1.9g/t Au & 2.4% Sb) from 105m depth
  - Including 2m @ 54.8 g/t AuEq¹ (3.8g/t Au & 11.9% Sb)
- ACDDH025: 8m @ 13.2g/t AuEq¹ (2.2g/t Au & 2.2% Sb) from 106m depth
  - Including 3m @ 33.2g/t AuEq¹ (3.6g/t Au & 6.9% Sb)
Auld Creek has an inferred resource hosted by two ore shoots, Bonanza and Fraternal. This resource outcrops at surface and is continuous to 160m vertically and open at depth.
Drilling has confirmed higher grade antimony mineralisation on the Fraternal shoot within a broader lower grade gold halo. Modelling suggesting a gentle plunge to the south, remains open to the south along strike and at depth with drilling commencing to the south to expand the existing resource.
Surface exploration is intensifying to target extensions to the Fraternal and Bonanza north and south, where it remains open over a 2.5km length.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD commented: “The results from these two holes drilled at Auld Creek show increased antimony grades which is very encouraging. It further supports the fact that we are holders of New Zealand’s largest antimony resource and are delivering on the commitment to our shareholders to build on our inventory of gold ounces and antimony tonnes at our Reefton project.

Drilling to date on Auld Creek antimony-gold prospect has improved confidence in the existing resource and provided detail on higher grade plunging shoots open to the south. We are focused on expanding the Auld Creek resource north and south, with intensified surface exploration to assist targeting additional mineralization over its 2.5km surface strike length.

This comes on the back of both gold and antimony trading at all time high spot prices and both commodities being announced on New Zealand’s first ever critical minerals list.”

GLOBAL SUPPLY AND VALUE OF ANTIMONY

Antimony is a critical mineral sourced from stibnite (Sb₂S₃). In 2023, it was reported by the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) as one of the scarcest of all critical minerals. Spot prices have risen as demand increases with its essential input into applications across renewable energy, liquid battery metals, defence and technological sectors.

Due to its scarcity and limited supply, predominantly controlled by China, Russia & Tajikistan, antimony is considered a strategic material essential for supply-chain security, particularly during periods of geopolitical instability. This was heightened in August 2024, when China announced export controls on processed antimony products. In response to these controls, nations have accelerated their efforts to secure alternative sources of antimony to mitigate the risk of significant supply chain vulnerabilities.

The US, EU, UK, Japan, Canada and Australia all designate antimony as a critical mineral. On January 31, 2025, New Zealand also announced their Critical Mineral List which included antimony.

Reflecting heightened demand, the price of antimony continues to reach new highs, trading over US$50,000 per tonne, a significant increase from US$11,350 per tonne at the start of 2024.

EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

Auld Creek Focus

RUA GOLD has an inferred resource indicating 700,000 tonnes at 3.1g/t Au and 1.1% Sb for 67,000oz of gold and 8,000 tonnes of antimony². The resource is restricted to two of the four known shoots. Soil geochemistry indicates the potential for discovery of additional mineralised shoots over a strike length of 2.5km.

2. Please see the Company’s technical report entitled, “Technical Report on Reefton Project, New Zealand”, dated October 30, 2024.

Two of the four holes completed to date intersected 4-5m of strong visible stibnite (antimony sulfide) mineralization in the Fraternal-Bonanza structure. No significant mineralization was found in holes ACDDH022 and ACDDH023. Results from ACDDH024, ACDDH025 confirm the average gold grades of current resource estimate but report higher antimony grades. Full table of results are in Tables 1 and 2 of the appendices.

Ongoing drilling is targeting the southern plunging Fraternal gold-antimony shoot which remains open along strike and at depth.

Intensified surface exploration is focused both north and north-west to delineate drill targets on the Fraternal North and Bonanza north-west extensions.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

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 by running checks on the location, analytical, and test data underlying the information in the technical disclosure herein.

QA/QC Drill Core

Drillholes sampled following 1-m sample intervals unless geological contacts (i.e. dolerite intrusions) dictated otherwise. NQ core was analyzed as whole core; therefore, only requiring cutting along sample intervals. PQ and HQ core were sampled as half core.

Drill core samples were sent to SGS Westport for sample preparation. Core was crushed to 75% passing 2 mm, and 1-kg split of material was pulverized (to 85% passing 75 µm). No split duplicates were collected during the crushing steps. Two scoops were taken from the pulverize bowl: one for laboratory analysis (~150 g) and the other for pXRF analysis (~100 g). The pulp reject is stored in Reefton.

Pulverized drill core samples were analyzed by 50-g fire assay with AAS finish at SGS Waihi (SGS Code FAA505) and for antimony (Sb) by Sodium Peroxide Fusion Analysis by ICP-MS at SGS Waihi. The detection limit for Au by this method is 0.01 ppm. As part of SGS’ internal quality control, SGS conducted repeat analyses, also at a rate of ~5%.

RUA GOLD Reports Two Major Gold Bearing Structures Identified on Its Glamorgan Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 23, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update following the completion of the first phase of surface exploration on its Glamorgan epithermal gold prospect in the Hauraki region on the North Island New Zealand.

Highlights:

The Company tripled its land package that is directly adjacent to OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga project, which hosts 1.37Moz @ 17.88g/t Au (Ind)1 (Figure 1 & 2).
Identified two significant soil anomalies over 4kms in length, trending north, and north-northwest and open to the northeast and northwest.
Significant gold grades (8–43 ppm Au) were recorded in rock float and in situ rock samples from detailed geological mapping.
Ultra detailed UAV magnetics highlights strong alteration enveloping the two anomalies and demonstrating a major alteration cell indicative of a significant epithermal system.
CSAMT ground geophysics has commenced as a precursor to targeted diamond drilling.

Simon Henderson, COO of RUA GOLD commented: “successful exploration commences with sound geological mapping, detailed geochemistry and geophysical surveys, and the addition of some innovative science and technology to see the opportunity for a major epithermal gold discovery.

With the highly prospective geology of Wharekirauponga and Waihi, major gold deposits next door, our exploration team is highlighting the footprint of another potential significant epithermal gold-silver vein system. CSAMT ground resistivity mapping has commenced and will be the final detail needed to feed into the VRIFY AI tool and then rank drill targets on this exciting opportunity.”

EXPLORATION UPDATE

UAV Magnetic Surveying

Following the access granted in May 2024, RUA GOLD’s exploration commenced with UAV ultra detailed magnetic surveying, completing 590 line-km of flying using a Geometrics MagArrow magnetometer suspended under a DJI M300 drone. Interpretation of the data has assisted in defining key aspects of lithology and alteration of the Whitianga Group rhyolites and Coromandel Group andesites. Major structural features interpreted in the data align with regional mineralization trends.

Ultra detailed UAV magnetics flown by the exploration team highlights strong alteration (de-magnetization of the host rocks) enveloping the two anomalies and demonstrating a major alteration cell indicative of the footprint of a major epithermal system (Figure 3).

Soil Sampling

Soil sampling commenced in July 2024 along 250m spaced crosslines with a sample spacing of 20m. A total of 3,181 samples were collected, dried, sieved in RUA GOLD’s Waihi facility, then transported to Reefton and analyzed by pXRF in RUA GOLD’s Reefton laboratory.

Simultaneously, each sample was analyzed for short-wave near infrared (SWIR) reflectance spectrometry using a TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer with 6nm resolution to complete a picture of the clay alteration system, enabling identification of the higher levels of the epithermal system. A 50g split of soil was then freighted to ALS Brisbane for low-level precision gold assay. Arsenic anomalism with coincident gold anomalism highlights the two major soil anomalies A and B (Appendix table 1 and Figure 3).

Anomaly A trends north-northwest for 4.2km with conjugate gold-arsenic trends in a north-east direction. This anomaly remains open to the northwest. The northeast direction mirrors the orientation of the significant Wharekirauponga gold deposit adjacent to the Glamorgan Project.

Anomaly B trends northerly and follows north to northeasterly quartz veins mapped over 4km and is open to the north and south. The southern end of this anomaly coincides with the Wentworth/Auckland historical mine workings.

Field Mapping

Ongoing field mapping has highlighted broad alteration and veining in situ, and areas of quartz-adularia float displaying banded, platy quartz after calcite, as well as brecciated andesite with stockwork veining increasing toward the zones of interest. Both float and in situ rock-chip sampling have returned encouragingly anomalous gold (Appendix table 2), coincident with the zones of high soil geochemistry.

Geological mapping and CSAMT ground geophysical surveying will be completed in Q1 2025, allowing interpretation and drill targeting mid-year.

ABOUT GLAMORGAN

The Glamorgan Project lies within the Hauraki Goldfield, a major epithermal gold district, with over 50 historic mines and one operating mine (Waihi). The Waihi mine has produced over 10Moz of gold, with disclosed resources of 2.54Moz gold and 9.3Moz silver, and reserves of 0.48Moz gold and 1.5Moz silver remaining (estimated as at December 31, 2023 – see OceanaGold press release dated February 21, 2024 for more details).

Adjacent to the Glamorgan Project lies OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga deposit, with an initial reserve of 1.2Moz gold announced in December 2024. Early phase design and construction is expected to begin in 2025, with the first ore expected to be produced in 2032¹.

RUA GOLD’s Chief Operating Officer, Simon Henderson previously spent 14 years delineating the resource at OceanaGold’s Waihi operation and then went on to joint-venture both the Glamorgan Project and Wharekirauponga Project under Glass Earth Minerals Inc., leading the exploration team to the Wharekirauponga discovery.

RUA GOLD Intersects Visible Gold and Antimony and Confirms Continuity of High-Grade Gold Mineralization at Murray Creek

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 20, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update from the drilling campaign underway at the Reefton Project on the South Island of New Zealand.

Highlights:

All three holes in Murray Creek have intercepted visible gold in down-dip extensions of the historical Victoria lode, demonstrating vertical continuity over 100 meters and still open.
Murry Creek assays ranging from 11.1 – 34.1g/t gold, intercept widths indicate a pinch and swell of the vein from 0.2 – 1.2m.
1.35% Sb (stibnite) in DD_VIC_42A demonstrates the antimony potential in this region.
Introduction of Devico Navi-drilling provides benefits of accuracy and economy in the resource definition stage.
Gold results in 4 of the 6 drill holes at Capleston, with the northern-most intercept averaging 4.8g/t Au over 3.3m.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD commented: “it is very encouraging to be intercepting gold on the majority of our targets in the Reefton Goldfield. Murray Creek has delivered vertical continuity and visible gold on every hole and even more exciting as we start seeing visible antimony on this target. The drill program is progressing nicely and with the navi-drilling team in place and two main holes complete, we can start building structure with our 20m spaced drill program. The near surface gold results at Capleston also indicate there is potential for early development opportunities.”

Murray Creek

The Company has advanced the testing of the down-dip extension of the Victoria lode, DD_VIC_042B. This intersected the targeted gold vein at 390m down hole with a 1m quartz vein followed by a 0.2m mineralized fault, including fine visible gold throughout the vein and antimony infilling fractures. This intercept is 80m below the historical Victoria mine, and 20m northeast of the DD_VIC_042A intercept.

The third drill hole (DD_VIC_042A) intercepted a 0.3m quartz vein with visible gold in a 0.6m mineralized fault. The quartz vein assayed 0.3m at 27.2/t Au with 1.35% Sb (antimony).

Table 1: Assay results Murray Creek Drilling Program

Drill hole	From	To	Interval	Au (g/t)	Sb (%)
VIC_042	388.65	388.85	0.2m	34.1	Not tested
VIC_042A	388.6	388.9	0.3m	27.2	1.35%
VIC_042B	390.0	391.2	1.2m	11.1	Pending

RUA GOLD have commenced a series of directional drill holes with IMDEX Devico Navi-drilling to progress the delineation of the unmined reef down dip and along strike.

Two parent holes have been established (DD_VIC_042 and 046) and there are 6 more directionally drilled holes planned in the first quarter 2025. This program will test ~200m down strike of the historical Victoria Mine lode which produced 33,877oz at 19.9g/t Au (Barry, 1993).

QAQC Drilling

The majority of drillholes were sampled in full, typically following 1-m sample intervals unless geological contacts (i.e. dolerite intrusions) dictated otherwise. NQ core was analyzed as whole core; therefore, only requiring cutting along sample intervals. PQ and HQ core were sampled as half core.

Coarse gold intersections (Victoria lode visible nuggety gold intervals) are sampled in full, dried and dispatched to ALS Perth, Australia for PhotonAssay analysis using method PA01 with a detection limit of 0.03ppm Au. 500gm samples were submitted with Certified Reference Material (CRM) following coarse crushing. This method is non-destructive allowing the preservation of the entire whole-core, and unlimited repeat testing.

Standard drill core samples were sent to SGS Westport for sample preparation. Core was crushed to 75% passing 2 mm, and 1-kg split of material was pulverized (to 85% passing 75 µm). No split duplicates were collected during the crushing steps. Two scoops were taken from the pulverize bowl: one for laboratory analysis (~150 g) and the other for pXRF analysis (~100 g). The pulp reject is stored in Reefton. Pulverized drill core samples were analyzed by 50-g fire assay with AAS finish at SGS Waihi (SGS Code FAA505). The detection limit for Au by this method is 0.01 ppm. As part of SGS’ internal quality control, SGS conducted repeat analyses, also at a rate of ~5%.

The QP has verified the data disclosed including sampling, assay procedure and analytical information contained in the written disclosure.

ABOUT RUA GOLD

The Company’s Glamorgan Project solidifies RUA GOLD’s position as a leading high-grade gold explorer on New Zealand’s North Island. This highly prospective project is located within the North Islands’ Hauraki district, a region that has produced an impressive 15 million ounces of gold and 60 million ounces of silver.

RUA GOLD Utilizes VRIFY Al to Prioritize Cumberland, Following up on Exceptional Historic Drill Intercept

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 13, 2025) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise on the updated Cumberland gold camp drill target. This follows on from the integration of VRIFY AI into RUA’s extensive geological database and the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield, an orogenic gold and antimony belt on the South Island of New Zealand.

Highlights:

The AI contribution is already paying dividends as the tool has accelerated the identification of and prioritization of our drill targets.
Prioritizing Cumberland gold camp comprising of 7 historic mines in a 2 km long north-northwest trending zone of quartz veins and shearing.
Follow up target on historic Cumberland drill hole, GAL001 showing 21.9m (5m true width) of 92.0g/t Au including 1m of 1911 g/t Au (60 oz/t).
Drilling contractor is being mobilized and the Company anticipates commencing drilling before the end of January.

The Company is expanding its 2025 exploration program to include the Cumberland gold camp, a historic gold camp 3kms south of Globe Progress Mine, which has produced over 1 million ounces of gold (historic production prior to 1950 of 424,000 ounces, and a further 665,000 ounces from 2007 – 2015 under OceanaGold).

EARLY WIN FROM RUA GOLD’S AI INVESTMENT
The Cumberland target was identified by uncovering several exploratory holes drilled by OceanaGold 15 years ago, including hole GAL001, which had the following exceptional results on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth:

GAL001: 21.9m (5m true width) of 92.0g/t Au including 1m of 1911 g/t Au (60 oz/t).

GAL001 was drilled down the vein, giving an exaggerated width but provides for a compelling and prospective target to follow up immediately.

RUA GOLD has collated hundreds of thousands of data points from its recent Siren acquisition, historic workings and contemporary exploration on its multiple mine sites, and district wide geophysical data over the Reefton Goldfields. The ability to combine rapid data-mining of this information by VRIFY, in concert with RUA GOLD’s extensive surface geochemistry and ultra-detailed UAV magnetics accumulated in the last 5 years, provides us with rapid feedback on a multi layered dataset, that now focusses our prospect ranking, and directly informs our drilling programs.

Simon Henderson, COO of RUA GOLD, commented, “Consolidation of our holdings on the Reefton Goldfield provides a plethora of gold targets and historic deposits to examine. AI driven VRIFY provides a science data driven platform to assimilate the vast amount of data available, identify patterns and associations at lightning speed, and provide iterative feedback, constantly updating and adding value as the exploration process rolls out. We are excited by its early success in highlighting key areas such as Cumberland to prioritize our drill activity planned in 2025.”

INITIAL DRILL TARGET

Based on the extensive surface exploration work and historical drilling, the Gallant lode in the Cumberland gold camp presents an exceptional high-grade target that has never seen significant exploration work:

It has quartz veins outcropping on surface within an envelope of strong gold-arsenic anomalism.
It has several exploratory holes drilled by OceanaGold 15 years ago, which include exceptional results on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth (Table 1).
Core orientation clearly demonstrates that this intersection drilled down the quartz reef exaggerating its width.
Geological modelling interprets the vein to be approximately 5m wide.

Table 1: Intercept from GAL001, calculated with a 1.5ppm Au cut-off and up to 3m internal dilution.

Drill hole	From	To	Interval	Au (g/t)
GAL001	31.0	52.9	21.9m	92
including	47.0	48.0	1.0m	1911

Note: true width of vein: 5m.

Rua Gold Completes the Acquisition of Siren Gold's Reefton Assets and Becomes the Dominant Reefton Goldfield Explorer

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 25, 2024) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A4010V) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition (the “Transaction“) of Reefton Resources Pty Limited (“Reefton“). Reefton was a 100% owned subsidiary of Siren Gold Ltd. (ASX:SNG) (“Siren“). The completion of the transaction expands RUA GOLD’s tenement package to cover over 95% of the Reefton Goldfield.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD, stated: “Today marks a pivotal point in RUA GOLD’s development. With the completion of this Transaction, the Reefton district is largely under control of one company. This creates the opportunity to develop a world-class, scalable mining operation in an area that had high-grade production and is considerably underexplored at depth.

Since the announcement in July, our team has been integrating Siren’s data from the Reefton properties and will incorporate this into the VRIFY AI drill targeting platform. Putting together all of these advanced exploration projects through the Transaction creates an exciting district scale opportunity.

Advancing the Auld Creek gold project and weighing up other compelling targets for immediate drilling along with our current drilling successes provides a broad platform for the future.”

With the Transaction complete, a third rig is mobilized to recommence drilling on the Auld Creek target, it is a compelling near surface resource opportunity. The two drill rigs currently operating will continue on the targets at Murray Creek, including the recently announced visible gold intercept of +1oz gold intersection (refer to news release dated November 4, 2024) and shallow Capleston targets.

Further targets are being analyzed in an iterative process using VRIFY AI targeting methodology and RUA GOLD’s comprehensive combined exploration and mining data sets.

Actively Advancing a District-Scale Discovery in a Tier 1 Jurisdiction:

Represents the next chapter in RUA GOLD’s development towards our goal to be a major gold producer in New Zealand.
Newly consolidated project represents an under-explored high-grade gold district in the world.
Permits, access, and consents in place for aggressive drilling following a district-wide reassessment of targets and potential on the combined land package.
The Transaction will increase regional tenement holdings from ~34k ha to ~125k ha and cover all known past mine camps outside of the Blackwater and Globe Progress mines.
Potential for lower overall project capital expenditures through the development of a central processing hub.
The Transaction increases RUA GOLD profile in New Zealand, allowing greater opportunity to work alongside a pro-mining Government in helping to expand its resource potential.
Backed by a team of mining professionals with +150 years of combined experience.

Rua Gold Intersects Visible Gold and Confirms Downhole Continuity of High-Grade Gold Mineralization at Murray Creek, Reefton

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 4, 2024) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A4010V) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update from the drilling campaign underway at the Reefton Project on the South Island of New Zealand.

Murray Creek

RUA GOLD reports the completion of the second hole testing the down-dip extension of the Victoria lode, DD_VIC_042. This intersected the targeted gold vein at 388m down hole with a highly silicified and pyritic zone over 0.6m in length, including visible gold of 0.2m at 34.1g/t.

Hole ID	Easting	Northing	From	To	Interval	Au (g/t)
DD_VIC_042	1509876	5336164	388.65	388.85	0.2m	34.1

RUA GOLD has commenced a series of wedged daughter holes from DD VIC 042 to progress the delineation of the unmined reef down dip and along strike.

Historical records and rock hand specimens around old workings attest to high-grade visible gold in the historical mined veins. DD VIC 042 confirms both the presence of high-grade visible gold, and the continuity of the unmined lode 80m down dip of the current workings.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD commented: “this encouraging result with the second drill-hole of our near-mine program again validating this vein continues at depth and is still open. Careful 3D modelling and targeting of extensions and potential duplications of known gold lodes provides lower risk strategies to define resources economically. We are at the very outset of our drill program and with every hole it is getting better. Very exciting times for the RUA GOLD team and a testament to the dedication of the team on the ground in New Zealand.”

The Company commenced its near mine drill program on the Murray Creek targets in July. A second drill rig was introduced in September to test the Capleston vein system. These historic mines collectively produced ~700koz of gold at 25.2g/t within a radius of ~20 kilometers.

Capleston

The Company is targeting an undeveloped and near-surface vein at the southern end of the two kilometer long historic Capleston project. Near surface targets lend themselves to early development and are the closest to transportation and infrastructure, providing low-cost operational advantages. Additionally, a legacy drill hole intercepted the southern lode at 33m downhole, with 1m grading 24g/t Au followed by 1m @ 2.5g/t Au¹. Mapping has recorded historical waste samples up to 32.0g/t Au in the vicinity¹, and a strong soil anomaly enveloping the vein (up to 410ppb Au).

As previously announced, the first diamond drill hole, DD_REF_043, intersected a 12m zone of quartz-pyrite-arsenopyrite in the hanging wall, with a 1m quartz vein from 31m to 32m grading 3.86 g/t Au.

A second hole, DD_REF_044, completed on the southern end of the Capleston vein system has confirmed continuity of the vein to the north, with a 2m intersection of mineralization recorded. A third hole was commenced to target the vein to the south to confirm lateral continuity, prior to testing at depth. These are being logged and then will be sent for assay with results expected in the next exploration update in the next 2-4 weeks.

RUA GOLD Provides an Update on Previously Announced Acquisition of Siren Gold's Reefton Assets

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 21, 2024) – Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A4010V) (“RUA GOLD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on the previously announced acquisition of Reefton Resources Pty Limited (“Reefton“), a 100% owned subsidiary of Siren Gold Ltd. (ASX: SNG) (“Siren“) with tenements located adjacent to the Company’s suite of properties in New Zealand’s prolific Reefton Goldfield (the “Transaction“).

The Company and Siren have agreed to amend the terms of Transaction whereby RUA GOLD agrees to purchase 10,000,000 common shares of Siren at a price of A$0.20 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of A$2,000,000.

The Company highlights that the following conditions have been satisfied:

RUA GOLD shareholders have voted in favor of the transaction
The Company obtained the required consent from the New Zealand Petroleum and Mineral (“NZPAM“) to transfer control over Reefton’s exploration permits to RUA GOLD
The Company has prepared draft National Instrument 43-101 compliant independent report
The TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) has conditionally approved the transaction, with final approval expected following the satisfaction of the requirements for the Transaction under the TSXV Policy 5.3, which includes the submission of the aforementioned 43-101 report

The final key milestone anticipated is the Siren shareholder vote on October 28, 2024. If in favor, the Company anticipates closing the Transaction in November.

Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD, stated: “This is an exciting stage for RUA GOLD shareholders, Siren Gold shareholders, and the Reefton Goldfields community. Our merger presents a prime opportunity to establish a high-grade gold and antimony exploration company ready to deliver value through its drilling program planned on this land package. We will be looking at a combination of new discoveries alongside the scalability of historic high-grade mines to become a leading gold producer in the region. New Zealand’s mining industry is experiencing a resurgence, supported by local and foreign investment, as well as a pro-mining government implementing streamlined policies. The resulting improvements in regional infrastructure and employment will transform the West Coast and benefit all of New Zealand.”

Transaction Highlights

Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, Siren shall receive total consideration of A$22 million (C$20.4 million):

A$2 million (C$1.8 million) in cash, of which A$1 million has been paid and the remaining A$1 million will be paid at the close of the Transaction;
A$2 million (C$1.8 million) in cash in exchange for 10,000,000 common shares of Siren, to be exchanged at the close of the Transaction; and
83,927,383 fully paid shares of RUA GOLD representing A$18 million (C$16.6 million¹), to be issued at the close of the Transaction with agreed contractual resale restrictions.

Upon completion of the Transaction, Siren will own ~26% of RUA GOLD, and Siren Chairman, Mr. Brian Rodan, will join the RUA GOLD Board. The Transaction will deliver the following benefits to the Company’s shareholders:

Increased scale and resources by combining projects and exploration teams.
Increased exposure to the highly prospective and under-explored Reefton Goldfield, as the largest landholder in the district with approximately 120,000 ha of combined tenements.
Improved investor visibility and positioning amongst peers, with the opportunity to broaden the Company’s shareholder base.
Potential for future operational synergies (i.e., centralized infrastructure and workforce) by realizing economies of scale across the whole land package.
Continued exposure to the Company’s highly prospective asset, Glamorgan on the North Island of New Zealand.

Transaction Update Details

The Company has obtained approval from its shareholders concerning the Transaction.

In addition, on October 17, 2024, the Company obtained consent from the NZPAM to the change of control of Reefton’s exploration permits as a consequence of the Transaction.

The Company is working to satisfy the TSXV requirements for the Transaction under section 5.7 of TSXV Policy 5.3. To obtain final approval from the TSXV, the Company will submit a National Instrument 43-101 compliant independent report and a financial plan demonstrating that the Company has sufficient financial resources to close the Transaction and to fund the first stage of the recommended work program and property payment obligations for a minimum of six months.

The transaction agreements governing the acquisition of Reefton and evidence of disinterested shareholder approval of the Company have been filed with the TSXV. A legal title opinion confirming Siren’s authority to transfer the Reefton project will also be required. Final closing will be subject to the TSXV’s clearance of these requirements.
