RUA GOLD (OTCQB: NZAUF) has reported significant high-grade gold-antimony intercepts at its Reefton Project in New Zealand. The drilling campaign at Auld Creek revealed impressive results, including 17m @ 9.8g/t AuEq and 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq. The mineralized system has been substantially expanded, with vertical extent increasing from 160m to 300m and strike length extending from 350m to 620m.

The company is operating two drilling rigs at Auld Creek, testing the Bonanza and Fraternal shoots. Surface soil geochemistry confirms a 2.5km mineralized corridor. While drilling at the Cumberland target has concluded with limited success, regional exploration at Bell Hill has yielded promising initial results, with rock-chip samples returning grades of 14.2 g/t and 14.3g/t Au.

RUA GOLD (OTCQB: NZAUF) has announced a significant expansion of its drilling program at the Reefton Project in New Zealand, backed by a strong cash position of $14 million as of June 30, 2025. The company is mobilizing a third drill rig and plans 4,000 meters of diamond drilling at Auld Creek over the next four months.

The company aims to increase Auld Creek's resource to over 300,000 gold-equivalent ounces by end-2025. The exploration program spans multiple sites including Cumberland, Alexander River, and Glamorgan, with drilling at Glamorgan expected to commence in Q4 2025. RUA GOLD has allocated $1 million for marketing initiatives over the next 12-18 months while maintaining annual administrative costs under $1 million.

CEO.CA, a leading investor social network for junior resource and venture stocks, featured an interview with Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA Gold (NZAUF) in their 'Inside the Boardroom' series. The interview highlighted RUA Gold's high-grade New Zealand gold project, which boasts historic production averaging 20 grams per ton, significantly higher than the global average of less than 1 gram per ton. A key focus was New Zealand's new fast-track permitting process, which could enable mine permits to be obtained in just 6 months. The company's stock has recently experienced a 30% increase, with management suggesting further potential upside.

RUA GOLD (NZAUF) reported significant drilling results from its Auld Creek project in New Zealand's Reefton Goldfield, revealing high-grade gold-antimony intersections 120 meters below the current resource. Key findings include a notable intersection of 2.1m @ 64.0g/t AuEq (5.5g/t Au & 13.1% Sb) from 310m depth in hole ACDDH031. The drilling extends the vertical resource from 160m to 280m and remains open at depth. The project's current inferred resource stands at 700,000 tonnes at 3.1g/t Au and 1.1% Sb, containing 67,000oz gold and 8,000 tonnes antimony. Surface exploration confirms the system extends over 2.5km. Notably, antimony prices have surged from US$11,350 to over US$60,000 per tonne, driven by its critical role in renewable energy, batteries, and defense sectors, with supply largely controlled by China, Russia, and Tajikistan.

RUA GOLD (NZAUF) has reported significant initial drill results from its Cumberland gold camp at the Reefton Project in New Zealand. The first two drill holes revealed high-grade gold mineralization near the surface, with notable intercepts including 14m @ 3.4g/t Au (including 1m @ 26.9g/t Au) and 3m @ 6.3g/t Au (including 1m @ 16.2g/t Au). The drilling program, which began in April 2025, validates targets identified through VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform. The Gallant target, part of the Cumberland gold camp's 2.2km historic mine corridor, shows promising potential with quartz veins extending 200m southward. The area has historical significance, being located 3km south of Globe-Progress Mine, which has produced over 1 million ounces of gold. The company is implementing a systematic drilling approach to test the entire Cumberland gold camp.
