RUA GOLD (NZAUF) reported its highest-grade drill results to date from the Auld Creek gold-antimony project in Reefton, New Zealand, and confirmed key permitting and study timelines.
The company has completed 19,600 m of resource-focused drilling, exceeding its 19,000 m target, with four rigs active and the deposit remaining open in all directions. Highlight intercepts include up to 0.6 m @ 136.2 g/t AuEq (82.9 g/t Au & 24.8% Sb), 2.7 m @ 23.2 g/t AuEq, 7.0 m @ 9.9 g/t AuEq and 32.0 m @ 2.4 g/t AuEq, plus the first observations of visible gold. The mineralized system currently extends over ~1,000 m strike and to >500 m depth, with local zones exceeding 20 m width. Assays from 18 additional holes are pending and will feed into an updated Mineral Resource estimate expected in Q4 2026. The company plans to submit its substantive Fast-Track Approvals application in October 2026 and publish a pre-feasibility study in December 2026, and has appointed Darren Prins as Interim CFO and Corporate Secretary.
RUA GOLD (TSX:RUA, NZX:RGI, OTCQX:NZAUF, FSE:X9R) has received required regulatory approval to commence exploration drilling at its Glamorgan epithermal gold project in the Hauraki Goldfield on New Zealand's North Island. The company has approval for nine drill pads to test three priority targets: Sutcliff, Wires Ridge and Tairua.
According to RUA GOLD, an initial, fully funded drill program of approximately 9,000 metres is planned, with drilling expected to start in Q4 2026 after ecological checks and construction of fencing, exploration camps and pads. Extensive prior work includes 4,137 soil samples, rock-chip sampling, 590 line‑km of UAV magnetics and over 11 km of CSAMT surveys, which have defined large alteration cells and deep resistive features consistent with a major epithermal gold‑silver system.
RUA GOLD (OTCQX: NZAUF) reports that its Auld Creek Project in the Reefton Goldfield, New Zealand, has been approved for referral to the country’s new Fast-Track Approvals regime under the Fast Track Approvals Act 2024, providing a potential one-stop pathway for key mining permits and consents.
