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
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) ha riportato significativi ritrovamenti ad alto tenore di oro e antimonio nel suo progetto Reefton in Nuova Zelanda. La campagna di perforazione ad Auld Creek ha fornito risultati notevoli, tra cui 17m @ 9.8g/t AuEq e 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq. Il sistema mineralizzato è stato ampiamente esteso, con una profondità verticale che passa da 160m a 300m e una lunghezza di traccia che si estende da 350m a 620m.
L'azienda sta impiegando due perforatrici ad Auld Creek, testando i filoni Bonanza e Fraternal. La geochimica dei suoli in superficie conferma un corridor mineralizzato di 2,5 km. Sebbene le perforazioni sul target Cumberland si siano concluse con risultati limitati, l'esplorazione regionale a Bell Hill ha dato risultati iniziali promettenti, con campioni di rocce che hanno restituito concentrazioni di 14,2 g/t e 14,3 g/t Au.

- None.
- Cumberland drilling program showed limited continuity due to structural complexity
- Cumberland drilling has been paused pending additional surface exploration
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)
- Including 5m @ 11.1 g/t AuEq1 (7.0g/t Au &
- 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)
- Including 10m @ 15.3 g/t AuEq1 (5.0g/t Au &
- ACDDH037: 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq1 (6.2g/t Au &
- 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.
