Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc.
VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – The precious metals sector reached a pivotal milestone last week as gold shattered all-time records above $3,707 following the Federal Reserve's widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut on September 17[1]. Mining equities are dramatically outpacing the underlying metal, with the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index surging over 50% year-to-date compared to gold's 25% gain, as earnings estimates have been revised upward by approximately 80% throughout 2025[2]. This convergence of record gold prices and exceptional drilling results is positioning companies like RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Greenheart Gold Inc. (TSXV: GHRT) (OTCQX: GHRTF), Orosur Mining Inc. (TSXV: OMI) (OTCPK: OROXF), Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD) (OTCPK: TDRRF), and Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF).
Major investment banks are aggressively revising their gold price targets higher, with Bank of America forecasting $4,000 per ounce by 2026[3] and UBS projecting $3,900 by mid-2026[4], while Goldman Sachs analysts suggest gold could reach $5,000 depending on Federal Reserve policy decisions[5].
RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) delivered exceptional high-grade results from its expanding Auld Creek project, highlighted by standout intercepts of 17m at 9.8g/t AuEq and 8m at 8.9g/t AuEq that significantly extend the current resource strike. With promising regional discoveries including rock chip samples grading 14g/t gold found over 30km south of Reefton, the company is rapidly building its district-scale footprint.
"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," said Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD. "The mineralized system has been extended both vertically and along strike and remains open in all directions. With two rigs now active on site and surface geochemistry confirming a 2.5-kilometre-long mineralized corridor, we are well positioned to build on this momentum."
The company has mobilized a third rig and is 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 additional rigs drilling high-priority targets across the district, utilizing its VRIFY AI targeting process, which is all part of a 12-month strategy to fast-track permitting and transition from explorer to developer.
"We closed Q2 2025 with $14 million in the treasury, placing us in a strong position to execute our aggressive exploration plan," added Eckford. "As our gold-antimony resource continues to grow rapidly—and with antimony at the top of every nation's critical minerals list—the significance of this expansion is substantial."
RUA GOLD controls roughly 95% of the historic Reefton Goldfield, where over 2 million ounces were produced at grades up to 50 g/t. Spanning 120,000 hectares, the company has confirmed multiple stacked mineralized shoots at Auld Creek, including a standout intercept of 2.1m at 64g/t AuEq (5.5g/t gold and 13.1% antimony). Multiple rigs continue testing depth and lateral continuity ahead of an upcoming resource update.
Antimony provides a powerful dual-commodity advantage, with prices surging past US$50,000 per tonne following China's export restrictions. New Zealand's formal designation of antimony as a critical mineral further enhances RUA GOLD's strategic position. Surface samples exceed 40% Sb, while several drill holes contain over 8% antimony—exceptional grades rarely seen this early in development.
At Alexander River, modeling is advancing a 130,000 oz inferred resource grading 4.1g/t across 1.2km of outcropping mineralization. The zone produced 41,000 oz at 26g/t historically before World War II halted operations, with targets at Caledonia and other regional zones now in development.
On the North Island, drill access applications are progressing for RUA's Glamorgan project in the Hauraki Goldfield, home to the 10 Moz Martha mine. The project's 4km gold-arsenic anomaly has been refined using CSAMT surveys and VRIFY's DORA AI engine, with drilling expected in Q4.
With $14 million in cash, a disciplined burn rate, and a leadership team behind US$11 billion in prior exits, RUA GOLD is executing a multi-rig program designed to stack near-surface ounces at scale across gold, antimony, and AI-targeted prospects throughout New Zealand's emerging mining districts.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:
Greenheart Gold Inc. (TSXV: GHRT) (OTCQX: GHRTF) has commenced drilling at both its Majorodam project in Suriname and Tamakay project in Guyana, with recent channel sampling at Majorodam delivering exceptional results of 18.0 m @ 6.39 g/t Au including a high-grade quartz vein of 4.0 m @ 24.07 g/t Au. As well, the company strengthened its exploration team with the appointment of Timothy Stubley as Senior Manager, Exploration, bringing over 15 years of mineral exploration experience to oversee operations across the Guiana Shield.
"We are very pleased to welcome Tim to Greenheart Gold where he will be overseeing the Company's operations across our exploration projects in Suriname and Guyana," said Justin van der Toorn, CEO of Greenheart Gold. "As we see continued positive results across the portfolio, we feel that Tim's experience is an ideal addition to our existing team as we continue to fulfil our commitment to both a systematic and a technically driven exploration approach."
The company has completed three diamond drill holes totaling 610 meters at the Heuvel Prospect as part of a 2,500-meter Phase 2 program, while also advancing soil sampling programs at its Igab project where drone magnetics surveys are underway. Greenheart Gold signed the definitive option agreement for the Igab project with total option payments of US$3.4 million over four years, positioning the company for expanded exploration across multiple high-potential targets.
Orosur Mining Inc. (TSXV: OMI) (OTCPK: OROXF) has delivered exceptional drill results from its Pepas MRE infill program in Colombia, with hole PEP055 intersecting 47.25m @ 15.25g/t Au including an extremely high-grade vein of 1.9m @ 303.25g/t Au. The company's El Cedro prospect is also showing significant promise with soil sampling programs revealing multiple gold anomalies over large areas exceeding 0.3g/t Au and at times over 1g/t Au around a central porphyry core.
"The Anza Project continues to develop and broaden in scope," said Brad George, CEO of Orosur Mining. "Pepas is progressing toward MRE as planned, but the results at El Cedro are showing this licence has much more to give."
The MRE infill drill program at Pepas is ahead of schedule and could be completed by late October 2025, with the company planning to move the rig back to exploration work following completion. Orosur now controls 100% of the Anzá Project following completion of its Share Purchase Agreement with previous joint venture partner Minera Monte Aguila, positioning the company to fully capitalize on the expanding gold potential across multiple prospects.
Tudor Gold Corp. (TSXV: TUD) (OTCPK: TDRRF) has intersected high-grade mineralization of 2.57 g/t gold equivalent over 54.00 meters at its Treaty Creek Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, with hole GS-25-188 expanding the 300N Zone footprint by 45 meters northward. The drilling has identified additional high-grade structural corridors, with GS-25-189 intersecting 7.06 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 meters and extensive mineralization of 1.29 g/t AuEQ over 204.00 meters within the CS-600 Zone.
"The discovery of another high-grade hydrothermal breccia stockwork system between the previously identified corridors demonstrates the potential for the continuity for high-grade gold at depth at Treaty Creek," said Ken Konkin, P.Geo., Senior Vice-President, Exploration of Tudor Gold. "The 300 North Zone appears to share the similar trend as the previously discovered high-grade SC-1 Zone. With our underground development permit filed, we plan to fill-in the gaps between 300N and the SC-1 Zone with more efficient and cost-effective underground drilling."
The company's Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces of AuEQ grading 1.19 g/t AuEQ and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ grading 1.25 g/t AuEQ. Tudor Gold has also agreed to issue 422,874 common shares to INFOR Financial Inc. at $0.69 per share to settle $291,783.46 in debt, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF) has achieved a major milestone with its first gold sale from the Bralorne Gold Project, selling 707 ounces in August for gross proceeds of approximately US$2.3 million and marking the company's successful transition from advanced-stage developer to active gold producer. This achievement validates the company's phased ramp-up strategy and successful implementation of its offsite milling partnership with Nicola Mining Inc.
"The sale of our first gold is a significant achievement for Talisker, and a proud moment for our entire internal team and operational partners," said Terry Harbort, CEO of Talisker Resources. "With initial production revenue now in place, Talisker has entered a new growth phase supported by operational execution and strengthened financial flexibility. This milestone underscores the potential of the Bralorne gold district and creates a clear pathway for long-term value creation."
The proceeds from this initial sale will be reinvested in ongoing underground development, resource conversion and infrastructure upgrades at Bralorne to gradually increase production capacity. Talisker remains committed to its broader exploration program seeking additional high-grade zones that could extend the mine's lifespan, while regular gold sales are expected to strengthen the company's financial position as it moves toward commercial production.
