Clarification: Historical Mineral Resource Estimate at Reefton

Clarification: Historical Mineral Resource Estimate at Reefton

Rua Gold Inc. (CSE: RUA) (OTC: NZAUF) (WKN: A4010V) (" Rua Gold " or the " Company ") provides a clarification in relation to its news release of July 15, 2024 (" Rua Gold to acquire Siren Gold's Reefton assets and become the dominant Reefton Goldfield explorer ").

Previously, the Company disclosed that "the tenements owned by [Reefton Resources Pty Limited] hosts a total JORC-compliant inferred mineral resource estimate (at a 1.5 g/t Au cut-off grade) containing 444koz Au @ 3.81g/t Au and 8.7kt Sb @ 1.5% Sb". The Company wishes to clarify that the tenements presently owned by Reefton Resources Pty Limited ("Reefton Resources") do not contain a current mineral resource estimate. The Company intended to disclose the aforementioned "inferred mineral resource estimate" as a "historical estimate" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). As a result, the Company also wishes to provide additional information and cautionary language required by NI 43-101.

The Company would like to clarify its statement regarding the tenements owned by Reefton Resources as follows:

The tenements owned by Reefton Resources host the following historical estimates:

Alexander River Gold Project (Exploration Permit 60446)

  • The Alexander River MRE is reported at 1.07 Mt and 4.95 g/t for 170 koz. The mineral resource is reported at a 1.5 g/t cut-off for all areas of the resource. The resources are estimated as at the end of January 2023 . 1 2

Big River Gold Project (Exploration Permit 60448)

  • The Big River MRE is reported at 0. 834 Mt at 3.94 g/t for 105.5 koz of gold at a 1.5g/t cut-off. The resources are estimated as of the end of April 2023 . 3

Supreme Gold Project (Exploration Permit 60747)

  • The Supreme Inferred MRE is reported at 1.15 Mt at 2.78 g/t for 103.4 koz. resources are based on a 1.5 g/t Au cut-off grade. The resources are estimated as of the end of May 2023 . 4

Auld Creek Project (Exploration Permit 60648)

  • The Auld Creek MRE is reported at 0.58 Mt at 3.5g/t Au and 1.5% Sb for for 66 koz of gold and 8.7t of antimony. This equates to a gold equivalent (AuEq) of 7.1g/t and 132koz based on a gold equivalent formula of AuEq = Au g/t + 2.36 x Sb% using a gold price of US$1,750 /oz and an antimony price of US$13,000 per tonne. The mineral resource is reported at a 1.5 g/t AuEq cut-off. The Mineral Resources are estimated as of the end of August 2023 . 5

The foregoing historical estimates were classified as "inferred", in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves, 2012 edition (the "JORC Code"), which does not have the same meaning as the one ascribed to "inferred mineral source" by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on May 19, 2014 , as amended as JORC and CIM use different definitions of the "inferred" classification based on the certain matters including the level of confidence of quantity and grade.

The Company believes verification of the historical estimates is required to upgrade the historical estimates to current mineral resources. The Company expects such verification will require, among other things: (i) additional diamond drilling and core density sampling; (ii) further detailed modelling on ore controls and deposit structural setting; (iii) continued metallurgical studies for gold recovery factors; and (iv) underground mining scoping and optimization studies to determine the optimal cut-off grade and appropriate mining methods. The Company believes that the historical estimate is relevant in assisting the Company in its targeted drill program but is unable to comment on the reliability of historical resources as insufficient work has been done to make this determination. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates referenced herein as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
