RUA GOLD permit and access extended for five years at the high grade Reefton Project and the Company targets Murray Creek in the near-mine drilling program

Rua Gold Inc. (CSE: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A3DB6A) ("Rua Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Reefton Project on the South Island of New Zealand .

Permit and Land Access Agreements for drilling have been extended for a further 5 years

The Company's application to extend the permit and Access Agreement at the Reefton Project on New Zealand's South Island for an additional 5 years has been granted by both the New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals (NZP&M) and the Department of Conservation (DoC), following Iwi (local indigenous) and archaeology consultation.

This provides the Company full access to carry out an extensive drill campaign on 37 drill sites and includes the establishment of the associated infrastructure, including camps and pumping stations.  The Company now has the rights to drill all the targets identified following our extensive surface exploration program which was focused on numerous near mine prospects over the four mine camps within the Company's permits at the Reefton Project.

Rua Gold's near-mine drilling program

The Company has commenced its near mine drill program with five targets in the Murray Creek area as the first step in a comprehensive drilling campaign that will test targets in the Murray Creek, Crushington, Capleston and Caledonian historic districts. These historic mines collectively produced ~700koz of gold at 25.2g/t within a radius of ~20 kilometers.

The Company has commenced with its first target in Murray Creek, which is a down-dip extension of the historic mine shoot. This is a compelling, relatively shallow target as records show mining ceased at 200 meters, yet this was the largest lode. The lode contained gold grades ranging between 18.0g/t to 67.5g/t Au (Barry, 1993).

Two diamond holes are planned to test the down dip extensions of the lode at depth. Accurate mapping of the dyke (UAV magnetics) and 3D structural mapping show significant potential for continuation at depth. Surface rock chips show grades up to 33 g/t Au (from No 3 Victoria Adit).

Drilling will target below the mined extent of the Victoria Lode at ~200 meters depth.

The Company finds the first target at Murray Creek compelling as it is relatively shallow in comparison to the historical mining in the nearby Crushington and Ajax areas which demonstrated mining was economic to depths of greater than 600 meters, and at Federation Mining's Blackwater gold deposit, there is continuity of high grade mineralization to a depth of 1500 meters.

More information can be found at the Company's website: www.ruagold.com .

Historic Mine Evaluation, Proposed Drilling

The Company has completed a comprehensive evaluation of the historic mines in the Reefton Goldfield. This includes 3D modelling of the geology, structure, and historical mine lodes in a precursor to drill testing of priority targets, testing down-dip and potential duplicate structures in the vicinity of the historic mines.

Rua Gold has commenced drilling the first of five targets in the Murray Creek area as the first step in a comprehensive drilling campaign that will test near-mine targets in Murray Creek, Crushington, Capleston and Caledonian historic districts. A table of historic production in these districts is included in Appendix 1.

Grant of Deferred Share Units

The Company also announces that it has granted an aggregate of 326,327 deferred share units ("DSUs") to non-executive directors of the Company at a deemed price of $0.193 per DSU.  The DSUs were granted in consideration for services provided by the non-executive directors for the period from April 1, 2024 to June 30 , 2024.  The DSUs were granted under the Company's Deferred Share Unit Plan adopted on April 17, 2024 and are subject to a one year vesting period.  Each DSU entitles the holder to receive one share of the Company at the time the holder ceases to be a director of the Company.

Halcones Precious Metals Provides Update on Polaris Gold Project, Antofagasta Region Chile

Halcones Precious Metals Provides Update on Polaris Gold Project, Antofagasta Region Chile

Halcones Precious Metals Corp. (TSX V: HPM) (the "Company" or "Halcones") is pleased to provide an update on progress at its Polaris Gold Project (the "Project" or "Polaris"). Halcones' geologists continue field work at Polaris in preparation for the initial drill program at the Project. Recent work has been primarily focused on detailed structural and alteration mapping and fine tuning the geologic understanding of mineralization controls. This improved geological interpretation will guide the forthcoming drill program, which will be the first drilling by the Company at the Polaris Project.

Halcones' focus has been on the Northwest section of the North Zone. The North Zone demonstrates a dense concentration of high-grade, outcropping gold samples over an area of at least 400 m by 250 m with many assays above 10 g/t gold (figure 1). The Company is planning an initial drill program of 8 holes to test the continuity of this vein and stockwork hosted mineralization at depth. Drilling will target near-surface mineralization with the holes planned to a depth of approximately 130m below surface. Follow-up drilling will be planned based on results.
