Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - Rua Gold Inc. (TSX: RUA) (NZX: RGI) (OTCQX: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) ("RUA GOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration and development activities at its Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project in the Reefton Goldfield, New Zealand. The Company's exploration team continues to advance an extensive resource expansion and technical evaluation program at Auld Creek. Alongside resource growth drilling, detailed geotechnical, hydrogeological and metallurgical studies are underway to support the Company's Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") and planned Fast-Track Mining Application, anticipated in Q4 2026. Highlights: Robert Eckford, Chief Executive Officer of RUA GOLD, commented, "With our Fast-Track Referral Application submitted and the Preliminary Economic Assessment completed, the team has accelerated resource expansion drilling while simultaneously advancing the technical studies required for the PFS. At the halfway point of our planned drilling campaign, we are ahead of schedule and continuing to build confidence in the resource while advancing development planning. We are encouraged by the consistency of the mineralization being intersected and remain focused on delivering the PFS in the fourth quarter of 2026."

Continuous drilling will complete the planned 19,000-meter drill program by the beginning of September 2026. Details on each reported intercept are below. ACDDH073, 075, and 076 provide strong evidence of grade continuity within the southern Fraternal zone, increasing confidence in the mineralized envelope approximately 300 meters below surface. Notable intercepts include: Hole ACDDH078 represents the first in a series of infill holes designed to evaluate the northern portion of the resource area. The results complement earlier intersections of increasing gold tenor that are indicating a near horizontal attitude, similar to the Bonanza lode dipping gently north. Re...
