Rob Eckford, CEO of Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC), joins me to introduce the value proposition and current work programs at their 2 district-scale gold exploration projects in New Zealand.

Rob starts off by highlighting that their team, that has developed, constructed, and run mines in Burkina Faso and Colombia, but then decided to focus on New Zealand a handful of years ago; eventually leading to the company going from private to publicly listed in 2024.   They’ve consolidated the land over 2 large land packages prospective for high-grade gold on both the North Island and South Island.

The Company controls the Reefton Gold District as the dominant landholder in the Reefton Goldfield on New Zealand's South Island with over 120,000 hectares of tenements, in a district that historically produced over 2Moz of gold grading between 9 and 50g/t.  The exploration team currently has 3 drills turning across the project, and anticipates an update to the Resource Estimate by year end.

The Company's Glamorgan Project solidifies Rua Gold's position as a leading high-grade gold explorer on New Zealand's North Island. This highly prospective project is located within the North Islands' Hauraki district, a region that has produced an impressive 15Moz of gold and 60Moz of silver. Glamorgan is adjacent to OceanaGold Corporation's biggest gold mining project, Wharekirauponga; north of their Waihi gold mine. After obtaining a permit later this year, drilling will commence across the Glamorgan Project.

Rob shares his background and the pedigree and experience of the management team and board of directors, and wraps us up with the capital share structure, key strategic investors, and financial strength of the Company to execute on its next initiatives.
