Ellis Martin Report: RUA Gold (NZAUF) CEO: Gold, Antimony, Fast-Track Permitting and 2028 Production Target

RUA · Price

Rua Gold Inc. (RUA) has reported significant progress on its Old Creek Gold-Antimony Project, with CEO Robert Eckford outlining that approximately 10,000 meters have been completed within a 19,000-meter drill program. Five drill rigs are currently operating at the site as the company works to convert resources from inferred to indicated categories. This resource upgrade is intended to support a pre-feasibility study and maintain a targeted production timeline of 2028.

The company is simultaneously navigating New Zealand’s fast-track permitting process, with a decision expected in July. Strategically, RUA Gold is positioning antimony as a critical mineral for Western markets, while gold remains the primary driver of the project. This focus is part of a broader Reefton Goldfield strategy that includes exploration and development efforts on the Alexander River and Big River projects. The company also emphasized its commitment to maintaining a lighter environmental footprint and engaging actively with local stakeholders.

These developments were discussed by CEO Robert Eckford during an interview with Ellis Martin on Money Talk Radio.
