Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc.
VANCOUVER – USA News Group News Commentary – Since March, the gold rally has been reigniting interest in mining stocks, drawing investors back into the sector as the metal pushes through record highs. While broader markets have been rattled by volatility—including the so-called “Trump Blink” on tariffs—gold miners have been moving in the opposite direction. A number of companies, from emerging juniors to established producers, have delivered headline-worthy updates that are capturing attention, including RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (NYSE-American: CMCL), Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (NYSE-American: IDR), NovaGold Resources Inc. (NYSE-American: NG) (TSX: NG), and Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF).
With gold breaking above $3,200 this month, analysts at UBS and Deutsche Bank have raised their forecasts to $3,500 and $3,700 respectively. As global macro risks continue to escalate, strategists are pointing to gold’s parabolic surge as a signal—and urging investors to prepare for what could come next.
New Zealand-focused gold exploration company, RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), today announced encouraging new drill results from its Auld Creek project in the historic Reefton Goldfield, reporting improved gold grades with depth on the Fraternal ore shoot. Highlights from the latest round of drilling include 9 meters at 5.9 g/t gold equivalent (5.2 g/t Au and 0.16% Sb) from hole ACDDH027 and 1.25 meters at 48.3 g/t AuEq (13.3 g/t Au and 8.1% Sb) from ACDDH028. These results, from drilling 80–100 meters below the current resource envelope, suggest the gold-antimony mineralization strengthens with depth—supporting the company’s theory of a plunging, high-grade zone open to the south.
The Auld Creek project is just one part of RUA’s aggressive 2025 campaign across the Reefton district, where the company controls 95% of the historic goldfield.
RUA is the first modern explorer to apply advanced geological tools, including AI, across the district. Earlier results from Auld Creek returned 12 meters at 12.2 g/t AuEq, including 2 meters at 54.8 g/t gold, while surface samples have reported antimony grades exceeding 40%. RUA has identified four mineralized shoots at Auld Creek, with only two currently included in the inferred resource—700,000 tonnes grading 3.1 g/t Au and 1.1% Sb.
Elsewhere in Reefton, drilling is also underway at Murray Creek and the Gallant prospect in the Cumberland camp—an AI-prioritized target located just 3 km from the past-producing Globe Progress open pit where OceanaGold produced more than 610,000 ounces of gold between 2007 and 2016—and another 424,00 ounces prior to 1950. Historically, the underground mines of Reefton produced over 2 million ounces at grades between 9 and 50 grams per tonne.
Gallant is being tested for extensions of a previously reported 20.7-meter quartz vein grading 62.2 g/t gold, including a 1-meter interval at 1,911 g/t. At Murray Creek, visible gold has been observed in most holes to date.
RUA is also active on New Zealand’s North Island at the Glamorgan Project, located near OceanaGold’s Wharekirauponga (WKP) deposit. There, two major gold-arsenic soil anomalies spanning over four kilometers have been identified, and surface rock samples have returned up to 43 g/t gold. Drill targeting is underway.
While gold remains the primary focus, antimony adds critical upside to the Reefton story. In January 2025, New Zealand added antimony to its official Critical Minerals List. With prices now exceeding US$50,000 per tonne and supply chains strained by Chinese export controls, RUA’s gold-antimony intercepts have drawn investor interest—including intervals like 0.3 meters at 27.2 g/t gold and 1.35% Sb.
Backed by a management team responsible for more than $11 billion in mining exits and a recent $5.75 million financing, RUA Gold continues to execute on its plan to unlock the high-grade, underexplored potential of New Zealand’s premier gold district.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (NYSE-American: CMCL) recently posted its best-ever Q1 gold production at the Blanket Mine, hitting 18,671 ounces. That beats both last year’s Q1 and their prior Q1 record from 2022. With a growing stockpile and higher-than-expected throughput, they’re on track to meet full-year production targets.
“This achievement reflects continued operational improvements and the dedication of our team on the ground,” said Mark Learmonth, CEO of Caledonia. “The significant increase in both tonnes milled and the surface stockpile provide a strong foundation for the remainder of the year. This is an excellent start and with a strong gold price we are well positioned to generate healthy cash flows and to continue investing in our growth projects.”
Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. (NYSE-American: IDR) also recently reported its strongest year ever for gold production, hitting 11,915 ounces in 2024—up 44% year-over-year. The company focused on its high-grade H-Vein at the Golden Chest mine, processing ore at nearly 10 grams per tonne. That operational success translated into an 88% jump in revenue and a 663% surge in net income.
"To say we hit the ground running in 2024 is an understatement,” said John Swallow, President and CEO of Idaho Strategic. “We had record revenue and profit throughout the year, eliminated most of our debt, added cash (and treasury notes) to our balance sheet, invested considerably in operations and facilities at the Golden Chest, continued near-mine exploratory drilling throughout the year, replaced and added to reserves, and we are embarking on a 2025 that will most likely be the busiest year in company history."
NovaGold Resources Inc. (NYSE-American: NG) (TSX: NG) is advancing one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold projects, the Donlin Gold mine in Alaska, which it co-owns with Barrick. In Q1 2025, NovaGold kicked off a major 15,000-meter drill program and maintained a strong treasury of $93 million to support development.
“This year’s program includes three rigs that will drill some 15,000 meters, primarily focused on grid drilling to further develop the modifying factors and input parameters and assumptions for future mine planning and schedule work,” said Gregory A. Lang, President & CEO of NovaGold in the President’s Message with the Q1 2025 report. “These efforts further advance Donlin Gold and continue to provide direct exposure to gold through one of the largest known undeveloped gold assets globally — located in Alaska, a stable, Tier One, and mining-friendly jurisdiction.”
With 39 million ounces in Measured and Indicated resources, Donlin could become a top-tier U.S. gold producer once operational.
Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) recently reported more high-grade infill drill results from its flagship Novador Project in Quebec, including standout intercepts like 4.4 g/t gold over 20 metres and 14.8 g/t over 4 metres. These results support resource conversion ahead of a 2025 Pre-Feasibility Study and confirm strong continuity at both near-surface and deeper zones.
“Novador’s infill drilling program continues to confirm the continuity and grade of near-surface mineralization at the Bussiere deposit, as well as deeper gold zones at Monique,” said David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe. “We are making great progress in permitting, resource growth, and mine plan optimization, and our confidence in the project’s potential continues to strengthen as we see a clear path forward to development.”
With over 10 million ounces in total gold resources across the Val-d'Or area, Probe is pushing Novador toward development.
