Rua Gold raises C$13.8 million to support gold exploration in New Zealand

Funding backs accelerated drilling at Reefton and Glamorgan projects

Company strengthens strategy with cornerstone investment

Rua Gold (TSX-V:RUA) has successfully concluded a multi-million dollar capital raise, securing approximately C$13.8 million (A$15.45 million) through a combination of public offering and private placement. This infusion of capital is set to propel exploration activities across its highly prospective projects in New Zealand, reinforcing the company’s strategy for the next 12 to 18 months.

The raise involved the issuance of around 19.71 million shares at a price of C$0.70 per share. These proceeds will be directed towards advancing Rua Gold’s two key assets: the Reefton Project on the South Island and the Glamorgan Project located on the North Island’s Hauraki Goldfield.

Rua Gold’s approach integrates a dual-pronged exploration strategy. One arm continues with the aggressive drilling campaign at the Reefton Project, while the other sets sights on initiating drilling at the Glamorgan site by Q4 2025. A new cornerstone investor acquiring a 9.9% stake marks a significant boost to Rua Gold’s shareholder base and underpins confidence in the company’s geological potential.

The Reefton Goldfields region boasts a rich history, with past production of 2 million ounces of gold at notably high grades ranging from 9 to 50 grams per tonne. Meanwhile, the Glamorgan Project lies within the Hauraki Goldfield—an area that has yielded more than 15 million ounces of gold and 60 million ounces of silver since the 1860s. This historic richness provides a promising backdrop for Rua Gold’s exploration roadmap.

Rua Gold, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, is positioning itself among the emerging explorers with a focus on unlocking further value in New Zealand’s prolific gold belts. The company’s strategic momentum is supported by robust funding, geological upside, and a disciplined plan to deliver results.

Although Rua Gold does not currently feature on the ASX 200, its activity is drawing interest from market watchers closely following gold-focused growth stories outside the ASX200. With gold prices remaining resilient and demand for new discoveries strong, Rua Gold’s next drilling milestones will be pivotal in shaping its market trajectory.

As exploration intensifies across its portfolio, Rua Gold continues to garner attention as a company with strong potential in the evolving global gold landscape.
