Malibu, CA, United States, Sep 15, 2026 - (ABN Newswire) - Ellis Martin speaks with RUA GOLD (FRA:X9R) (NZE:RGI) (OTCMKTS:NZAUF) (TSE:RUA) CEO Robert Eckford following the company's highest-grade drill results to date at the Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project in New Zealand's Reefton Goldfield.
In this edition of The Ellis Martin Report, Ellis speaks with Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD Inc., following the company's highest-grade drill results to date at the Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project in New Zealand's historic Reefton Goldfield.
The reportedresults include an exceptional intercept grading 82.9 grams per tonne gold and 24.8% antimony.
RUA GOLD has completed approximately 19,600 metres of resource drilling at Auld Creek, with four drill rigs continuing to turn and 18 additional holesawaiting assay results. The company anticipates an updated mineral resource estimate and pre-feasibility study during the fourth quarter of 2026.
Robert discusses the significance of Auld Creek's extremely high grades, the company's evolving geological model and the transition from resource infill drilling to step-out drilling designed to test the system along strike and at depth.
The conversation also examines RUA GOLD's hub-and-spoke development strategy, its approximately 125,000-hectare New Zealand land position and the potential for additional deposits to supply shared processing infrastructure.
Robert outlines the company's planned application under New Zealand's six-month Fast-track Approvals process and explains why management believes the project offers a comparatively low-capital route toward production. He also discusses the company's intention and experience to build a mine rather than pursue a premature sale of the asset.
The interview concludes with a look at RUA GOLD's Glamorgan Project in New Zealand's Hauraki Goldfield. Glamorgan is located near OceanaGold's Wharekirauponga project and represents a separate high-grade epithermal exploration opportunity scheduled for drilling.
