## Minestarters Atlas summary

RUA GOLD Inc. has reported its highest-grade drill results to date at the Auld Creek gold-antimony project in New Zealand, including an intercept of 82.9 g/t gold and 24.80% antimony. The results support an ongoing pre-feasibility study and a planned Fast-Track mining application for October 2026.

Reasoning: The release reports record high-grade gold and antimony intercepts at the Auld Creek project, demonstrating significant development potential and continuity.

- Positive factor: exceptional gold and antimony grades

- Positive factor: strong continuity of mineralization

- Positive factor: high success rate against planned targets

- Positive factor: project is part of a Fast-Track Approvals regime

- Negative factor: reported intervals are downhole widths and true widths are not known

- Negative factor: exploration-stage company with no mineral reserves defined

Facts used in scoring: 11

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 40.5 g/t gold is an exceptional grade.

Evidence · text

> 0.5m at 40.5 g/t gold

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions SGS Laboratories and ALS Brisbane for analysis.

Evidence · text

> Core samples were prepared by SGS Laboratories, Westport, which is independent of the Company, and analyzed by ALS Brisbane.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: Reported intervals are downhole widths and true widths are not known.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals are downhole widths and true widths are not known.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
