Replenish Nutrients Announces Beiseker Facility Update Français
OKOTOKS, AB, Aug. 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Replenish Nutrients Holding Corp. (CSE: ERTH) (OTC: VVIVF) ("Replenish" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the completion of the first phase of commissioning at its Beiseker granulation facility and expected run-rate financial results once operations reach full capacity. Beiseker Granulation Facility Update Replenish is pleased to announce that it has completed the first phase of commissioning at the Beiseker facility whereby the majority of the interior construction at the facility has been completed and the facility has begun producing initial production runs of the Company's proprietary granulated fertilizer. Ongoing refinement to the commissioning production runs will continue in the coming weeks to ensure all quality specifications and production efficiencies are met. Subsequent commissioning activities will include completing final interior and exterior construction at the facility as well as ramping production throughput capacity up to the full 2,000 metric tonnes per month as previously guided. Forward Guidance As is standard in the agriculture industry, fertilizer pricing responds to changes in global, North American and regional ag commodity markets, however the Company expects to generate pricing for its granulated fertilizer that will range from $550 to over $650 per metric tonne depending on market conditions and the specific product being sold. The Company also expects to consistently generate gross profit margins on granulated fertilizer over 30% upon reaching consistent full-scale production and sales cycles. These run-rate margins and cash flows are expected to result in annualized free cash flow for the consolidated Company going forward. In turn, this will allow the Company to not only obtain lower debt financing rates on its current debt, but also allow the Company to unlock further favourable debt and equity financing for the Company's future projects. Track Record of Innovation and Development Reflecting back over the past several years, Replenish has truly been a remarkable story in an agriculture sector that has traditionally been very slow to evolve and innovate and has been dominated by very large incumbents. Sustainable and regenerative agriculture has become a key theme in the sector in recent years as the world looks to decarbonize and Replenish is excited to play an important part in a story that has brought much needed innovation and development in the sector. Despite operating in a highly competitive market, Replenish has: Established key supply chains for the inputs to its products; Developed and patented a unique and innovative product that can fully replace or be used alongside conventional fertilizer products with proven lower carbon emission rates and a zero-chemical and zero-waste manufacturing process; Developed, planned, designed and partially financed three major projects at Beiseker, DeBolt and Bethune Studied, proved and published numerous independently verified field trial data demonstrating product efficacy in-line or better than conventional fertilizer while also demonstrating quantifiable increases in biological activity in the soil contributing to plant health and resilience; Established meaningful sales and distribution channels across Western Canada and the US Pacific Northwest covering well over a million acres of farmland as well as numerous golf courses and home lawns and gardens; Developed and closed key debt and equity financing arrangements and relationships to support its current and future development opportunities and restructured over $2 million of discretionary costs out of the business. Unlocking Future Growth Despite operating in the always difficult micro-cap public company space, Replenish has accomplished a lot over the past number of years and is excited to take these final steps in its evolution to full commercialization at the Beiseker facility, unlocking run-rate annualized free cash flows and setting the Company up for significant growth and profitability going forward. The Company looks forward to providing further updates in the coming weeks and months as progress continues on its current and future development projects. "Our goal has always been to build a sustainable, profitable business that challenges the status quo of the fertilizer industry," said the Company's CEO Neil Weins. "Beiseker is more than a facility — it's a blueprint for what comes next."

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Figure #6 – Dirt-02 Location and Access. Figure #7 Drill Collar Locations Table #3 Assay information for the 2020 drill holes from the DIRT-02 Placer Gold Claim. All data listed below is shown in ounces per ton. Key Findings: Average grades from 10 drill holes - 0.452 oz/ton (12.81 g/t) of gold and 0.546 oz/ton (15.48 g/t) of silver. All drill holes assayed high gold concentrations. Continuation of multi-element mineralization. Comments on Sampling Drilling was conducted using a two-man auger. Sufficient auger flights were required to reach depths up to 11 feet (3.05 meters). Sample material was collected in a specially designed metal container that surrounded the auger. Samples were transferred to a clean plastic bucket for transport to the splitting location. Sample splitting was conducted onsite with a small riffle splitter. The site geologist performed the sample splitting. One split of material was packaged in a plastic bag for sample analysis. The remaining portion of the split was returned to the plastic bucket for storage at a secure locality off-site. The splitter was cleaned between samples. All historical assay results are documented in the four NI-43-101 reports provided to the Company; however, assay certificates indicating the methods used, weight of samples, details on the assay procedures were not in the reports and have not been provided to the Company. Conclusions/Recommendations Historical assay results indicate potentially economic concentrations of gold with associated silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium on all four claims mentioned. Bocana will require due diligence studies, including additional drilling, sample assays, and metallurgical studies to confirm the results from each of these four reports. It is recommended that, in future drilling programs on all of the claims that notes on detailed logging of the sample material be undertaken, in particular the presence/ absence of apparent gravel layers during the drilling, along with approximate depth. The removal of gravel from samples, either because it is not carried by the auger or is at the splitting stage, has the potential to lead to higher or lower assay values. Therefore, one or more bulk samples should be taken in order to assess whether grades are significantly different than those obtained by drilling. Qualified Person Mr. Lorne Warner, the Company's consulting geologist, is an independent, 'Qualified Person' as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Warner has approved the scientific and technical information included in this news release for dissemination.

Gold Eyes $3,500 as Miners Race to Unlock High-Grade Ounces Before Year-End
Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc. VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 5, 2025 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – The upward momentum for gold price projects continues, as the precious metal opened the week above $3,400 after a recent labor data revision. Analysts continue to adjust their gold price forecasts, with the next three months looking to hit $3,500, with Fidelity projecting a potential $4,000 per ounce price by year-end. And it's not just the bullion dealers that stand to benefit, as gold mining majors are already publicly stating they expect bumper profits as gold's prices and volumes surge. In response, gold miners as a group are leading in gains on spot price on the weak US jobs data, leaving an opportunity for retail investors in the market to take a better look at miners making moves as of late, such as RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Dundee Precious Metals (TSX: DPM) (OTCPK: DPMLF), Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE-American: GORO), Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NVA), and Cerrado Gold Inc. (TSXV: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF). According to a recent report from Reuters, the TSX is currently approaching its own recent record high, as gold mining shares continue to climb. As gold flirts with all-time highs and silver rips through multi-year resistance, investors are beginning to rotate into junior miners as the next logical phase of the precious metals bull run. RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) just announced a major expansion to its Reefton drill campaign, mobilizing a third rig and targeting over 4,000 metres of new drilling at Auld Creek to grow the gold-antimony resource above 300,000 ounces by year-end. The company is also initiating deeper drilling at Cumberland and advancing Alexander River as a third priority asset—all part of a 12-month strategy aimed at fast-tracking permitting and transitioning from explorer to developer. "We closed Q2 2025 with $14 million in the treasury, placing us in a strong position to execute on our aggressive exploration plan in New Zealand," said Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD. "As our gold-antimony resource continues to grow rapidly—and with antimony at the top of every nation's critical minerals list—the significance of this expansion is substantial." The Reefton Goldfield is a historically prolific district that produced more than 2 million ounces at grades up to 50 g/t. RUA GOLD now controls 120,000 hectares (roughly 95%) in the area and has confirmed multiple stacked mineralized shoots at Auld Creek, including a standout intercept of 2.1 m at 64 g/t AuEq (5.5 g/t gold and 13.1% antimony). New modeling work is underway ahead of a resource update, while two rigs continue testing depth and lateral continuity. Antimony continues to be a major tailwind for the company's positioning, with prices surging past US$50,000 per tonne in 2025 following China's export restrictions. New Zealand has formally designated it as a critical mineral, adding further significance to RUA GOLD's dual-commodity profile at Auld Creek. Surface samples have returned over 40% Sb, and several drill holes exceed 8%—grades rarely seen this early in a project's development cycle. Three kilometres south, RUA GOLD has put a third drill rig to work at Cumberland, following up on strong recent hits such as 1 m at 26.9 g/t, and earlier assays of 62.2 g/t and 1 m at 1,911 g/t within the Gallant vein system. This AI-generated target has confirmed shallow continuity along a 600 m strike, with additional step-outs in motion across a 2.5 km corridor. Meanwhile, at Alexander River, modeling is underway to build on a 130,000 oz inferred resource grading 4.1 g/t. The zone hosts 1.2 km of outcropping mineralization and returned historical production of 41,000 oz at 26 g/t before World War II halted mining. Targets at Caledonia and other regional zones are also in development. On the North Island, drill access applications have now been submitted for RUA's Glamorgan project in the Hauraki Goldfield—home to the 10 Moz Martha mine. Glamorgan's 4 km gold-arsenic anomaly has been refined using CSAMT surveys and VRIFY's DORA AI engine, with drilling expected to begin in Q4. "Over the past month, our Board and Management team have been focused on shaping the Company's strategy to transition us from an explorer to a developer," added Eckford. "With New Zealand's highly supportive permitting regime, our goal is to rapidly build ounces on our balance sheet and enter the 'Fast Track Permitting Process' in 2026." With a disciplined burn rate, $14 million in cash, and a leadership team behind US$11 billion in prior exits, RUA GOLD is well-positioned to deliver meaningful discovery growth and advance permitting across both islands. The current multi-rig program aims to stack near-surface ounces at scale—across gold, antimony, and future targets shaped by AI and legacy-grade geology. In other industry developments and happenings in the market include: Dundee Precious Metals (TSX: DPM) (OTCPK: DPMLF) recently reported record free cash flow of US$85.7 million and adjusted net earnings of US$51.5 million for Q2 2025, driven by strong production at both the Chelopech and Ada Tepe mines. "We continue to consistently deliver robust free cash flow, generating a record $174 million year-to-date, further strengthening our financial capacity to fund growth," said David Rae, President and CEO of Dundee. "At the same time, our investors are benefiting from our low-cost, high-margin gold production as we continue to return capital to shareholders, demonstrated by the repurchase of a record 10 million shares during the first half of the year. The company sold 72,700 ounces of gold and 6.9 million pounds of copper during the quarter, while also advancing its Loma Larga permitting process in Ecuador. With a debt-free balance sheet and over US$500 million in liquidity, Dundee also reaffirmed its 2025 production guidance and declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.05 per share. Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE-American: GORO) recently announced improved operational metrics and new high-grade drill results from its Don David Gold Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico. Notable intercepts include 7.3 g/t gold and 280 g/t silver over 5.2 metres in the Switchback vein, and 9.2 g/t gold over 1.9 metres in the Arista vein system. "Consistent high-grade drill intercepts, along with an improved understanding of the geology, have allowed us to build more confidence in the mine plan of the Three Sisters system and reinforcing its role as a key contributor to future mine production," said Allen Palmiere, President and CEO of GORO. "In addition, we are excited about the potential benefits from bringing in an experienced mining contractor along with their new equipment, while changing out some of our old fleet with good used equipment to improve our efficiencies and returns. We remain focused on integrating the Three Sisters system into our short-term mine plan while continuing to advance exploration efforts aimed at driving sustainable growth and maximizing shareholder value." The company reduced all-in sustaining costs by 9% quarter-over-quarter and reported strong underground development progress across multiple zones. Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NVA) has released new metallurgical test results from its RPM deposit at the Estelle Gold Project, showing strong recoveries using a combined flowsheet approach. Ore sorting achieved a 4.33x grade increase—from 1.32 g/t to 5.72 g/t—in a single pass, while heap leach tests on lower-grade material delivered gold recoveries up to 68.7%. "We are extremely pleased with the results emerging from our ongoing metallurgical test work program at the RPM Deposit, which we believe continues to demonstrate the exceptional quality and scalability of the Estelle Project," said Christopher Gerteisen, CEO of Nova Minerals. "The ability to extract up to 68.7% gold recovery from lower-grade material through heap leaching, combined with a 4.33 times upgrade using ore sorting technology, is a significant technical breakthrough, in our opinion. These results underscore the economic potential through innovative processing methods as we continue to refine our development pathway." The company says these results support its strategy of combining CIP/CIL processing with ore sorting and heap leaching to maximize project economics ahead of its upcoming prefeasibility study. Cerrado Gold Inc. (TSXV: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF) recently announced it had produced 11,437 gold equivalent ounces at its Minera Don Nicolás Mine in Q2 2025, with underground development at the Paloma pit now underway and expected to ramp up in H2. "As the heap leach continues to ramp up to its fully expanded capacity, we continue to be confident in our full year expectations as the underground operations ramp-up in H2/25," said Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman of Cerrado. " Cerrado also continued to progress both the Lagoa Salgada project and the Mont Sorcier projects towards completion of feasibility studies by Q3/2025 and Q1/2026 respectively, which we believe should demonstrate substantial value being unlocked by Cerrado's development projects." Heap leach upgrades and a 20,000m drill program are in progress to boost recovery and expand resources, while exploration drilling has already intercepted new vein structures.
