Analysts See 'Historic Dislocation' Between Gold Prices and Miner Valuations
USA News Group News Commentary Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc. VANCOUVER, BC, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group News Commentary – Gold mining stocks are still too cheap, according to analysts at JP Morgan. In their latest note, JP Morgan tentatively sees $4,100 per ounce gold prices for 2026, and based on that estimate foresees plenty of value in gold mining shares from larger producers all the way down the chain to small- and mid-cap companies. Analysts at Jefferies still think things are out of balance, pointing to a historic valuation gap, with many gold equities still priced as if bullion were stuck at $2,500 an ounce. As gold rises, other analysts are calling for a mining equities breakout, leading to extra attention on miners of all sizes, including RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Great Pacific Gold Corp. (TSXV: GPAC) (OTCQX: FSXLF), 1911 Gold Corporation (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCBB: AUMBF), Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM) (TSX: FVI), and Seabridge Gold (NYSE: SA) (TSX: SEA). According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, it's the central banks acting as a driving purchasing force behind the current record-breaking gold bull market, accumulating roughly 80 metric tons of gold a month worth ~$8.5 billion at current prices. With all the global uncertainty and turbulence, it's no surprise to analysts like George Milling-Stanley from State Street Global Advisors that gold will continue to make sense for investors for its attributes and potential. RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) is advancing a portfolio of high-grade, district-scale gold projects in New Zealand—an emerging exploration hotspot with deep historical roots and modern infrastructure. The company recently announced new high-grade intercepts from its Cumberland project, including 1 metre at 26.9 g/t gold and another at 16.2 g/t, building on a previously returned 62.2 g/t gold, including a standout prior result of 1 metre at 1,911 g/t gold. These hits confirm the near-surface continuity of the Gallant vein system, which became RUA's first drill-tested target generated via VRIFY's AI-powered targeting platform. 'From the very first drill holes, we intersected significant, wide quartz veins hosting high-grade gold, confirming historical intercepts,' said Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD. 'This marks an exciting start, validating the effectiveness of the VRIFY AI targeting process and confirming near-surface mineralization with the potential to extend the envelope of known mineralization across a 2km structural zone.. It's a major step forward for our hub-and-spoke strategy in Reefton… The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY AI target that we have drilled so far. This structure is traceable on surface for over 600m and remains largely untested along strike and at depth.' Gallant sits just 3 km from the historic Globe Progress mine and features steeply dipping quartz veins up to 14 metres thick. Historic drill data from the area includes 20.7 metres of quartz with gold grades reaching 1,911 g/t near surface—highlighting the potential for a shallow, high-grade resource. RUA has now launched a follow-up program stepping 100 metres to the south, with assays pending. Beyond Gallant, RUA GOLD holds commanding control of the Reefton Goldfield, covering roughly 95% of a district that historically produced more than 2 million ounces of gold at grades between 9 and 50 g/t. The Auld Creek project continues to deliver encouraging results as well, with recent intercepts of 9.0 metres at 5.9 g/t gold equivalent and 1.25 metres at 48.3 g/t. Notably, only two of the four known mineralized shoots are currently included in the working model. Previous drilling has returned 12 metres at 12.2 g/t gold equivalent, including a 2-metre stretch at 54.8 g/t. Infographic – Auld Creek also hosts significant antimony mineralization—an increasingly strategic metal trading above US$50,000 per tonne. Surface samples have shown grades above 40% antimony, and drill holes have returned multiple intercepts over 8%. The New Zealand government's early 2025 declaration of antimony as a critical mineral further elevates the project's dual-metal value proposition. On the North Island, RUA GOLD is progressing its Glamorgan project in the Hauraki Goldfield, where a second surface campaign outlined three distinct gold-arsenic anomalies across a 4-kilometre corridor. Rock chip sampling returned up to 43 g/t gold, and CSAMT geophysical surveys identified resistive zones typical of quartz-rich vein systems. Drill access is in the final stages of approval, with targets prioritized through VRIFY's DORA AI engine. Backed by $5.75 million in capital and led by a leadership team with over $11 billion in past mining exits, RUA GOLD is aiming to uncover high-grade discoveries in underexplored terrain. With multiple active programs, AI-guided targeting, and a pipeline of assays and agreements on the horizon, the company is positioning itself as one of New Zealand's most advanced early-stage gold explorers heading into 2025. CONTINUED… Read this and more news for RUA GOLD at: In other industry developments and happenings in the market include: Great Pacific Gold Corp. (TSXV: GPAC) (OTCQX: FSXLF) recently intersected 7.0 metres grading 10.3 g/t gold equivalent (including 2.0 metres at 14.3 g/t AuEq) at its Wild Dog project in Papua New Guinea. 'The first drill results from our Phase 1 drill program at Wild Dog did not disappoint,' said Greg McCunn, CEO of Great Pacific Gold. 'We now have a drill rig on the ground, a highly experienced technical team, and the infrastructure support in place to explore the potential of this system.' The intercept came from WDG-02, drilled beneath a historic pit, confirming the presence of high-grade sulphide mineralization near surface. The current 2,500-metre drill campaign spans 16 planned holes across a 3-kilometre segment of a 15-kilometre target zone. Assays are pending from WDG-03, and hole WDG-04 is now in progress. 1911 Gold Corporation (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCBB: AUMBF) continues to expand its San Antonio West target at the True North project, returning standout grades such as 1.0 metre at 62.40 g/t gold and 2.1 metres at 8.81 g/t. 'These follow-up holes at the San Antonio West target show evidence of several shear structures and also higher grades as we extend drilling to depth,' said Shaun Heinrichs, CEO and President of 1911 Gold. 'The results continue to show another parallel ore shoot to the San Antonio Mine vein system, similar to what we are seeing on the San Antonio Southeast target.' The zone, hosted within the historically productive San Antonio gabbro, now shows gold mineralization across three parallel vein systems traced over 500 metres laterally and 260 metres vertically. The program supports the presence of a new ore shoot west of the historic San Antonio Mine, bridging toward the Cartwright resource. With 39 holes drilled to date and a 30,000-metre campaign planned, the company is prioritizing underground access and resource expansion. Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM) (TSX: FVI) is advancing its Diamba Sud Project with fresh intercepts from the Southern Arc prospect, where drilling returned 13.6 meters at 8.6 g/t gold and 11.8 meters at 9.3 g/t. Infill drilling at nearby deposits also yielded high-grade intervals, such as 113.7 g/t gold over 6.4 meters at Area D and 28.8 meters at 3.0 g/t at Area A. 'Our exploration work at Diamba Sud continues to yield strong results, particularly from areas with limited historical drilling,' said Paul Weedon, Senior Vice President of Exploration at Fortuna Mining Corp. 'These results further reinforce the project's potential for near-term resource growth.' Exploration remains active across several zones, including Moungoundi and Western Splay, where mineralization appears open along strike and at depth. All results will be included in the next resource update. Seabridge Gold (NYSE: SA) (TSX: SEA) has begun drilling at Snip North, a new copper-gold porphyry discovery at its Iskut Project in northwest British Columbia. 'Last year's discovery at Snip North has given us clear direction on where to focus to deliver new resources in this year's program,' said Rudi Fronk, Chairman and CEO of Seabridge Gold. 'We are also targeting the source intrusion for this prospective resource which we expect to be rooted in a district-scale structural trend, named the Bronson Trend.' The company plans to complete 8,000 metres of core drilling using three helicopter-portable rigs, targeting a maiden resource estimate and deeper source intrusions. Exploration will also assess other porphyry prospects within the district-scale Bronson Trend, where recent geophysics and mapping indicate multiple mineralized systems. The $13.4 million program builds on last year's success and reflects Seabridge's broader strategy to uncover large-scale porphyry systems beyond KSM.

As Gold Pushes Higher, Junior Miners Begin to Show Signs of Life
Issued on behalf of RUA GOLD Inc. VANCOUVER, BC, May 27, 2025 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – Gold's relentless climb—briefly topping $3,350 last week —has rekindled investor appetite across the mining sector, particularly among small-cap names long starved of attention. Safe-haven demand, rate cut expectations, and fresh volatility tied to US President Donald Trump's tariff warnings have sent bullion prices soaring, prompting Citi to raise its short-term gold target to $3,500. Bank of America followed by increasing its gold exposure in Q4, citing a bullish shift in underlying market conditions. As gold prices remain favourable, analysts are watching for breakout moments across the junior mining space, with RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Luca Mining Corp. (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF), Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF), Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: DC), and Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF). Despite a 40% gain in the gold price since 2019, junior valuations remain deeply discounted—still hovering near pre-COVID levels. Analysts at Jefferies and InsideExploration note this disconnect, suggesting a re-rating could be overdue if current price strength persists. Veteran investor Rob McEwen and billionaire John Paulson both see $5,000 gold within reach, while JPMorgan recently projected a potential path to $6,000 if even a sliver of U.S.-held foreign assets are reallocated toward bullion. For investors scanning the horizon, catalysts are beginning to emerge. RUA GOLD Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) is a gold exploration company advancing district-scale opportunities in New Zealand—a country with a long legacy of high-grade gold production and renewed interest from global investors. Today, RUA reported high-grade intercepts from its Cumberland project, including 1 metre at 26.9 g/t gold and 1 metre at 16.2 g/t. These results confirm the continuity and near-surface nature of the Gallant vein system that previously returned 62.2 g/t gold —including a standout 1-metre interval grading 1,911 g/t—which stands as RUA's first drill-tested target generated through VRIFY's AI-assisted discovery platform. "From the very first drill holes, we intersected significant, wide quartz veins hosting high-grade gold, confirming historical intercepts," said Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA GOLD. "This marks an exciting start, validating the effectiveness of the VRIFY AI targeting process and confirming near-surface mineralization with the potential to extend the envelope of known mineralization across a 2km structural zone.. It's a major step forward for our hub-and-spoke strategy in Reefton… The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY AI target that we have drilled so far. This structure is traceable on surface for over 600m and remains largely untested along strike and at depth." Located just 3 km from the past-producing Globe Progress mine, Gallant hosts steeply dipping quartz veins up to 14 metres wide and remains open along strike and at depth. Historic drilling in the area returned standout intercepts like 20.7 metres of quartz, with intervals grading up to 1,911 g/t gold at depths less than 80 metres —suggesting the potential for a shallow, high-grade resource in a district with strong infrastructure. A follow-up program is now underway, stepping 100 metres south, with additional assays pending. RUA controls roughly 95% of the Reefton Goldfield, which has historically yielded over 2 million ounces at grades ranging from 9 to 50 g/t. At its Auld Creek project, recent drilling returned 9.0 metres at 5.9 g/t gold equivalent and 1.25 metres at 48.3 g/t. Importantly, only two of four known shoots are currently included in the model. Earlier hits include 12 metres at 12.2 g/t gold equivalent, including a 2-metre stretch grading 54.8 g/t. Infographic - Adding further strategic value, Auld Creek contains high-grade antimony—a critical mineral now trading above US$50,000 per tonne. Surface samples have exceeded 40% antimony, with multiple drill intercepts over 8%. In early 2025, the New Zealand government designated antimony as a national priority, heightening the potential relevance of RUA's dual metal profile. In the Hauraki Goldfield on the North Island, RUA recently completed its second surface campaign at the Glamorgan project, identifying three gold-arsenic anomalies across a 4-kilometre trend. Rock chip samples returned grades up to 43 g/t gold, while CSAMT geophysics confirmed resistive zones consistent with quartz-rich vein systems. A drill access agreement is expected shortly, and all targets are being ranked using VRIFY's DORA AI engine. RUA GOLD is led by a team with over $11 billion in collective mining exits, and backed by $5.75 million in fresh capital. Their strategy targets undervalued, high-grade potential in proven jurisdictions—using modern data to accelerate discovery across two of New Zealand's most historically productive, but underexplored, gold belts. With multiple drill programs active and catalysts expected in 2025, RUA offers significant leverage to continued exploration success. In other industry developments and happenings in the market include: Luca Mining Corp. (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF) has discovered multiple new high-grade ore shoots at its Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in Durango, Mexico. Highlights include 9.4 metres grading 5.21 g/t gold equivalent and 5.1 metres at 5.62 g/t AuEq, with one interval peaking at 9.37 g/t AuEq. "The discovery of multiple new high-grade ore shoots so quickly into this new exploration program confirms the robust nature of the Tahuehueto epithermal vein system," said Paul D. Gray, VP Exploration of Luca Mining. "The fact that the current drilling program has consistently intersected well-mineralized veins in previously untested areas also confirms the Company's exploration approach and moreover speaks to the larger potential of the Tahuehueto mineralized system." These discoveries sit near current mine workings and point to immediate upside for near- and mid-term production plans. Probe Gold Inc. (TSX: PRB) (OTCQB: PROBF) has awarded its Environmental Impact Assessment contract to WSP, a global leader in permitting, as it advances the Novador Project in Québec toward production. "This milestone marks another key step forward in the permitting process and continued de-risking of the Novador Project," said David Palmer, President and CEO of Probe Gold. "Partnering with WSP, a recognized leader in Environmental Impact Statements, gives us confidence in the quality and scope of the work, which will help us to meet our permitting timeline of 2027." The EIA/EIS will address environmental, hydrological, and biodiversity factors, forming the foundation of both federal and provincial approvals. Submission is expected by early 2027, aligning with the company's timeline to advance Novador toward construction readiness. With over 10 million ounces of total gold resources across the Val-d'Or properties, Probe is positioned as a leading district-scale developer in one of Canada's most prolific mining camps. Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: DC) is advancing its Richmond Hill Project in South Dakota with an 80,000-foot drill campaign focused on metallurgical sampling and resource expansion ahead of an Initial Assessment with Cash Flow (IACF) expected mid-2025. " Dakota Gold continues to advance its Richmond Hill and Maitland projects," said Dr. Robert Quartermain, Co-Chair, Director, President and CEO of Dakota Gold. "With our March financing, we are well funded for our planned activities in 2025 and well into 2026." A feasibility study is scheduled for 2027, with $47 million in cash earmarked to fully fund both stages. At Maitland, the company is also preparing a maiden resource estimate after intercepting grades as high as 10.76 g/t gold over 4.0 meters. Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF) is deepening its presence along West Africa's Boundiali belt through a strategic equity investment in Aurum Resources, which owns the Boundiali and Napié gold projects. "We are pleased to enter into a strategic partnership with Aurum, further strengthening our presence along the Boundiali greenstone belt in Côte d'Ivoire," said Martino De Ciccio, CEO of Montage. "As construction at Koné continues to rapidly advance on budget with first gold pour well on track for Q2-2027, we remain focused on executing our strategy of creating a leading African gold producer." Located immediately north of Montage's Koné project, Boundiali is already host to 1.59Moz at 1.0 g/t gold, with aggressive drilling and a PFS underway. Montage's own Koné project remains on track for first gold pour in Q2 2027 and is expected to average over 300,000 ounces per year in its first eight years. The new collaboration provides exploration synergies and shared upside across one of West Africa's most prospective gold corridors.
