Forward Looking Statements

This announcement contains certain "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Australian securities laws and "forward looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities laws (collectively referred to as "forward looking statements"). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address circumstances, events, activities or developments that could, or may or will occur are forward looking statements.

Risks that could change or prevent these events, activities or developments from coming to fruition include: actual results of current and future exploration activities; that Mont Royal may not be able to fully finance any additional exploration on the Ashram Project; that even if Mont Royal is able raise capital, costs for exploration activities may increase such that Mont Royal may not have sufficient funds to pay for such exploration or processing activities; the timing and content of the proposed drill program and any future work programs may not be completed as proposed or at all; geological interpretations based on drilling that may change with more detailed information; potential process methods and mineral recoveries assumptions based on limited test work and by comparison to what are considered analogous deposits that, with further test work, may not be comparable; testing of our process may not prove successful or samples derived from the Ashram Project may not yield positive results, and even if such tests are successful or initial sample results are positive, the economic and other outcomes may not be as expected; the anticipated market demand for rare earth elements and other minerals may not be as expected; the availability of labour and equipment to undertake future exploration work and testing activities; geopolitical risks which may result in market and economic instability; and despite the current expected viability of the Ashram Project, conditions changing such that even if metals or minerals are discovered on the Ashram Project, the project may not be commercially viable, or other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the public filings made by Mont Royal. Although Mont Royal has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause such actions, events or results to differ materially from those anticipated. These forward-looking statements are based on Mont Royal's current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about its business and the industry in which it operates and management's beliefs and assumptions, including the non-occurrence of the risks and uncertainties that are described above and in the public filings made by Mont Royal or other events occurring outside of our normal course of business, and are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond Mont Royal's control.

RUA GOLD Files the Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Auld Creek Project

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 18:49:00 -0400

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2026) - Rua Gold Inc. (TSX: RUA) (NZX: RGI) (OTCQX: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) ("RUA GOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the filing of a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Auld Creek Gold Antimony Project located in the Reefton Goldfield on the West Coast of New Zealand. A copy of the Technical Report is available on www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website www.ruagold.com.

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been prepared and approved by the following independent Qualified Persons, each within the meaning of National Instrument 43 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43 101"):

Abraham Whaanga, BSc, MAusIMM (CP) of RSC has reviewed and verified the resource-related information disclosed herein.
Gary Davison, FAusIMM, Principal Mining Engineer and Director of Mining One Consultants, has reviewed the mining methods, mining capital and operating costs and is responsible for Economic Analysis.
Marius Phillips, NHD Ex Met, MAusIMM (CP), RPEQ and Technical Director of Pitch Black Group is responsible for information relating to plant capital and operating costs, mineral processing and metallurgical testing and recovery methods.

Each Qualified Person:

has independently reviewed and verified relevant underlying data in the MRE and PEA.
has consented to the disclosure of the information in this news release in the form and context in which it appears.
is independent of Rua Gold Inc. within the meaning of NI 43 101.

The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) presented in RUA's press release on 5 May 2026 was based on mineable shapes created by RSC for the February 2026 Independent Technical Report (Whaanga, 2026). This MRE is comparable to the 'RAW MSO' MRE presented in Table 14-21 of the PEA Technical Report, which was based on Mineable Stope Optimiser (MSO)-generated shapes produced by Mining One for the PEA.

The final MSO set presented in Table 14-21 of the PEA Technical Report is materially different to the MRE in the 5 May 2026 press release, with a -22-27% change in AuEq ounces. This is due to the consideration of additional geotechnical, engineering, and economic factors, including partial extraction of a crown pillar, for the purpose of meeting the criteria for reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) at the PEA level. Further details of the factors considered are provided in Section 14.10 of the Technical Report.

Registration Link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e4ynGgnmSLOwqb68XtBf6Q#/registration
Replay: A recording will be made available on the Company's website following the event.

On June 16, 2026, Regency Silver released complete assay results from nine drill holes totalling 6,234 metres drilled in the 2026 portion of the campaign. The results confirmed additional high-grade gold-copper-silver mineralization at depth and continued expansion of the Dios Padre breccia system.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

REG-26-35 (Most Significant Hole to Date): 5.06 g/t Au, 41.85 g/t Ag and 1.10% Cu over 36.35m, within a broader 96.00m zone averaging 2.08 g/t Au
REG-26-29 (High-Grade Silver): 266.04 g/t Ag and 0.56% Cu over 7.55m, approximately 250m below the historic Dios Padre Silver mine
System Scale Confirmed: The mineralized breccia body now extends approximately 775 metres down-plunge and remains open in all directions
Vertical Zoning Confirmed: Silver-copper-rich mineralization at shallower depths transitioning to gold-copper at depth - a pattern consistent with a large, robust magmatic-hydrothermal porphyry-epithermal system

These drill results are consistent with previous high grade assay results from drilling at Dios Padre which include:

REG-23-21: 38 metres of 7.36 g/t gold
REG-22-01: 36 metres of 6.84 g/t gold, 0.88% copper, and 21.8 g/t silver
