BARU GOLD ACQUIRES MAJORITY OF PHASE ONE
TARGETED LAND ACQUISITION
Vancouver, BC - Baru Gold Corp (“Baru”) or the (“Company”) is excited to announce it has acquired the majority of the Phase One land targeted to start the initial mining production process per the mining plan previously announced in the news release on April 21st, 2021 - Land Acquisition Process.
A majority of the Phase One land acquisition has been secured and the acquisition of the remaining hectares is expected to be completed over the next 30 days. The initial land to be acquired is more than sufficient for the first phase of the operational plan. The processing operations will start with two heap leach pads. The Company is pleased to achieve this major milestone while navigating the delays and shutdowns associated with the latest impact of COVID-19.
Baru is equally proud of the relationships it has built with the local residents, who are fully supportive of the Company’s initiatives, including the jobs and business opportunities being created on the island. They welcome a fully engineered mining operation that has the full support of the federal government.
The Sangihe Gold project is fully compliant with Indonesia’s stringent environmental regulations (“AMDAL”) and has been issued a federally approved Contract of Work which is valid until 2051, and holds a granted mining permit.
Construction of the mine operation is soon to commence while the Company awaits the arrival of key staff and equipment onto Sangihe Island.
Note: The Company cautions readers that the any production decision made by the Company will not be based on a NI 43-101 feasibility study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability and as such, there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration risks and production and economic risks related to design and engineering, manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the project's output will not be salable at a price that will cover the project's operating and maintenance costs.
ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe gold project is located on the island of Sangihe off the northern coast of Sulawesi and has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" dated May 30, 2017. Only 10% of the gold bearing area has been explored. Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The Company's 70-percent interest in the Sangihe-mineral-tenement Contract of Work ("CoW") is held through PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (TMS). The remaining 30-percent interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is for 30 years upon commencement of the production phase of the project.
