BARU GOLD ADVANCES PRODUCTION READINESS – DESIGNS, PREPARES FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF AUTOMATED GOLD PRODUCTION PLANT
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Baru Gold Corp. (BARU: TSX.V | BARUF: OTCQB) (“Baru”) and its subsidiary
PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS” or the “Company”) are pleased to report progress in advancing its
production readiness at the Sangihe Gold Project while awaiting approval for the upgrade to production
operations.
The Company has successfully concluded a competitive bid and tender for the design and construction of
an Electrowinning Elution Column Plant.
An Electrowinning Elution Column Plant is a modern gold recovery facility that automates the extraction
of gold from leach solutions. Gold adsorbed onto resin is first separated in an elution column to produce a
concentrated gold-bearing solution, which then passes through electrowinning cells where an electrical
current deposits pure metallic gold onto cathodes. The process is fully automated, highly efficient ,
environmentally friendly, and delivers excellent recovery rates.
A leading Indonesian engineering and construction company was awarded the contract to design and
assemble the plant, which will be manufactured locally in Indonesia. Producing the plant domestically
supports the local economy while reducing costs and delivery times. The electrowinning system is
inexpensive costing only a few hundred thousand dollars and can become fully operational within several
months.
This strategic decision was led by Baru’s Chief Operating Officer, Sri Darmawan, who brings over 30
years of experience working with some of the largest gold mining companies in North Sulawesi. His
extensive knowledge of regional conditions, proven technologies for similar ore bodies, and understanding
of local contractor capabilities was instrumental in selecting a cost-effective, high-quality solution.
Mr. Terrence Filbert, CEO of Baru Gold, commented, “We are making excellent progress as we prepare
for the transition to production operations. While awaiting the remaining approvals for Production
Operations, we are effectively using this time to lay the groundwork for rapid implementation. I am
preparing for operational readiness while conserving capital, ensuring that once the necessary approvals
are granted, the Company can commence gold production without delay.

Key Highlights of the Production Plant Design
• Local Supply Chain: Plant construction and manufacturing will be done within Indonesia,
enabling short construction and delivery timeframes while supporting local industries and
economy.
• Scalable Output: Initial capacity to support production of 1,500 ounces of gold per month,
with the ability to double output to 3,000 ounces.
• Modular Growth: Each plant is modular in design, meaning individual plants can be
expanded to increase output as needed.
• Expandable Footprint: Multiple plants can be built across the mining area, giving Baru
the ability to rapidly scale production capacity in step with ore extraction.
• Operational Efficiency: The Modular Growth and Expandable Footprint design
minimize upfront capital costs and allows for streamlined installation and commissioning.
• Lower Operating Expenses: Electrowinning uses electricity to recover gold directly,
eliminating the need for costly reagents.
• Environmentally Friendly: By avoiding reagent-heavy processes, electrowinning reduces
chemical consumption and waste generation, minimizing environmental impacts.
ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast
of Sulawesi with a gold bearing area of approximately 25,000 ha. Sangihe has an existing National
Instrument 43-101 report suitable for mining planning and production schedules for an area within the 65-
ha area targeted for initial production. See the Company’s “Independent Technical Report on the Updated
Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi,
Indonesia” (Mining Associates Pty Ltd, February 1st, 2025). 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 intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing
mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study. 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 uncer tainty
and various technological and economic risks
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 other
Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is 30 years upon commencement of the
production phase of the project. Baru has met all the requirements of the Indonesian government and has
been granted its environmental permit.
