Vancouver, Canada – Baru Gold Corp. (“Baru Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
a pivotal addition to its leadership team with the appointment of Brigadier General (Ret.) Rudolf

This appointment represents a significant milestone in the Company’s strategy to secure operational
success and community integration for the Sangihe Gold Project.
Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Warouw is a senior military leader with a distinguished career spanning multiple
high-level command and strategic roles in the Army of the Indonesian National Armed Forces. His

(Pangkolakops) in East Timor. At the time, these positions were the most strategically important
and politically influential military commands in Indonesia.
As Commander of the East Timor Operations, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Warouw was responsible for all
security, territorial control, intelligence coordination, and operations in East Timor. During his
career he successfully reduced corruption and increased transparency and account ability in the
Army.

acknowledges him as his Army Commander.
Beyond his national stature, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Warouw is a proud native of Minahasa, North
Sulawesi, where Sangihe Island is located, and has deep, multi-generational roots in the region. He
is widely revered in Indonesia for his military service and his contributions to national sports
governance and public institutions.
His appointment directly addresses the need for robust local stakeholder engagement. His
longstanding, trusted relationships with community leaders and regional organizations make
him uniquely positioned to bridge gaps, foster trust, and accelerate PT TMS’s mandate on Sangihe
Island.
