BARU GOLD COMPLETES AREA SURVEY IN PREPARATION OF PRODUCTION
PLANT CONSTRUCTION & DRILL PROGRAM
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 further progress in advancing
its production readiness at the Sangihe Gold Project while awaiting approval for the upgrade to production
operations.
The Company has successfully completed a multi-week land and aerial survey in the Company’s
concession area, combining drone-based LiDAR scanning with on-site ground measurements, to produce a
high-resolution topographic map of the project.
LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances from the air, producing
a detailed 3D representation of the ground surface—even through dense vegetation. When integrated with
drone imagery and GPS data, LiDAR allows the mapping of subtle variations in terrain, inaccessible, and
steep areas safely, and generate topographical maps at centimetre-levels of accuracy.
This advanced approach provides significantly more precise and comprehensive data than traditional
surveys, ensuring that engineering, environmental, and geological teams are all working from the same
digital base map.
The survey was carried out to support several key objectives in preparation for the next phase of
development: (1) construction of the automated production plant, (2) expansion of resource in the upcoming
drill exploration program, and (3) strengthening environmental and compliance foundations before
operations begin.
Production Plant Construction
The Electrowinning Elution Column Plant will operate as an automated gold recovery system. This system
is specifically designed to optimize the extraction of gold . The engineering and construction teams will
utilize the newly completed 3D LiDAR terrain models to identify the most suitable location for the plant’s
foundation, associated infrastructure, and access roads.
Before construction begins, it is critical to have accurate, high -resolution data on land contours and
elevations. This information allows the Company to design a n efficient and well -planned site layout ,
reducing potential construction delays, and minimizing future maintenance or modification costs.

By using this detailed spatial information, Baru Gold can accelerate the construction timeline, streamline
the delivery of materials and utilities, and reduce overall build time. The result is a more efficient
construction phase, a safer work environment , and a solid technical foundation for long -term plant
operations.
Drill Exploration Program
Ahead of the upcoming drill expansion program , the new area and surface model will be integrated with
the Company’s existing geological and drilling data . By combining precise surface topography with
subsurface geological information, the Company can better understand how mineralized zones relate to the
terrain and structural features of the gold deposit.
The integration of the drone and LiDAR with the geological and drilling data will allow the Company
to identify new high -priority drill targets , reduce uncertainty in resource models, and guide future
exploration and engineering work with greater confidence. The result will be a more reliable planning for
assessment of expanded resource estimates.
By strengthening the geological model and reducing uncertainty, we will have a more precise understanding
of the gold resources – supporting stronger economic evaluations and better planning decisions.
Environmental and Compliance Foundation
The survey provides critical information for environmental and safety compliance. The LiDAR and field
data measurements provide baseline data for future environmental monitoring.
Baru’s environmental team will use th e information to develop a comprehensive environmental mapping
framework prior to the start of operations. This ensures the Company can track environmental changes
and restore the land to its original condition once mining concludes—an important step in responsible and
sustainable resource development.
The data will also allow comparison between pre-mining and post-mining landforms, which is essential for
rehabilitation.
Mr. Terrence Filbert, CEO of Baru Gold, commented, “Completing this detailed drone and land survey
marks an important milestone in our preparation for mine development. The area survey provides the
clarity and precision needed for engineering design, regulatory compliance, and environmental
stewardship. This work lays the technical foundation to ensure Baru begins construction with accuracy,
accountability, and care for the environment and community.”
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.
ABOUT BARU GOLD CORP.
Baru Gold Corporation is a dynamic junior gold developer with NI 43-101 gold resources in Indonesia, one
of the top ten gold producing countries in the world. Based in Indonesia and North America, Baru’s team
