BARU GOLD COMPLETES LAND CLEARING AND PROVIDES
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE AT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
Vancouver, BC – Baru Gold Corp (the “Company” or “Baru”) is pleased to announce
it has substantially completed clearing of the land and commenced earthworks on the heap
leach pad for the Sangihe gold project.
Initial capacity of the heap operation has been set at 100,000 tonnes. The heap leach pad
measures 127 by 64 meters. There are currently more than 60 labourers working on the
construction project and 90% are local hires from Sangihe Island. This number will
significantly increase once production commences. All equipment required for
construction will be contracted on the island . Materials that are not available locally will
be sourced from Manado which is in the same province as S angihe. The construction of
the heap leach facility does not require the removal or relocation of any residences.
Baru Gold, along with its contractors, have cleared the principal production area, including
grubbing and are in the process of rough grading to plan. The next focus will be to
construct pond berms and compacting to engineering specifications in preparation for
installation of the leach pad liner and processing facility installation.
Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals and other
compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and
re-separate them after their division from other earth materials . A form of lower cost
methods of mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the
chemicals via drip systems to the ore, whereas in situ mining lacks these liners and pulls
pregnant solution up to obtain the minerals. Heap leaching is widely used in modern large-
scale mining operations as it produces the desired concentrates at a lower cost compared
to conventional processing methods such as flotation, agitation, and vat leaching.
Terry Filbert, President, CEO and Director, commented, “ The start of construction of the
pads and pond facilities is another milestone for our project at Sangihe. For many years,
I have envisioned the goal of gold production being realized and I could not be more
thrilled. Once operations are running smoothly and reliable cashflow is being generated
at Sangihe, we can parlay that success to the next phase of growth at Baru Gold. With land
acquisition on-going and preparations for the drilling program approved and ready to
begin, we foresee a very busy and exciting year.”

ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off
the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing Na tional 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" (May 30, 2017). 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 minera l reserves supported
by a feasibility study.
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 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. The Company has received a pproval for the upgrade of its licence
to advance the Sangihe project to construction and production in 2022.
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 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 expectatio ns; 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.
