BARU GOLD CORP COMPLETES LAND TAX PAYMENTS FOR SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT,
CLEARING PATH TO PRODUCTION OPERATIONS
VANCOUVER, B.C. - Baru Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Baru”) and its subsidiary PT. Tambang Mas
Sangihe (“TMS” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce to shareholders that the outstanding land use
taxes on the Sangihe Gold Project have been paid.
Land use tax payments made by the Company totalled approximately CAD$940,000 (11.2 billion Rp).
Paying this land use tax was the key obstacle in obtaining approval for the upgrade from Exploration to
Production Operations. With this milestone achieved, the Company now meets both the technical and
financial requirements set by the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to receive the
upgrade.
The upgrade to Production Operations is guaranteed by Indonesian law in accordance with the Company’s
Contract of Work. Shareholders will be notified when the upgrade is issued.
Baru continues to make rapid progress finalizing the USD$100 million financing package announced on
May 15, 2025. Draft agreements and documentation have been prepared and will be exchanged over the
next few days. Given the current speed of progress, the Company remains confident in closing the financing
within the next several weeks.
Mr. Terry Filbert, CEO of Baru Gold, commented, "With regulatory and financing milestones ad vancing
in tandem, the Company plans to begin operations as soon as possible . Once the Production Operations
upgrade is issued, I anticipate having the financial means to scale production faster than previously
anticipated. I would personally like to thank those that provided the funding necessary to pay the nearly 1
million dollars in land use taxes. Their financial support is an expression of confidence in the Sangihe Gold
Project and a significant step forward for the Company and all its stakeholders."
