BARU GOLD UPDATES SHAREHOLDERS ON APPROVAL FOR PRODUCTION

OPERATIONS

VANCOUVER, B.C. - Baru Gold Corp. (BARU: TSX.V | BARUF: OTCQB) (“Baru” or the

“Company”) and its subsidiary PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS” or the “Company”) are pleased

to report to shareholders on progress in securing approval to begin production operations.

The Company formally requested the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) to grant

approval for Production Operations without furthe r delay. The Company highlighted that the

absence of lawful mining operations on Sangihe Is land has contributed to the growth of illegal

mining activities, depriving the Republic of In donesia of revenue while undermining regulatory

oversight and responsible management of its mineral resources.

On May 26, 2026, a meeting was held between Company management and the Director of Mineral

Business Development of ESDM to discuss the re quest and review the application for Production

Operations. Also in attendance were representatives of the Legal Section of the Directorate General

of Mineral and Coal and representatives of the Legal Bureau of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral

Resources.

The meeting went extremely well. ESDM presented their review of the Company’s application for

Approval to Production Operations. There were no significant issues raised.

On May 29, 2026, the Company received a formal letter from ESDM accurately summarizing the

meeting and outlining the requested updates on doc uments that are necessary to complete the

application for Production Operations. The updates are administrative in na ture and reflect the

transition into a new calendar year.

Specifically, the Company has been asked to provide updated:

• Confirmation of current corporate organizational structure and beneficial ownership;

• Audited financial statements, including the fiscal year ending 2025; and

• Tax compliance certificates for the Company and relevant management personnel.

The Company has made updating and submission of these documents its highest priority. These are

standard corporate and personal documents that are easy to obtain.

ESDM provides the clarity we have been seeking regarding the issuance for Approval to Production

Operations. We are pleased that the items are straightforward administrative updates and do not

involve any additional tax obligations or materi al changes to our application. We remain

committed to working closely with ESDM to secure final approval as quickly as possible. We look

forward to announcing the start of production operations.”
