Malibu, CA, United States - CEO Robert Eckford discusses government engagement, antimony supply opportunities, project development milestones, and the company's targeted path toward production in New Zealand

The global race to secure critical mineral supply chains continues to intensify, and antimony has emerged as one of the most strategically important commodities for Western governments and industry.

In this edition of The Ellis Martin Report and Money Talk Radio, Ellis Martin speaks with Robert Eckford, CEO of RUA Gold (TSE:RUA) (NZE:RGI) (OTCMKTS:NZAUF) (FRA:X9R), regarding the company's advancing Auld Creek Gold-Antimony Project located in New Zealand's historic Reefton Goldfield.

During the interview, Mr. Eckford discusses recent meetings with government officials in New Zealand and Washington, D.C., as policymakers increasingly focus on securing reliable sources of critical minerals outside traditional supply channels. Antimony is widely used in defense systems, manufacturing, electronics, and energy technologies, making it a strategic priority for many Western nations.

The conversation also covers RUA Gold's recently completed Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), ongoing drilling and resource expansion efforts, progress through New Zealand's fast-track permitting framework, and the company's targeted production timeline of 2028.

Key discussion points include:

- Growing global demand for antimony and critical minerals

- Strategic government interest in securing mineral supply chains

- New Zealand's accelerated mine permitting process

- Resource growth and ongoing drilling activities

- Potential government-supported financing opportunities

- Project economics and development milestones
