Baru Gold Corp.
 

September 6, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, BC – Baru Gold Corp (the “Company” or “Baru”) (TSXV:BARU) | (OTC:BARUF) wishes to provide an update on the appeal of a lawsuit filed in Jakarta, Indonesia on June 23, 2021, against the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (the “MEMR”), the government department which issued the operational mining permit to Baru’s subsidiary, PT Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”). While Baru was not named in the lawsuit, the court granted permission for a representative of Baru to attend the proceedings in support of MEMR, as it relates to the mining permit that was granted to TMS.

On April 20, 2022, the lawsuit against the MEMR was dismissed. On May 9, 2022, the plaintiff filed an appeal and on September, 2, 2022, the appeal was successful and the April ruling was overturned.

The reasons for the decision have not yet been released. The Company will be holding meetings with the MEMR this week to discuss this recent court decision and the next steps required to ensure the Company continues towards our goal of completion of construction and start of production on the project.  

Terry Filbert, CEO of Baru Gold, commented “It is important to note that this decision only pertains to the operational mining permit issued in February of  2021. TMS continues to hold a valid Contract of Work (“CoW”) with the Indonesian government which remains unaffected by the decision against the MEMR. We are disappointed with the court decision, however, the CoW permits TMS to explore our licenced area. The Company can and will proceed with the planned resource development program of infill drilling to upgrade some of the inferred resources into indicated and measured resource status.”

 

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 National 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 mineral 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.

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 expectations; 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.
