Rua Gold (TSX-V:RUA) has appointed Emmett D’Urso as Vice President of Exploration, working closely with COO Simon Henderson to strengthen the company’s technical capabilities.
D’Urso has accumulated more than 13 years of experience in mineral exploration, with a specific focus on Fosterville-style gold deposits in the Victorian Goldfields.
He recently played a key role in planning and budgeting drill programs across privately held Global Ore Discovery’s antimony projects in New South Wales.
D’Urso also served as a senior site official for De Grey Mining as the company progressed the study phase at the Hemi Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, providing operational oversight.
CEO Robert Eckford says D’Urso’s experience working on analog deposits in the Bendigo-Ballarat region brings valuable insight that is applicable to Rua’s portfolio.
“His addition strengthens our technical team as we advance our portfolio, particularly in Reefton,” Eckford says.
“With Emmett on board, Simon Henderson, our COO, will be able to dedicate more time to driving forward our Glamorgan Project, where we expect to ramp up activities in Q4 2025.
“The ongoing expansion of our technical team with such high-calibre talent highlights both the strength of our projects and our commitment to unlocking their full potential.”
Rua Gold is a mineral explorer focused on advancing its portfolio of assets in New Zealand.
