Rizian Royal Gold

Rizian Royal Gold, also known as RRG, is Rizia’s official gold mining corporation. It was established in the late 17th century by the Rubaz family, who unified the Kingdom’s small-scale gold mining operations into a single, state-owned entity. The establishment of RRG solidified Rizia’s position as one of the Merkopan continent’s most important gold producers. The mined gold contributed substantially to the national treasury, while benefiting Rizia’s trade relations with its neighbors. The company has been majority private since the mid-1800s, when Queen Lyza Toras negotiated the acquisition of a rival corporation run by Aurelia Itxaro, a Montaklar-based industrialist whose revolutionary new mining technology had the potential to vastly increase gold yields. The combination of Rizia’s state resources and Itxaro’s equipment led to an age of unprecedented prosperity. RRG's involvement in the Meftiem International Trade Zone, beginning in 1916, further enriched the company and increased its importance to the Crown. RRG is headquartered in Bronaz and currently operates most of its mines in the Brenas province. Its CEO, Rusty Montoro, holds majority ownership in the company.
