The recently discovered fully-compensated half-metal, manganese-ruthenium-gallium (MRG), is a very promising material for spintronics. It possesses tunable magnetic moment, high magnetic anisotropy field and high spin polarisation. Here, we use the extraordinary Hall effect and longitudinal magnetoresistance to characterise the properties of MRG. Experiments are carried out in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD). The spin-flop transition, as well as a large spontaneous Hall angle (over 2%) is observed. The magneto-transport in MRG is shown to be dominated by one sublattice only. The spontaneous Hall angle is non-zero even at the magnetic compensation temperature (i.e. when the total magnetic moment is zero). MRG behaves magnetically like an antiferromagnet and electrically as a normal ferromagnet with a sizeable spin-polarisation.
