North Bay Resources, Inc. announced progress report on work ongoing at the Ruby Mine in Sierra County, California. Prior to processing the Black Channel gravels, a stockpile of recently-mined gravels from the White Channel was processed on Tuesday of this week, and 16.2 grams of coarse gold were recovered from a 69 ton bulk sample. The concentrates from this run were processed on August 27, 2014 and another 12.7 grams of gold were recovered, bringing the total recovery of this bulk sample to approximately 29 grams of gold.

It is instructive to note that the initial bulk samples from the White Channel processed last spring resulted in the recovery of very fine gold that would typically be expected to come from the rim of a channel. The Company also reports that the construction of the new raise to the recently-discovered South Terrace has progressed over 30 feet, and is now more than halfway up to its destination approximately 60 feet above the Ruby Adit. An additional shift has been added this week to accelerate its completion.

Once the raise is completed, the company expects to begin bulk sampling of the South Terrace gravels. A 5 pound sample of gravels from drill hole C-2 revealed visible gold, thereby confirming that the gravels in the South Terrace are gold bearing. The Ruby Property covers approximately 2,312 contiguous acres, only a small portion of which has been explored to date.

The property consists of the subsurface mineral rights of two patented claims totaling approximately 435 acres and 59 unpatented claims containing approximately 1,877 acres. The equipment, fixed assets, and infrastructure in place include a 1,000 yard per day placer wash plant, 50-ton per day quartz mill, 6,000 feet of tracked haulage, and related support equipment needed for underground mining operations.
