Ruby Creek Resources, Inc. provided an update on gold mining operations. Ruby Creek continues the test and commissioning phase of mining operations on the GS1 mining license area. In the month of February, several test pits were dug and material processed through its wash plant system. Gold recovered from the pits have yielded positive results in terms of the implied grade of the material tested and indicate that the gold recovery system is working well. Further minor modifications to the wash plant system in March are expected to increase recovery rates and to handle the constant processing of moderate material volumes in April. Rainy season has just begun in Tanzania where March and April typically have the highest totals of precipitation. Ruby Creek's mining and logistics staff is working through the weather challenges by successfully repairing and moving mining equipment to the Project. All equipment is expected to be at the mining license production area around the end of April. It is anticipated that deliveries of essential earth moving equipment to the production site from the Songea and Dar es Salaam areas will occur in the next four weeks. Ruby Creek presently has one of three wash plant systems operating. Two trommels will be moved from Songea, modified for gold production activities and will form the backbone of the anticipated two other wash plant systems in coming weeks.
