NEW YORK, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruby Creek
Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: RBYC), a gold exploration and mining
company with operations in Tanzania, is pleased to announce it is
strengthening mining operations management in Tanzania.
Ruby Creek is pleased to announce
the addition of James "Sonny" Dalzell as mining operations
manager. Sonny has over 40 years mining experience, primarily
in the development and production of placer deposits. He has
spent 20 years of his career in gold mining where he has
accumulated expertise in underground mining and placer
mining. Sonny had two operational gold mines in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) that were comprised of
both hard rock and alluvial source gold. He also has numerous
years of experience with mining and cutting several types of
gemstones such as emeralds, rubies and cat's eye. Sonny
developed and manufactured small scale mining equipment, which has
been successfully demonstrated to the Austrian Government.
Ruby Creek is delighted to
announce that Bob Gray has been
promoted to Director of Operations. Bob has set up mining
operations in several African countries such as in South Africa for gold and diamonds,
Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Liberia and the Congo for mining a wide variety of mineral
resources. He has a broad knowledge of the minerals industry
particularly in gold, dimension stone, diamonds, coal, tantalum,
and titanium from a project management to consulting to brokering
perspectives. Bob has been associated with mining projects in
Ghana, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Malawi, Botswana and Tanzania.
Bob also has extensive general business management experience at
the executive level, in large corporate environments as well as in
smaller private and medium sized listed companies. He has
been a Managing Director of a public South African company and has
done work initializing listings and is very familiar with market
requirements for mining companies. Bob has a Master of
Business Leadership (MBL) degree and Bachelor of Science from the
University of South Africa
(UNISA).
Dan Bartley, CEO of Ruby Creek commented, "We have been very pleased
with Bob's mobilization and project management skills in
Tanzania. His strong leadership has positively impacted
mining operations. Bob is now streamlining all areas of
operations, which has saved money and improved logistics."
Dan continued, "Sonny brings to Ruby
Creek a tremendous amount of mining experience. Not
many mining engineers have experience in placer operations, which
encompasses a large part of Sonny's career. His long mining
experience in gemstones comes as an added benefit to Ruby Creek due to the wide array of stones we
are presently recovering from our GS1 mining license area."
