The company said that the largest equipment purchase is of all the contents of a mining camp located near Songea in southern Tanzania.
Ruby Creek has bought additional mineral processing equipment including two large trommels, gravity separation equipment, gravel and water pumps, piping, generators, steel shipping containers, shop equipment and all buildings and construction materials.
This purchase also includes several passenger trucks, a Komatsu PC 200 excavator, Cat D7 bulldozer, two 7-ton dump trucks, a Hino highway transport truck and a 40ft transport trailer, the company said.
In a series of other equipment purchases, Ruby Creek said it has also acquired a number of pieces of mining and support equipment including a 20-ton dump truck, four passenger trucks, a ten-ton flat deck truck with a crane and a 40-ton triple axle low-bed trailer for transporting heavy equipment.
Ruby Creek anticipates that all of this equipment will be available for use in gold production or supply activities at the Gold Plateau project over the next two months.
