Stewards of a Golden Legacy
Ruby Gold, Inc. is the owner and asset steward of the historic Ruby Mine, one of California’s most celebrated underground placer gold deposits. For over 170 years, the Ruby has been part of the Alleghany–Downieville Mining District’s rich history, producing some of the largest gold nuggets ever discovered and remaining an important gold resource to this day.
Ruby Gold’s role is to protect and manage this historic asset while enabling responsible, modern mining through carefully selected third‑party operators. These independent professionals handle all day‑to‑day mining activities, including safety, regulatory compliance, and production, under applicable permits and oversight.
Ruby Gold provides the long‑term vision, infrastructure, and project readiness that make these operations possible, while keeping our focus on:
+ Contributing to the local economy through job creation and contract opportunities
+ Preserving the Ruby Mine’s historical and cultural significance
+ Maintaining and managing mining claims, permits, and infrastructure
+ Promoting local economic stability and mutual benefit
+ Supporting environmentally responsible and efficient operations
+ Ensuring the legacy and integrity of the Ruby Mine for generations to come
We believe in honoring the past while enabling the future and balancing stewardship of a historic resource with the benefits of carefully managed, low‑impact gold production.
