Ridgestone Mining Inc. announced the appointment of Mr. Steven I. Weiss, PhD, CPG, as Chief Independent Technical Advisor for its Rebeico Gold and Copper Project, located in Sonora, Mexico. Mr. Weiss has worked as an exploration geologist since 1979 in various roles from generative through to senior project management. Mr. Weiss began work in Mexico in 2003 when he joined Glamis Gold to lead their exploration team at the El Sauzal gold mine (total of 1.7M oz gold produced) and in the surrounding Sierra Madre Occidental. He continued working in Mexico for Goldcorp, following their acquisition of Glamis Gold in 2006, where he built and led the team at its Camino Rojo gold-silver deposit, which proved up an initial 1.6M oz gold in reserves and more than doubled its gold resource from 3.4M oz to 7.5M oz gold. Steve held the position of Mexico Exploration Manager when he departed Goldcorp in 2013.
