Iain Stewart, PhD is our newly appointed Director and Vice President of Strategic Planning. A physicist and mathematician by training, Mr. Stewart brings 32 years of progressive technical and management experience to ensure the success of business clients worldwide. Since 2009, he has worked with Strategic Development Partners to mentor start-up companies in areas of technology and management.

Over his career Mr. Carey has been responsible for raising several million dollars in investment capital.

Ron Ruby is our newly appointed director. He has over 20 years of experience in the Heavy Equipment Industry. From humble beginnings in the parts warehouse, quickly moving up through Sales/Rental Management for the same dealership in Montana, to managing an excavation company in Wyoming, to starting his own heavy equipment sales and rental company, Equipment Trucks, Inc. (“ETI”) in 2002, he understands how to motivate staff at every level to maintain the highest levels of customer satisfaction. Currently, he services a number of mining clients both domestically and internationally. As a result, Mr. Ruby and his team have grown ETI from a small, local equipment dealer to a company that has repeat customers across the United States as well as in all corners of the world.

His knowledge and relationships in the heavy equipment industry, as well as his experience building and managing large construction and heavy equipment companies, will serve Goldspan well as it readies itself for actual production of gold and other precious minerals.
