Ross has had more than 35 years experience in the mining
industry. He has worked as a miner and geologist in coal and mineral exploration,
mining operations, mineral processing, and mine finance.
It was during an attempt to stabilize and add value to gold mine tailings, by using them to produce ceramic products, that he developed the Ceramext concept. The first tiles successfully produced using the Ceramext process were made with this prototype machine built by Ross in his Pollock Pines, CA garage. Subsequently he found that other materials, such as coal fly ash, made excellent ceramic products.
Although the Ceramext concept is new to the ceramic industry, he has observed evidence of similar processes that have occurred deep within the earth's crust where nature has metamorphosed minerals into the earth's own ceramics.
