                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2004
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Ruby Mining Company (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Admiralty Corporation ("Admiralty"), and Admiralty Marine
Operations, LTD. ("AMO"). Significant inter-company transactions and accounts
are eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements as of June 30, 2004 and for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's annual report. The financial information included herein reflects
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations for interim periods.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and
income and expense amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company and its subsidiaries are a development stage company and have had
only minimal revenues. The consolidated development stage deficit of the
entities is $16,269,669. These matters indicate substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company
recognizes that additional capital will be needed to continue operations and is
seeking to establish arrangements for capital or financing. The success of the
Company is dependent upon management's ability to implement plans for capital
and financing.

During the quarter ending March 31, 2004, the Company organized AMO as a
wholly-owned subsidiary. AMO, through capitalization from the Company, acquired
the New World Legacy, a research vessel for cash consideration of $429,472, and
for equity instruments of the Company valued at $350,00.

During the quarter ending June 30, 2004, the Company issued 1,371,595 shares of
common stock for cash consideration of $348,985 and forgiveness of liabilities
of $157,614. In addition the Company issued 5,329,008 warrants on the Company's
common stock during the quarter ending June 30, 2004. Each warrant is for one
share of the Company's common stock. Of these warrants issued, 852,858 were
issued as part of the private placement stock offering being conducted by the
Company during this time.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. As the Company has granted stock options and other equity
instruments to officers and others associated with the Company, earnings per
share may be diluted by these instruments. As these equity instruments would be
anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share separate from basic earnings per share
has not been presented in the accompanying statements of operations. At June 30,
2004 the Company had outstanding 8,996,384 warrants and 768,200 options on
common stock, each convertible to one share of the Company's common stock. The
options exercised to common stock and shown as a reduction of equity have been
presented in the outstanding shares presentation and in the earnings per share
presentation. The following presents the calculation of basic earnings per
share:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Ruby Mining Company (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries Admiralty
Corporation ("Admiralty") and Admiralty Marine Operations Ltd. ("AMO") are a
development stage company and have had only minimal revenues from operations.
The consolidated Company satisfied liquidity and capital requirements during the
three months ended June 30, 2004 through the issuance of 1,371,595 shares of
common stock for a consideration of $507,099 from 36 individuals. The
certificates representing these shares were issued on or about June 30, 2004. In
addition, employees of the Company have partially deferred payments of
compensation to help provide liquidity for the Company.

The Company satisfied $100,000 in acquisition costs for the New World Legacy by
issuing 800,000 five (5) year warrants at an exercise price of $0.25 per share
to one individual.

The Company entered into a Conditional Bill of Sale dated February 7, 2004 with
Caribbean Treasure Hunters, Inc. to acquire the marine research vessel the New
World Legacy for 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares are
"restricted securities" under Rule 144 issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The conditions of the acquisition of the vessel were payment of all
liens and custody expenses. At June 30, 2004, $779,472.31 total consideration
had been paid for the New World Legacy. $250,000 of this amount was in the form
of the 1,000,000 shares issued to Caribbean Treasure Hunters, Inc., and $100,000
was recorded in exchange for 800,000 five year warrants exercisable at $0.25
each. The remainder, $447,920.56 was paid by the Company in cash, in part from
cash proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of promissory notes
totaling $310,819 (with 7-year terms and annual interest rates of 6.75%)
provided by two individuals (one an executive officer of the Company). Upon
satisfaction of the conditions of the conditional Bill of Sale, one five-year
warrant exercisable at $0.25 per share will be issued to these individuals for
each principal dollar loaned.


PLAN OF OPERATION

As the Company has commenced operations on the Pedro Bank in Jamaican waters,
management believes that the Company has enhanced access to investments of
capital. Management is utilizing existing relationships and business advisors to
seek additional opportunities for capital investments. Currently, Management is
seeking to privately place $1,750,000 worth of restricted stock and warrants at
a price of $0.70 per Unit (with each Unit consisting of one share of common
stock and two warrants)to accredited investors. With the Company's current cash
level, operations of the Company would be limited over the next twelve months
without an additional capital investment to satisfy existing liabilities and to
fund future operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2004 the Company
satisfied liquidity needs through short-term borrowings, deferral of some
salaries and expenses and the sale of equity securities.





                                       10




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company had no revenue from operations during the three months ended June
30, 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred a net
loss of $673,790 compared to a net loss of $364,767 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs associated
with the Company's marine expedition at the Pedro Bank, Jamaica, including
professional fees for archaeological costs in Jamaica. The Company also incurred
professional fees for settlement of legal disputes, and a $69,657 increase in
salary accruals. The Company's present activities consist of establishing and
maintaining financing and funding sources and opportunities and establishing and
maintaining relationships and arrangements that will enhance the Company's
ability to pursue historic shipwrecks. Additionally, the Company acquired a
search and recovery ship, the New World Legacy (the "Ship"), which it has
deployed on the Pedro Bank and on other projects and the Company continues
building the first ATLISTM field units to be used in the search efforts on the
Pedro Bank.

For the three months ended June 30, 2004 depreciation and amortization have
increased from the three months ending June 30, 2003 due to the New World Legacy
acquisition. This amount should increase in the future with building of the
ATLISTM field units and the acquisition of other equipment. General and
administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2004 have increased
from those costs for the three months ended June 30, 2003 due to increased
activities related to obtaining funding and due to the acquisition of the Ship
and continued work associated with building the ATLISTM field units.

For the six month period ending June 30, 2004, the Company incurred a loss of
$1,423,564 compared to a loss of $691,871 in the same period ending June 30,
2003. The increased loss is due principally to expenses and costs associated
with the Company's survey operations on the Pedro Bank, Jamaica and the expenses
and costs associated with restructuring Company debts.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral forward-looking
statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the

before filing this report, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's

reports in a timely manner the information the Company must disclose in its
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act. G. Howard Collingwood, Chief
Executive Officer and Murray D. Bradley, Jr., Chief Financial Officer, reviewed
and participated in this evaluation. Base on this evaluation, Messrs.
Collingwood and Bradley concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

         (B) INTERNAL CONTROLS. Since the date of the evaluation described
above, there have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses. The Company is currently reviewing proposed internal
control procedures to increase compliance with SEC reporting through Forms 3, 4
and 5 by individuals affected by these requirements.
