Franklin Mining, Inc. (FMNJ)

[silver_bars]

from a capital perspective, a FMNJ joint-venture with one of the majors might make some sense......however, if you read the history of Cerro Rico, there is a VERY DEEP DISTRUST OF OUTSIDERS.

I sense that if Jamie can do a deal with COMIBOL, it would be SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER obtaining capital from the Bolivian Govt. or similar entity...

from a TRUST perspective, if Jamie can gain the trust of COMIBOL.... COMIBOL must be 100% assured and satisfied that Jamie won't be doing ANYTHING that hurts/diminishes the INTERESTS of COMIBOL.
