RE: FRANKLIN MINING -- FMNJ --



The Old Franklin Gold, Silver &
Copper Mines & Mill -

To All -
Don't underestimate FMNJ backbone -
The Great Franklin Mines -
Rich Old Mines -
the Gold made U.S. Rich from the start -

Ex. 1. Note. Seaton Mines - at the bottom of
FMNJ old Gold Mines list -

- The great Rocky Mountain Goldrush -
had begun and almost overnight 50,000 men poured
into Clear Creek Canyon,
stretching from today's city of Golden, West to
Silver Plume and North over Seaton Mountain to
Central City.

Many of these miners would be rewarded well:
the diggin's around Idaho Springs -

yielded over one million seven hundred thousand
dollars at $18.00 to $35.00 per ounce of Gold!

Many of the more successful mines were on - Seaton Mountain -
between Idaho Springs and Central City.

Over time, as the shafts got deeper and deeper,
the miner's work became harder and harder.

Imagine, if you can, raising the ore from depths
of one thousand feet or more in an ore bucket
containing one thousand pounds or more---and
if that was not difficult enough, the deeper
the mine shafts would go, the more water
the miners would encounter.

The pumps and other equipment used one hundred
and fifty years ago was not efficient and
it was rumored that some the -
the very richest mines may have to shut down -
because of flooding and difficulty in "raising"
the gold-bearing ore.

The Franklin Mines and Franklin Mill -
History -

* Franklin Mining Company -
was established as a Colorado -
exploration and mining -
company in Est. 1864.

* In 1865, the claims that comprise -
The Franklin Mines -
were located about 1½ miles north of
Idaho Springs and the vein system -
that became the ore bodies of -
The Franklin Mines -
were also discovered that year,
with the sinking of the Franklin shaft.

* Between 1865 and 1870 -
shafts were also sunk -
at the Gem Mine -
Freighters Friend Mine -
Franklin 73 Mine -
Franklin 87 Mine -
Alpha Mine -
Reilly Mine -
Silver Age Mine -
Freemen Mine -
and
Seaton Mines -

that would later be combined -
all of the above into -

- * Franklin Mines * -.

* Subsequently, Company grew to a number -
of underground mining operations -
and its own floatation mill,
in Colorado,
producing concentrates of -
gold, silver, lead and zinc.

* The Franklin Mines -
were a significant producer of ore,
in the area.
The Mining operations, including
The Franklin Mines -
expanded and contracted with
the price of Gold and Silver.

* Mining commenced in 1865 -
and continued on an almost uninterrupted
basis until the outbreak of World War I,
when the US Government curtailed -
Gold mining.

* During the Great Depression,
there was a renewal of mining activity.

However, during World War II,
Gold mines were again shut down,
by the Government.

* Limited mining activity has occurred at -
The Franklin Mines -
and other area operations -
since the late 1940s.

* In 1981, the Company
commenced a rehabilitation program -
to extend and rehabilitate the shafts
and tunnels in place at -
The Franklin Mines -
install -

The Franklin Mill -
and search for and delineate
a commercial ore body.

* In 1983, the Company -
completed -
The Franklin Mill.

* In 2003 a new board of directors -
was voted in to bring new direction.

* In 2004 the name was changed -
to reflect the history of the original -
Franklin Mining Company.

History often repeat itself -

Franklin Mines -

* The Franklin Mines -
and Franklin Mill -
are located in Clear Creek County,
Colorado approximately 2.7 miles north
of the town of Idaho Springs,
which is accessible from Interstate 70
approximately 33 miles west of Denver.

From Idaho Springs, a county maintained
gravel road connecting Idaho Springs
with Central City in Gilpin County passes
within 1/4 of a mile of -
The Franklin Mines -
facilities and offices.

A minor roadway, also maintained
by the County, allows access to
The Franklin Mines -
within 1/8 of a mile.

The mines location is accessible year round,
except in the case of a major snowstorm
in winter months.

The Company is looking for an joint venture
partner of this property -
its up to the FMNJ - Board of Directors -
and it may change with a higher Gold POG,
Silver and Copper prices.

Note. The mining Laws -
in the U.S. has not changed -
since Est. 1874.

The Old Franklin Mines -
- has been trading above $100.00/share by itself -









- History often repeat itself -

The old Franklin Gold Mines -
will be Re-Commissioned one day -
for FMNJ has only got sniff of -
the US Golden Treasure Chest -

- most values have been saved -
for a rainy day in the safest safety box -
still all of -
The Old Franklin Gold Mines -
are in good standing and -
with the substantial higher -
POG Price of Gold -
should make FMNJ move to -
at least 1/2 silver buck/share -
with any fair market valuation -
by itself -

never mind the Golden bars and
Goldore of Mayaya? -

Our cost of operations and administration
during this time
was about $16,720.00 USD;

We have also asked one of our technical advisors,
with extensive expertise in placer mines
in the area we are working, to review
the operation and advise recommendations."
