Mining Efforts -
Thursday July 27, 1:00 pm ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 27, 2006 --

Franklin Mining, Inc.
(Other OTC:FMNJ.PK - News) CEO Jaime Melgarejo announced
today that Bolivia's Minister of Mines and Metallurgy,
Walter Villarroel Morochi, released a written statement
of support and commitment to organize and
"guarantee a normal functioning mining operation"
for COMIBOL and FMNJ.

Bolivia's Minister -
was also quoted from a press conference, promoting mining
development with the assurance that "Bolivia remains competitive
on an international level."

In addition to the letter of commitment addressed
to Franklin Mining, the press conference was held on
May 3, 2006, with -
the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada
Convention in Toronto.

Bolivian Minister of Mines and Metallurgy,
Mr. Walter Villarroel Morochi, addressed the need to
"create a competitive and secure environment for mining
investment that will foster job creation, infrastructure
modernization and industry partnership."

Morochi was quoted as saying,
"We believe that many of these existing mining areas
and areas with new potential, when properly evaluated
with modern exploration technology and mining techniques,
will highlight the potential for the discovery of
important mineral deposits --

deposits which can surely have the opportunity to be transformed
into business enterprises of world-wide importance."

"One of the key objectives of my office is to send
a positive message to participants at the annual
convention of the PDAC, to attract investor interest
in developing and expanding the small existing mining
operations, as we are confident that there are very high
probabilities of finding many more -
important mineral deposits.

Currently, we have an extensive list of investment
requests from mining cooperatives and active mining
companies that range from one-half million dollars
to 2 million dollars.

These are important opportunities that are available
to be taken advantage of."

"Furthermore, we will take measures that will encourage
investment in ventures both large and small.

One example of this will be the declaration of
'integrated mining areas' that will respect pre-existing mineral
rights in areas where many small mining
concessions exist by unifying development efforts.

This will allow the Bolivian state to promote
the search of strategic partners for the development
of these areas. "

"This is just one example of several measures that
will be taken to promote mining development and
ensure Bolivia remains competitive on an
international level.

We are pleased and very willing to provide any
information that the investors interested in
our country will require. "

"I am pleased to have this opportunity to send
the message from the President,
that we are working hard to establish the legal
security that investment in the mining industry
requires on a long term basis."
