* Franklin Mining Inc.
LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 19, 2009 --
Franklin Mining, Inc. -
(Other OTC:FMNJ.PK - News) (Frankfurt:FMJ.F - News)
CEO William Petty has confirmed that he has been in talks
with owners of an operating mine in Bolivia
to assume responsibility for total operations.
With current operations generating gross receipts
of approximately $2,300 per ton, Franklin would benefit
immediately by assuming management responsibilities.
The combined assets of two operations would benefit Franklin.
The opportunity to share capital assets together
with Franklin's professional services and other equipment
on an ongoing basis represents potential significant
savings in operating budgets.
And Franklin would benefit by immediate receipts from
minerals processing and for its management services.
In discussing recent reports of Franklin having entered
these negotiations, Mr. Petty said, "Not only is this
an exciting business opportunity, it's an honor for
Franklin to have been approached by another factor
in Bolivia's growing mining industry.
Our management team's work in redeveloping the Escala has
not gone unnoticed by colleagues and competitors.
"The potential of a significantly expanded mining presence
in the Potosi area is attractive for several reasons,
primarily because it's an easy route to expanding our
core business with very little investment.
But it comes just as we are about to launch second-phase
operations with our Escala joint-venture.
We will announce a decision at the appropriate time."
