SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2005--Franklin Mining, Bolivia, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Mining Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets:FMNJ). Franklin Mining is excited to announce that Franklin Mining, Bolivia has gone cash flow positive for January! CEO Mr. Melgarejo commented, "According to a report that we received from Ing. Rocha (the project engineer) from Dec. 29 to Jan. 30, our gold sales were about $34,600.00 USD. Our cost of operations and administration during this time was about $16,720.00 USD; this does not include loan repayment and other obligations. This left a cash surplus of about $17,900.00USD." Mr. Melgarejo added, "As per our business plan this money was re-invested in the mine during the shut down for repair, maintenance and expenses in February. This should minimize our down time for the next couple of months and allow us to increase our production. 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."
