Franklin Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FMNJ) (FRANKFURT: FMJ) Chairman, CEO
and President William A. Petty is pleased to announce that the contract
to operate Bolivia's San Antonio de Turiri antimony mine has been
executed. Located in the Department of Potosi about 100 km from the city

treated as three different mining sections. Production records and
laboratory analysis reports between December 1969 and September 2008
confirm steady monthly output. Details on current and anticipated
increases in monthly production are scheduled to be released in an
upcoming Memo to Shareholders.
