FMNJ Franklin Mining Inc (PK)

Franklin Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FMNJ) (FRANKFURT: FMJ) has signed an operating agreement for Bolivia's San Antonio de Turiri antimony mine. The Turiri agreement permitted Franklin to establish a presence in the US as a supplier of antimony as a raw material and concentrate as well as a finished metal and oxide.

Antimony has a broad range of applications in manufacturing consumer and industrial products and is a critical mineral used in manufacturing small arms ammunition. Building on existing relationships with Bolivian miners, Franklin Mining is positioned to begin meeting an increasing demand from North American manufacturers at a time when other suppliers are struggling with decreasing sources and finished products as China continues expanding their ownership and control over the world's antimony supply.

Current and anticipated increases in the San Antonio de Turiri's monthly production will be discussed in an upcoming Memo to Shareholders.
