Franklin Mining Bolivia Executives and Managers Relocate to Work Site
LAS VEGAS, NV–(MARKET WIRE)–Feb 26, 2007 — Franklin Mining, Inc. (Other OTC:FMNJ.PK – News) has retained Alex Stewart (Assayers) Ltd. of Merseyside, England and La Paz, Bolivia, an independent company to provide professional services for the Pulacayo Tailings project.
Franklin Mining’s General Manager, Dr. Jaime Arancibia Davila, will be on-site at Pulacayo beginning Tuesday and take personal responsibility for site selection and its preparation. Franklin expects all preliminary work will begin within six weeks.
Dr. Arancibia will also supervise erection of the Pulacayo processing plant and direct the possible expansion of the project by personally evaluating every option available to increase gold and silver recovery rates.
Franklin Mining President, Jaime Melgarejo, Jr., emphasized that while mineral resource estimates indicate the Pulacayo Tailings project’s gold and silver recovery will generate respectable profits there is a new incentive to expand the depth of the project. “With recent increases in precious metal values and indicators pointing to sustainability, Franklin must explore the possibility of expanding a project that has already increased in value almost $7,000,000 since signing the COMIBOL agreement.”
Franklin Mining, Bolivia S.A. Appoints General Manager: Dr. Jaime Arancibia Davila has been appointed General Manager of Franklin Mining, Bolivia. An attorney and former Legal Director of YPFB, Dr. Arancibia brings to Franklin Mining, Bolivia a wealth of knowledge and experience in Bolivia’s hydrocarbons and mining industries.
