The Company has reported in past filings that the mineral evaluations completed on the property in past have revealed the probability of yielding strong mineral production.

The sampling indicates the presence of 6,200 tons of rock containing an average of 0.91 oz/ton gold, 9.5 oz/ton silver and substantial quantities of lead and zinc. These results were announced on November 11, 1998 by Franklin Mining, previously traded as WCM CAPITAL, INC. under the ticker symbol WCMC and can be found at: http://sec.edgar-online.com/wcm-capital-inc/1...ion20.aspx Franklin's Gem and Freighters Friend Mines are situated on the JL Emerson fault Zone; one of the largest mineralized faults in the Idaho Springs mining district.
