Carson City, NV, June 16, 2020 – (OTC Pink: FMNJ) – Franklin Mining, Inc. CEO William Petty and Marco Lopez, the owner of the Skorpius Copper Mine in Chile, have mutually agreed to rescind the contract for the development for copper of 22,000 hectares owned by Mr. Lopez. After due diligence and further studies, Mr. Petty has deemed the cost of development and production not in the company’s best interests.

“We have declined to move forward on this project,” Mr. Petty announced on Monday, “Once we looked at the long term development costs and labor-intensive production model, we decided it would be better to stay focused on what we know.”

Franklin Mining will continue to focus on refining possibilities and producing gold in Bolivia
and Peru.
