|New Jersey Mining Company    
|-----------------------------
|Notes to Financial Statements
|(Unaudited)                  

|1. | Basis of Presentation:
|-- | ----------------------

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
by New Jersey Mining Company (the Company) in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of the Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
financial statements have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known
to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with
respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the
Company's consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that
the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which
could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's
consolidated financial position and results of operations. Operating results for
the six month period ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008.

For further information refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 2007.

The Company presents its financial statements in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting for
Development Stage Entities, as management believes that while the Companys
planned principal operations have commenced, the revenue generated from them is
not sufficient to cover all corporate costs. Additional development of the
Companys properties is necessary before a transition is made to reporting as a
production stage company.

|2. | Description of Business
|-- | -----------------------

The Company is an exploration stage company incorporated as an
Idaho corporation on July 18, 1996. The Company's primary business is exploring
for and developing gold, silver, and base metal mining resources in Idaho.

|3. | Equity
|-- | ------

Exercise of Stock Purchase WarrantsFor the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 the Company issued 1,335,000 and
4,350,000 shares, respectively, of unregistered common stock, pursuant to the
exercise of common stock purchase warrants. The warrants were exercised at $0.40
per share for net proceeds of $534,000 and $1,740,000, respectively.

Common Stock Issued for Cash, Goods, and
ServicesThe Company issued 43,000 shares of unregistered common
stock to President Fred W. Brackebusch for management services rendered in the
second quarter of 2008. The shares were valued at a price of $0.45 per
share.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008 the company issued
53,250 shares of unregistered common stock to individuals for goods, services,
cash, and service awards at fair value prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.50 per
share.

|4. | Fair Value Measurement
|-- | ----------------------

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for our financial assets and financial
liabilities without a material effect on our results of operations or financial
position. The effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities has been deferred by FSP 157-2 to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008, and we do not anticipate the impact of
adopting SFAS 157 for non-financial and non-financial liabilities to have a
material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

SFAS No. 157 expands disclosure requirements to include the
fair value measurement, and its fair value hierarchy level, for each major
category of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

Hierarchy level is determined by segregating fair value
measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and
significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The table below sets forth our financial asset that was
accounted for at fair value at June 30, 2008, and its respective hierarchy
level. We had no other financial assets or liabilities accounted for at fair
value at June 30, 2008.

|                          |  | Balance at          |  |  | Hierarchy | 
|------------------------- |  | ------------------- |  |  | --------- | 
|                          |  | June
      30, 2008 |  |  | Level     | 
|                          |  |                     |  |  |           | 
|Investments in marketable |  |                     |  |  |           | 
|equity securities         |  | 97,968              |  |  | Level 1   | 

We also adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value
Option for Financial Liabilities, effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has not had a material
effect on our financial position or results of operations as of and for the
three months ended June 30, 2008.

|5. | New Accounting Pronouncement
|-- | ----------------------------

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161), to
provide an understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments,
how they are accounted for, and how they affect an entity's financial
statements. We do not expect any material effect to our financial statements
from the enactment of SFAS No. 161.

|6. | Mining Venture Agreements
|-- | -------------------------

Silver Star Venture AgreementThe Company and
Silverstar Mining Corp. ("Silverstar") entered into a Mining Venture Agreement
on April 1, 2008, relating to the Silver Strand Property. During the three
months ended June 30, 2008, Silverstar paid the Company $270,000 of $500,000 to
acquire a 50% mining rights and property interest in the Silver Strand property.
Subsequent to June 30, 2008 Silverstar defaulted on the terms of the agreement
by not making the final payment when due on July 31, 2008. The Company does not
need to refund the initial $270,000 deposit and has accounted for it as a
deposit on the sale of mineral property at June 30, 2008. The $270,000 will be
recorded as income in the third quarter of 2008.

Newmont Venture AgreementThe Company entered
into a venture agreement with Newmont North America Exploration Limited
("Newmont") in March 2008, relating to exploration of the Company's Toboggan
Project. Newmont is conducting exploration in a 38 square mile area centered on
the prospects that the Company has staked in the past two years. To earn a
participating interest in the Venture, Newmont shall contribute $2,000,000 in
exploration expenditures as follows: $300,000 on or before March 2009, an
additional $700,000 by March 2010, and an additional $1,000,000 by March
2011.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When we use the terms "New Jersey Mining Company," the
"Company," "we," "us," or "our," we are referring to New Jersey Mining Company
(the "Company") and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking
Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements
that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements." All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q that address
activities, events or developments that our management expects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements include discussion of such matters as:

- The amount and nature of future capital, development and exploration
  expenditures;
- The timing of exploration activities; and
- Business strategies and development of our business plan.

Forward-looking statements also typically include words such as
"anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "potential," "could" or similar words
suggesting future outcomes. These statements are based on certain assumptions
and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of
historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other
factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are
subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including such
factors as the volatility and level of metal prices, currency exchange rate
fluctuations, uncertainties in cash flow, expected acquisition benefits,
exploration mining and operating risks, competition, litigation, environmental
matters, the potential impact of government regulations, and other matters
related to the mining industry, many of which are beyond our control. Readers
are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from
those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

The Company is under no duty to update any of these
forward-looking statements after the date of this report. You should not place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Plan of OperationThe Company is executing its
strategy to conduct exploration for gold, silver and base metal deposits in the
greater Coeur dAlene Mining District of northern Idaho while concurrently
conducting mining and mineral processing operations on higher grade ore reserves
it has located on its exploration properties. The financial strategy is to
generate cash from these operations to pay for corporate expenses and to provide
additional funds for exploration, thus reducing the need to raise funds through
financing activities including sale of common stock. The strategy includes
finding and developing ore reserves in order to increase production of gold,
silver, and base metals. In addition, the sale or joint venture of mineral
properties is used as a source of funds and to reduce exploration costs.

The Company has several properties at which most exploration is
being conducted; the Toboggan Project, the Niagara, the Golden Chest, the Silver
Strand, the Coleman, and the Giant Ledge. The Toboggan Project is a group of
prospects in the Murray, Idaho District that appear to be related to alkaline
magmatism and contain gold and silver telluride minerals. In the first quarter
of 2008 a joint venture agreement was signed with Newmont North America
Exploration Limited relating to exploration of the Toboggan Project. Newmont is
conducting exploration in a 38 square mile area centered on the prospects that
the Company has staked in the past two years.

The Niagara project is a copper-silver deposit in the Revett
formation that was drilled in the 1970s. More drilling is needed to increase
the confidence in resource estimates and to evaluate whether gold is a
significant component of the deposit. The Company is conducting in-fill drilling
on the known resource and is drilling to intercept a deeper stratabound target
in the Revett formation. The Giant Ledge is a new prospect which was staked in
the second quarter. Geophysical and geological studies are being conducted.
Gold, lead and copper mineralization is

related to an intrusive stock.

Ore mining operations at the Golden Chest mine are expected to
be suspended for the remainder of 2008 while the access ramp is being extended
to the Idaho vein reserves. Once the Idaho vein ramp development is completed
there will be enough reserves for many years of mining at the rate of 4,000
tonnes/year.

Ore production may commence at the Silver Strand mine in the
third quarter of 2008, however after infrastructure work has been completed a
decision may be made to delay ore production until May 2009, depending upon how
soon the end of the operating season [October 31, 2008] occurs after completing
the new adit. Additional capital expenditures of approximately $100,000 will be
required to bring the mine into production. Operating results at the Silver
Strand mine will depend upon the price of silver as well as gold. Present silver
and gold prices are sufficient in managements estimation to generate a gross
profit at the Silver Strand mine based on the operating plan which was part of
the permitting process.

The Company continued to conduct core drilling operations in
the second quarter of 2008 with its own core drilling machine. In the second
quarter, drilling operations were completed at the Coleman where sub-economic
gold grades were intersected. The drilling operation was mobilized to the
Niagara deposit and two intercepts were completed in the known resource. The
intercepts were of similar metal content as the historic drilling with the
notable exception that economically significant gold grades were sampled in the
main resource zone. In the remainder of 2008, drilling will continue in the
Murray area.

At the Toboggan Project where gold-silver telluride mineral
systems have been located, Newmont commenced exploration in the second quarter.
Work being done by Newmont includes soil and stream sediment sampling, claim
staking, and geological reconnaissance with geophysical surveys planned for the
third and fourth quarters.

The New Jersey mineral processing plant was operated during the
first part of the second quarter of 2008, processing ore from the Coleman vein.
The plant was idled and improvements to the ore feeder, electrowinning power and
concentrate dewatering were commenced. The plant will be idled except for test
runs until higher grade ore from the Silver Strand and Golden Chest mines is
available. Gold production was only 7 ounces in the second quarter of 2008 as
compared to 19 ounces for the respective 2007 period. Gold production is
expected to be minimal in the third and fourth quarters.

The amount of money to be spent on exploration at the Companys
mines and prospects will depend upon the amount of gross profit generated by
operations and the amount of money raised by financing activities. Basically,
management expects to be able to continue the present operating scenario with
its three active mines and mineral processing plant indefinitely, but expanded
exploration or production activities depend upon the results of financing
activities.

Changes in Financial ConditionThe Company
maintains an adequate cash balance by increasing or decreasing its exploration
expenditures as limited by availability of cash from operations or from
financing activities. The cash balance at the end of the second quarter of 2008
was $1,384,884, and Figure 1 shows the corresponding balances for previous
accounting periods.

9

---



The cash balance increased during the second quarter of 2008
due to the exercising of stock warrants which yielded $534,000. Also a partial
payment of $270,000 was received in the second quarter from sale of a 50%
interest in the Silver Strand mine. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter,
the buyer was not able to make the final payment so the sale was cancelled
according to the sale and joint venture agreement, but the advance payment of
$270,000 is not refundable (see note 6 to financial statements). The fair value
of investment in a marketable equity security held by the Company decreased from
$269,412 to $97,968 during the quarter due to decline in the stock price of that
security.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company experienced a
net loss of $428,032 compared to a net loss of $371,155 during the comparable
period in the previous year. Figure 2 shows the net loss for the second quarter
of 2008, and the net losses for pervious accounting periods. The increase in the
net loss for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008 is primarily
due to the suspension of processing of gold ore at the New Jersey mill. Mill
operations are suspended while an access ramp at the Golden Chest is being
extended through waste to an ore reserve block.

Direct Production CostsDirect Production
Costs decreased for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008
compared to the comparable periods of last year. As previously noted, the
decrease was primarily due to the suspension of processing of gold ore at the
New Jersey mill because the Company is developing a ramp in waste material at
the Golden Chest mine.

ExplorationExploration expenses increased for
the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008 compared to the comparable
periods of last year. The increase was due to increased core drilling completed
by the Companys drill which was placed into service in the third quarter of
2007.

General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral
and Administrative expenses increased for the three and six month periods ending
June 30, 2008 compared to the comparable periods of last year as the Company
increased the number of its employees to fifteen. Increased costs were also due
to higher wages and increased accounting costs.
