GLOSSARY OF SIGNIFICANT MINING TERMS

Ag-Silver.

Au-Gold.

Alluvial-Adjectivally used to identify minerals deposited over
time by moving water.

Argillites-Metamorphic rock containing clay minerals.

Arsenopyrite-An iron-arsenic sulfide. Common constituent of
gold mineralization.

Ball Mill-A large rotating cylinder usually filled to about 45%
of its total volume with steel grinding balls. The mill rotates and crushed rock
is fed into one end and discharged through the other. The rock is pulverized
into small particles by the cascading and grinding action of the balls.

Bedrock-Solid rock underlying overburden.

Cu-Copper.

CIL-A standard gold recovery process involving the leaching
with cyanide in agitated tanks with activated carbon. CIL means
"carbon-in-leach."

Crosscut-A nominally horizontal tunnel, generally driven at
right angles to the strike of a vein.

Dip-Angle made by an inclined surface with the horizontal,
measured perpendicular to strike.

Deposit-A mineral deposit is a mineralized body which has been
intersected by sufficient closely-spaced drill holes or underground sampling to
support sufficient tonnage and average grade(s) of metal(s) to warrant further
exploration or development activities.

Development Stage-As defined by the SEC-includes all issuers
engaged in the preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit
(reserves) for its extraction which are not in the production stage.

Drift-A horizontal mine opening driven on the vein. Driving is
a term used to describe the excavation of a tunnel.

Exploration Stage-As defined by the SEC-includes all issuers
engaged in the search for mineral deposits (reserves) which are not in either
the development or production stage.

Fault-A fracture in the earth's crust accompanied by a
displacement of one side of the fracture with respect to the other and in a
direction parallel to the fracture.

Flotation-A physiochemical process for the separation of finely

surface to gas bubbles.

GPT-grams per metric tonne.

Galena-A lead sulfide mineral. The most important lead mineral
in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District.

Grade-A term used to assign the concentration of metals per
unit weight of ore. An example-ounces of gold per ton of ore (opt). One troy
ounce per short ton is 34.28 parts per million or 34.28 grams per metric tonne.

Mill-A general term used to denote a mineral processing plant.

Mineralization-The presence of minerals in a specific area or
geologic formation.

Ore-A mineral or aggregate of minerals which can be mined and
treated at a profit. A large quantity of ore which is surrounded by waste or

loaders and trucks. Typically ramps are inclined at about a 15% grade.

Reserves-That part of a mineral deposit which could be
economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve
determination. Reserves are subcategorized as either proven (measured) reserves,
for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops,
trenches, workings, or drill holes, and grade and/or quality are computed from
the results of detailed sampling, and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling,
and measurement are spaced so closely and geologic character is so well defined
that size, shape, depth, and mineral content are well-established; or probable
(indicated) reserves, for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed
from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, yet the
sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed
in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or
estimates contained herein. Such forward-looking statements include statements
regarding planned levels of exploration and other expenditures, anticipated mine
lives, timing of production and schedules for development and permitting.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among
others, metals price volatility, permitting delays, and the Companys ability to
secure funding. Most of these factors are beyond the Companys ability to
predict or control. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any
forward-looking statement made herein. Readers are cautioned not to put undue
reliance on forward-looking statements.

Form and Year of OrganizationNew
Jersey Mining Company (the Company or NJMC) is a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Idaho on July 18, 1996. The Company was dormant until
December 31, 1996, when all of the assets and liabilities of the New Jersey
Joint Venture (a partnership) were transferred to the Company in exchange for
10,000,000 shares of common stock. The New Jersey Joint Venture, a partnership,
was formed in 1994 to develop the New Jersey mine.

Any Bankruptcy, Receivership or Similar
ProceedingsThere have been no bankruptcy, receivership, or
similar proceedings.

Any Material Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation, or
Purchase or Sale of a Significant Amount of Assets Not in the
OrdinaryCourse of Business.There have
been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, purchases, or sales
for the past three years.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

General Description of the BusinessThe Company is involved in exploring for and developing gold, silver,
and base metal ore resources in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. The Company
has a portfolio of mineral properties including: the Niagara copper
silver-deposit, the, Golden Chest mine the New Jersey mine, the Silver Strand
mine, the Toboggan exploration project, and several other exploration prospects.
The Company owns a 100 tonne-per-day mineral processing facility (mill) in
Kellogg, Idaho.

The Company is executing a strategy of mineral exploration that
is focused on the Belt Basin area of northern Idaho and western Montana. See
Location Map. Our mineral processing plant has processed ore and other
mineralized material from the Golden Chest, New Jersey, and Silver Strand
properties for the past five years. Our strategy is to produce some income from
these properties while we explore them at depth with core drilling, and by
driving ramps or drifts to and along the mineralized structures. We can then
mine and process any economic material to help offset our exploration costs.
Feed for the mill in 2009 was from small blocks of accessible ore at the Golden
Chest mine until the mine and mill were placed on standby on May 15, 2009.

We also conduct exploratory diamond drilling and grassroots
exploration in the area. Our mining operations do not provide enough income to
fund our exploration, development activities, and corporate overhead so it is
necessary for the Company to raise funds through the sale of common stock in
private placements to qualified investors or through the sale of joint venture
interests in our properties. Therefore, our exploration and development plans
and resulting schedules are dependent on our ability to raise funds. If we
cannot raise funds our exploration programs may be deferred or delayed.

Competitive Business ConditionsThe
Company competes on several different fronts within the minerals exploration
industry. The Company competes with other junior mining companies for the
capital necessary to sustain its exploration and development programs. Economic
conditions resulting from the depressed stock market of late 2008 and early 2009
made it difficult for the Company for raise the funding necessary to complete
its development program at the Golden Chest. Since the Company could not raise
the money necessary to finish its ramp to known ore reserves at the Golden
Chest, it suspended activity at the Golden Chest and the New Jersey mill. This
resulted in the Company laying off seven employees in 2009. Market conditions
have improved in early 2010 and the Company has been able to secure the
financing necessary to begin gold and silver production from its Silver Strand
mine in mid 2010.

We also compete with other mining companies for exploration
properties especially for gold properties. In the past year, there have been at
least three companies (Hecla Mining Co., U.S. Silver Corp. and Golden Eagle
Mining Co.) that have staked lode claims near the Companys Toboggan Project
which is a gold exploration joint venture with Newmont Mining Corporation.

The Company also competes for skilled labor within the mining
industry; however, due to the lack of financing in 2009 the Company did not find
it necessary to hire employees.

We are also subject to the risks inherent to the mineral
industry. The primary risk of mineral exploration is the low probability of
finding a major deposit of ore. We attempt to mitigate this risk by focusing our
efforts in an area already known to host ore deposits, and also by acquiring
properties we believe have the geologic and technical merits to host potentially
economic mineralization. Another significant risk is the price of metals such as
copper, gold and silver. If the prices of these metals were to fall
substantially, it would, most likely, lead to a loss of investor interest in the
mineral exploration sector which would make it more difficult to raise the
capital necessary to move our exploration and development plans forward.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations
on the BusinessAll operating and exploration plans have been
made in consideration of existing governmental regulations. Regulations that
most affect operations are related to surface water quality and access to public
lands. An approved plan of operations (POO) and a financial bond are usually
required before exploration or mining activities can be conducted on public land
that is administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or
United States Forest Service (USFS).

The New Jersey mine, the Silver Strand mine, and the Golden
Chest properties are part of the expanded Bunker Hill Superfund Site. Current
plans for expanded cleanup do not include any of our mines. There is no known
evidence that previous operations at the New Jersey mine prior to 1910 caused
any groundwater or stream pollution or discharged any tailings into the South
Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River; however, such evidence could be uncovered. The
nature of the risk would probably be to clean up or cover old mine tailings that
may have washed downstream from upstream mining operations. No mineral
processing operations were ever conducted at the Silver Strand mine and current
water sampling data has not indicated any pollution. There are no mineral
processing tailings deposits at the Golden Chest mine. However, at least two old
adits have small water discharges. The Company could conceivably be required to
conduct cleanup operations at its own expense, however, the Environmental
Protection Agencys (EPA) Record of Decision for the Bunker Hill Mining and
Metallurgical Complex Operating Unit 3 does not include any cleanup activities
at the Companys mines. NJMC has not received any notifications that it could be
liable for any environmental cleanup.

Estimate of the Amount Spent on Exploration for the Last
Two YearsDuring the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008,
we have spent $80,733 and $570,549, respectively, on exploration activities.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
(Federal, State and Local)No major Federal permits are
required for the New Jersey mine because most operations are on private land and
there are no process discharges to surface waters. Any exploration program
conducted by the Company on unpatented mining claims, usually administered by
the BLM or USFS, requires a POO to be submitted. Our exploration programs can be
delayed for significant periods of time (one to two years) because of the slow
NEPA permitting process applied by the USFS. We believe the USFS permitting
delays are caused by insufficient manpower, complicated regulations, misplaced
priorities, and sympathy for environmental groups who oppose any mining project.

As an example, the Company submitted a POO to the USFS in April
2003 for a seasonal, underground mining operation at the Silver Strand mine. The
USFS conducted an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the plan and requested
public comments on the EA in September 2004. In June 2005, the USFS issued a
final Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact which essentially
approved the Companys POO, but with 26 stipulations. The stipulations cover
various aspects of the plan including, but not limited to, the operating season,
public access through the site, water quality monitoring, development rock
monitoring, slope stability monitoring, and reclamation standards. In August
2006, both the USFS and the Company signed the final operating plan or Decision
Notice. The Company posted a reclamation bond of $119,725 in June of 2007 to
begin operations at the Silver Strand. An additional bond of $32,075 is due once
haulage of ore from the mine commences which gives a total bond of $151,800 for
the planned project. Permit compliance activities at the Silver Strand are
expected to cost about $3,500 per year.

The Company is also subject to the rules of the U.S. Department
of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for the New Jersey,
Golden Chest, and Silver Strand operations. When a mine or mill is operating,
MSHA performs a series of regular quarterly inspections to verify compliance
with mine safety laws, and can assess financial penalties for violations of MSHA
regulations. A typical mine citation order for a violation that is not
significant or substantial is about $200.

The New Jersey mine has two important State of Idaho permits.
The first is an Idaho Cyanidation Permit and the second is a reclamation plan
for surface mining operations. No permit is required for the current flotation
process as there is no discharge of water to surface waters and the tailings
impoundments are less than 30 feet high from toe to crest. An Idaho cyanidation
permit was granted October 10, 1995 [No. CN-000027]. Construction of the
Concentrate Leach Plant (CLP) at the New Jersey mine was completed in November
of 2007. The Idaho Cyanidation permit requires monthly surface water and
quarterly groundwater monitoring during the operation of the CLP. It is
estimated that water monitoring cost associated with operating the CLP will be
approximately $6,000 per year.

A surface mining reclamation plan for the New Jersey mine was
approved by the Idaho State Department of Lands in 1993. The plan calls for
grading of steep fill slopes and planting of vegetation on the area disturbed by
the open pit mine. An annual reclamation fee of $133 is paid to the Idaho
Department of Lands for surface disturbance associated with the New Jersey mine
open pit. The Company has estimated its costs to reclaim the New Jersey mine
site to be $20,600.

When the Company plans an exploration drilling program on
public lands, it must submit a POO to either the BLM or USFS. Compilation of the
plan can take several days of professional time and a reclamation bond is
usually required to start drilling once the plan is approved. Bond costs vary
directly with surface disturbance area, but a small, single set-up drilling
program usually requires a bond amount of about $2,500. Upon completion of the
reclamation and approval by the managing agency, the bond amount is returned to
the Company.

The Company complies with local building codes and ordinances
as required by law.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time
EmployeesThe Company's total number of employees is 7
including President Fred Brackebusch, Vice President Grant Brackebusch and
Secretary Tina Brackebusch. Tina Brackebusch works part-time for the Company.

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES



Figure 1 - Project Location MapNEW JERSEY MINE

LocationThe New Jersey mine is an
underground mine and mill complex located four kilometers east of Kellogg,
Idaho, in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District. The property includes the gold
bearing Coleman vein system, a base metal Sullivan-type prospect known as the
Enterprise, and another gold prospect called the Scotch Thistle. The mine is
adjacent to U.S. Interstate 90 and is easily accessed by local roads throughout
the entire year. Three phase electrical power is supplied to the New Jersey mill
by Avista Utilities. The area is underlain by argillites and quartzites of the
Prichard Formation [member of Belt Supergroup] which commonly hosts gold
mineralization.

Mineral PropertyThe Company owns 62
acres of patented mining claims, mineral rights to 108 acres of fee land, and
approximately 130 acres of unpatented mining claims. The unpatented claims are
on federal land administered by the BLM. The Coleman pit and the current
underground workings are located on the patented mining claims wholly owned by
the Company.

Mineral LeasesA mineral lease from
William Zanetti in the New Jersey mill area contains about 60 acres. The lease
provides for the Company's exploration, development and mining of minerals on
fee land through October 2008 and thereafter as long as mining operations are
deemed continuous. The lessor may terminate the lease upon the Company's failure
to perform under the terms of the lease. The lease provides for royalties of 5%
of net sales of ores or concentrates less transportation also known as a Net
Smelter Return (NSR). Additional royalties of 1% to 5% are due, if the gold
price exceeds $717 per ounce as of December 31, 2009. This additional royalty
gold price is indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) with the December 1988
CPI as the base. Also, annual advance royalties totaling $500 per year are
required under the lease. The advance royalties are accumulated and will be
credited against the royalty obligations.

A second mineral lease, known as the Grenfel lease, with Mine
Systems Design, Inc. (MSD) covers the mineral rights to 68 acres located north
of the New Jersey mine area. The lease has a fifteen year term and thereafter so
long as mining operations are deemed continuous.

7

---

The lessor may terminate the lease upon the Company's failure
to perform under the terms of the lease. A 3% NSR royalty will be paid to the
lessor if production is achieved. However, the NSR royalty shall not exceed 10%
of the net proceeds, except the NSR royalty shall not be less than 1%. No
advance royalties or other advance payments are required by this lease.

HistoryThere are at least 14 gold
prospects in or near the New Jersey mine area. In the late 1800s and early
1900s more than 2,500 feet of development workings including drifts, crosscuts,
shafts, and raises, were driven by the New Jersey Mining and Milling Company (an
unrelated company) to develop the Coleman vein and the northwest branch of the
Coleman vein. A 10 stamp gravity mill was built and operated for a short period.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the
PropertyA 100 tonne per day flotation mill has been built
and commissioned on the New Jersey mine property. A six foot by six foot ball
mill is used to grind crushed ore. The crushing plant and grinding circuit were
built in 1996, and the flotation circuit was built in 2004. Construction of a
Concentrate Leach Plant CLP was started in mid-2006, and was completed in
November of 2007. The CLP plant uses cyanidation and direct electro-winning to
produce a gold-silver dore from gold-bearing pyrite concentrates. Based on
leach cycles for the Golden Chest pyrite concentrate, the capacity of the leach
plant is about 10 tonnes per day.

Since 2001, the Company has drilled 14 holes for a total of
1,765 meters to explore the Coleman vein and associated zones of gold
mineralization. The drilling confirmed the continuity of the Coleman vein system
and discovered a broad zone of low grade (0.70 gpt gold) gold mineralization
known as the Grenfel zone. Reserves on the Coleman vein were not increased as
the drilling was too widely spaced to meet the criteria for a reserve
calculation. The best intercept was in DDH02-02 which assayed 2.76 gpt gold over
12.5 meters including 2.5 meters of 6.80 gpt gold. In 2008, about 400 meters of
drilling was completed at the Scotch Thistle gold prospect revealing areas of
silica enrichment and alteration, but no economic intervals of gold
mineralization.

In 2008, the Company completed an underground exploration
program of drifting on the Coleman vein on the 740 level. A total of 84 meters
of drifting were completed with 20 meters of that on the vein before it was
displaced by a fault. The remainder of the drifting was in waste material and
was directed at finding the down-dip projection of the vein found by DDH02-2.
The vein was not found, but a diamond drill station was established to allow for
underground drilling to probe for the vein. A total of 725 dry tonnes were mined
from the Coleman vein drifting and processed through the New Jersey mill in
2008. No exploration or development work was completed by the Company in 2009.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a capital cost of
$1,119,372 associated with the mineral processing plant and a capitalized
development plus investment cost of $604,792 associated with the mine.

Exploration PlansThe Company plans to
start a raise on a portion of the Coleman vein where high-grade gold
mineralization was found and complete exploration drifting to the north.
Drifting on the vein started in early March of 2010.

Geology and ReservesThe description
of the geology of the New Jersey mine and the calculation of mineral resources
have been completed by the Company. The description of the geology of the area
can be verified from third party published reports by the U.S. Geological Survey
and unpublished reports by Oscar Hershey, former Coeur d'Alene District
geologist. The Company is solely responsible for the reserve calculations.

GeologyThe Prichard Formation, which
is 25,000 feet in thickness, underlies the New Jersey mine area which is
adjacent to and north of the major Osburn fault. The Prichard Formation is
divided into nine rock units of alternating argillites, siltites, and
quartzites, and the units exposed in the New Jersey mine area appear to belong
to the lower members. Gold mineralization is associated with sulfide-bearing
quartz veins which cut the bedding in Prichard argillite and quartzite.
Associated sulfides are pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, low-silver
tennatite, galena, and sphalerite.

ReservesThe reserves at the New
Jersey mine, as of this date, are those contained in an underground mine plan.
The designed stope block extends from the surface to the Keyhole Tunnel level.
Grade estimation for the block is based upon calculated head grades from
production from the Coleman vein over the past two years.

The reserve tonnage is diluted. That is, the expected dilution

block. The ounces stated in the above table are contained ounces. The cutoff
grade used was 1.5 grams/tonne gold. The cutoff grade is based on historical
costs of underground mining on the Coleman vein with a flotation processing
plant recovering 85% of the gold. Gold prices used are based upon a three year
average or $27.22/gram ($846.57/troy ounce). Proven and probable reserves are
combined as they cannot be readily separated.

SILVER STRAND MINE

LocationThe Silver Strand mine is an
underground mine located in Kootenai County, Idaho, about 20 kilometers
east-northeast of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It is situated on Lone Cabin Creek, a
tributary of Burnt Cabin Creek and of the Little North Fork Coeur d'Alene River.
Primary access is from Coeur d'Alene via paved and dirt roads from Fernan Lake
to Lone Cabin Creek.

Mineral PropertyThe Company's Silver
Strand mine consists of fifteen unpatented lode claims wholly owned by the
Company. The claims are on public lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
The claims were acquired from Trend Mining Company pursuant to a purchase
agreement dated July 14, 2000. Mine Systems Design, Inc. assumed Trends royalty
on the Silver Strand claims in July 2001. The royalty is a 1.5% NSR capped at
$50,000 after which the NSR royalty decreases to 0.5%.

HistoryThe Silver Strand deposit was
discovered during nearby logging activity during the 1960's and mined during the
1970's and 1980's for siliceous smelter flux. Production was 13,752 tons grading
0.093 ounces per ton gold (3.19 gpt), 9.6 ounces per ton silver (329 gpt) and
87.1% silica. The mining operation was shut down when the ASARCO Tacoma smelter
closed in the early 1980's. Previous owner/operators include Silver Strand
Mining Company, Silver Trend Mining Company, and Trend Mining Company. Mine
Systems Design, Inc. (MSD) had an exploration agreement with Silver Trend Mining
Company that was terminated in 1997. During the term of that lease, MSD made an
agreement with U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM), Spokane Research Center to conduct a
mining research project at the Silver Strand mine. The USBM monitored water
quality and flows from the mine, maintained the underground openings, and
conducted some diamond drilling.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the
PropertyDuring 2002, the Company completed an exploration
drilling program which was successful in extending the ore shoot below the No. 3
Level. Given the successful drilling results, the Company initiated the
environmental permitting process for a 1,000 tonne per month seasonal,
underground mining operation. In April 2003, the Company submitted a POO to the
USFS. In June 2005, the USFS affirmed their original Finding of No Significant
Impact with respect to the Companys POO after an environmental group appealed
their earlier decision. In August 2006, both the USFS and the Company signed the
final operating plan or Decision Notice.

In May of 2007, the Company posted a reclamation bond of
$119,725 in order to begin work at the Silver Strand. An additional bond of
$32,075 is due once haulage of ore to the New Jersey mill starts which gives a
total bond of $151,800 for the planned project. Work completed at the Silver
Strand in 2008 included the completion of the new No. 3 portal. In 2009 no work
was completed except for required environmental monitoring. No surface
infrastructure presently exists at the Silver Strand. There is no energy
available at the site, and electrical energy requirements are satisfied with an
on-site generator.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a capitalized
development plus investment cost of $152,576 associated with the Silver Strand
mine.

Exploration and Development PlansThe
Company plans to mobilize to the Silver Strand in May of 2010 and begin mining
ore about 30 days after mobilization is complete. Mining activities are limited
from May 1st until October 31st according to the permit.
Usual environmental compliance activities such as water monitoring will also
take place.

Geology and ReservesCompany
geologists have completed the description of the geology of the Silver Strand
mine. Reserve calculations were completed by the Companys geologists and
engineers. Verification of the areas geology can be found from third party
published reports by Alfred L. Anderson of the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology
(Pamphlet 53).

GeologyThe upper part of the Revett
Formation outcrops at the mine. The upper Revett member contains alternating
sequences of quartzite and siltite-argillite. Beds dip shallowly to moderately
to the north (30 to 50 degrees). Alfred L. Anderson of the Idaho Bureau of Mines
and Geology mapped the geology and discussed the mineral resources of Kootenai
County in 1940 (Pamphlet 53). There are no large intrusive rock bodies near the
Silver Strand mine except for a diabase dike which has intruded the Silver
Strand mineralized zone. The Burnt Cabin fault is the major geologic structure
near the Silver Strand mine.

The Silver Strand orebody consists of a nearly-vertical,
silicified (quartz) replacement zone which cuts the flat to moderately dipping
Revett beds. The zone is not a fissure-filling vein. The boundaries and shape of
the silicified zone were determined to some extent by a 1997 diamond drilling
program completed by a previous operator. The sulfide ore mined to date appears
to be enclosed within the quartz zone. The ore is black and very fine-grained.
Sulfide minerals are not easy to identify because of the fine-grained texture.
Minerals observed by microscopic study during metallurgical tests include:
pyrite, tetrahedrite, tennantite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite and stibnite.

ReservesOre grades and dimensions of
the reserve blocks are based on chip sampling of the vein underground and
diamond drilling. Reserves were calculated using a gold equivalent cutoff grade
of 5 grams per tonne gold and a minimum mining width of 1.5 meters. The cutoff
grade is based on historical and estimated costs of a 1,000 tonne/month
underground mining operation, hauling ore to the Companys mineral
processing plant about 40 miles distant, and processing with flotation and
recovering 75% of the silver and gold. Silver and gold prices used are based
upon a three year average or $0.46/gram ($14.35/troy ounce) and $27.22/gram
($846.57/troy ounce), respectively.

GOLDEN CHEST

LocationThe Golden Chest mine is an
underground mine located in Reeder Gulch about 2.4 kilometers east of Murray,
Idaho along Forest Highway 9. The property consists of two mining leases and
unpatented claims covering approximately 500 acres. The site is accessible by an
improved dirt road. A 30 ft by 20 ft steel-clad pole building is present near
the ramp portal and is used as a shop and a dry. Single phase electrical power
supplied by Avista Utilities has been installed to the portal site in Reeder
Gulch.

Mineral LeaseOn January 3, 2005, the
Company signed a mining lease on the Golden Chest with Metaline Contact Mines
(MTLI) and J.W. Beasley Interests, LLC (JWBI) that covers about 270 acres. The
Company completed a pre-feasibility study on an open pit resource drilled by
Newmont Exploration Limited (NEL) and issued 50,000 shares of its restricted
common stock to both MTLI and JWBI to exercise the mining lease. The term of the
lease is fifteen years and as long thereafter as Leased Substances are mined,
processed or marketed from the Leased Premises. A NSR royalty of 3% is payable
to the Lessors. An additional NSR royalty up to a maximum 3% is payable based on
a sliding scale of increasing gold prices adjusted by the CPI using June 2003
(CPI=183.7) as the base. See table below.

    1.5%$588 to $647
    2.0%> $647
    3.0%


Finally, the Company will issue 50,000 shares of restricted
common stock for each increment of 10,000 troy ounces of gold production.
Production to date under the Mining Lease Agreement has been 1,465 ounces of
gold.

On January 3, 2005, the Company signed a mining lease with
Prichard Creek Resource Partners, LLC that covers about 41 acres of unpatented
lode claims. Upon exercising the lease the Company issued 30,000 shares of
restricted common stock to Prichard Creek Resource Partners. The term of the
lease is fifteen years and as long thereafter as Leased Substances are mined,
processed or marketed from the Leased Premises. A NSR royalty of 3% is payable
to the lessor. An additional NSR royalty is based on the same sliding scale,
presented in the table above, is also payable to Prichard Creek Resource
Partners. Finally, if commercial production is commenced from these claims, a
one-time payment of 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock is payable to
Prichard Creek Resource Partners.

The Company also holds an additional 195 acres at the Golden
Chest property through unpatented claims wholly owned by the Company. The
portion of these claims within Sections 4 and 5 of Township 49N, Range 5E, BM
are subject to a 1% Net Profits Royalty payable to MTLI.

HistoryThe Golden Chest was the
largest lode producer in the Murray district, producing 65,000 ounces of gold
from narrow high grade veins primarily in the late 1800s. NEL spent over
$500,000 on an exploration program at the Golden Chest in the late 1980s, which
consisted of soil and rock sampling, surface and underground mapping, and 3,390
meters of drilling. Newmonts work identified a potential open pit gold
resource. Newmont dropped the property in 1990, apparently because it did not
meet their criterion of a one million ounce open-pit resource. NJMC signed a
mining lease for the property in January 2005.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the
PropertyThe Company started work on the property in 2004. A
ramp 440 meters in length connecting the surface to the historic No. 3 level,
known as the North Ramp, was completed in the fourth quarter of 2008. The
Company has constructed a development rock storage site, a shop building,
improved the access road, and installed electrical power to the site during the
term of its lease. Currently, the mine is on standby as the Company searches for
financing to complete the development of a ramp to access ore reserves on the
Idaho vein.

For each year from 2004 through 2008, the Company completed an
exploration core drilling program on the Golden Chest property. A total of 3,415
meters of core drilling has been completed from the surface. The majority of
these holes have been targeted at extending the Idaho vein below the No. 3 level
which is the deepest level in the Idaho vein area. This drilling has been
successful in extending the Idaho vein at depth. As an example, DDH04-06
intercepted 17.5 meters of quartz veining that assayed 4.83 gpt gold and
included a higher grade section of 5.8 meters that assayed 10.13 gpt gold. Based
on this intercept and several others, a section of the Idaho vein was converted
to proven and probable reserves.

10

---

The Company completed studies in 2004 on a potentially open
pitable resource drilled by Newmont in the 1980s. Handbook and scaled costs
were used in conjunction with current gold prices and three-year average prices.
It was concluded that the open pit resource would not be feasible as a
stand-alone project and does not meet the SEC Guide 7 requirements for reserves.
Therefore, exploration at the Golden Chest will be directed toward developing
resources on the Idaho vein for a larger scale underground mine.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a capitalized
development plus investment cost of $644,393 associated with the Golden Chest
mine.

Exploration and Development PlansAfter the connection of the North Ramp to the historic No. 3 level was
completed, the Company inspected and surveyed the No. 3 level to where it
intersects the Idaho vein. Based on this new information, the Company revised
its plan to access the ore reserve block on the Idaho vein which includes
driving a new adit from the surface. This new adit would be driven a distance of
about 400 meters with an estimated cost of $700,000 and would require about six
months to complete. The new adit would provide access to the Idaho vein ore
reserve block as well as a connection with the North Ramp which would improve
ventilation and provide a secondary escape-way. The Company will not be able to
complete the new adit until it raises sufficient capital through an equity
offering, the sale of a joint venture interest, or other financing method.

Geology and ReservesCompany
geologists have completed the description of the geology of the Golden Chest
mine. Reserve calculations were completed by the Companys geologist and
engineer. Verification of the areas geology can be found from third party
published reports by Philip J. Shenon (Idaho Bureau of Mines Pamphlet No. 47)
and unpublished reports by Newmont Mining Corporation.

GeologyGold mineralization occurs in
veins associated with a thrust fault that has exploited the top of a quartzite
unit on the east limb of a north-trending synclinal fold. The mineralization
occurs in two types of quartz veins which are generally conformable to bedding
of the Prichard Formation of Proterozoic age. Thin banded veins, occurring in
argillite, contain visible gold, pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, and sphalerite.
Thicker, massive veins occur in quartzite and contain pyrite, sphalerite,
galena, chalcopyrite, scheelite and rare visible gold. Gold mineralization is of
Mesozoic age and related to granitic intrusive rocks.

ReservesOre grades and dimensions of
the reserve block are based on ten diamond drillholes through the Idaho vein
with an average spacing of 40 meters and 30 drift samples. Reserves were
calculated by the Companys geologist and chief mine engineer using a polygonal
method with a cutoff grade of 2.0 gpt gold, and a minimum mining width of 2
meters.

The reserves were calculated using estimated costs and
operating parameters of a 100 tonne-per-day underground mining and mineral
processing operation. The estimated costs are based on the Companys actual
costs of mining and processing ore from the Golden Chest. Overall metallurgical
recovery of gold is expected to be 92% based on the Companys experience at the
New Jersey mill and CLP. Gold prices used are based upon a three year average or
$27.22/gram ($846.57/troy ounce).

NIAGARA PROJECT

LocationThe Niagara copper-silver
deposit is located near the forks of Eagle Creek about seven kilometers
northwest of the Company's Golden Chest operation. The property is without known
ore reserves, and consists of 39 unpatented claims that cover about 775 acres.
Access to the site is maintained through the use of a USFS road which is closed
to the general public. No electrical energy is present at the site.

Mineral AgreementThe Company signed
an exploration agreement with Revett Metals Associates (RMA) in December 2006.
The exploration agreement has a term of five years, beginning on December 2,
2006, and is for nine unpatented claims that cover the deposit. In addition, the
exploration agreement covers an area of mutual interest within 1⁄2 mile of the
property excluding properties which are valued primarily for their gold
mineralization. Upon signing the agreement, the Company issued 30,000 shares of
restricted common stock to RMA and paid $4,500. At each anniversary of the
signing, the Company has agreed to pay $3,000 and issue 30,000 shares of
restricted common stock to RMA. Any time prior to the expiration of the
exploration agreement, the Company can exercise an option to convert the
exploration agreement to a mining agreement. If exercised, the mining agreement
would have a term of 25 years, and the Company would pay a NSR royalty to RMA of
3.0% on ores or concentrates mined on the property. The Company is granted the
option to purchase 90% of the NSR royalty from RMA for $2,500,000 which would
leave a remaining royalty of 0.3%.

As part of the terms of the Companys Toboggan Exploration
Joint Venture agreement with Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont retains an
option to include the Niagara property into the Toboggan Project which is
exercisable starting March 20, 2009 and extending for two years. If Newmont elects to include the Niagara property,
it would be required to spend at least another $1,000,000 or twice what NJMC
spends on exploration of the Niagara, whichever is greater, to earn its 51%
interest

HistoryAn exploration program
completed by Earth Resources Company on the Niagara property in the 1970's
identified a large volume of copper-silver mineralization within the Revett
formation. Their exploration program included eight drill holes and six trenches
on the outcrop of the mineralized strata. Earth Resources also completed
metallurgical testwork that indicated conventional flotation will achieve
recoveries of 94% for copper and 90% for silver. Earth Resources also completed
preliminary economic studies on the deposit. Kennecott owned the claims that
cover the Niagara deposit for a period of time after Earth Resources. RMA
re-staked the property in 2004 after Kennecott dropped the claims.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the
PropertyDuring 2008, the Company completed five holes of
core drilling for a total of 1,062 meters at the Niagara project. Three of the
holes were targeted to intercept the copper-silver deposit in the Revett
formation and were successful. The drilling increased the area of copper-silver
mineralization of the Niagara deposit. As an example, drillhole 08-9 drilled
through 19.4 meters grading 0.51% copper, 25 gpt silver and 0.029 gpt gold. A
preliminary engineering study assessing the economic potential of open pit
mining at the Niagara was completed. Two holes for a cumulative total of 413
meters were drilled in the hanging wall of the Murray Peak fault in the Prichard
formation to investigate a gold-in-soil anomaly and magnetic high. Low level,
anomalous gold and tellurium mineralization were found by this drilling.

Also during 2008, the Company staked claims over an area of
gold-telluride mineralization near the Niagara deposit and known as the Progress
prospect. Soil sampling indicates a gold anomaly 80 meters wide and 350 meters
long. A series of old prospect trenches and adits were found and sampled. No
work was completed at the Niagara in 2009.

Exploration and Development PlansThe
Company has submitted a POO to the USFS for a core drilling program at the
Progress gold prospect. The POO is scheduled for approval by the USFS in May of
2010, but the timing of the drilling will be dependent on the Companys ability
to raise funds.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had an investment cost of
$42,000 associated with the Niagara project.

GeologyThe Niagara deposit occurs in
a section of mineralized upper Revett Formation near the axis of a north-south
striking syncline. The western limb of the syncline has been truncated by the
north-south striking Murray Peak fault, a steep, west dipping reverse fault.
Other faults offset the mineralized zone slightly. In the Niagara deposit, the
mineralization occurs in the upper Revett Formation, which here is a light gray,
massive quartzite with thin siltite interbeds. The mineralized horizon crops out
along the East Fork Eagle Creek and is approximately 30 meters below the contact
with the overlying St. Regis Formation. Copper minerals include bornite,
chalcopyrite, chalcocite, native copper, and some copper oxide minerals. Silver
minerals include stomeyerite and jalpaite. Pyrite and galena also occur in trace
amounts

TOBOGGAN PROJECT

LocationThe Toboggan project is an
exploration property without known ore reserves. The Toboggan project is a joint
venture with Newmont North American Exploration Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont
Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM), exploring for gold deposits within a 38 square
mile area north of Murray, Idaho. The project consists of 414 unpatented lode
claims covering an area of approximately 8,000 acres in and near the East Fork
of Eagle Creek drainage. The Toboggan project consists of the following
prospects: Gold Butte, Mineral Ridge, Golden Reward, Progress South, and
Independence. The claims can be accessed from May through November using a USFS
dirt road. No electrical energy is available at the site.

Mineral AgreementOn March 25, 2008,
the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement with Newmont North
American Exploration Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE:
NEM) under which the parties created a joint venture, the Toboggan Project, to
explore for gold deposits within a 38 square mile area north of Murray, Idaho.
Under the terms of the agreement, Newmont can earn a 51% interest in the joint
venture by spending $2,000,000 over three years. Newmont can increase its
interest to 70% by spending an additional $10,000,000 or completing a
feasibility study in the years four through seven, whichever comes first.

As part of the terms of the agreement, Newmont retains an
option to include the Niagara property into the Toboggan Project which is
exercisable starting March 21, 2009, and extends for two years. If Newmont
elects to include the Niagara property, it would be required to spend at least
another $1,000,000 or twice what NJMC spends on exploration of the Niagara,
whichever is greater, to earn its 51% interest.

HistoryHistoric workings are present
at the Gold Butte prospect and consist of seven adits connected by a system of
narrow roads. Most of the underground work appears to have been completed by
1941. Two holes were drilled on the Gold Butte prospect in the 1980s. Prior
geophysical exploration work by Cominco-American in the Toboggan Creek area in
the mid 1980s found a large CSAMT geophysical anomaly, roughly two square
kilometers in area. In 1987, Cominco American drilled a hole 500 meters in depth
that was located on the eastern edge of the anomaly. It appears that the hole
was located too far to the east, and that it was not drilled deep enough to
investigate the large geophysical anomaly. Nord-Pacific completed a gold
exploration program in the Mineral Ridge area including a soil sampling program
and a reverse-circulation drilling program in 1992. Nord-Pacific identified
several anomalous gold zones with their soil sampling and completed nine holes
totaling 850 meters in their drilling program. All of the drillholes intercepted
anomalous gold mineralization including a 1.5 meter intercept of 18.9 gpt gold.
Historic workings at the Mineral Ridge prospect, which were completed before
Nord-Pacifics work, include six adits as well as numerous pits and
trenches. The Independence area was originally staked in 1906 and was active
intermittently through the 1900s. Work completed included four adits, and
numerous pits and trenches.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the
PropertyDuring 2008, Newmont completed a comprehensive early-stage
exploration program. Work completed included the staking of additional claims
significantly increasing the area of the joint venture, soil sampling, rock
sampling, geologic mapping, a ground-based geophysical survey at the Gold Butte,
and an airborne geophysical survey over the entire joint venture area. During
2009, Newmont completed a core drilling program that consisted of six holes for
a total of 1,359 meters. Two holes were drilled at each of the following
prospects: Mineral Ridge, Golden Reward and Gold Butte. The best gold intercept
drilled was at the Gold Butte where a pyritic quartz vein was found at 24.0
meters below the surface that assayed 2.5 gpt gold over 4.0 meters including a
higher grade section that assayed 7.15 gpt gold over 1.0 meter. Thick intercepts
of anomalous, but low-grade gold mineralization were drilled at the Mineral
Ridge and the Golden Reward prospects. Newmont also completed geologic mapping,
surface rock sampling, soil sampling, and additional claim staking.

As of the date of this report, Newmont has spent approximately
$1.25 million on the project and is required by the agreement to spend another
$0.75 million by March 20, 2011, to earn a 51% interest in the project.

Exploration and Development PlansNewmont has an exploration program planned for 2010 that includes core
drilling and reverse circulation drilling at various prospects in the Toboggan
project. Plans also call for geologic mapping, rock sampling, and soil sampling.

GeologyGold mineralization tends to
occur in structurally controlled zones within the Prichard Formation which are
associated with large potential feeder structures such as the Murray Peak fault,
the Bloom Peak fault, and the Niagara fault. The gold mineralization can occur
either as discrete, high-grade quartz veins or within wide zones of brecciation.
Geochemical analysis of soils and rocks has led to the discovery of very high
levels of tellurium associated with zones of higher grade gold mineralization.
Electron microprobe analysis has shown the presence of gold-silver electrum and
the telluride mineral petzite. The presence of telluride minerals along with the
presence of alkaline intrusive rocks and areas of potassic alteration has led
the Company to believe the gold mineralization is associated with a deeply
buried alkaline intrusion. Alkaline rocks are a type of igneous intrusive rock
characterized by high potassium and sodium and frequently associated with gold
mineralization.

GIANT LEDGE

The Giant Ledge prospect is an exploration project without
known ore reserves. It lies about six kilometers southeast of Murray, Idaho, in
the Granite Creek drainage and is accessed by an historic road that has been
washed out in areas. No electrical power is present at the site. The Companys
land position consists of 29 wholly owned unpatented lode claims covering an
area of 586 acres. The property hosts polymetallic lead, copper and gold
mineralization in and along the contact of an igneous intrusive.

HistoryThe Giant Ledge prospect was
active in the 1920s when a 122 meter deep shaft was sunk and about 450 meters
of drift development was completed. A flotation mill was erected and a minor
amount of production was achieved. Bunker Hill Mining Company examined and
mapped the mine workings in the 1950s. Sunshine Mining Company conducted
exploration at the Giant Ledge in the mid-1980s and drilled two core holes.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the
Property NJMC was able to procure the core from Sunshines drilling
program, and the core was re-logged and assayed. The best of the mineralization
showed 4.6 meters of 0.908 gpt gold and 0.24% combined copper and lead. An
extensive soil sampling program was completed in conjunction with a VLF and
magnetometer survey. Results of the soil sampling show a 600 meter diameter gold
anomaly and the magnetometer survey shows a magnetic low coincident with the
gold anomaly. No work was completed at the Giant Ledge property in 2009.

Exploration and Development Plans If sufficient
funds are available, the Company will perform a ground-based geophysical survey
utilizing induced polarization (IP).

MAC PROSPECT

The Mac prospect is an exploration project without known ore
reserves. It lies about three kilometers northwest of Murray, Idaho and is
accessed by USFS dirt roads. No electrical power is present at the site. The
Companys land position at the Mac Prospect consists of 32 wholly owned
unpatented lode claims covering an area of 528 acres. The Mac is a gold
exploration project hosted within the rocks of the Prichard formation and
geochemical analysis of the gold mineralization indicates anomalous levels of
tellurium similar to prospects within the Toboggan Joint Venture. Historic
placer and underground mining has taken place on the property, although it is
not well documented. Work completed by the Company in 2008 included claim
staking, soil sampling, geologic mapping and rock sampling. No work was
completed on the Mac prospect in 2009. Exploration plans are dependent on the
Companys ability to raise funds, but may include more soil sampling and
geologic analysis to define core drilling targets.

COPPER CAMP

Summary The Copper Camp is an exploration
project without known ore reserves. Copper Camp lies about eight kilometers
northwest of Murray, Idaho and is accessed by the Lost Creek USFS road.
Electrical power is located adjacent to the site. The Company signed an
exploration agreement with RMA in December of 2007 which covers nine unpatented
claims with an area of about 180 acres. Terms of the agreement call for an
exploration period of five years, and during or at the end of the exploration
period NJMC can decide to enter a mining agreement. Upon entering a mining
agreement, NJMC could exercise an option to buy 90% of the royalty interest for
$2.5 million or NJMC could decide to pay the full Net Smelter Royalty of 3% on
any production with annual minimum royalty requirements. Upon signing of the
agreement, the Company issued 30,000 shares of restricted common stock plus
$4,500. During the subsequent five-year exploration period, the required annual
payments are 30,000 shares and $3,000.

The Copper Camp showing is an early-stage copper and silver
exploration project, having been explored with limited drilling by previous
operators which include Kennecott, Cominco, and U.S. Borax. Previous operators
drilled core holes down dip from the outcrop and three holes penetrated the
favorable Revett Formation beds showing low-grade copper-silver mineralization.
At least three intercepts were made averaging 10 meters in thickness and grading
0.10% to 0.20% copper and 1.7 to 3.3 grams per tonne (gpt) silver. One short
0.18 meter interval at 173.2 meters of depth had structurally controlled bornite
mineralization grading 4.45% copper and 84.0 gpt silver. The Company has
submitted a POO to the USFS for a core drilling program at Copper Camp. Approval
of the POO is expected in 2010. The timing of drilling will be dependent on the
Companys ability to secure adequate funding. An additional 13 unpatented lode
claims were also staked increasing the property area to about 440 acres. No work
was completed on the Copper Camp prospect in 2009.

WISCONSIN-TEDDY PROSPECT

SummaryThe Wisconsin-Teddy is an
exploration project without known ore reserves. The project area lies north of
the New Jersey mine and is accessed by a local frontage road. Electrical power
is available adjacent to the site. The Company's claims cover 83 acres. The
claims are unpatented and are on public land administered by the BLM. The
project is a base metal exploration project in the Prichard Formation. Several
tunnels with an aggregate length of 2,000 feet were driven on the property prior
to 1930. This development was related to two veins systems: a copper-gold vein
and a zinc-lead-silver vein. Work completed by the Company included the opening
of the Teddy underground workings, sampling on the surface and underground, and
geologic mapping. Two exploration holes were drilled in the summer of 2003 and
anomalous base metal mineralization was found. No exploration work has been
completed since 2003 and there are no plans for additional exploration work in
2010.

SILVER BUTTON/ROUGHWATER PROSPECT

SummaryThe Silver Button is an
exploration project without known ore reserves, covers an area of 20 acres, and
is located in the Clark Fork mining district of northern Idaho. Clark Fork is
about 96 kilometers north of Kellogg, Idaho. The property was staked by the
Company in 2004 and is located in the Lightning Creek drainage. Float collected
from over a 100 m length of a vein subcrop on a talus slope contained silver
minerals as identified by microscopic and chemical analyses. Access to the site
is via foot trail and no electrical power is available at the site. Only
preliminary field sampling and claim staking have taken place at the prospect. A
POO for a helicopter-mobilized core-drilling program has been submitted to the
USFS. Modifications to the POO were made after meeting with the USFS in June of
2005. A site visit was made with USFS personnel in 2006, but the USFS has yet to
indicate if or when the POO will be approved. Exploration drilling will be
dependent on the Companys ability to raise sufficient funds and the receipt of
a permit from the USFS. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had an investment
cost of $25,500 associated with this property.

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 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 contain gold and silver telluride
minerals. The Toboggan Project is being explored by Newmont North America
Exploration Limited under a joint venture agreement. Newmont is conducting
exploration in a 38 square mile area centered on the prospects that the Company
has staked previously and on new claims staked by Newmont. During 2009 Newmont
completed a drilling program, and also conducted soil sampling surveys and
geological mapping. Newmont has made plans for additional drilling of certain
targets in 2010. The Niagara copper-silver deposit, also located in the Murray,
Idaho area, in the Revett formation was drilled in the 1970s, and the Company
drilled five holes since which expanded the resource. Results of the recent
drilling also indicate that gold would be a significant byproduct. Preliminary
open pit mining studies have been completed. The Company will continue in-fill
drilling on the known resource and is planning to drill to intercept a deeper
stratabound target in the Revett formation. At the Golden Chest mine, during
2009, all of the accessible ore pillar remnants were mined but further work on
the development ramp to access reserves will have to await financing. During the
year, joint venture opportunities were evaluated and toward the end of the year
a letter of intent was signed with a potential joint venture party, but a
definitive agreement has not been signed to date. The Company will continue to
search for joint venture opportunities in order to acquire funding to develop
the reserves at the Golden Chest mine. Permits are in place and development of
infrastructure has been completed in order to be able to begin production of
silver-gold ore at the Silver Strand mine in May 2010. At the Coleman
underground mine, it is planned to drive a raise on the vein starting in the
first quarter of 2010 to establish whether reserves can be calculated on the
deeper parts of the Coleman vein.

The Company conducted core drilling operations at the Toboggan
Project for Newmont under a service agreement and plans to continue such
drilling in 2010.

The New Jersey mineral processing plant processed 1,469 tonnes
during 2009. The plant operated on a regular schedule of 4 days per week, 10
hours per day, processing ore from the Golden Chest mine until May 2009 when ore
was depleted. Plans for 2010 include milling development rock from the Coleman
and milling ore from the Silver Strand mine when it becomes available, probably
in the third quarter of 2010.

16

---

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 year was $34,087, and
Figure 1 shows the corresponding balances for previous accounting periods.



Results of OperationsIncome Earned
during the Development Stage (Revenue) for 2009 was $450,883 as compared to
$74,284 for 2008. Revenue was higher in 2009 due to increased sales of gold and
contract drilling on the Toboggan Project. Figure 2 shows a net loss for 2009 of
$850,786 compared to $1,423,829 for 2008. The net loss for 2009 was less than
2008 because of higher revenue and lower exploration and G & A costs.



Gold production was 230 ounces in 2009 as compared to 96 ounces
for 2008. Gold production for the 2010 is expected to increase due to plans for
production from the Coleman and Silver Strand mines.

Ore mining operations at the Golden Chest mine ended in May
2009 when all accessible remnants were mined. If financing can be obtained, ramp
access will be extended to the Idaho vein reserves. If the Idaho vein ramp
development can be completed there will be more than 200,000 tonnes available.
There are no plans in 2010 to commence ramp development unless a joint venture
partner can be arranged.

17

---

Development rock from a raise at the Coleman mine will be
available for milling late in the first quarter of 2010.

Ore production is planned at the Silver Strand mine in the
second quarter of 2010. Production could commence in 30 days after mobilization
in May 2010, depending on weather. 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.

No major capital expenditures are planned at the New Jersey
mineral processing plant.

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. Management
expects that work will be done at the Coleman and Silver Strand mines in 2010
and that the mineral processing plant will be started in the first quarter of
2010 and operate the remainder of the year.

The Company raised approximately $500,000 with a private
placement in the first quarter of 2010 and has prepared a detailed plan of
operations for 2010 assuming no additional funds are produced by financing
efforts. This detailed plan includes operation of the Coleman and Silver Strand
mines as well as the mineral processing plant for the remainder of 2010. Plans
have been made for the Company to drill for Newmont at the Toboggan Project on a
contract basis during the summer season, and a Service Contract has been signed.
Newmont currently pays for all exploration activities on the Toboggan Project.
We expect to receive cash flow from the gold and silver sales and by providing
drilling services to Newmont on our joint venture (see note 8. Mining Venture
AgreementsNewmont Venture Agreement).

Changes in Direct Production Costs Direct
production costs, increased from 2008 to 2009 due to increased production in the
first two quarters of 2009 at the Golden Chest property

Changes in management costsAlthough
management costs increased in 2009 over 2008, 80% was paid in common stock to
help conserve available cash funds.

Changes in Exploration costsExploration costs decreased in 2009 versus 2008 due to a lack of
discretionary funding being available.

Changes in General and Administrative CostsGeneral and administrative costs decreased from 2008 to 2009 due to a
lack of discretionary funding and reduced activities in the third and fourth
quarters.

Changes in Contract Income and ExpenseContract drilling income and expense increased because this was the
first year of drilling done on contract for Newmont for the Toboggan Project.

properties. The Company has not yet developed sufficient reserves to justify
investment in a major mine, thus it remains in the development stage.

**2.**        **Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies**

Development Stage EnterpriseThe
Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
guidance for development stage entities as it devotes substantially all of its
efforts to acquiring and developing mining interests that will eventually
provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Companys existence. Until such
interests are engaged in major commercial production, the Company will continue
to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with
entities in the development stage.

In conjunction with development stage disclosure requirements,
  inception to date figures are included in the financial statements. These figures
  while labeled unaudited have all been audited by various accounting
  firms in their respective years. However, they have not as a whole been audited
  by the current auditing firm resulting in the unaudited classification.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue RecognitionAs a development
stage company, our revenue from operations is referred to as income earned
during the development stage. Revenue is recognized when title and risk of
ownership of metals or metal bearing concentrate have passed and collection is
reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of metals may be subject to adjustment
upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays, and are
recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of final settlement of prices,
weights and assays; such adjustments are typically not material in relation to
the initial invoice amounts.

InventoryDore' and process
inventories are stated at the lower of average cost incurred or net realizable
value.

Timber SalesRevenue from harvest of
raw timber is recognized when a contract has been established, the timber has
been shipped, and payment is deemed probable. These sales of timber found on the
Companys mineral properties are not a part of normal operations.

Drilling and Exploration Contract IncomeRevenue received from drilling and exploration contracts with third
parties is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are
rendered and payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal
operations.

Income TaxesIncome taxes are
accounted for under the liability method. Under this method deferred income tax
liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax
rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are expected to be paid or
recovered. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets,
if there is uncertainty regarding their realization.

Fair Values of Financial InstrumentsThe table below sets forth our financial assets that were accounted for
at fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and their respective hierarchy
level. 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).We had no other financial assets or liabilities accounted for
at fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

**2.**        **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:**

Fair Values of Financial Instruments,
continuedThe Company has one nonfinancial liability that is
accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis.Estimates of our
asset retirement obligations fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as
the estimates of environmental remediation costs involve unobservable inputs.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash
and cash equivalents, reclamation bonds, investment in marketable equity
securities, note payable to related party, obligations under capital lease and
notes payable are approximated at their fair values.

Investment in Marketable Equity SecurityMarketable equity securities are classified as available for sale and
are valued at the market price. Realized gains and losses on the sale of
securities are recognized on a specific identification basis. Unrealized gains
and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss), unless an other than temporary impairment in value has occurred, which
would then be charged to current period net income (loss).

Net Loss Per ShareNet loss per share
is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options,
warrants, and other convertible securities. For the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, the effect of the Companys potential issuance of shares from the
exercise of warrants would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic net
loss per share has been presented. Outstanding warrants are discussed in detail
in Note 9 of the financial statements.

ReclassificationsCertain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 financial statement
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss as previously
reported.

Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers
cash in banks and other deposits with an original maturity of three months or
less, that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty, to be cash and
cash equivalents.

Property, Plant and EquipmentProperty, plant and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or
estimated net realizable value. Depreciation and amortization are based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets and are computed using straight-line or
units-of-production methods. The expected useful life of most of the Companys
buildings is up to 50 years and equipment life expectancy ranges between two and
ten years. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related allowances for
depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting
gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Mineral PropertiesSignificant
payments related to the acquisition of mineral properties, mineral rights, and
mineral leases are capitalized.

If a commercially mineable ore body is discovered, such costs
are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method based
on proven and probable reserves. If no commercially mineable ore body is
discovered, or such rights are otherwise determined to have no value, such costs
are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future
economic value.

Mine Exploration and Development CostsThe Company records exploration costs as such in the period they occur.
Mine development costs are capitalized as deferred development costs after
proven and probable reserves have been identified. Interest costs incurred
during the development stage are capitalized. Amortization is calculated using
the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on
the estimated recoverable mineral ounces.

Claim FeesUnpatented claim fees paid
at time of staking are expensed when incurred. Recurring renewal fees which are
paid annually are recorded as prepaid and expensed over the course of the year.

Property EvaluationsAnnually, or more
frequently as circumstances require, the Company evaluates the carrying amounts
of its mineral properties, including deferred development costs, to assess
whether such amounts are recoverable. Estimated undiscounted future net cash
flows from each mineral property are calculated using estimated future
production, three year average metals prices, operating capital and costs, and
reclamations costs. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated future
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result from the use
of an asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Companys
estimates of future cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties. It is
reasonably possible that changes in estimates could occur which may affect the
expected recoverability of the Companys investments in mineral properties.

**2.**        **Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:**

Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO) and Remediation
CostsMineral properties are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have
  been established by various governmental agencies. Asset retirement obligations
  are related to the retirement of the mine, if a reasonable estimate of fair
  value can be determined. These obligations are initially measured at fair value
  with the resulting cost capitalized at the present value of estimated reclamation
  costs. An asset and a related liability are recorded for the present value of
  these costs. The liability is accreted and the asset amortized over the life
  of the related asset. Adjustments are made for changes resulting from either
  the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation.
  If there is an impairment to an assets carrying value and a decision is
  made to permanently close the property, changes to the liability are recognized
  and charged to the provision for closed operations and environmental matters.

Reclamation BondsVarious laws and
permits require that financial assurances be in place for certain environmental
and reclamation obligations and other potential liabilities. The reclamation
bond balances at December 31, 2009 and 2008, represent an investment in U.S.
government agency bonds. The bonds are restricted to ensure that reclamation is
performed at certain properties where the Company is conducting mining and
exploration activities.

Share Based Compensation or PaymentsAll transactions in which goods or services are received for the
issuance of shares of the Companys common stock are accounted for based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the common stock
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

New Jersey Mining Company(A Development Stage
Company) Notes to Financial Statements

**5.**        **Mineral
Properties, continued:**

Grenfel The Company's Grenfel property is a
leasehold interest covering the mineral rights of 68 acres located at the New
Jersey Mine area of interest. The lease was acquired from Mine Systems Design
("MSD") in 2001 in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
The 1,000,000 shares were valued at $0.10 per share, which approximated the
market price for the restricted common stock on the date of the lease. MSD is
also a major shareholder of the Company and is owned by Fred Brackebusch and
Grant Brackebusch, officers and directors of the Company. The lease has a
fifteen year term, and includes a 3% net smelter return (NSR) royalty that
will be paid to MSD on any production achieved from the property.

Coleman The Coleman property is located at
the New Jersey Mine area of interest and consists of 62 acres of patented mining
claims, mineral rights to 108 acres of fee land, and approximately 130 acres of
unpatented mining claims. The Coleman property was acquired in October 2002,
with the acquisition of Gold Run Gulch Mining Company. At December 31, 2009
deferred development includes asset retirement costs of $6,341.

Silver Strand The Silver Strand mine consists
of 15 unpatented claims and was acquired from Trend Mining Company (Trend) in
2000. The property was purchased in exchange for 50,000 shares of the Companys
common stock and a 1.5% NSR royalty initially capped at $50,000 and then
decreasing to 0.5%. In July of 2001, MSD assumed Trends position in the
agreement, and retained the NSR royalty interest. Deferred development includes
asset retirement costs of $19,572 and $33,200 at December 31, 2009 and 2008
respectively.

NiagaraThe Company signed an
exploration agreement with Revett Metals Associates (RMA) in December 2006.
The exploration agreement has a term of five years, beginning on December 2,
2006, and is for nine unpatented claims that cover the deposit. In addition, the
exploration agreement covers an area of mutual interest within 1⁄2 mile of the
property excluding properties which are valued primarily for their gold
mineralization. Upon signing the agreement, the Company issued 30,000 shares of
restricted common stock valued at $0.50 to RMA and paid $4,500. At each
anniversary of the signing, the Company has agreed to pay $3,000 and issue
30,000 shares of restricted common stock to RMA. Any time prior to the
expiration of the exploration agreement, the Company can exercise an option to
convert the exploration agreement to a mining agreement. If exercised, the
mining agreement would have a term of 25 years, and the Company would pay a NSR
royalty to RMA of 3.0% on ores or concentrates mined on the property. The
Company is granted the option to purchase 90% of the NSR royalty from RMA for
$2,500,000 which would leave a remaining royalty of 0.3%.

Copper Camp The Company signed an exploration
agreement with RMA in November 2007. The exploration agreement has a term of
five years, beginning on November 28, 2007, and is for nine unpatented claims
that cover the prospect. In addition, the exploration agreement covers an area
of mutual interest within 1⁄2 mile of the property, excluding properties which are
valued primarily for their gold mineralization. Upon signing the agreement, the
Company issued 30,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.50 to RMA
and paid $4,500. At each anniversary of the signing, the Company had agreed to
pay $3,000 and issue 30,000 shares of restricted common stock to RMA. In
addition to the 30,000 share scheduled stock payment, in 2008 and 2009, 15,000
and 12,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued, respectively, in lieu
of the scheduled cash payment. Any time prior to the expiration of the
exploration agreement, the Company can exercise an option to convert the
exploration agreement to a mining agreement. If exercised, the mining agreement
would have a term of 25 years, and the Company would pay a NSR royalty to RMA of
3.0% on ores or concentrates mined on the property. The Company is granted the
option to purchase 90% of the NSR royalty from RMA for $2,500,000 which would
leave a remaining royalty of 0.3%.

Roughwater/Silver Button The Silver Button
claim is the remaining property of the ten claims acquired from Roughwater
Mining Company. During 2005, the other nine Roughwater unpatented claims were
dropped. In 2001, the Company purchased the property through the issuance of
255,000 shares of its common stock to Roughwater Mining Company. The shares were
valued at $0.10 per share, for a total acquisition cost of $25,500.

Lost Eagle Lost Eagle is a gold and silver
exploration project consisting of five claims covering 100 acres of federal land
administered by the U.S. Forest Service. In 2001, the Company issued 50,000
shares of stock to an individual to acquire the property. The shares were valued
at $0.10 per share for a total acquisition cost of $5,000.

Wisconsin Teddy 
  The Wisconsin Teddy is an exploration project that lies north of the New Jersey
  Mine and covers 83 acres of unpatented claims on federal land administered by
  the U.S. BLM. The project has no carrying value.

New Jersey Mining Company(A Development Stage
Company) Notes to Financial Statements

**5.**        **Mineral Properties, continued**

Zanetti Mining Lease The Company has been
assigned a mining lease with William Zanetti. The lease provides for the
Company's exploration, development and mining of minerals on fee land through
October 2008 and thereafter, as long as mining operations are deemed continuous.
The lease provides for production royalties of 5% of net sales of ores or
concentrates. Additional production royalties of 1% to 5% are due if gold
exceeds a certain price per troy ounce as adjusted annually by the CPI. At
December 31, 2009, the gold price that would cause additional production
royalties to be payable was $717 per troy ounce. Also, advance royalties of $500
are required annually under the lease. These advance royalties are charged to
expense as incurred, but are still accumulated and will be credited against
production royalty obligations if and when production ensues. The lessor may
terminate the lease upon the Company's failure to perform under the terms of the
lease; and the Company has the right to terminate the lease at any time.

Golden Chest Mining LeasesOn January
3, 2005, the Company signed a mining lease on the Golden Chest with Metaline
Contact Mines (MTLI) and J.W. Beasley Interests, LLC (JWBI) that covers about
270 acres. The Company completed a pre-feasibility study on an open pit resource
drilled by Newmont Exploration Limited and issued 50,000 shares of its
restricted common stock to both MTLI and JWBI to exercise the mining lease. The
term of the lease is fifteen years and as long thereafter as Leased Substances
are mined, processed or marketed from the property. A NSR royalty of 3% is
payable to the Lessors. An additional NSR royalty up to a maximum 3% is payable
based on a sliding scale of increasing gold prices adjusted by the CPI using
June 2003 (CPI=183.7) as the base. See table below.

Sliding Scale for Additional NSR Royalty:

Price of Gold, $ / Troy Ounce (using December 2008
      CPI-U)
    Additional NSR Royalty< $470
    None$470 to $529
    1.0%$529 to $588
    1.5%$588 to $647
    2.0%> $647
    3.0%


Finally, the Company will issue 50,000 shares of restricted
common stock for each increment of 10,000 troy ounces of gold production.
Production to date under the Mining Lease Agreement has been 1,465 ounces of
gold.

On January 3, 2005, the Company signed a mining lease with
Prichard Creek Resource Partners, LLC that covers about 41 acres of unpatented
lode claims. Upon exercising the lease the Company issued 30,000 shares of
restricted common stock to Prichard Creek Resource Partners. The term of the
lease is fifteen years and as long thereafter as Leased Substances are mined,
processed or marketed from the Leased Premises. A NSR royalty of 3% is payable
to the Lessors. An additional NSR royalty is based on the same sliding scale,
presented in the table above, is also payable to Prichard Creek Resource
Partners. Finally, if commercial production is commenced from these claims a
one-time payment of 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock is payable to
Prichard Creek Resource Partners.

**7.**        **Mining
Venture Agreements**

Basin Gold Venture AgreementThe
Company and Basin Gold Mines Inc. ("Basin Gold") entered discussion into a
possible Mining Venture Agreement in November, 2009 relating to the Golden Chest
Property and signed a Letter of Intent outlining the terms of a mining venture
agreement. At that time Basin paid the Company a $50,000 non refundable deposit
which would have been applied towards their purchase of a 50% share in the Joint
Venture should they have chosen to enter into a definitive agreement. The
deadline for closing a definitive agreement was January 15, 2010. The deadline
passed without signing a definitive agreement so the terms expired with no
definitive agreement being signed or no further obligations by the Company with
respect to the proposed agreement.

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 is required to 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. Newmont has completed two field seasons of exploration work and is
planning the third season in 2010. Newmont has made satisfactory progress toward
completing their required expenditures under the agreement.

**8.**        **Income Taxes**

The Company did not record an income tax provision for the
years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008, as it had no taxable income. At December
31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards
available for income tax purposes of approximately $6,718,000 and $5,867,000,
respectively, which will expire through 2029, and associated deferred tax assets
of approximately $2,284,000 and $1,994,800, respectively. The deferred tax
assets were calculated assuming a 34% marginal tax rate, and have been fully
reserved as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be utilized.

The Companys net operating loss carry forwards expire as

**11.**      
**Investment in Marketable Security**

In 2006, the Company purchased 1,875,000 common shares of Gold
Crest Mines Inc for $7,500. In 2009 the Company sold 665,620 of those shares for
cash proceeds of $24,823, resulting in a realized gain of $22,160. No shares
were sold in 2008.

At December 31, 2009, the Company held 967,180 of these shares
with a market value of $0.02 per share, for a total market value of $21,665. At
December 31, 2009, the excess market value of $17,796 over the $3,868 remaining
cost basis of the shares was recognized as accumulated other comprehensive
income in the equity section of the Companys balance sheet.

The Companys president became a director of Gold Crest in
2006. He resigned in February of 2008.

**12.**      
**Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company owns or leases several mineral properties located
in the Coeur dAlene River Basin. In recent years, certain other companies
involved in mining activities on property interests upland of the Coeur d'Alene
River Basin have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(CERCLA), and have entered into consent decrees with the EPA and the state of
Idaho, concerning environmental remediation obligations and damages to or loss
of natural resources in the Coeur d'Alene River Basin. The Company has not
received any notification of a pending action or proceeding against the Company
relating to environmental claims or assessments. It is possible, however, that
the Companys obligation could change in the near or longer term, and the
resultant liability or claim for damages could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

**13.**      
**Subsequent Events**

The private placement initiated by the Company in September of
2009 was amended in February of 2010 from a unit cost of $0.25 to $0.17. Each
unit included one share of unregistered common stock and one common stock
purchase warrant whereby each warrant may purchase one share of the Companys
unregistered common stock at $0.30 until January 31, 2013. This amended
placement was brokered in part by Pennaluna & Company for 10% of gross
proceeds. In addition to the units discussed in Note 9, as of March 10, 2009
3,205,588 additional units were sold in the first quarter of 2010. Total gross
proceeds of $544,950 were raised, $32,400 from non-brokered sales and $512,550
from brokered sales, producing net proceeds of $493,695. In addition, 64,941
units were issued to investors who participated in the private placement at
$0.25 to bring their share contribution to an equivalent of $0.17 per share.

ITEM 9A(T).

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At December 31, 2009, our President who also serves as our
Chief Accounting Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), which disclosure controls
and procedures are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods specified by
the Securities & Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Based upon that evaluation, it was concluded that our
disclosure controls were effective as of December 31, 2009, to ensure timely
reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, the
Companys corporate governance and disclosure controls and procedures provided
reasonable assurance that required reports were timely and accurately reported
in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting

The management of New Jersey Mining Company is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
This internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance
to the Companys management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and
fair presentation of the Companys published financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.

The management of New Jersey Mining Company has assessed the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009. To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting described in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we believe
that, as of December 31, 2009, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting is effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of
the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only
management's report in this annual report.

Fred Brackebusch, President, CEO and CFO New Jersey Mining
Company

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The
design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

The President and Principal Accounting Officer conducted
evaluations of our internal controls over financial reporting to determine
whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. There was no material
change in internal control over financial reporting in the quarter ended
December 31, 2009.

of Directors approved a compensation plan for our President, Fred W.
Brackebusch, that states that any time over 130 hours per month is compensated
with restricted common stock at a rate of $150 per hour. In January of 2009, the
Board of Directors approved a compensation plan for Vice President Grant
Brackebusch that awarded him with restricted common stock for an average of 84.5
hours per month at a rate of $100 per hour. The number of shares is calculated
quarterly using the average bid price for the quarter as quoted by the OTC
Bulletin Board. Additionally, in 2009, both Fred W. Brackebusch and Grant
Brackebusch have been compensated with shares in lieu of cash for some of their
base salaries as well to conserve limited cash. The number of shares to be
awarded is calculated quarterly by using the average bid price of the Companys
Common Stock. Shares issued to Fred Brackebusch were 198,700 in 2008, and
651,320 in 2009. The shares were valued at an average price of $0.36 per share
in 2008, and $0.30 per share in 2009. Shares issued to Grant Brackebusch in 2009
were 338,000 valued at an average price of $0.30 per share.

The Company does not have a retirement plan for its executive
officers and there is no agreement, plan or arrangement that provides for
payments to executive officers in connection with resignation, retirement,
termination or a change in control of the Company.

Director IndependenceThe Board of
Directors has determined that each of the following Directors is an independent
director as such term is defined by the rules of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC): Ivan R. Linscott, William C. Rust, and M. Kathleen Sims. These three
Directors comprise a majority of the Board of Directors. The rules of FINRA and
the SEC generally provide that an independent director is a person other than
an officer or employee of the Company or any individual having a relationship
that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the
exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a
Director. The FINRA rules also provide specific criteria that, if met,
disqualify a director from being independent.

The Board of Directors does not have separately designated
nominating or compensation committees. The entire Board performs these
functions. At a Board of Directors meeting on September 21, 2004, the Directors
approved an audit committee comprised of William C. Rust and M. Kathleen Sims.
Each member of the audit committee is deemed to be an independent director as
that term is defined in Rule 4200(a)(14) of the NASDs listing standards. M.
Kathleen Sims is the chairperson of the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee
Financial Expert as defined by Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

that the provision of such services do not impair the auditors independence.
