DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

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 and permitting delays. 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 Organization

New Jersey Mining Company (the Company) 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. The partnership
  consisted of Mine Systems Design, Inc. [75%], Plainview Mining Company [13%],
  Silver Trend Mining Company [10%], Mark C. Brackebusch [1%], and Mascot Silver-Lead
  Mines, Inc. [1%]. The New Jersey Joint Venture brought the New Jersey mine into
  production by building a 100 tonne per day concentrator with a gravity circuit
  for gold recovery.

Any Bankruptcy, Receivership or Similar Proceedings

There 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 Ordinary Course
  of Business.

There have been no material reclassifications or purchases
  or sales of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business
  for the past three years. However, on October 22, 2002, the Company completed
  a merger with Gold Run Gulch Mining Company (GRG). The Company exchanged 1,916,250
  common shares for all the outstanding shares of GRG. The exchange ratio was
  0.875 of a share of New Jersey Mining Co. for one share of (GRG). The shares
  issued to GRG were restricted by SEC Rule 144. GRG's primary asset was the New
  Jersey mine property which included 62 acres of patented mining claims, mineral
  rights to 108 acres of fee land, and approximately 130 acres of unpatented mining
  claims.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

General Description of the Business

The 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 seven mineral properties: the New Jersey mine, the
  Silver Strand mine, the Golden Chest mine, the CAMP project, the Lost Eagle
  project, the Wisconsin-Teddy project and the Roughwater Project. The New Jersey
  mine and the Silver Strand mine are the Company's development stage properties
  while the other five properties are exploration stage properties.

The Company's New Jersey mine property has an area of approximately
  430 acres and includes two mineral leases. The Company owns 5 patented claims
  containing 62 acres, 7 unpatented claims containing 130 acres surrounding the
  patented claims, and mineral rights to fee land containing 108 acres. The known
  orebody is located on the patented claims. A mineral lease from William Zanetti
  in the New Jersey mill area contains about 60 acres. This mineral lease carries
  a 5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR). A second mineral lease of 68 acres was acquired
  from Mine Systems Design, Inc. in September of 2001. This lease carries a 3%
  NSR.

The Company's Silver Strand mine consists of fifteen unpatented
  lode claims on federal land administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The claims
  were acquired from Trend Mining Company pursuant to a purchase agreement dated
  July 14, 2000.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations
  on the Business

All operating plans have been made in consideration of existing
  governmental regulations. Regulations that would most affect operations are
  related to water quality. A plan of operation is usually required before exploration
  or mining activities can be conducted on public land that is administered by
  the Bureau of Land Management or US Forest Service. 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
  our mines. There is no known evidence that previous operations at the New Jersey
  mine prior to 1910 caused any ground water 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

5

---

at the Silver Strand mine and 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 Record of Decision does not include any cleanup activities
  at the Companys mines. New Jersey Mining Company has not received any
  notifications that it could be liable for any environmental cleanup. The Bureau
  of Land Management is currently revising its regulations relative to exploration
  and mining operations, but the planned changes are not thought to have major
  effects on planned operations at the New Jersey mine.

The Company submitted a Plan of Operation to the US Forest
  Service (USFS) in April 2003 for a seasonal, underground mining operation at
  the Silver Strand mine. USFS is conducting an environmental assessment of the
  plan and a FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact) document is expected this
  year. A 30 day appeal period would follow the issuance of a FONSI document.
  An appeal of a FONSI could delay the permitting for an unknown period of time.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
  (Federal, State and Local)

No major Federal permits [except EPA storm water permit which
  is a blanket state-wide permit] are required for the New Jersey mine because
  most operations are on private land and there are no process discharges to streams.
  Any exploration program conducted by the Company on unpatented mining claims,
  usually administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), requires a
  Plan of Operation to be submitted. An approved plan of operations at the Silver
  Strand will most likely require water quality monitoring, a reclamation plan,
  and possibly treatment of the mine water discharge. A reclamation bond will
  be required before operations can begin at the Silver Strand. The amount of
  the reclamation bond is uncertain at this time. Water quality monitoring at
  the Silver Strand is expected to cost about $2,000 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 mine
  and Silver Strand mine operations. When a mine is operating, MSHA performs a
  series of inspections to verify compliance with mine safety laws.

With respect to the New Jersey mine, two important State of
  Idaho permits are necessary to perform the mining and milling operation, both
  of which are in hand. The first is an Idaho Cyanidation Permit and the second
  is a reclamation plan for surface mining operations. An Idaho cyanidation permit
  was applied for, and the permit was granted October 10, 1995 [No. CN-000027]
  The cyanidation process, CIL, has not been implemented at the New Jersey mine
  as of this date. The deposition of tailings using paste technology is a unique
  part of the permit. Tailings will be dewatered to a paste consistency using
  a high density thickener. Cyanide will be destroyed in the paste using bleach,
  and the tailings will be deposited on a sloped stack. Fred W. Brackebusch has
  received a U.S. patent (5,636,942) on this new tailings technology. Reclamation
  of the tailings stack will be done concurrently with mining. The Cyanidation
  permit requires quarterly surface and groundwater monitoring prior to startup
  of the CIL plant and monthly sampling once operations commence. The current
  water monitoring program costs the Company about $2,000 on an annual basis.
  The estimated annual cost for sampling if CIL operations begin is about $25,000.

A surface mining reclamation plan 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 $130 is paid to the Idaho Department of Lands for
  surface disturbance associated with the New Jersey mine open pit.

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

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees

The Company's total number of employees is three including
  President Fred Brackebusch, Vice President Grant Brackebusch and Secretary Tina
  Brackebusch. Grant Brackebusch is the only full-time employee at this time.
  Fred W. Brackebusch and Tina C. Brackebusch work part-time for the Company.
  Exploration and development work is currently performed independent contractors
  hired by the Company. It is expected that about three full time employees will
  be hired once mill operations commence.

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company is not required to deliver an annual report to
  shareholders, however, it plans to deliver an annual report to shareholders
  in 2004. The annual report will contain audited financial statements. The Company
  may also rely on the Internet in the future to deliver annual reports to shareholders.

The Company filed a Form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission on January 11, 2000. The filing became effective on January 27, 2000.
  The Company has filed the required annual 10-KSB reports, quarterly 10-QSB reports,
  and occasional 8-K reports since that time.

The public may read a copy of any materials the Company files

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

NEW JERSEY MINE

Location

The New Jersey mine is located in the Gold Run Gulch area,
  comprising about 15 square miles in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District. Located
  2 miles east of Kellogg, Idaho, the New Jersey property area 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. The area is underlain by argillites and quartzites of the Prichard
  formation [member of Belt Supergroup], which commonly hosts gold mineralization.

Mineral Property

The 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 U.S. Bureau
  of Land Management. The known orebody is located on the patented mining claims.

Mineral Leases

A mineral lease from William Zanetti in the New Jersey mill
  area contains about 60 acres. Alliance Title and Escrow Corporation of Wallace,
  Idaho has issued a Commitment for Title Insurance for the fee simple property
  leased from 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 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 know as a Net Smelter Return. Additional royalties
  of 1% to 5% are due if the gold price exceeds $612 per ounce as of December
  31, 2003. This additional royalty gold price is indexed to the Consumer Price
  Index 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 was acquired from Mine Systems Design,
  Inc. (MSD) in 2001 in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common
  Stock. The lease 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. The lessors may terminate the leases
  upon the Company's failure to perform under the terms of the lease. A 3% Net
  Smelter Return (NSR) royalty will be paid to the lessors if production is achieved.
  However, the NSR shall not exceed 10% of the net proceeds, and except that the
  NSR shall not be less than 1%. No advance royalties are required by this lease.

History

There are at least 14 gold prospects in or near the New Jersey
  mine area. Most of the prospecting activity was completed before the turn of
  the century, and almost no work has been done for at least 50 years. Just after
  the turn of the century, at the New Jersey mine, more than 2,500 feet of development

8

---

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. The amount
  of money spent from 1899 to 1910 appears to have been $500,000 to $1,000,000
  in 1996 dollars. The operation was discontinued because of the difficulty in
  recovering fine gold without cyanidation technology, because of the lower price
  of gold relative to mining costs, and because of inadequate drilling and mining
  technology. For example, the Coleman vein, a hard quartz vein, was so difficult
  to drill using hand steel that drifts along the vein were not driven to any
  great lengths. A considerable portion of the gold is in free grains, so there
  is a strong nugget effect.

Present Condition and Work Completed on the Property

Presently, operations at the New Jersey mine are suspended,
  but construction has started on a flotation circuit at the mill. Operations
  were suspended in mid 1997 due to the low gold price. During the period from
  1994 through the suspension of operations in 1997 many projects were completed
  on the property. Several of the historic underground workings, namely the 2400
  level adit and the Keyhole tunnel, were opened up. This permitted personnel
  to sample, map and evaluate portions of the Coleman vein and associated gold
  bearing structures.

A 100 ton per day gravity mill has been built and commissioned.
  A crushing plant was built and commissioned in 1996. An open pit mining program
  on the Coleman vein was initiated in 1995. Approximately 5,000 tons of ore were
  processed at the mill during 1995 through 1996. A gravity concentrate was produced
  and sold to ASARCO in East Helena, Montana. Gold recovery from the ore using
  gravity methods of concentration was relatively low (approx. 60%) so the decision
  was made to upgrade the mill to a CIL (Carbon-In-Leach) process. Testwork using
  the CIL process on New Jersey ores indicated gold recoveries of up to 95% were
  achievable.

During 2001, the Company completed a diamond drilling exploration
  program at the New Jersey mine. Two holes were drilled to explore a geophysical
  anomaly detected in the autumn of 2000. One hole intercepted a broad zone of
  arsenopyrite mineralization, named the Grenfel zone, which contained two separate
  zones of anomalous gold content ( 0.70 grams per tonne gold over two separate
  10 meter intervals) In 2002, 1,317 meters of diamond drilling was completed
  amongst 11 holes at the New Jersey mine. The drilling confirmed the continuity
  of the Coleman vein system as nine of the holes intercepted the vein system.
  Reserves were not increased as the drilling was too widely spaced. 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. Drilling was conducted at the Scotch Thistle prospect,
  Enterprise prospect and northern Coleman vein in 2003. Silver, lead and zinc
  mineralization was discovered at the Enterprise and a new zone of gold mineralization
  was found at the Scotch Thistle.

Exploration plans call for drifting from the 2400 Level north
  to explore for the downward projection of the DDH02-02 vein intercept. Follow-up
  drilling is also planned at for the Enterprise and Scotch Thistle prospects.
  In 2004, the Company started the construction of a flotation circuit at the
  New Jersey mill. Completion of the circuit is anticipated in August 2004.

Geology and Reserve/Resource

The description of the geology of the New Jersey mine and
  the calculation of mineral resources have been completed by the Company and
  not an independent third party. 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 resource calculations.

Geology

The 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 Osburn fault is in the center of a Proterozoic rifting basin.
  The Prichard formation is divided into nine rock units of alternating argillites
  and quartzites, and the units exposed in the New Jersey mine area appear to
  belong to the lower members. A broad domal structure with a series of tighter
  folds near the Osburn fault typifies the structure of the area. South of the
  Osburn fault, the Wallace formation is exposed on the north flank of the Big
  Creek anticline. A fault was discovered by the 2001 drilling program. The fault
  appears to be a fairly large east-west striking structure that may separate
  the Coleman veins from the Grenfel zone. However, more information is required
  to confirm that hypothesis.

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 tetrahedrite, galena,
  and sphalerite. Most commonly in the Coleman vein of the New Jersey mine visible
  gold is associated with the tetrahedrite. Gold prospects are concentrated in
  the New Jersey mine area possibly because of the presence of lower Prichard
  stratigraphic members, an anticlinal structure, and/or the existence of a gold
  source. Gold is associated with arsenic, copper, and antimony. Igneous dikes
  are relatively rare. Some wallrock alteration has been observed. The Coleman
  vein shows a characteristic brecciation The cumulative strike length of the
  veins on the property based on exposures in drifts, outcrops and float is about
  460 meters.

Reserves

The reserves at the New Jersey mine as of this date are those
  contained within the open pit on the Coleman vein. Open pit reserves are from
  the planned pit which extends from the south portal north to the terminus of
  the Coleman Vein. The vertical extent of the pit is from the surface outcrop
  down to the Keyhole Tunnel level. Grade estimation for the blocks in the pit
  reserve is based upon calculated head grades from 5,000 short tons of gravity-mill
  production. Other sources include channel samples from the outcrop and also
  from the Keyhole Tunnel.

SILVER STRAND MINE

Location

The Silver Strand mine is located in Kootenai County, Idaho
  about 12 miles east-northeast of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The property consists
  of 15 unpatented lode claims. 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 Property

The Company's Silver Strand mine consists of fifteen unpatented
  lode claims on federal land 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% Net Smelter Return
  (NSR) capped at $50,000 after which the NSR decreases to 0.5%.

History

The 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,
  9.6 ounces per ton silver 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, Spokane Research
  Center to conduct a mining research product 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 Property

The Silver Strand mine is an underground mine that was mined
  during the 1970's and early 1980's. No mining has taken place at the property
  since that time. Since mining was suspended only limited exploration has taken
  place at the Silver Strand including geochemical sampling and diamond drilling.
  In 1997, Silver Trend Mining Company completed a four hole surface diamond drilling
  program which totaled 795 meters. The mine is accessed by three horizontal openings
  called levels: the No. 2 Level, the No. 225 Level and the No. 3 Level which
  is the lowest level and is located at the creek bottom adjacent to forest road
  No. 411. All three levels are accessible from the surface via a network of dirt
  roads. The USBM installed a large culvert at the portal of the No. 3 Level in
  order to stabilize that entrance. No surface infrastructure presently exists
  at the Silver Strand. There is no energy available at the site. Any electrical
  energy requirements would have to be satisfied with an on-site generator.

During 2002, an exploration drilling program was completed
  at the Silver Strand. Also, rehabilitation of the 225 Level portal was started
  but not completed in 2002. The drilling was successful in extending the limits
  of the ore shoot below the No. 3 Level. In April 2003, the Company submitted
  a Plan of Operations (POO) to the USFS for a seasonal underground mining operation
  with a planned production rate of 1,000 tonnes per month. The USFS is currently
  evaluating the POO and a decision is expected in early 2004. The startup of
  mining at the Silver Stand is dependent on the timely receipt of a permit from
  the USFS and economic gold and silver prices.

Geology and Reserve/Resource

Company 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).

Geology

The Silver Strand is located in the Belt Basin about 25 miles
  northwest of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District. The 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
  northerly (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). Anderson combined the Burke and Revett formations
  and estimated the combined thickness to be from 1,000 to 3000 feet. There are
  no major intrusive rocks near the Silver Strand mine. A major diabase dike has
  intruded the Silver Strand mineralized zone. The diabase dike is weathered and
  altered near the surface, but appears fresh in deeper drill hole intercepts.
  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 the 1997 diamond drilling program. 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. Occasional euhedral crystals of pyrite
  can be observed, and tetrahedrite is visible in the higher grade ore. Minerals
  observed by microscopic study during metallurgical tests include: pyrite, tetrahedrite,
  tennatite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite and stibnite.

Reserves

Ore grades and dimensions of the reserve blocks are based
  on chip sampling of the vein underground and diamond drilling. Reserves were
  calculated using the standard practices of the Coeur dAlene Mining District.

|Classification    | Metric Tonnes  | Gold Grade      | Silver Grade  
|----------------- | -------------- | --------------- | --------------
|Grams Per Tonne   | Ounces Per Ton | Grams Per Tonne | Ounces Per Ton
|Proven & Probable | 6,903          | 5.43            | 0.158         

The reserve tonnages are diluted. That is, the expected dilution
  from underground mining is accounted for in the grade and tonnage of the reserve
  blocks.

GOLDEN CHEST

Location

The Golden Chest project is located in Reader Gulch about
  1.2 miles east of Murray, Idaho along Forest Highway 9. It is an exploration
  project without proven and probable ore reserves. The property consists of two
  exploration leases and unpatented claims covering approximately 490 acres. The
  site is

12

---

accessible by unimproved dirt roads and no surface infrastructure
  is present at the site. Electrical power is available at the site at lower elevations
  near Forest Highway 9.

Mineral Lease

On September 5, 2003, the Company signed an exploration lease
  and option to lease with Paymaster Resources Incorporated on the Golden Chest
  mine covering about 230 acres. The exploration lease calls for a 2.5 year exploration
  period during which the Company will issue 10,000 shares of its common stock
  per six month period. If the mining lease is executed, the Company would pay
  100,000 shares of its common stock and a sliding scale net smelter return (NSR)
  royalty which increases with the gold price. The royalty is 3% up to a gold
  price of $400/oz and then increases to a maximum of 6% at higher gold prices,
  but the trigger prices for higher royalties will be adjusted for inflation using
  the Consumer Price Index. Also, the Company would issue 50,000 shares of its
  common stock for each 10,000 ounces of gold produced at the Golden Chest. On
  February 24, 2004, Paymaster Resources notified the Company that it had assigned
  its interest in the Exploration Agreement and Option to Lease and Mining Lease
  and Agreement to Metaline Contact Mines of Murray, Idaho. The lease is attached
  as an exhibit to this 10-KSB filing.

On November 7, 2003, the Company signed and exploration agreement
  and option to lease with Prichard Creek Resource Partners , LLC which covers
  about 100 acres of unpatented lode claims. The lease agreement is attached as
  an exhibit to this 10-KSB filing.

History

The 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. Newmont Exploration Limited (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 11,133 feet
  of drilling. Newmonts work identified a potential open pit with an inferred
  geologic resource, not reserves, of 230,000 ounces of gold. Newmont dropped
  the property in 1990, apparently because it did not meet their criterion of
  a 1 million ounce open-pit resource.

Present Condition / Exploration Plans

The Company plans to drive a ramp to investigate a high grade
  drill-intercept thought to be the offset of the Katie Dora vein. If ore is encountered
  in the decline, it could be shipped to the New Jersey mill for processing. Interestingly,
  the deepest hole drilled on the property is only 140 meters vertically. The
  Company has evidence that more veins may be encountered at depth at the Golden
  Chest and a drilling program to explore this deep potential is being planned
  for 2004.

Geology

The Golden Chest veins are flatly-dipping, banded quartz veins
  ranging in thickness from centimeters to 3 meters and are generally conformable
  with bedding of Prichard formation argillite. Sulfide minerals including pyrite,
  arsenopyrite and galena occur with free gold in the quartz veins. Veins are
  stacked, in certain areas, to form bulk mineable bodies. Gold mineralization
  also occurs as disseminations in quartzite units of the Prichard formation.

CAMP PROJECT

Location

The CAMP project is an underground exploration project without
  known ore reserves. It is located south of the City of Osburn, Idaho, in the
  approximate center of the silver belt of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District.
  The CAMP is accessed by the Mineral Point mine road otherwise known as the McFarren
  Gulch road. The CAMP project covers approximately 380 acres. The Company controls
  17.75% of the land in the CAMP. Merger Mines and Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp. (CDE:NYSE)
  control the remainder. Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp. is the operator of the property.
  The CAMP area extends from the surface to 900 feet below sea level.

Mineral Lease

As part of a July 26, 1978 lease agreement with Coeur d'Alene
  Mines Corp. (Coeur), the Company will receive a 7.1% Net Profits Interest (NPI),if
  the property is put into production. However, according to the agreement, Coeur
  can retain 93.925% of the net profits until Coeur is reimbursed in total for
  its advance payments and expenditures. The term of the lease is 61 years. The
  Agreement also calls for Coeur to spend $50,000 annually on exploration. However,
  a December 18, 1992 Amendment to the Agreement allowed Coeur to fulfill the
  exploration work requirement until 2006 by applying past work in the amount
  of $1,436,243 towards the exploration work requirement.

History

Originally the CAMP project was leased to ASARCO during the
  period from 1969 through 1972. ASARCO developed an exploration drift on the
  1400 level of the Coeur d'Alene mine (aka Mineral Point mine), before terminating
  the drift 1000 feet short of its planned termination. The drift extended 1,000
  feet into the CAMP project area before terminating. A series of diamond drill
  holes were planned along the 1400 level drift, but ASARCO terminated the lease
  agreement before any drilling could take place.

In 1978, Coeur signed a new lease agreement with Merger Mines
  and Plainview Mining Co. Plainview Mining Co. was acquired by the Company in
  February 1998. Coeur began an exploration program soon thereafter consisting
  of geochemical soil sampling, trenching, an exploration tunnel and diamond drilling
  (surface & underground). The exploration program continued through 1982.
  Coeur spent a total of $1,436,243 on the project. The property has not received
  any more exploration activity since 1982 and to the best of our knowledge, Coeur
  dAlene Mines has no plans for exploration.

Geology

The CAMP area lies astride the Silver Belt of the Coeur d'Alene
  Mining District east of the Sunshine mine and west of the Coeur and Galena mines.
  The north limb of the Big Creek anticline trends through the CAMP area. Most
  of the silver orebodies in adjacent properties are located in the north limb
  of the Big Creek anticline. Prospective fault structures that trend through
  the CAMP property include the Polaris fault, Silver Summit vein-fault, Chester
  fault, and other structures. Favorable rock types are located in the footwall
  of the Polaris fault including the St. Regis and Revett formation.

LOST EAGLE PROJECT

Summary

The Lost Eagle is an exploration project without known ore
  reserves. It is located in the West Fork of Eagle Creek near Murray, Idaho.
  The outcrop of the Lost Eagle vein is located on the hillside above a USFS road.
  Access to the outcrop is by foot only. The Company's five lode claims cover
  103 acres and are on federal land administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The
  project is a gold and silver exploration project. The Lost Eagle vein is a quartz
  vein carrying sulfides that outcrops in the Revett formation. The sulfide minerals
  found in the vein are galena, pyrite, hessite and petzite. Hessite is a silver
  telluride mineral and petzite is a gold-silver telluride mineral. The presence
  of tellurides is thought to be significant as tellurides are usually associated
  with high-grade gold deposits near alkaline-igneous bodies. However, no known
  igneous bodies are mapped in the area. Historical workings included two short
  adits, say 5 meters long, located along the strike of a quartz vein system.
  An upper adit established by the old-timers exposes the vein where it is mineralized.
  Work completed by the Company includes re-opening of the adit, channel sampling
  the vein, geochemical soil sampling, and a geophysical survey.

In 2003, the Company completed two diamond drillholes each
  about 185 meters in length. Both holes intercepted abundant alteration including
  carbonate enrichment, potassic alteration, and a halo of specular hematite and
  pyrite with occasional galena. Gold and silver values were only weakly anomalous.
  Exploration plans call for additional diamond drilling but the holes will be
  collared closer to the outcrop by using a helicopter to place the drill.

WISCONSIN-TEDDY PROJECT

Summary

The 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. The Company's claims cover 83 acres. The claims are
  unpatented and are on federal land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
  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 includes 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.

ROUGHWATER PROJECT

Roughwater is an exploration project without known ore reserves.
  The Roughwater prospect is comprised of nine unpatented claims in the Clark
  Fork mining district about 60 miles north of Kellogg. The property is located
  near Bear Creek in the Lightening Creek drainage. To date, the work completed
  on the property includes sampling of surface outcrops and preliminary metallurgical
  testwork. The property is a copper-gold showing with minor platinum group metal
  content. The host rock is a quartz diorite sill which has intruded the Prichard
  formation. A wide area of disseminated copper mineralization has been observed
  which may be a cumulate layer in the sill. No work was completed on the property
  in 2003.

ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation:

The Company is executing its plan to continue exploration
  for gold, silver and base metal deposits in the greater Coeur dAlene Mining
  District of northern Idaho. One of the properties, the Silver Strand, owned
  by the Company is in the advanced permitting stage with the U.S. Forest Service
  (USFS) and will be readied for production once operating permits are received.
  Currently, the permitting schedule for the Silver Strand should allow pre-production
  work to commence in June or July, but interest groups that oppose all enterprises
  on public lands may attempt to delay the granting of permits by the USFS.

The Company is upgrading its mineral processing plant, the
  New Jersey mill, to add the flotation process which is needed to produce marketable
  concentrates for smelters. Included in the upgrade are eight new flotation cells,
  pumps, a filter press, a concentrate bin, and various fabricated assemblies.
  A coarse-ore bin is also planned so that ore can be received at the New Jersey
  mill from outlying properties. Other improvements are being made to improve
  the process control of the plant. A special mine car is being built to transport
  ore in narrow, trackless mine openings.

An exploration ramp at the Golden Chest is planned to expose
  an ore grade intercept drilled by Newmont Exploration Limited (NEL). If the
  mineralization exposed by the ramp is of sufficient size and grade, as indicated
  by the drilling, production may commence from development excavations which
  will be driven on the vein.

An exploration drilling program is also planned for 2004.
  Drilling will commence at the New Jersey mine area at the Enterprise and Scotch
  Thistle prospects. Drilling will also be done at the Golden Chest property to
  test for the presence of deep gold mineralization. Drilling at the Lost Eagle
  prospect is also planned. A surface geophysical program is planned at the Silver
  Strand mine to test for a potential westward extension of the mineral zone.
  Reconnaissance geological studies are planned in the greater Coeur dAlene
  Mining District. Work will proceed to conduct a pre-feasibility study at the
  Golden Chest where previous drilling by NEL indicates a potential open-pittable
  resource of 230,000 ounces of gold.

The Company has sufficient funding to execute the above projects
  in 2004, as well as fund necessary management tasks such as auditing/accounting
  and SEC reporting. Should additional funding become available in 2004, such
  as by the exercising of outstanding warrants, the Company may expand its exploration
  plans.

It is likely that some production will be achieved in the
  next twelve months, which could generate additional cash flow. Production may
  be achieved from the New Jersey open pit mine or from the Silver Strand mine
  or Golden Chest project.

The Company currently has three employees and uses consultants
  or contractors for project tasks. Up to four additional employees may be hired
  if production commences.

        metal mining resources in Idaho.
      On December 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the
        assets and liabilities of a partnership known as New Jersey Joint Venture
        (NJJV), including the New Jersey gold mine and mill located
        near Kellogg, Idaho, in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
        NJJV was owned by various other individuals and mining companies including
        Mine Systems Design, Inc. ("MSD"), an Idaho corporation owned by Fred
        Brackebusch and his son, Grant Brackebusch, officers and directors of

|2. | Restated Financial Statements
      Change in Accounting Policy
      During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company changed
        its accounting policy, retroactive to January 1, 2002, with respect to
        its accounting for exploration costs. The Company now records exploration
        costs as operating expenses in the period that they occur, and only capitalizes
        exploration costs on areas of interest that have proven reserves and are
        in development for production. The Company's previous policy was to capitalize
        all such expenditures as deferred development costs of the properties
        being explored. The change was made in order for the Companys accounting
        practices to be consistent with prevailing mining industry accounting
        trends and securities regulations.

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

|2. | Restated Financial Statements, Continued:
      Correction of Accounting Error
      During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company
        incorrectly accounted for offering costs (commissions) paid in connection
        with a private placement of its common stock (see Note 8). The amount
        of the commission, $25,500, was charged to operations instead of being
        accounted for in stockholders' equity as a reduction of the proceeds received
        from stock sales. Accordingly, a correction has been made to adjust the
        December 31, 2002 financial statements for this amount.
      The effect on the December 31, 2002 financial statements
        for the change in accounting policy and for the correction of the accounting
        error is as follows:

|3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      Development Stage Enterprise
      The Company's financial statements are prepared using
        the accrual method of accounting and according to the provisions of Statement
        of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting for Development
        Stage Enterprises, 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 commercial production, the Company will
        continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in
        accordance with entities in the development stage.
      Use of Estimates
      The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
        with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
        America 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.

|3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
      Income Taxes
      Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Statement
        of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
        whereby 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 actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on
        deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of
        these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
      Fair Values of Financial Instruments
      The carrying amounts of financial instruments including
        cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximated their fair
        values as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.
      Net Loss Per Share
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
        Earnings per Share, requires dual presentation of basic earnings
        per share (EPS) and diluted EPS on the face of all income
        statements, for all entities with complex capital structures.
      Cash Equivalents
      Highly liquid short-term investments with a remaining
        maturity when purchased of three months or less are classified as cash
        equivalents. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents in high
        quality financial institutions. The balances on deposits may at times
        exceed the federal insurance limit. Management believes that risk with
        respect to these balances in minimal due to the high credit quality of
        the depositories.
      Investments
      Marketable equity securities are categorized as available-for-sale
        and carried at quoted market value. Investments in securities of privately
        held entities are quoted at their estimated fair value. 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 or loss, net of related deferred income taxes,
        if applicable, unless a permanent impairment in value has occurred, which
        is then charged to operations. During 2003, the Company wrote-off its
        investment of $3,000 in a marketable equity security that had become permanently
        impaired.
      Comprehensive Income (Loss)
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
        "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires the disclosure of comprehensive
        income, which includes net income (loss), and unrealized gains and losses
        on marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale.

|3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
      Building and Equipment
      Building and equipment are stated at the lower of cost
        or estimated net realizable value. Depreciation and amortization is based
        on the estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed using straight-line
        and unit-of-production methods. 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 Properties
      Significant 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 Development and Exploration
      Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred
        (see Note 2).
      Mine development costs are capitalized after proven
        and probable reserves have been identified and classified as deferred
        development costs until production ensues. Amortization is calculated
        using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation
        based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces.
      Property Evaluations
      The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement
        of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, (SFAS No. 144),
        Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
        The provisions of SFAS No. 144 require that an impairment loss be 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. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the
        estimated fair value of the asset if the asset is expected to be held
        and used.
      Annually, 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, sales prices,
        operating capital and costs, and reclamations costs that will be in effect
        when the properties are in production. If it is determined that future
        cash flows from a mineral property are less than the carrying value, a
        write-down to the estimated fair value is made with a charge to operations.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
      Property Evaluations, Continued:
      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 investment in mineral properties.
      Goodwill
      Acquisitions of entities are accounted for using the
        purchase method whereby acquired assets and liabilities are recorded at
        fair value as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price
        over such fair value is recorded as goodwill. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142
        Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is assigned
        to assets acquired and is not amortized. Goodwill is subject to determination
        of fair value at least annually and at such times as events or circumstances
        indicate that an impairment has occurred.
      Reclamation and Remediation
      The Companys mineral properties have been and
        are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have been established
        by various governmental agencies. Environmental costs relating to properties
        put into production are estimated based primarily upon environmental and
        regulatory requirements, and are accrued and charged to expense over the
        expected economic life of the operation using the units-of-production
        method. The liability for reclamation is classified as current or long-term
        based on the expected timing of the expenditures.
      The Company accrues costs associated with environmental
        remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred
        and they are reasonably estimable. Such costs are based on managements
        estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work
        is performed and are measured on an undiscounted basis.
      Reclassifications
      Certain comparative balances for 2002 have been reclassified
        to conform with the 2003 presentation. The reclassifications have no effect
        on net loss or accumulated deficit as previously reported.

      New Accounting Pronouncements
      In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission
        of SFAS Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical
        Corrections." This statement culminates the current requirements that
        gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary
        items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be
        classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual
        and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary
        classifications. In addition, SFAS No. 145 eliminates an inconsistency
        in lease accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases
        that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent
        with sales-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other
        nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The
        rescission of SFAS No. 4 is effective in fiscal years beginning after
        May 15, 2002. The amendment and technical corrections of SFAS No. 13 are
        effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions
        of SFAS No. 145 are effective for financial statements issued on or after
        May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 has no impact on the Company's financial statements.
      In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting
        for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses
        accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes
        previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
        No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated
        with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is
        incurred. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially
        be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly SFAS No. 146 may affect
        the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount
        recognized. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal
        activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 has
        no impact on the Company's financial statements.
      In August 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions
        of Certain Financial Institutions. SFAS No. 147 removes acquisitions
        of financial institutions from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and FASB Interpretation
        No. 9, and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance
        with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. In addition, SFAS No. 147 amends SFAS
        No. 144, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible
        assets of financial institutions. The provisions of SFAS No. 147 are generally
        effective October 1, 2002. SFAS No. 147 has no impact of the Company's
        financial statements.

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

|3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
      New Accounting Pronouncements, Continued:
      In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation
        No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting for Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
        Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation
        of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation
        No. 34, Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN
        45"). FIN 45 clarifies the requirements for a guarantor's accounting for
        and disclosure of certain guarantees issued and outstanding. It also requires
        a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability
        for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.
        This interpretation also incorporates without reconsideration the guidance
        in FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded. The adoption
        of FIN 45 has no material effect on the Company's financial statements.
      In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
        reached a consensus on EITF 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
        Deliverables," related to the timing of revenue recognition for arrangements
        in which goods or services or both are delivered separately in a bundled
        sales arrangement. The EITF requires that when the deliverables included
        in this type of arrangement meet certain criteria they should be accounted
        for separately as separate units of accounting. This consensus is effective
        prospectively for arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning
        after June 15, 2003. EITF 00-21 will not have an impact upon initial adoption
        and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results
        of operations, financial position and cash flows.
      In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting
        for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure, an amendment
        of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods
        of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value
        based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also
        amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent
        disclosure about the effects of reported net income of an entity's accounting
        policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally,
        this Statement amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting,
        to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information.
        The amendments to SFAS No. 123, which provides alternative methods of
        transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based
        method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation is effective
        for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.
        The amendment to SFAS No. 123 relating to disclosures and the amendment
        to Opinion 28 is effective for financial reports containing condensed
        financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15,
        2002. Management does not intend to adopt the fair value accounting provisions
        of SFAS No. 123 and currently believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 148
        will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

|3. | Summary of Significant Accounting
        Policies, Continued:
      New Accounting Pronouncements, Continued:
      In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment
        of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
        standard amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments,
        including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
        and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
        Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement is effective prospectively
        for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging
        relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 will not have
        an impact upon initial adoption and is not expected to have a material
        effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and
        cash flows.
      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting
        for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities
        and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for the classification
        and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics
        of both liabilities and equity. The requirements of SFAS No. 150 become
        effective for the Company for financial instruments entered into or modified
        after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the
        first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has evaluated
        the impact of SFAS No. 150 to determine the effect it may have on its
        results of operations, financial position or cash flows and has concluded
        that the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material
        effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

|4. | Acquisitions and Mergers
      Plainview Mining Company
      In October 1997, the Company made an exchange offer
        for the outstanding common shares of Plainview Mining Company, Inc. (Plainview).
        The offer allowed Plainviews stockholders to exchange each one of
        their shares of Plainview stock for two shares of the Companys stock.
        At the time of the exchange Plainview was a minority shareholder of the
        Company holding 1,947,144 shares of the Company's common stock. Fred Brackebusch,
        president and a director of the Company, was also a director of Plainview
        at the time of the acquisition. In addition, the president of Plainview
        at the time of the acquisition, Charles F. Asher, is currently a director
        of the Company.

|4. | Acquisitions and Mergers, Continued:
      Plainview Mining Company, Continued:
      As a result of the exchange offer, a merger with Plainview
        was consummated through the exchange of 1,500,000 shares of Plainview
        (100%), for 3,000,000 shares of the Companys stock. The Company
        accounted for the business combination using the purchase method prescribed
        in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations,
        whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value
        at the date of acquisition. Allocation of the purchase price was based
        on an estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired at the purchase
        date. The estimated fair value of the Companys shares issued in
        the exchange was determined to be $0.10 per share, or $300,000. The purchase
        price was allocated as follows:
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Total purchase price                    | $ | 300,000 | 

| | The shares of the Companys stock owned by Plainview
        were recorded as treasury stock (see Note 8).
      During the third quarter of 2003, the Company's management
        determined that goodwill recorded as part of the Plainview merger was
        impaired in accordance with the tests of goodwill impairment set forth
        in SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." As a result, all
        of the goodwill acquired in the Plainview merger was written off.
      Gold Run Gulch Mining Company
      During 2002, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
        shares of the Gold Run Gulch Mining Company (Gold Run). The
        acquisition allowed Gold Runs stockholders to exchange each one
        of their shares of Gold Run stock for 0.875 shares of the Companys
        stock. A total of 1,916,250 of the Companys shares were issued in
        exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Gold Run. The Company accounted
        for the business combination using the purchase method prescribed in SFAS
        141, Business Combinations, which became effective for business
        combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Similar to APB 16, this statement
        requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed
        be recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The shares
        issued were valued at $273,954 based upon an estimate of fair value of
        the assets received. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        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 (see Note 4). Deferred
        development costs at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consist primarily of drilling
        and tunnel development expenditures.
      Silver StrandThe 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. The
        Company valued the property at $74,704 which represented the estimated
        market value of the property at the date of acquisition. Deferred development
        costs at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consist primarily of drilling and
        permitting expenditures.

        Costs, 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
        Consumer Price Index. At December 31, 2003, the gold price that would
        cause additional production royalties to be payable was $612 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 lessors may terminate the
        lease upon the Company's failure to perform under the terms of the lease;
        the Company has the right to terminate the lease at any time.
      Golden Chest Exploration Leases
      On September 5, 2003, the Company entered into an exploration
        agreement and lease option with Paymaster Resources, Inc. (Paymaster)
        to explore Paymasters Golden Chest property. The term of the exploration
        agreement is 21⁄2 years, commencing June 13, 2003. Pursuant to the
        terms of the agreement, the Company will conduct an economic study of
        the Golden Chest property. As consideration for the agreement, the Company
        will issue Paymaster 10,000 shares of its common stock during every six-month
        period of the agreement's term. A total of 20,000 shares were issued under
        the agreement during 2003. The Company recorded $8,000 of exploration
        expense in connection with these issuances based upon its estimate of
        the fair value of the shares of common stock issued. The Company's option
        to lease the property may be exercised anytime before the expiration of
        the exploration agreement, at an option price of 100,000 shares of the
        Companys common stock.
      On November 7, 2003, the Company signed an exploration
        agreement and lease option with Prichard Creek Resource Partners LLC (Prichard)
        to explore Prichards property, which is adjacent to the Golden Chest.
        The term of the exploration agreement is 21⁄2 years commencing June
        13, 2003. The Company's option to lease the property may be exercised
        anytime before expiration of the exploration agreement, at an option price
        of 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock.

|7. | Income Taxes
      The Company has not recorded an income tax provision
        for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as it had no taxable income.
        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
        available for income tax purposes of approximately $525,000 and $177,000,
        respectively, which will expire through 2023, and an associated deferred
        tax asset of approximately $218,500 and $26,500, respectively. The deferred

        Company had one class of no par value common stock with 20,000,000 shares
        authorized. Effective September 25, 2003, the Company amended its articles
        of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares to 50,000,000.
        In addition, the Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of no par preferred
        stock, none of which had been issued at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

      In May 2002, the Company completed a brokered private
        placement pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of
        1933, as amended (Rule 506). A total of 1,700,000 units at

        additional 932,500 units that generated additional proceeds of approximately
        $372,000.

        by warrant holders that had purchased units of common stock and common
        stock purchase warrants during the Company's 2002 private placement offering.

        price of $0.25 per share, generating net proceeds of $200,750, pursuant
        to the exercise of these warrants.

      During 2003, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its
        restricted common stock to vendors for equipment purchased. The Company
        recorded the issue at $3,000 based upon the value of the equipment purchased

        restricted common stock to vendors for services rendered the Company.

|9.  | Related Party Transactions,
        Continued:
      In addition to the related party transactions described in notes 1,
        4 and 6, the Company had the following transactions with related parties:
      During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
            the Company issued 18,000 and 15,000 shares, respectively, of its
            restricted common stock to members of the Board of Directors for their
            services as directors. These stock awards were recorded as directors'
            fees of $7,200 and $2,250, respectively, based upon the estimated
            value of the shares issued and services rendered.
        During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company
            issued 179,133 shares of its restricted common stock valued at $67,501
            to Fred Brackebusch, and 184,067 shares of its restricted common stock
            valued at $69,625 to Grant Brackebusch for management services.
        At December 31, 2003, the Company has accrued
            non current liabilities due to Fred and Grant Brackebusch of $6,863
            and $4,656, respectively, for management services rendered. These
            amounts are anticipated to be paid in shares of the Company's stock
            during the first quarter of 2004.
        During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002,
            the Company paid MSD $20,000 and $9,688, respectively, for engineering
            services. At December 31, 2003, the Company had an account payable
            due MSD of $2,000.                                                                                         
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|10. | Environmental Matters
      During 2003, the Company accrued $12,500 relating to
        a reclamation liability at the New Jersey Mine site based on management's
        estimate of the disturbed area existing at the property and the related
        costs to reclaim the area. It is likely that in the near-term the Company
        will become responsible for additional reclamation liabilities as it continues
        in the development of its properties and eventually begins commercial
        production.
      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 Environmental Protection Agency 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 damages it may be responsible for. As of December
        31, 2003, the Company has not accrued any amounts for potential liability
        associated with unasserted environmental claims or assessments as the
        amounts, if any, are not estimable. It is possible, however, that the

41

---

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.

ITEM 8.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On December 10, 2003, the Company filed an 8-K report concerning
  a Change in Certifying Accountant. An amended 8-K/A concerning the same topic
  was filed on February 2, 2004.

ITEM 8A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Registrant's President and Principal Accounting Officer
  have evaluated the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures within 90
  days of the filing date of this annual report. Based upon this evaluation, the
  Registrant's President and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that the Registrant's
  disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information
  required to be disclosed is included in the reports that it files with the Securities
  and Exchange Commission.

There were no significant changes in the Registrant's internal
  controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Registrant, in other
  factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation
  date.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

  by the Companys principal accountant for the audit of the Companys
  annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and
  2002 and the review for the financial statements included in the Companys
  quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB during those fiscal years were $14,500 and
  $2,080 respectively.

Audit Related Fees

The Company incurred no fees during the last two fiscal years
  for assurance and related services by the Companys principal accountant
  that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the
  Companys financial statements, and not reported under Audit Fees
  above.

Tax Fees

The Company incurred no fees during the last two fiscal years
  for professional services rendered by the Companys principal accountant
  for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All Other Fees

  years for products and services rendered by the Companys principal accountant.
