PART I

ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

Mines Management, Inc.  (together with its subsidiaries, MMI or the Company), is engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties, primarily those containing silver and associated base and precious metals. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on February 20, 1947.  The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Newhi, Inc.  Newhi, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on November 3, 1987.  The Companys executive offices are located at 905 W Riverside, Suite 311, Spokane, WA 99201.

With the exception of historical matters, the information 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.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, metals price volatility.  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. (See:  Risk Factors).

The Companys properties, including the Montanore property, are currently in the exploration stage.  The Company has commenced re-permitting of the Montanore property and determining its feasibility for development. No property is currently in production.

The Companys principal mineral property interest is held by its wholly owned subsidiary, Newhi, Inc., and is referred to as the Montanore Project.  The Montanore Project is located in northwestern Montana, USA, and between 1988 and 2002 was operated by Noranda Minerals Corporation (Noranda).  During that time the project received an approved Environmental Impact Statement and all of its primary environmental permits.  From 1988 to 2002 the Company held royalty rights to a portion of the deposit.  In 2002 Noranda announced that it was abandoning the project, and subsequently gave the Company quitclaim deeds to patented and unpatented mining claims that control the mineral rights, and all core and intellectual property generated during its 14 years of geologic, environmental and engineering studies.

The Companys principal focus for 2005 is to update Montanore environmental and engineering studies aimed at determining an economically viable operational design, and re-establish previously issued environmental and mining permits to Montanore.  Substantially all of the Companys financial support in the foreseeable future is expected to be derived from equity financing through sales of its shares.  The Company also has a small royalty income from a working interest royalty, acquired more than 40 years ago, for several producing oil wells located in Kansas, USA.

The Company continues to hold its Iroquois and Advance zinc-lead properties in Washington on a care and maintenance basis.

Competition

There is aggressive competition within the minerals industry to discover and acquire properties considered to have commercial potential.  The Company competes for the opportunity to participate in promising exploration projects with other entities, many of which have greater resources than the Company.  In addition, the Company competes with others in efforts to obtain financing to explore and develop mineral properties.

Employees

During the year ending December 31, 2004, the Company had five full-time employees located in Spokane, Washington. The Companys employees are not subject to a union labor contract or collective bargaining agreement. Outside consultants are engaged to perform project and permitting tasks, that will be used in re-permitting of the Montanore Mine.  The Company will continue to use outside services in the immediate future.

Regulation

The Companys activities in the United States are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing exploration, labor standards, occupational health and mine safety, control of toxic substances, and other matters involving environmental protection and taxation.  In addition, it is possible that future changes in these laws or regulations could have a significant impact on the Companys business, causing those activities to be economically reevaluated at that time.

Risk Factors

The following risk factors, together with other information set forth in this Form 10-KSB, should be carefully considered by current and future investors in the Companys securities.

We have no recent history of production.

We have no recent history of producing silver or other metals.  The development of our Montanore Project will require the construction and operation of mines, processing plants, and related infrastructure.  As a result, we are subject to all of the risks associated with establishing a new mining operation and business enterprise.  There can be no assurance that we will successfully establish mining operations or profitability.

We have no proven or probable reserves.

We have no proven or probable reserves on any of our properties.  We are currently focused on our Montanore Project.  Substantial additional work, including delineation drilling, will be required in order to determine if any proven or probable reserves exist on our Montanore Project.  In the event commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, the Montanore Project might not be brought into commercial production.  The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is also dependent on a number of factors beyond our control, including particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices.

The exploration of mineral properties is highly speculative in nature, involves substantial expenditures and is frequently non-productive.

Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature and is frequently non-productive. Substantial expenditures are required to:

·

establish ore reserves through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques;

·

determine metal content and metallurgical recovery processes to extract metal from the ore; and

·

construct, renovate or expand mining and processing facilities.



If we discover ore, it usually takes several years from the initial phases of exploration until production is possible. During this time, the economic feasibility of production may change. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will successfully acquire additional mineral rights, or that our exploration programs will result in new proven and probable reserves in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations in any of our properties.

---



The Companys future success is subject to risks inherent in the mining industry.

The future mining operations, if any, of the Company will be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to developing and operating mining properties.  These risks include insufficient ore reserves, fluctuations in metal prices and in production costs that may make mining of reserves uneconomic; significant environmental and other regulatory restrictions; labor disputes; geological problems; failure of underground stopes or dams; force majeure events; and the risk of injury to persons, property or the environment.

Our future profitability will be affected by changes in the prices of metals.

If we establish reserves and complete a favorable feasibility study, our profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, on the market price of silver, copper and other metals. The market prices for these metals are volatile and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

·

global or regional consumption patterns;

·

supply of, and demand for, silver, copper and other metals;

·

speculative activities;

·

expectations for inflation; and

·

political and economic conditions.



The aggregate effect of these factors on metals prices is impossible for us to predict. Decreases in metals prices have delayed, and could in the future adversely affect our ability to finance, the exploration and development of our properties, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that metals prices will not decline.  During the five-year period ended December 31, 2004, the high and low settlement prices for silver and copper were $8.29 and $3.34 per ounce and $1.54 and $0.60 per ounce, respectively.

The Company may not be able to obtain permits required for development of the Montanore Project.

In the ordinary course of business, mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for expansion of existing operations or for the commencement of new operations. The Company will be required to reactivate numerous permits for its Montanore Project. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions and often involving public hearings and costly undertakings. Obtaining required permits for Montanore Project may be more difficult due to its location within the Cabinet Wilderness Area.  The duration and success of the Companys efforts to re-permit are contingent upon many variables not within its control. Obtaining environmental protection permits, including the approval of reclamation plans, may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority.  There can be no assurance that all necessary permits will be obtained and, if obtained, that the costs involved will not exceed those that had been previously estimated.  It is possible that the costs and delays associated with the compliance with such standards and regulations could become such that the Company would not proceed with the development or operation of a mine or mines.

Changes in mining and environmental laws could increase costs and impair the Companys ability to develop its properties.

From time to time the U.S. Congress may consider revisions in its mining and environmental laws. It remains unclear to what extent any such new legislation may affect existing mining claims or operations.  The effect of any such revisions on the Companys operations cannot be determined conclusively until such revision is enacted; however, such legislation could materially increase costs on properties located on federal lands, and such revision could also impair the Companys ability to develop its mineral projects.

---



The Company is subject to environmental risks.

Mining is subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production.  Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price.  To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.

The title to some of our properties may be uncertain or defective.

Although the Montanore deposit is held by patented mining claims, a significant portion of the Companys holdings consist of unpatented lode and mill site claims.  The validity of unpatented mining claims is often uncertain, and such validity is always subject to contest.  Unpatented mining claims are unique property interests and are generally considered subject to greater title risk than patented mining claims, or real property interests that are owned in fee simple.  The Company has not filed a patent application for any of unpatented claims that are located on federal public lands in the United States and, under possible future legislation to change the General Mining Law, patents may be hard to obtain.  Although the Company has attempted to acquire satisfactory title to its undeveloped properties, the Company does not generally obtain title opinions until financing is sought to develop a property, with the attendant risk that title to some properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, may be defective.

In recent years, the U.S. Congress has considered a number of proposed amendments to the General Mining Law.  Although no such legislation has been adopted to date, there can be no assurance that such legislation will not be adopted in the future.  If ever adopted, such legislation could, among other things, impose royalties on metal production from unpatented mining claims located on federal lands or impose fees on production from patented mining claims.  If such legislation is ever adopted, it could have an adverse impact on earnings from our operation, could reduce estimates of our reserves and could curtail our future exploration and development activity on federal lands or patented claims.

While we have no reason to believe that the existence and extent of any or our properties are in doubt, title to mining properties are subject to potential claims by third parties claiming an interest in them.

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The significant properties in which the Company has an interest are described below.  Reference is made to footnotes in the financial statements for more information on the properties.  For its assessment of the Montanore Project the Company relies on the considerable body of technical, environmental, and legal data generated by Noranda Minerals, who owned and operated the Montanore Project from 1988 through 2002.

Montanore Property

The Montanore Project is located in Sanders and Lincoln Counties, in northwestern Montana.  The Montanore property is without known reserves.  Landholdings include a number of federal patented and unpatented lode mining claims and mill sites, which cover approximately 1700 acres.  The unpatented lode claims and mill sites are owned outright by the Company and are held subject to a $125 per claim annual payment to the Federal Government.  The Montanore Project deposit can be reached from Noxon, the nearest town, by taking State Highway 200 about 2 miles to the east and thence north about 5 miles on a secondary graveled road to the junction of the west and east forks of Rock Creek.  From this point it is about a 4-mile hike up a Jeep trail behind a locked U.S. Forest Service gate to the deposit outcrop.  The deposit outcrops near the border of, and lies entirely within the Cabinet Wilderness Area.  Because any future mining of the deposit would



5





---



take place underground and the Company has access to the deposit from outside the Cabinet Wilderness Area, our patented mining claims and certain other mineral rights predate the wilderness area designation, we do not believe that any future mining or associated surface activity would impact the wilderness area. The Companys holdings for operational access and infrastructure support for the project are located to the east, south of the town of Libby, and are accessed from that major supply point by about 16 miles of secondary road up Libby Creek. There is no plant, equipment or subsurface improvements or equipment other than a 14,000-foot adit, which was plugged graded by Noranda and is currently in reclamation.  The Company expects to obtain power by extending a Montana Power line from Noxan, Montana, located approximately 18 miles from the Montanore property.  The Company owns water rights associated with the Montanore property which it believes will be sufficient for possible mining activities.



The deposit occurs within Revett Formation quartzite of the Belt Super Group, Precambrian metasediments that crop out over much of western Montana, northern Idaho, and parts of adjacent British Columbia.

The Montanore deposit has been defined as being at least 12,500 feet long and varies between 500 and 4,000 feet in width.  The long axis of the deposit trends in a northwesterly direction parallel with a regional fault that bounds the mineralization on the southwest.  The deposit dips approximately 12 degrees to the northwest, parallel with its long axis.  Mineralization occurs within two mineralized beds over much of the deposits length.  Overall the upper zone averages 29.9 feet in thickness and the lower zone 34.8 feet.  Unmineralized strata between beds varies between 20 and 200 feet thick.  The deposit remains open to the northwest within the Companys extra-lateral rights.

The Companys ownership of the Montanore deposit stems primarily from its ownership of 2 patented mining claims, identified as HR 133 and HR 134, which cover the surface outcrop or apex of the gently dipping mineralized beds.  According to US mining law, claims covering the apex of a dipping, tabular deposit own the minerals to depth, even if the deposit passes from beneath the apex claim.  For the Companys claims at Montanore these extralateral rights have been confirmed by the US Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior and upheld in US District Court.  In addition to the patented apex claims, the Company owns unpatented claims located along the fault which bounds the southwestern margin of the deposit, and which extend outside of the western border of the Cabinet Wilderness Area.

In 1988, Newhi, Inc. (Newhi), a Washington corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MMI acquired the assets of Heidelberg Silver Mining Co., Inc. through a corporate merger.  The assets acquired by Newhi consisted primarily of 34 unpatented mining claims located along the fault that borders the Montanore deposit, and a 4 acre patented mill site.  In 1993 the Company determined that 18 of the mining claims were immaterial to the maintenance of its interest in the Montanore project and these claims were dropped.  Of the remaining 16 claims owned by the Company, 11 claims were leased to Noranda who was responsible for their yearly upkeep.  Under terms of the lease agreement, the Company was paid an annual payment of $25,000, and was to receive a percentage of the net profits for material taken from beneath its claims.

In 1983, U.S. Borax and Chemical Corporation discovered a major silver/copper deposit, later to be named the Montanore deposit, which extended in part beneath what is now the Companys property.  In 1984 a lease agreement, relative to 11 claims, was entered into between U.S. Borax and the Companys predecessor, Heidelberg.  Subsequently U.S. Borax conducted more than 70,000 feet of core drilling from the surface, which outlined the bedded silver/copper mineralization.

In 1988, U.S. Borax and partners sold their interest in the project to a Joint Venture made up of Noranda Minerals Corp. and Montana Reserves Co.  Noranda became the project operator, and the project name was changed to Montanore.  In 1993 the Joint Venture was dissolved with Noranda retaining rights to the project.

In late 1989, Noranda began a major tunneling program from a point east of the Cabinet Wilderness Area. The purpose of the program was to more accurately define and develop a portion of the deposit containing approximately 30 million tons.  The proposed work was to include a 3-mile long decline and approximately 2,000 feet of lateral development in the vicinity of the deposit.  Close spaced drilling was planned from these workings and bulk metallurgical samples were to be taken during this phase.  In December 1991, tunneling was stopped at approximately 14,000 feet, or about 2,000 feet short of the deposit, pending the completion of the projects Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).  Also during the year Noranda completed the process to acquire patents to the two apex claims controlling the deposit.

During 1993 the project Environmental EIS was approved and all of the important permits for the mine were granted.  As part of the EIS process, this approval was subject to appeal, and several appeals were made.  In 1994, after due consideration, the US Forest Service denied all appeals.

In 1991 an environmental group brought suit against Noranda and the US Forest Service concerning the validation of Norandas apex claims.  In 1993 the US Secretary of Agriculture found that Norandas mining claims were valid, and in 1997 the US District Court hearing the case also ruled that Norandas claims were valid.  The court decision was appealed and in March, 1999 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the U.S. District Court decision.  In 2001 the U.S. Government issued patents for the two claims covering the apex of the deposit and thus assuring Noranda ownership of the Montanore deposit.

In 2002, Noranda gave notice to the Company that it was abandoning its rights to the project.  Under terms of its agreement Noranda was bound to quitclaim any claims that overlapped the original Heidelberg claims to the Company.  As the newly patented apex claims were overlapping, Noranda deeded these key claims to Newhi in August 2002. The mineral rights acquired by the Company are subject to a $0.20 per ton royalty, and a 5% Net Profits royalty which would commence after the operator has recovered all of its exploration and development costs. In December 2002, Noranda gave the Company a quit claim deed to all geologic, environmental, and engineering data generated during their 14 year management of the project.  Over 70,000 feet of drill core were deeded to the Company in addition to the intellectual property.

The Company resubmitted its Plan of Operation and Hard Rock Mine Operating Permit Application for the Montanore project to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) at the end of December 2004.  The application represents the identical project on public land that each agency reviewed and approved for Noranda in 1993.

USFS and MDEQ are currently developing the necessary agreements and notifications required to initiate preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Montanore project.  It is anticipated that the public scoping meeting will be held in mid-2005 to gain input from the public on the proposed action.

The Montanore property is undergoing an extension optimization review and feasibility study in order to bring the mine plan up to date, and to determine the optimal rates of production.  We have spent an estimated $1.7 million on the Montanore property since acquiring it, primarily on the re-permitting process and a pre-feasibility study, and an additional $50,000 per year in property holding costs.  We estimate future expenditures of at least $2.5 million in 2005 in connection with the re-permitting and feasibility/optimization process.

Advance and Iroquois Properties

The Company owns the Advance and Iroquois zinc-lead exploration properties located in northeastern Washington State, approximately 6 miles south of the Canadian border.  The properties are situated 5 miles apart along a belt of Cambrian carbonate sediments that have acted as host rocks for several former mines.  Both properties are easily accessible on secondary graveled roads by two wheel drive vehicles.  A large zinc smelter and refinery is located at Trail, British Columbia, Canada, approximately 17 miles distant over excellent roads.

The Company was originally formed in 1947 to explore the Advance and Iroquois properties.  Since that time, Mines Management has leased its holdings to major companies including: Rare Metals, Inc. (El Paso Natural Gas) (1959-65), The Bunker Hill Company (1962-65), Cominco American, Inc. (1966-67 and 1974-75), Brinco, Ltd. (RTZ Group) (1977-78), and Equinox Resources Ltd.  (1989-91). Total expenditures on the properties to date are estimated to be at least $1,500,000.

The Advance and Iroquois properties are located along the Deep Lake Trend, a northeast-striking belt of Cambrian carbonate rocks collectively designated as the Metaline Limestone.  Rocks of the Deep Lake Trend have been strongly folded and faulted by numerous high-angle as well as thrust faults.  As a result the Metaline Limestone has a complex outcrop pattern, with steeply overturned bedding.

Zones of brecciation are found throughout the Metaline Limestone and are often, but not always, the location of zinc and lead sulfide mineralization.  These features are predominantly stratabound and have gradational, often irregular borders.  Individual breccia bodies are crudely lensoid in cross section and have third dimensions that attain considerable length.  The zones often occur in an enechelon, and sometimes interconnected, pattern.  A variety of evidence suggests that the breccia bodies are solution collapse features controlled by favorable stratigraphy or lithologic facies.

Mineralization consists of irregular bands, lenses, and fine disseminations of sphalerite and galena accompanied by varying amounts of pyrite.  The mineralization is considered to have been localized by permeable zones within and peripheral to breccia bodies created by solution collapse. The sulfide minerals are found in white dolomite that makes up the breccia matrix and fills other voids, and also as selective replacements of the host carbonate rocks.  Individual deposits have irregular gradational borders and are crudely lensoidal to oval in outline. Their elongated third dimension parallels the regional strike of the host rocks, and often plunge at low angles.  Cross sectional widths up to 80 feet and heights of as much as 150 feet have been noted in the more prominent zones.  Lengths of mineralization vary up to 650 feet.  The deposits have a tendency to occur together in an enechelon pattern over a stratigraphic interval of as much as 300 feet.  Such groupings of deposits may be more or less interconnected and have composite lengths of as much as 5000 feet.  Metal values generally decrease outward thus necessitating a border to be established by economic consideration.  Although individual sample values within a deposit may be as high as 20% zinc, average values for a deposit will usually range up to 7% zinc and 1% lead depending upon the assay border selected.

The Advance property consists of 720 acres of patented mineral rights, located approximately 5 miles east of the town of Northport.  The property is reached from Northport, the nearest town, by taking the paved Deep Lake road south for 4 miles to the graveled Black Canyon road and thence north for 3 miles. The Metaline Formation is the principal rock unit to crop out on the Advance property.  Exploration consisting of soil sampling, drilling, trenching, and tunneling has shown that several zones of low-grade, disseminated zinc mineralization occur on the property.  The Advance property is without known reserves, is considered to be of an exploratory nature, and is held by the Company on a maintenance basis.

The Iroquois property consists of 62 acres of patented mineral and surface rights, and  15 unpatented mining claims containing about  300 acres.  The property is reached from Northport, the nearest town, by taking the paved Deep Lake road south and east for 19 miles to the graveled road marked Iroquois Mine Road, and thence northeast for three miles.  The unpatented mining claims are held subject to a $100 per claim annual payment to the Federal government.  More than 25,000 feet of drilling and approximately 2,600 feet of



9





---



tunneling have shown low-grade mineralization to occur in multiple zones, extending for the entire 5,000 foot length of the property.  Most of the exploration has been concentrated in one area where a mineralized zone of disseminated zinc with associated lead values has been outlined over approximately 900 feet in length and within 300 feet of the surface.  The Iroquois property is without known reserves, is considered to be of an exploratory nature and is held by the Company on a maintenance basis.



Oil Interests

The Company receives income from a 10.16% working interest in 4 oil wells on the Clark lease in Sumner County, Kansas.  Although the lease has now produced for more than 40 years, independent consultants calculated the Companys 1981 share of the remaining reserves available through primary and secondary recovery to be at least 20,000 barrels.  Production since 1981 has totaled approximately 9600 barrels to the Companys account.  The Company does not engage in oil and gas exploration or production activities.

________________________

(1)  The Companys 2003 Stock Option Plan was amended at the 2004 Annual Meeting on June 17, 2004 to increase the total number of options that could be issued under  plan from 1,200,000 to 3,000,000.



Stock Option Plans

2003 Stock Option Plan

The 2003 Stock Option Plan is structured so that both incentive stock options qualified under the Internal Revenue Code and non qualified stock options may be issued.  The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  It is intended, that to the extent possible, the exercise of Stock Options will be exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Options under the plan can be exercisable for a maximum of ten (10) years.  Transferability is prohibited except for limited circumstances regarding the demise of an Option holder. The maximum number of shares available for issue upon the exercise under the plan was originally set at 1,200,000 shares. As noted above, this number was increased to 3,000,000 shares at the last Annual Meeting on June 17, 2004. The number of shares that can be issued pursuant to the plan is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change.

The option exercise price for Incentive Stock Options may be no less than the fair market value on the date of grant of the Option, except that the exercise price for any ten percent (10%) shareholder must be 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.  The option price for the Non-Qualified Stock Options is the lowest allowable price under applicable law.

Consultant Stock Compensation Plan

The Mines Management, Inc. 2003 Consultant Stock Compensation Plan is intended to promote the interests of the Company by offering those outside consultants or advisors of the Company who assist, or, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board, can assist in the development and success of the business of the Company, the opportunity to participate in a compensation plan designed to reward them for their services and to encourage and/or retain them to provide services to the Company.

Options are exercisable for a maximum of ten (10) years.  Transferability is prohibited except for limited circumstances regarding the demise of an Optionee. The maximum number of shares was increased at the last annual meeting to 700,000. The number of shares issuable pursuant to the plan is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

In February 2004, the Company completed an offering of 1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share.  Each purchaser in the offering received a common stock purchase warrant pursuant to which the purchaser has the right to acquire up to the number of shares of common stock equal to 25% of the shares to be issued to such purchaser. The stock purchase warrants are valid to purchase shares of the Companys common stock for a period of five years at a price of $7.25 per share.  Each purchaser has a right to purchaser up to 100% of any subsequent financing by the Company of its common stock or common stock equivalents for the 12 months following completion of the offering.  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares issued to the investors and the warrant share, if the warrants are exercised.  The registration was effective May 18, 2004.

The Shemano Group, Inc, received a finders fee in the amount of seven percent of the gross proceeds ($385,000) and 165,000 common stock purchase warrants. The warrant pricing, terms and registration rights are identical to those rights accorded purchasers in the offering. After payment of approximately $50,000 of legal fees in connection with the offering, net proceeds to the Company were approximately $5,065,000.  As additional consideration Shemano received a right of first refusal to act as the Companys investment banker in connection with any private placement or registered offering of any type for debt or equity of not less than $5 million for a period of one year.  The Company paid a finders fee in the amount of 24,750 common stock purchase warrants to Delimex, Inc. in conjunction with the offering.

The shares were offered and sold to institutional investors. None of the shares were offered by means of advertising or general solicitation. Each of the sales by the Company was made pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D.

The Company also completed on March 2, 2004 an additional offering of 185,000 Units at a price of $5.00 per Unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable for five years from the initial exercise date, to purchase up to 25% of the shares purchased at a price of $7.25 per share. The Company registered the shares of common stock and common stock underlying the common stock purchase warrants at the same time the securities sold by the Shemano Group were registered.

Offers and sales were made by the officers and directors of the Company. Although the Company paid finders fees in connection with the offering, no fees were paid to officers, directors or employees of the Company.

None of the shares were offered by means of advertising or general solicitation. Each of the sales by the Company was made pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D.

ITEM 6.    MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Plan of Operation

Managements discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the year ending December 31, 2004 focuses on the significant progress made and other items that affected Mines Managements performance and such factors that may affect its performance in the future.  The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.  The Companys Plan of Operation for the next twelve months includes additional reserve reviews, updates, and development of an underground drilling plan; engineering studies; initiation of the final feasibility studies; strong emphasis on the re-permitting applications to facilitate a coordinated review process; and development and implementation of financing plan for the Montanore Project and growth of the Company.

Plan of Operations-2004 Highlights

·

Strong cash position at end of year

·

Submitted mine plan to state and federal agencies

·

Selected McIntosh Engineering to complete mine plan review and update

·

Strong investor relations program

·

Financial results as expected



The end of year cash and certificates of deposit balance remained strong at over $6.5 million.  The net cash consumption for the year was $1.2 million to support operation activities including re-permitting, investor relations, and administration.  The Company has sufficient working capital for the next twelve months of operations.  Although the Company plans to hire additional staff during 2005, much of the anticipated work will be accomplished through the employment of consultants and the hiring of an independent engineering firm to coordinate the studies and pre-feasibility work.  We are currently evaluating  independent engineering firm candidates and plan to award the contract the first part of April.

Re-Permitting and Environmental

Mines Management, Inc. resubmitted its Plan of Operation and Hard Rock Mine Operating Permit Application for the Montanore project to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) at the end of December 2004.  The application represents the identical project on public land that each agency reviewed and approved for Noranda in 1993.

USFS/MDEQ are currently developing the necessary agreements and notifications required to initiate preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project.  It is anticipated that the public scoping meeting will be held in early 2005 to gain input from the public on the proposed action.

Mines Management is working with the agencies to update certain baseline data deemed appropriate to support the environmental impact statement.  We recently completed a second round of surface water quality sampling to validate the current surface water baseline data.  Mines Management has also initiated development of certain permit applications (i.e. air) that must be submitted to the agencies and will further support the development of the environmental impact statement.

Meetings with all major state and federal regulatory agencies have been completed since the submittal of the applications to discuss baseline data needs, applications, and the review process.  A coordinated review process by federal and state agencies will be used for the project.

Mines Management intends to complete all major permit applications within the first half of 2005 to facilitate the coordinated review process.

Geology

Mines Management has retained Mine Development Associates (MDA), headquartered in Reno, Nevada, to complete an audit of the Montanore Ore Resources calculated by Noranda Minerals, Inc.  MDA will complete a review of the assay data, drill logs, drill core, past geologic reports, mine plans, and other pertinent information.  It is expected that MDA will complete the audit and report by the end of the second quarter of 2005.

Engineering

Mines Management has also retained McIntosh Engineering, of Phoenix, Arizona, to initiate optimization and trade-off studies for the underground mine activities.  In addition, McIntosh Engineering will complete a mine plan that will be part of the pre-feasibility targeted for late of 2005.  McIntosh Engineering provided mine planning and cost estimations for Noranda Mineral Corp.s feasibility study in 1993.

As part of the overall project engineering, Mines Management personnel are currently reviewing qualifications of several major engineering firms to initiate optimization of the surface facilities and process flow sheet.  This firm will also review the past designs and plans, evaluate optimization opportunities and conduct trade-off studies for the process, material handling, and surface facilities.  The firm selected will coordinate and complete the pre-feasibility report with McIntosh Engineering.  It is anticipated an engineering firm will be selected by late March or early April 2005, and will complete a pre-feasibility by the end of 2005.

Klohn Crippen Consultants Ltd, of Vancouver, British Columbia, is conducting a  review of the existing tailings dam design and will provide technical support for the re-permitting effort as well as optimization and prefeasibility activities.  Klohn Crippen is developing dam design modifications required under the 1993 Record of Decision and issued by the State of Montana and the United States Forest Service.

Financial Results

Mines Management, Inc. reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $2,516,069 or $.26 per share versus a loss of $1,275,620 or $.18 per share for the prior year ending December 31, 2003.  The increase in net loss for 2004 of $1,240,499 was largely due mainly to an increase in non-cash stock option expense of $856,491.  Administrative costs for the Company increased by  $179,540 as a result of increased  re-permitting activity.  Professional Fees increased by $246,519 due to additional costs for financings and filing a registration statement in the second quarter 2004.  Administrative salaries increased $117,961 as a result of  additional headcount and salary increases during the year.  Fees, filing costs, and licenses increased $120,687 due to increases in the charges for the Montanore project and permitting application costs.  These increases were partially offset by a $68,440 decrease in commissions paid in 2004, $138,750 decrease in directors and management fees, and increased interest income of $111,268.

Having undertaken the re-permitting of its primary asset, the Montanore silver/copper project in western Montana, it is anticipated that expenditures will continue to escalate as we move through permitting of the project.  The Company projects spending approximately $1 million per quarter throughout 2005 as it works to optimize mitigation issues, additional expenses associated with permitting, review of prospective new projects for the company and investor relation programs.

Board of Directors

Mines Management, Inc.

Spokane, Washington





We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Mines Management, Inc. (an Idaho Corporation) and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mines Management, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



NOTE 1  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:



Organization:



Mines Management, Inc. (the Company) is a publicly held Idaho corporation incorporated in 1947.  The Company acquires, explores, and develops mineral and oil properties principally in North America. The Company performed exploration activities in South America in 2002.



Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:



a.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mines Management, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newhi, Inc.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  Newhi, Inc., was formed by the Company for the purpose of merger with Heidelberg Silver Mining Company, Inc.  In the merger, completed on April 15, 1988, Heidelberg Silver Mining Company, Inc., was merged into Newhi, Inc.  To effect the merger, the Company issued 367,844 shares of its previously unissued common stock.  Also in connection with this merger, the Company issued 11,117 shares of common stock and paid $4,446 as a finders fee.

b.

The Company capitalizes acquisition and exploration costs on nonoperating mining properties.  Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred.  Upon commencement of operations, the capitalized costs will be amortized based on proven or probable reserves.  Capitalized costs are charged to operations as impairment losses when title to the property has expired or when management believes the properties are not economically feasible to develop or hold for future development.

c.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable.  Management does not believe that any impairment adjustment is needed to the carrying value of assets at December 31, 2004.

d.

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Buildings and leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 39 years.  Machinery and furniture are generally being depreciated using accelerated methods over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.

e.

Basic and diluted loss per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year (9,745,097 and 7,234,703 in 2004 and 2003, respectively).  Stock options and warrants outstanding are antidilutive and are not considered in the computation.

f.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, investments in certificates of deposit with maturities less than 90 days, and money market funds.

NOTE 1  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):



Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):



g.

Deferred income tax is provided for differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting.  A deferred tax asset, subject to a valuation allowance, is recognized for estimated future tax benefits of tax-basis operating losses being carried forward.



h.

The preparation of 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.



i.

Certain reclassifications of 2003 amounts have been made to conform with the 2004 financial statement presentation with no effect on previously reported net loss.



j.

At December 31, 2004, the Company has four stock option plans, which are described more fully in note 6.  Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for stock options issued under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all stock-based employee compensation.





NOTE 2  STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY:



Common Stock:



In 2003, the Company sold 1,152,007 common shares for $1,267,207 ($1.10 per share).  In connection with the stock sales, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 1,152,007 common shares at $1.20 per share through two years from the date of issue.  During 2004, warrants for 451,139 shares had been exercised.



In 2004, the Company sold 1,285,000 common shares for $6,425,000 ($5.00 per share).  In connection with the stock sales, the Company granted warrants to purchase up to 511,000 common stock shares at $7.25 per share through five years from the initial exercise date.  To date no warrants have been exercised.  The Company paid a cash finders fee of 7% of the gross offering funds received in the offering.  The finder also received 3% warrant compensation.  The warrant calculation translates to 30,000 warrants for each $1 million raised.



Preferred Stock:



The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of no-par-value preferred stock.  Through December 31, 2004, the Company had not issued any of the authorized preferred stock.
