Franklin Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FMNJ) (FWB: FMJ). Chairman & CEO William Petty has today announced having signed joint-venture agreements with two firms for the possible construction and future operation of energy plants proposed for Bolivia.

In making today's announcement, Mr. Petty said, "These joint-venture agreements have strengthened Franklin's capabilities for participation in the future development of an interest in Bolivia's energy industries."

Energy Management International, formerly Franklin Mining's Energy Division, will pursue operating agreements for oil, gas and wind generated energy plants in Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay.

Franklin Chairman and CEO William Petty, and Energy Management President Howard Dunn, completed negotiations in late-2010 with McGuffy Energy Services, LP, Tomball, TX (www.mcguffygroup.com) for the design and construction of multiple GTL, LPG and gas separation projects in Bolivia. McGuffy managers recently traveled to Bolivia and are meeting with managers and staff at YPFB for the development of technical presentations related to the proposed initial project.

When constructed, Energy Management will submit their proposal to operate each Bolivian plant under Franklin's agreement with YPFB.
