"Planning is still in an early stage, but I am pleased and excited that progress made at our Escala and Turiri projects has attracted the interest of a major international investor," said Mr. Petty. "Meetings between our two companies over the past several weeks and a series of teleconferences earlier this week resulted in advancing the date for our potential financial backers to visit Franklin's Santa Cruz and La Paz offices as well as tour work sites."
In confirming today's announcement, Mr. Petty would add only that additional details concerning this potential financial investment in Franklin's two Bolivian mining projects would not be made available for several weeks.
