1. Description of Business	1. Description of Business New Jersey Mining Company (“the Company”) was incorporated as an Idaho corporation on July 18, 1996. The Company's primary business is exploring for and developing gold, silver, and base metal mineral resources in the Greater Coeur d’Alene Mining District of North Idaho and extending into Western Montana. It is currently evaluating new mineral investment and development opportunities in the western United States. The Company is currently focused on advanced stage exploration and development assets that could be developed into near-term cash flow. During late 2014, one of its mineral properties saw a new mine developed and put into production by a lessee. The New Jersey Mill was also put into production in 2014 to process ore from the Golden Chest Mine. The mine and mill are expected to ramp up to full production during the first half of 2015. In the past, the Company has done minor production runs at its mill from high grade deposits located near the surface with the strategy to generate cash to be used for additional exploration to discover major mineral deposits on its properties. The Company has not yet developed sufficient reserves to justify investment in a major mine, thus it remains in the exploration stage.
