1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies:	1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies: These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of New Jersey Mining Company (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Principles of Consolidation At September 30, 2016, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the accounts of our majority owned New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”), Golden Chest LLC Joint Venture (“GCJV”) and GF&H Company. Intercompany items and transactions between companies included in the consolidation are eliminated. The outstanding ownership of GCJV was acquired by the Company in December 2015. In August 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 33.3% outstanding shares of GF&H and now owns 100% of GF&H (Note 14). Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership of metals or metal bearing concentrate have passed and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of metals may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays, and are recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of final settlement of prices, weights and assays; such adjustments are typically not material in relation to the initial invoice amounts. Revenue received from drilling and exploration contracts with third parties is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal operations. Income received as the operator of the Company’s joint ventures is recognized in the months during which those operations occur. Revenue received from engineering services provided is recognized when services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable. These services are not a part of normal operations. Revenues from mill operations and custom milling are recognized in the period in which the milling is completed, concentrates are shipped, and collection of payment is deemed probable. Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when a contract has been established, the timber has been shipped, and payment is deemed probable. These sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations. Pre-Development Activities Pre-development activities involve cost incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production, such as underground ramp development, pumping, and open pit development, which are expensed due to the lack of evidence of economic development, which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these expenses. These cost are charged to operations as incurred. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported. Going Concern As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had minimal revenue and a net loss of $828,756 and $1,144,006 respectively for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2016 as well as an accumulated deficit and negative working capital at September 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue its operations.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

In August 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 33.3% outstanding shares of GF&H and now owns 100% of GF&H (Note 14).

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership of metals or metal bearing concentrate have passed and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of metals may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal prices, weights and assays, and are recorded as adjustments to revenue in the period of final settlement of prices, weights and assays; such adjustments are typically not material in relation to the initial invoice amounts. Revenue received from drilling and exploration contracts with third parties is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable.

Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when a contract has been established, the timber has been shipped, and payment is deemed probable. These sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations.

Pre-Development Activities

Pre-development activities involve cost incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production, such as underground ramp development, pumping, and open pit development, which are expensed due to the lack of evidence of economic development, which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these expenses. These cost are charged to operations as incurred.

Reclassifications

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had minimal revenue and a net loss of $828,756 and $1,144,006 respectively for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2016 as well as an accumulated deficit and negative working capital at September 30, 2016.
