About Mission Mining Company:
Mission Mining
Company focuses on the acquisition and development of significant US gold,
silver, platinum group metals, and rare earths mining properties pursuant to
its business plan of expeditiously and prudently developing the owned / leased
mining properties and placing them into full production. The Company has recently executed a
mining / operating lease for the El Dorado mining property in San Bernardino
County, California, and has acquired 100.0% ownership of the Gold Star mining
property in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Historical geological reports on the two properties indicate
substantial values in gold, silver, platinum group metals (PGM?s), and likely
substantial but as yet untested amounts of rare earth elements (REE). As an important step in its mine
development strategy, the Company plans to conduct additional, extensive, third
party testing to be conducted by qualified and certified geologists, mining
engineers, and assayers in respect of each of its mining properties so as to
verify, validate, and clarify published in-ground resource quantities and
values as stated in the existing / historical test reports, assays, and
valuation reports. Management?s
commitment to restructure the Company on behalf of its shareholders, as
evidenced by the decision to focus on the acquisition and development of
suitable US precious metals and rare earth mining properties represents a
timely and prudent business opportunity, as the saleable products will not
become obsolete, and there will always be a significant demand and liquid market
for the metals / rare earths produced.
As a result of the acquisition of the El Dorado Mine and the Gold Star
Mine, the Company has significantly increased its total booked assets under
GAAP, as reflected in its financial statements now on file with OTC Markets. $MISM
