Comibol is a Bolivian state miner which manages the state’s interests in mining concessions, metallurgical and industrial plants through joint ventures, lease and / or service.

Previously in 2009, Franklin Mining entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Bolser. Canada-based SGS Research Limited conducted tests at the mine. The results revealed the mine has high grade mineralisation.

The certificate of analysis was for testing the content of gold, silver, zinc, lead, arsenic, cadmium, bismuth and copper.
Gold content ranged from .02 g/t to .13 g/t and silver ranged from 3.2 g/t to 253 g/t, the company said.

The other mineral elements spanned over various ranges but are not integral to the company’s current commercial plan.
