| Source: Planet Resource Recovery, Inc.
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - October 26, 2009) - Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. (PLANET)
(PINKSHEETS : PRRY ), developer, manufacturer and marketer of PetroLuxus™
and other "Green" technologies for the remediation and recovery of the
planet's resources, and Franklin Mining, Inc. (FRANKLIN) (PINKSHEETS : FMNJ )
execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The proposed venture is for
the deployment of Planet's new enhanced mining technology that can
accelerate the recovery and monetization of precious and semi-precious
minerals on an environmentally-friendly platform.
Planet has been developing a new environmentally-friendly platform for the
harvesting of minerals utilizing proprietary compounds coupled with unique
technologies processes. This new platform is geared to segregate metals at
the mine site rendering target metals into a more pure concentration
resulting in cost-savings and higher commodity pricing at point of sale.
Franklin is a partner in a three-party joint-venture in Bolivia known as
the Escala Mina I. This 500 hectare concession from the National Mining
Company of Bolivia (COMIBOL) is being prepared for the mining and recovery
of silver and zinc. Franklin also operates Bolivia's San Antonio de Turiri,
a privately owned antimony mine.
The MOU calls for a three-phase scale up:
Phase I - consists of applying PLANET's metal recovery to multiple 10 lb
samples of FRANKLIN gravity concentrated ore samples and assay resulting
byproducts at commercial labs.
Phase II - Upon successful completion, PLANET and FRANKLIN address the
issues of equipment requirements.
Phase III - Upon successful deployment and completion of the recovery and
joint sale of over 200 tons of metals, FRANKLIN and PLANET negotiate and
enter into a revenue sharing formula from the sale of metals.
Both companies anticipate the rapid execution of Phases contained in the
MOU and will report as the projects progress.
