FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited financial statements of the Company for the periods covered by
this report are included elsewhere in this report, beginning at page F/S-1.
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003.
For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2002 incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company's financial condition and operations were similar for the first 9
months of 2003 as for the same period of 2002 but were diminished for the
comparable third quarter periods. No new capital from financing activities
was received in the third quarter of 2003 so exploration activities were
limited compared to the corresponding period of 2002. The cash balance at
the end of the third quarter of 2003 was $16,300 compared to $110,684 for the
corresponding quarter of 2002. Because of current financing activities in
the fourth quarter of 2003, it is anticipated that exploration activities
will begin to increase in the fourth quarter of 2003. Operating and
administrative expenses were $57,000 in the third quarter of 2003, partially
due to the write-off of goodwill, compared to $4,361 in the third quarter of
2002 even though operating activities were at a reduced level in the current
quarter.
During the third quarter of 2003, management compared the fair value of its
net assets held as a result of the Plainview Mining Company merger and
determined that an impairment charge should be recorded against the carrying
value of its goodwill. As a result, and in accordance with the provisions of
FASB 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", an impairment charge of
$30,950 was recognized during the third quarter.
In the current quarter funds used for exploration caused the deferred
development account to increase slightly from $358,000 to $377,000.
Plan Of Operations
The Company presently relies upon financing activities to meet operating and
administrative expenses as well as for exploration activities. Permitting of
a mining operation at the Silver Strand mine is underway, but expenditures
1
for development of the mine are not contemplated for 2003 because of the
anticipated delay of the permitting effort. Expenditures for permitting will
probably be less than $10,000 in 2003.
Improvements to the New Jersey mill to include the flotation process may
commence in the next 6 months depending on the success of financing
activities.
Production of ore from the New Jersey mine may occur in 2004 but higher gold
and silver prices will be required for production from the open pit mine.
Formal agreements have been signed to enable exploration to commence at the
Golden Chest mine, but funds from financing activities are required before
starting such activities.
The company is involved in exploring for and developing gold, silver and base
metal ore resources in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District of northern Idaho.
The Company has a portfolio of six mineral properties in the Coeur d'Alene
Mining District: the New Jersey mine, the Silver Strand mine, the Golden
Chest mine, the Lost Eagle project, the CAMP project and the Enterprise
project.
For a more complete description of the Company's properties refer to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.

NEW JERSEY MINING COMPANY
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
These unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003. For
further information refer to the financials statements and footnotes thereto
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2002 incorporated by reference herein.
Note 1 - Form and Organization
New Jersey Mining Company (the company) is a corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Idaho on July 18, 1996. The Company was dormant until
December 31,1996, when all of the assets and liabilities of the New Jersey
Joint Venture ( a partnership) were transferred to the Company in exchange
for 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The New Jersey Joint Venture, a
partnership, was formed in 1994 to develop the New Jersey mine.
Note 2 - Leases of Mining Claims
The Company has been assigned a mining lease with William Zanetti. The lease
provides for the Company's exploration, development and mining of minerals on
fee land through October 2008 and thereafter as long as mining operations
are deemed continuous. The lease provides for production royalties of 5% of
net sales of ores or concentrates. Additional production royalties of 1% to
5% are due if gold exceeds $597 per troy ounce. Also, annual advance
royalties totaling $500 are required under the lease. The advance royalties,
charged to expenses as incurred, are accumulated and will be credited against
the production royalty obligations. The lessor may terminate the lease upon
the Company's failure to perform under these terms of the lease. The Company
may also terminate the lease at any time.
The Company has a mining lease with Mine Systems Design, Inc., its majority
shareholder, which covers approximately 60 acres north of the New Jersey
mine. The lease has a fifteen year term and calls for a 3% NSR if production
is achieved. The NSR shall not exceed 10% of the gross proceeds.
The Company has an exploration lease with a mining lease option on the Golden
Chest mine located near Murray, Idaho. The agreement calls for a 2.5 year
exploration period during which the Company will issue 10,000 shares of
common stock per six month period. If the mining lease is executed, the
Company would issue 100,000 common shares and pay a sliding scale net smelter
return royalty on gold production which increases with the gold price. The
royalty is 3% up to $400/oz gold and then increases to a maximum of 6% at
higher gold prices, but the trigger prices for higher royalties will be
adjusted for inflation. Also, the Company would issue 50,000 common shares
for each 10,000 ounces of gold produced at the Golden Chest.
