New Jersey Mining Company
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

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, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. 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 month period ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company presents its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting guidance for development stage entities, as management believes that while the Company’s planned principal operations have commenced, the revenue generated from them is not sufficient to cover all corporate costs. Additional development of the Company’s properties is necessary before a transition is made to reporting as a production stage company.

Principles of Consolidation
At March 31, 2011, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of our majority owned New Jersey Mill Venture. Intercompany items and transactions between companies included in the consolidation are eliminated.

2.

Related Party Transactions

The Company jointly owns with Marathon Gold USA (MUSA) and acts as the operator of the Golden Chest LLC. Accounts receivable are a part of normal operations which include operating costs, payroll, drilling costs, and drilling income. As of March 31, 2011 the following related party balances existed with Marathon Gold and GC LLC:

  Accounts receivable $     146,392
  Drilling and exploration contract income 183,836
  Management fees 14,035
  Drilling and exploration contract expense 108,997

Engineering income includes engineering services provided to United Mine Services (UMS). UMS holds the noncontrolling interest in the Company's Mill Joint Venture. Engineering services to UMS in the first quarter of 2011 were $32,700. $1,500 was paid to Mine Systems Design, a related party, for office rent in the first quarter of 2011.

New Jersey Mill Venture Agreement

The Company has one subsidiary. In January 2011, the New Jersey Mill Venture agreement was signed by the Company and United Mine Services, Inc. (UMS) relating to the New Jersey mineral processing plant. To earn a one third interest in the venture, UMS will provide funding to expand the processing plant to 15 tonnes/hr, which is estimated to cost $2.5 million. The proposed expansion budget included purchasing land held by the Company, known as the Zanetti Mining Lease, which was cancelled by the purchase of the land. The Company is the operator of the venture and will charge operating costs to UMS for milling its ore up to 7,000 tonnes/month, retain a milling capacity of 3,000 tonnes/month, and as the operator of the venture receive a fee of $2.50/tonne milled. UMS has contributed $989,420 for a vested, noncontrolling interest of 13% as of March 31, 2011. The Company holds the remaining interest.

Subsequent Events

In April of 2011 Newmont North American Exploration (Newmont) withdrew from the Toboggan joint venture it held with the Company. Newmont quitclaimed the entire land package and will transfer to the Company all exploration data obtained during the three years of work that was conducted on the project.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When we use the terms "New Jersey Mining Company," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our," we are referring to New Jersey Mining Company (the Company) and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q that address activities, events or developments that our management expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include discussion of such matters as:

Forward-looking statements also typically include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "potential," "could" or similar words suggesting future outcomes. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including such factors as the volatility and level of metal prices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, uncertainties in cash flow, expected acquisition benefits, exploration mining and operating risks, competition, litigation, environmental matters, the potential impact of government regulations, and other matters related to the mining industry, many of which are beyond our control. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

The Company is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Plan of Operation
The Company modified its strategy in 2010 and is continuing that modified strategy in 2011. The former strategy was to conduct exploration for gold, silver and base metal deposits in the greater Coeur d’Alene Mining District of northern Idaho while concurrently conducting mining and mineral processing operations on ore reserves it has located on its exploration properties. The new strategy now deemphasizes the generation of cash by mining and milling and emphasizes the exploration of its properties in order to increase the amount of reserves before making a production decision. The new financial strategy involves forming joint ventures with partners who contribute cash to earn their interest. The strategy includes finding and developing ore reserves of significant quality and quantity to justify investment in mining and mineral processing facilities. The Company’s primarily focus is on gold with silver and base metals of secondary emphasis. The Company receives revenue for providing core drilling and engineering services from its joint venture partners, as well as management fees.

All exploration is now being done at the Golden Chest mine. Other exploration properties include the Toboggan, Niagara/Copper Camp, the Silver Strand, the Coleman, and the Giant Ledge.

Exploration activities at the Golden Chest during the first quarter of 2011 increased substantially compared to prior periods. Exploration activity increased because of the venture agreement with Marathon Gold USA (MUSA) that was signed in December 2010. MUSA contributed $1,000,000 cash at the December closing and $500,000 on March 31, 2011 as required by the venture terms. MUSA is scheduled to contribute $500,000 by June 30, 2011, $1,000,000 by September 30, 2011 and $1,000,000 by November 30, 2011, bringing the total cash contribution by MUSA to $4 million for a 50% ownership of the venture. MUSA has the right to contribute an additional US$3.5 million by November 30, 2012 to take its ownership interest to 60% of the venture. MUSA also has the option to accelerate any of these contributions. During the first quarter of 2011, 1,750 meters of drilling was completed of the planned 10,000 meters drilling for 2011. The Company conducted core drilling operations at the Golden Chest for the venture under a service agreement.

The Toboggan Project is a group of prospects in the Murray, Idaho District that contain gold and silver telluride minerals. The Toboggan Project was being explored by Newmont North America Exploration Limited under a joint venture agreement. Newmont did not complete their earn-in by March 20, 2011 and the joint venture agreement was terminated. Newmont returned all the unpatented claims held by the venture to the Company. The Company is now actively searching for a new joint venture partner to continue exploration of the favorable gold prospects examined by Newmont.

The Niagara copper-silver deposit, also located in the Murray, Idaho area, in the Revett formation was drilled in the 1970’s, and the Company drilled five holes since which expanded the resource. Results of the recent drilling also indicate that gold would be a significant byproduct. Preliminary open pit mining studies have been completed. Currently the Company is seeking a joint venture partner for exploration and development of the Niagara deposit, and the Copper Camp prospect will be included in the proposed venture. These properties would be kept separate from the Toboggan Project.

The Silver Strand mine is ready for small scale production of about 5,000 tonnes per year. However the New Jersey mineral processing plant is in a construction phase to expand capacity and won’t be re-commissioned until late 2011. Consequently, the Company is seeking a buyer for the mine.

At the Coleman underground mine future plans are to conduct further drilling to locate higher grade reserves. No work is planned in 2011.

The New Jersey mineral processing plant is being expanded in order to process ore from the nearby Crescent silver mine. A letter of intent to form a joint venture with United Mine Services, Inc. was signed in September 2010 and a definitive venture agreement was reached in January 2011. The plant will be expanded from a processing rate of 4 tonnes/hr to 15 tonnes/hr during 2011. UMS will pay the expansion cost estimated to be $2.5 million. After completion of the expansion, the Company will own 2/3 of the venture and UMS will own 1/3. The Company is the operator of the venture. UMS will have a minimum quota of ore of 7,000 tonnes per month and the Company will have 3,000 tonnes per month. Each party will pay its processing costs and the Company will charge a management fee of $2.50/tonne. Currently, the plant is under construction and most equipment is on order or already received. UMS has contributed $989,420 for a vested, noncontrolling interest of 13% as of March 31, 2011. The Company holds the remaining interest.

Changes in Financial Condition

The Company maintains an adequate cash balance by increasing or decreasing its exploration expenditures as limited by availability of cash from operations or from financing activities. The cash balance at the end of the first quarter was $425,102, and Figure 1 shows the corresponding balances for previous accounting periods.

The cash balance increased during the quarter, starting from $357,317, primarily due to increases in cash in the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture accounts.

Results of Operations

Income Earned during the Development Stage (Revenue) for the first quarter of 2011 was $230,571 as compared to nil for the first quarter of 2010. Revenue was higher in 2011 due to contracted services. Figure 2 shows a net loss for the first quarter of 2011 of $2,620 compared to $171,384 for the comparable period of 2010. The net loss for 2011 was less than 2010 because of higher revenue.

There was no gold production in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010. No gold production is expected for 2011 because the mill is shutdown due to construction and only exploration activities are planned for the Golden Chest mine.

Preliminary plans at the Golden Chest mine include only exploration in 2011 but in 2012, ramp access may be extended to the Idaho vein reserves. When the Idaho vein ramp development is completed there will be more than 200,000 tonnes available for production from currently-existing reserves.

No production is planned at the Silver Strand mine in 2011 because plans are to sell the mine or engage a joint venture partner. The mine is ready for production on a seasonal basis.

About $2.5 million in capital expenditures are planned at the New Jersey mineral processing plant to increase the processing rate to 15 tonnes per hour. Expansion costs are paid by our partner, United Mine Services.

The amount of money to be spent on exploration at the Company’s mines and prospects depends primarily on contributions of our joint venture partners, particularly at the Golden Chest. If new joint venture partners are engaged at the Toboggan Project and Niagara-Copper Camp Projects, exploration activities would increase .

The Company provides surface drilling services at the Golden Chest and receives payment from Golden Chest LLC from funds provided by Marathon Gold. The Company also receives a management fee as Manager of the venture. The Company receives payment for engineering services from United Mine Services for the mill expansion project. No additional financing activities are necessary in 2011 unless exploration plans are expanded.

Drilling and Exploration Income
Drilling and Exploration income increased for the three month period ending March 31, 2011 compared to last year because of drilling activity that was conducted at the Golden Chest under the newly formed Joint Venture agreement.

Joint Venture Management Fees
Joint venture management fees are an income item related to the operation of the recently formed Golden Chest joint venture.

Changes in Direct Production Costs
Direct production costs decreased for the three month period ending March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period last year because efforts have been redirected towards exploration.

Drilling and Exploration Contract Expense
Drilling and Exploration contract expense has increased for the three month period ending March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period last year because of increased drilling activity at the Golden Chest.

Changes in Management Costs
Management expenses decreased for the three month period ending March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period last year because some of the costs have been absorbed by the joint ventures.

Changes in Exploration Costs
Exploration expenses decreased for the three month period ending March 31, 2011 compared to the comparable period last year because most employees have been redirected to the Golden Chest or drilling activities.
