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, announced today that the company and Franklin Mining, Inc. have entered into Joint Venture agreements to develop and operate two additional antimony mines in addition to the San Antonia de Turiri Antimony mine. The two additional mines include Bolivia's Sorpresa Antimony mine and the Concordia Antimony mine. Both mines have a 20 year operating agreement.

PLANET's wholly owned subsidiary, Raptor Ventures, LLC, will be the sole owner of the Joint Venture. Raptor Ventures' management will administer all operations at its sole and absolute reasonable discretion. Profits from the Joint Venture will be distributed equally between Franklin Mining, PLANET and Midwest General of Arizona after all operational expenses have been satisfied prior to distribution.

The Sorpresa and Concordia mines are contiguous to the San Antonio de Turiri Antimony mine which is situated on part of Bolivia's primary antimony belt. The three mines main ore body ranges from 58% to 67% of pure antimony.

Raptor Ventures, LLC will commence mining operations at the San Antonio de Turiri mine in the first week of June 2010 and operation at the Sorpresa and Concordia mines to follow shortly after.

Antimony is a chemical element that has a broad range of applications in manufacturing of industrial and consumer products. It is used in numerous industries such as semiconductors, flame retardants, storage batteries, electronics, pharmaceuticals, paints, ceramics alloys, rubber and small arms ammunition. Bolivia is one of the five top producing countries in the world. China dominates production of antimony and Bolivia produces approximately 3.5% of the annual world demand. Commodity pricing for antimony has steadily risen from a little over US $1,000.00 per ton to present day (January 2010) pricing of US $6,400.00 per ton.

Mining operations will be divided into two phases: primary ore mining and secondary enhanced mining recovery. Primary ore recovery will be the immediate mining of the high grade ore with estimated initial production of 50 tonnes per month and incremental increases of 50 additional tonnes per month.

Secondary enhanced mining recovery will commence upon the deployment and implementation of PLANET's enhanced mining technology. While PLANET's technology is being deployed, secondary recovery ore will accumulate for recovery. The current ore ready to be processed is estimated at 6,000 tonnes of antimony.
