Chester Mining Company (CHMN) was founded in Coeur d'Alene in 1900 to  explore the Chester property, just east of the Sunshine Mine, in the  heart of Idaho's world-famous Silver Valley. The property was later  operated by Sunshine Mining & Refining and was most recently  producing silver between 1961 through 1976. Chester paid shareholders a  substantial dividend while its property was in production.

A reinvigorated Chester Mining is a unique mineral  exploration company with a strategy of acquiring properties in proven  mining districts and leasing them out to generate an income stream while  retaining speculative leverage to exploration success through royalty  interests.

Chester has approximately 4.4 million shares outstanding, positive working capital and no debt.

Chester stock trades on the OTC Market under the symbol "CHMN". Corporate highlights include: 

Renewal of the former Sunshine lease on the strategically-located Chester and Bismark properties to Sterling Mining Company.
