Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On December 20, 2007, Mines Management, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the members of LeMaster & Daniels PLLC (“LMD”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, advising the Company of their intention to resign as the Company’s independent auditors following the completion of their audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The Company’s Audit Committee has accepted LMD’s resignation but has not yet selected an independent auditor to succeed LMD.

In the letter, LMD indicated that the resignation was part of a firm-wide decision to cease performing attest services to publicly-traded companies with the exception of certain issuers filing on Form 11-K. The letter further stated that, among other factors, that decision was based on the increased risk and costs associated with performing such engagements given the small number of publicly-traded companies currently being served by LMD.

There were no disagreements between the Company and LMD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, nor did LMD’s report on the Company’s financial statements for either of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005 contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was any such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

The Company has authorized LMD to communicate with any successor independent auditor.
