Lincoln Gold Announces Signing of Drill Contract for the Pine Grove Property

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2021 / Lincoln Gold Mining Inc. ("Lincoln" or the "Company") (TSXV:LMG) is pleased to announce that it has signed a drilling contract with KB Drilling Co. Inc. of Moundhouse, Nevada to carry out a core hole drilling program at its Pine Grove project south of Yerington, Nevada, with an anticipated start date in September 2021.

This drilling program is an important next step in determining processing options for higher grade gold, potential expansion of known gold mineralization, and final pit design.

There are three primary objectives to this drill program:

• Three previously drilled rotary holes will be twinned to compare with current drill core results. This will better assist the Company in identifying high grade zones of mineralization and designing the recovery system for the higher-grade mineralization on the property. When the Pine Grove mine operated from 1865 to 1886, it was reported that approximately 240,000 gold ounces were produced at an average grade of 1.3 - 1.4 ounces per ton (see news release of February 19, 2017).
• Two geotechnical holes are planned for each mining pit (4 holes total) to determine the pit slopes for the final overall design.
• Potential expansion of known gold mineralization in the Wilson Pit area (see news release of September 16, 2019).

The Company is pleased to take this next key step in advancing the permitting process. Understanding and segregating the high-grade gold zones at the Pine Grove project area is an important part of the overall production plan.
