Lincoln Receives Approval For Pine Grove Geotechnical Program

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2022 / Lincoln Gold Mining Inc. ("Lincoln" or the "Company") (TSXV:LMG) is pleased to announce that it continues to advance its permitting approvals needed to take the projected low-cost Pine Grove Gold property to production. Further to the Company's news release of December 23, 2021, the fieldwork report on Cultural Resource Studies will be completed in March 2022. Concurrently, Lincoln submitted its geotechnical work program to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and approval for the work program was received on February 21, 2022. In addition, the USFS has approved and accepted the reclamation bond that the Company has put in place in order to commence the current work program and provide for any future site reclamation requirements. This approved work plan will allow Lincoln to complete the remaining field activities necessary to finalize the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) baseline work.

Paul Saxton, President and CEO, stated that "This is a key milestone in the final push to complete the baseline EIS reports. Once the baseline work is complete, the Company and Forest Service will initiate the writing of the EIS. We have been working closely with personnel at the USFS to advance the final stages of permitting so that the project can achieve final approval which will allow for construction of the facilities followed by mining and gold production."

The few remaining baseline projects to complete include the hydrogeologic report, process area foundation geotechnical study, condemnation drilling and locating borrow pits for construction materials. The Company is in the process of reviewing bids for water well drilling. Communication with the U.S. Forest Service Bridgeport Ranger District and other stakeholders in the area is ongoing and the Company is pleased with the positive reception from the interested parties.
