Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX-V: LMG ("Lincoln" or the "Company") announces it is arranging agreements with numerous creditors pursuant to which Lincoln plans to issue up to 13,029,755 shares to settle indebtedness of up to $1,046,481, at a deemed issue price of $0.085 per share in respect of certain related parties of the Company and at a deemed issue price of $0.05 for the balance. 

 

The issuance of the shares remains subject to the approval of TSX Venture Exchange.

 

The Company expects that the proposed debt settlements will assist the Company in seeking new financing transactions to advance the development of the Company's Pine Grove project and for working capital.

 

A total of 10,932,572 shares are to be issued to related parties in settlement of an aggregate of $929,268.92 in debt. The amounts owing to such related parties comprise accrued directors' fees and a portion of accrued management and consulting fees owing to the Company's directors and officers, as the case may be, who have foregone payment of such fees over up to the past four years in order to assist the Company in preserving its cash and maintaining its operations and the development of its projects. 

 

The participation by the insiders is considered a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 on the basis that the debt settlement with related parties constitutes the distribution of securities of the Company for cash consideration of less than $2.5 million; neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, the related parties, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed; and the debt settlement with each related party will have been unanimously approved by the Company's independent directors.

 

Lincoln also announces that it does not plan to close any further tranches of its previously announced private placement. Pending completion of the foregoing shares for debt transaction, Lincoln is considering various new financing opportunities and will update the market as circumstances warrant.

 

Lincoln Mining Corp. is a Canadian precious metals exploration and development company with two projects in various stages of exploration and development, namely the Pine Grove gold property in Nevada and the Oro Cruz gold property in California.
