Lincoln Mining Announces Successful Pine Grove Drill Results
March 2, 2010
Vancouver, British Columbia – Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX-V: LMG (“Lincoln” or the “Company”) is pleased announce the following drill results on the Pine Grove gold property, Lyon County, Nevada.
Pine Grove Property
The Pine Grove is Lincoln’s flagship property. Production is planned for late 2011 as an open pit heap/leach operation. Lincoln has received the second set of assays from the 63 confirmation drill hole program required for a new resource calculation which is designed to potentially upgrade the category of the resources on the property. This is all part of the scoping and feasibility studies presently underway. The drilling was carried out on the two patented claim areas, the Wilson and the Wheeler which form part of the property. The holes reported here are primarily from the Wheeler claims.
No ‘new area’ exploration drilling was included in this program which is designed solely to reaffirm and potentially upgrade the gold resources identified by a 160 hole program conducted by Teck Resources Ltd. in the early 1990’s. The historical resources calculated from this earlier drilling are designated as “inferred” because the work was carried out prior to Canadian exchange NI 43-101 reporting requirements (see technical report prepared by Minefill Services, Inc., dated September 30, 2008, on the Company’s website). The new intersections will be included with the previous drilling by Teck to produce an updated resource calculation. A total of 16,341 feet of drilling was completed during this program, 11,061 ft on the Wilson and 5,280 ft on the Wheeler. There have been a number of high grade intercepts and these will be taken into consideration in the upcoming exploration program that is intended to expand the resource and also aid in the design of the plant.
Additional exploration drilling programs, designed to increase the size of the resource base, are planned for later in the year. These programs will test numerous prospective areas on the Pine Grove property. Permitting for these programs is in progress under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Forest Service.
Intersections of Significance
Because of the number of intersections in the drilling we have listed only those over 5 feet or greater and 0.7 grams per tonne or greater. The full range of drill results will be posted on the Company’s website at www.lincolnmining.com. The following drill holes are from the Wheeler and Wilson properties and holes are vertical unless otherwise noted and the intercepts are not necessarily true thicknesses.
