August 24, 2010

Vancouver, British Columbia – Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX-V: LMG (“Lincoln” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, as part of its progress in moving the Pine Grove to production, Lincoln and its wholly owned subsidiary Lincoln Gold US Corp. (“Lincoln US") have entered into a purchase agreement for Lincoln US to acquire 10 unpatented mining claims and associated water rights (collectively known as the "Cavanaugh property") situated at the Company’s Pine Grove project in Lyon County, Nevada.

In consideration for the sale of the Cavanaugh property, the vendors will receive a total of US $650,000 and 400,000 common shares in the capital of the Company as follows:

On closing $250,000.00 and 150,000 shares
August 23, 2011 $150,000.00 and 150,000 shares
August 23, 2012 $150,000.00 and 100,000 shares
August 23, 2013 $100,000.00    

The vendors will also retain a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty subject to Lincoln’s option to buy down the royalty at a rate of US $75,000 per one-half percent.  The balance of the payments indicated above following closing will be secured against the Cavanaugh property.

The addition of the Cavanaugh property completes the acquisition of all claims within the area of the Pine Grove project. The claims will allow the Company to plan its open pit mine designs and the design of the operation in general. The Cavanaugh property includes certain water rights which are expected to provide the Company with a large part of the water requirements needed for production purposes.  As well the Cavanaugh property has significant exploration potential.

Closing of the transaction remains subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
