Lincoln Announces Effective Date Of Share Consolidation, Approval Of Option Plan And Loans

VANCOUVER – March 3, 2022. Lincoln Gold Mining Inc. (“Lincoln” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LMG) announces that, further to the Company’s press release on January 11, 2023, it is proceeding with a consolidation of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of one post-consolidated common share for every ten pre-consolidated common shares (the “Consolidation”). No fractional shares will be issued as any fractional share will be rounded to the nearest whole number. The new CUSIP number will be 53359R205 and the new ISIN number will be CA53359R2054. The Company’s name and stock symbol will remain unchanged following the Consolidation.

The Consolidation is subject to final confirmation by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Consolidation will be effective at the opening of markets on March 8, 2023. As a result of the Consolidation, it is expected that the 38,663,248 common shares which are currently issued and outstanding will be reduced to approximately 3,866,324 common shares, subject to rounding.

Shareholders who hold their common shares through a securities broker or other intermediary and do not have common shares registered in their name will not be required to take any measures with respect to the Consolidation. Letters of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation will be mailed shortly to all registered shareholders of the Company. All registered shareholders who submit a duly completed letter of transmittal along with their respective share certificate(s) representing the pre-consolidated common shares to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, will receive a certificate representing the post-consolidated common shares.

Adoption of New Stock Option Plan

The Company is pleased to announce that the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of a new stock option plan (the “New Option Plan”) at the Company's annual general meeting held on October 28, 2022 (the "Meeting"). The New Option Plan is a 10% rolling stock option plan and was adopted by the board of directors of the Company in order to bring the Company in line with certain amendments made to TSXV Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation (“Policy 4.4”) which came into effect on November 24, 2021. The New Option Plan will replace and supersede the Company’s previous 10% rolling stock option plan.

Further details regarding the New Option Plan are included in the management information circular of the Company that was sent to shareholders of the Company in connection with the Meeting, a copy of which was filed and is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Loans

The Company also announces that during 2022 and up to March 1, 2023, it obtained unsecured loans in various principal amounts totalling CDN $311,915.66 and US $20,000.00 (the "Loans"). CDN $255,815.66 and US $20,000.00 in principal amount of the Loans bear 12% interest per annum and $56,100.00 in principal amount of the Loans bear 8% interest per annum.

Paul Saxton, Chief Executive Officer, President and director of the Company, loaned to the Company an aggregate of $36,900 in principal amount of the Loans and such transaction is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101”). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation.  The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the advance of the loans from Mr. Saxton as the details and amounts of the insider participation were not finalized until closer to the loan advance and the Company wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
