VANCOUVER – April 29, 2020. Lincoln Gold Mining Inc. (“Lincoln” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LMG) continues unabated on its permitting efforts on its Pine Grove Gold Mine Project despite the Covid-19 pandemic. The permitting of the project in the gold rich, politically stable State of Nevada is progressing with our consultants working effectively from their home offices writing the required baseline study reports in support of the forthcoming Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Interaction with the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the various State of Nevada agencies is taking place via teleconferencing meetings.
Paul Saxton, President of Lincoln, states “The Company believes that gold will continue to increase in price and that we are extremely pleased that our consultants have been commended by the government agencies on the fine job that they are doing in advancing the permitting for production under the present conditions.”
Our lead permitting consultant, Stantec, has informed Lincoln that the botany baseline report has been approved for the Project. Our consultants are moving on to the Biological Evaluation/Biological Assessment for sensitive plant species and plan to have that submitted by May. The Air Quality Baseline Report was submitted to the USFS in early April. Specialist Reports are the immediate precursor to National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and Stantec will begin drafting Specialist Reports once the baseline reports have been approved by the USFS.
