Preproduction Permitting Process At Pine Grove Is Advancing

VANCOUVER - Lincoln Gold Mining Inc. is in the final stages of completing baseline work for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) at the Pine Grove Gold Project for the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). The two remaining permitting milestones to be completed are the Cultural Resources Study and the development of the water source for the proposed gold mine. Lincoln has hired Kautz Environmental Consultants, Inc. of Reno, Nevada and Summit Anthropology of Cottonwood Heights, Utah to carry out the Cultural Resources studies which includes ethnographic, anthropological, and archaeological reports. The initial tasks are to complete all field work and the various studies by year end.

The Company also announces that Mahannah & Associates will provide hydrologic consulting services including oversight of the water well drilling program. The intent is to drill water wells before the end of the year to establish well locations for mine process facilities in accordance with the Nevada Division of Water Resources requirements.
