Lincoln Mining Enters Exploration License Agreement On Pine Grove Placer Claims


May 2, 2016

Vancouver, British Columbia – Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX-V: LMG ("Lincoln" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into an Exploration License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Placer Solutions LLC (“Placer”), a private company based in Montana, USA, to explore the placer claims on Lincoln’s Pine Grove project in Nevada (the ”Claims”). The Agreement applies to the Company’s Pine Grove placer claims only as it is the Company’s intent to develop its lode claims separately.

Under the terms of the Agreement, for a period of 18 months, the Company has granted Placer:  i) the exclusive right to explore the Claims for a one-time payment of US$10,000, ii) an exclusive option to enter into a five (5) year mining lease on the Claims for an annual rental fee of US$10,000 for the first year and US$6,000 thereafter and a net operating profit royalty of 20% (the “Lease Option”).

Should Placer exercise the Lease Option, Placer has an exclusive right to purchase the Claims (and certain ancillary water rights) plus buyout the royalty for a total consideration of US$1,500,000 for a period of three years from the anniversary of the lease. The Agreement may be terminated at Placer’s discretion upon 60 days’ written notice to the Company.

Lincoln Mining Corp. is a Canadian precious metals exploration and development company with several projects in various stages of exploration and development which include the Pine Grove gold property in Nevada and the Oro Cruz gold property in California. In the United States, the Company operates under Lincoln Gold US Corp. and Lincoln Resource Group Corp. both Nevada corporations.
