Lincoln Mining Corporation, (TSX VENTURE:LMG) (“Lincoln” or the “Company”) announces its plans to arrange for a non-brokered private placement of up to 9,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit (“Units”) for total proceeds of up to $450,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of two years after the closing of the Offering.

Finders’ fees may be payable in connection with the Offering and those qualified persons involved as finders will receive a cash fee of up to 7% of the proceeds raised and such number of warrants (having the same terms as the warrants forming part of the Units) equal to up to 7% of the total number of Units sold.

Lincoln intends to use the proceeds raised from the private placement for permitting on the Pine Grove project and for general working capital purposes.

All securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada. The private placement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including from the TSX Venture Exchange.

In the United States, the Company operates under Lincoln Gold US Corp. and Lincoln Resource Group Corp., both Nevada corporations.
