Lincoln Mining Submits Mine Plan of Operations – Pine Grove Gold Project – Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Lincoln Mining Corp., TSX-V: LMG (“Lincoln” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that its U.S. subsidiary, Lincoln Resource Group Corp., has submitted a Mine Plan of Operations (PoO) to the United States Forest Service, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest on May 15, 2018. The PoO was compiled by Welsh Hagen Associates of Reno, Nevada and incorporated data and information from a number of consulting companies that are working on the project. Submission of the PoO initiates the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires the compilation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), including public comment. The lead agency is the U.S. Forest Service – Bridgeport Ranger District in Bridgeport, California. Lincoln is working closely with its prime environmental contractor, Stantec Consulting Services of Reno, Nevada and the U.S. Forest Service to advance the permitting process as quickly as possible.

A conceptual mining schedule is based on an annual production goal of 1.0 million tons of feed to the crusher.  Material will be mined from two open-pit mines on the Wheeler deposit and Wilson deposit. The Wheeler pit will be mined first and will be backfilled with overburden from the Wilson pit. Contract mining will be utilized. Material will be crushed to -3/8 inch, agglomerated, and placed on a conventional leach pad. Pregnant solutions will be collected from the pad and absorbed onto activated carbon in a series of five columns. The carbon will be stripped off site to recover the gold. High-grade ore will be stockpiled and processed on site utilizing a 200 tpd mill with gravity recovery. Historic production and modern drilling support the presence of local high-grade material. Mine life is estimated at 5 years including 1 year of pre-production. Exploration potential to increase gold resources is excellent. Lincoln is working with its partner, Goldcliff Resources (US) Inc., a subsidiary of Goldcliff Resources Corporation to develop the Pine Grove gold project. Lincoln is the operator of the project.
