LINCOLN MINING ADVANCES PERMITTING AT PINE GROVE IN NEVADA

August 22, 2017

Vancouver, British Columbia – Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX -V: LMG (“Lincoln” or the

“Company”) is pleased to provide an update on progress at its Pine Grove property in Nevada.

Lincoln is encouraged by the results of the most recent PEA and will begin advancing the Pine

Grove project (the “Project”) towards production and as such will focus the majority of its efforts

in permitting the Project for production. Resource exploration will continue.

Paul Saxton, Lincoln’s President and Chief Executive Officer, noted “The Company is poised now

to capitalize on the favorable view towards mining in the U.S. We look forward to completion of

the development work at Pine Grove. The Company’s policy of strong environmental stewardship

has enabled us to work well with both State and Federal agencies towards attaining this goal.”

Lincoln has commissioned various environmental studies at Pine Grove since 2009, and reported

data required for the permitting of a mine to several agencies. The Company is establishing a full

list of all reports, studies and approvals needed in its Plan of Operations. The Project will be under

the jurisdiction of the federal US Forest Service (“USFS”). Lincoln will also need to obtain other

permits from Federal, State and local agencies as required.

Over the year s, Lincoln has built momentum with the Agencies and consultants. Lincoln has

obtained a determination of non -jurisdictional waters of the U.S . (“non-WotUS”) from the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers. Geochemical characterization of waste rock and ore is underway with

oversight by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”) and the USFS. Biological

baseline data, collected by Stantec Consulting Services Inc., has been reported to the USFS and

the Nevada Division of Wildlife.

The National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) requires an environmental analysis to be carried

out prior to approving the Plan of Operations (“POO”). Critical to this NEPA analysis are baseline

surveys, reports and approvals regarding heritage resources, surface waters impacts, waste rock

geochemistry, and biological concerns. The biological report along with the cultural survey report

will be reviewed for final approval by Federal and State regulators.

Lincoln has submitted a plan of operations to the USFS regarding geotechnical exploration

activities needed to complete mine facilities design. Lincoln’s proposed activities consist of:

(1) drilling nine vertical reverse-circulation condemnation holes,

(2) drilling five groundwater exploration drill holes,

(3) drilling six geotechnical engineering auger holes, and

(4) excavating eleven test pits for the evaluation of additional engineering properties of the soil.

To aid the Company in all this work , Lincoln is pleased to announce the engagement of an

effective permitting team that will allow it to proceed with permitting of the Pine Grove Project

towards operation. The consulting team with respective task assignments consists of the

following:

Stantec Consulting Services Inc. – Collection of environmental baseline data and writing of

environmental reports. Stantec has prepared documentation to present the results of acid base

accounting (“ABA”) and meteoric water mobility procedure (“MWMP”) of samples from drill holes

intended to test waste rock at Lincoln’s proposed Pine Grove Project. This testing was requested

by the NDEP’s Bureau of Mining Reclamation and Regulation (“BMRR”). Stantec has delivered

archaeological, botanical and wildlife studies to the USFS. Stantec installed a meteorological

station and has collected site- specific weather data since 2010. Stantec is preparing a

Reclamation Plan for the proposed Pine Grove mine.

Welsh Hagen Associates – Working with management and other consultants on t he Plan of

Operations (“POO”) as it pertains to mine design.

Kappes, Cassiday & Associates – Metallurgical assessment, process engineering, and mine

facilities design and construction.

Golder Associates Inc. – Collection and evaluation of geotechnical information required for the

POO and pit wall stability.
