LINCOLN MINING CONTINUES TO ADVANCE PERMITTING AT PINE GROVE IN NEVADA

March 27, 2018

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

announces that its subsidiary, Lincoln Resource Group Corp. and Goldcliff Resources (US) Inc., a wholly owned

subsidiary of Goldcliff Resources Corporation (“Goldcliff”), together r eferred to as (the “Partners” ), are

pleased to provide an update on the mine permitting progress at the Pine Grove gold project in Lyon County,

Nevada. The Pine Grove project is being permitted as a 3,000 ton per day open pit/heap leach operation with

the possibility of underground mining in the future. The main process plant will be a simple heap leach with

solutions reporting to carbon columns and gold being recovered from the carbon off site. In addition to the

heap leach process, the Partners are planning a 200 ton/day milling and gravity recovery operation designed

to recover gold from possible high grade zones. Historic production records from Pine Grove indicate that

high-grade zones in excess of one (1) ounce per ton of gold were mined between 1866 through 1887.

Subject to permitting approvals and a positive feasibility study, the goal of the Partners is to have Pine Grove

ready for production by early 2020. While Nevada is considered the most mining friendly jurisdiction in the

United States, the permit proces s remains lengthy and detailed. The Company’s timeline for the project is

challenging and management is working with the lead agency , the US Forest Service , and the a ppropriate

state and County agencies to meet the project timeline.

A Plan of Operations is progressing under the guidance of Welsh Hagen Associates and Kappes Cassiday and

Associates. Upon submission to the regulatory author ities, expected in August 2018, the Partners will then

be instructed on the information and detail that must be included in its Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS). Since 2009, Lincoln has contracted Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to conduct environmental baseline

studies at the project site. These studies have included wildlife , botanical and cultural surveys, geochemical

characterization studies of potential waste and mineralization, jurisdictional water studies, seeps and springs

survey, and meteorological data collection. A hydrological study is planned once exploratory water wells are

completed. This study will include a conceptual site model. In addition, archaeological and cultural resource

studies are ongoing.

The Partners are presently awaiting US Forest Service approval and final Bonding determination for

geotechnical work, which includes water well exploration drilling, condemnation drilling, auger drilling and

various test pits for engineering purposes. Oriented core drilling is also planned to determine pit wall stability

parameters.

Given the long lead time nature of permitting, the Partners to continue to focus its financial resources on

permitting. A recent drill program on the Wilson deposit and reconnaissance soil sampling in both the Wilson

and Wheeler deposit areas has demonstrated that the resource mineralization is open and other areas of the

property have excellent potential for finding gold mineralization. The resource expansion and exploration

potential at Pine Grove will continue to be tested once permitting work is well advanced.

be the operator. Paul Saxton is a director of both Lincoln Mining Corporation and Goldcliff Resources

Corporation.
