LINCOLN MINING DRILLS 50 FEET OF 5.28 GPT GOLD,
IDENTIFIES NEW UPPER GOLD ZONE, AND EXTENDS KNOWN MINERALIZATION
AT PINE GROVE, NEVADA
February 9, 2017
Vancouver, British Columbia – Paul Saxton, President of Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX-V: LMG (“Lincoln” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received all drill hole assay results from its step out drilling
program on the northern portion of the Wilson gold deposit at its Pine Grove gold property in Lyon County,
Nevada. Drilling was co nducted to expand known gold mineralization northward where the Wilson deposit
remains open. The drilling program consisted of 14 reverse -circulation drill holes for a total footage of 6,962.5
ft. (2,132.6 m). Most holes were drilled on approximately 100 ft. (30.5 m) centers along two step out fences.
Seven of the 14 drill holes encountered significant gold mineralization. All holes encountered detectable gold.
The successful seven holes define a mineralized strike length of at least 510 ft. (155.5 m) with gold mineralization
dipping northeastward at 10° to 20°. The principal host rock is Jurassic granodiorite which contains low dipping,
stacked gold zones that are 25 to 50 ft. (7.6 to 15.2 m) in thickness and begin as shallow as 55 ft. (16.8 m). Rhyolite
porphyry, feldspar porphyry, and dacite dikes are in immediate proximity to the mineralized zones and parallel
to mineralization. Five of the drill holes (WL -105, 107, 108, 112, & 117) have intersected a new, shallow, upper
gold zone hosted in the granodiorite. This new zone appears open down dip for at least 300 to 400 ft. northward
towards the well mineralized hole (WS-17) drilled by Teck Resources in 1991.
The table below lists some of the si gnificant drill hole intercepts ( not true thicknesse s). To view the entire
summary of drill hole intercepts, along with the drill hole location map, please go to the Pine Grove Property

High-grade gold was encountered in drill hole WL-114 to include a 5 ft. drill sample from 205 to 210 ft. that
assayed 0.505 opt Au (1.5 m @ 17.3 gpt Au); another sample from 225 to 230 ft. ran 0.604 opt Au (1.5 m @ 20.7
gpt Au). The Wilson drill hole data base contains thirty 5 -ft. drill hole interce pts ≥ 0.20 opt Au (≥6.86 gpt Au)
including two samples grading 1.17 and 1.44 opt Au (40.12 and 49.38 gpt Au) (not true thicknesses). Lincoln may
encounter future high-grade drill hole intercepts as suggested by reported high-grade zones in historical reports
and a history of past high-grade production.
Historic mining at Pine Grove produced roughly 240,000 ounces in gold from selected high-grade zones (Jackson,
1996). The Wilson and Wheeler mines were largely worked by lessees (Hill, 1915b). Some 150,000 ounces were
produced from the Wilson mine, with about 100,000 ounces produced by the Wheeler mine (Stone, 2007, 2008).
Grades reportedly averaged 1.4 oz Au/t at Wilson (104,046 tons of ore), and 1.3 oz Au/t at Wheeler (74,531 tons
of ore). (Amended & Restated Technical Report, February 4, 2015 by Telesto).
Pine Grove is controlled 100% by Lincoln Mining Corp. and its joint venture partner, Goldcliff R esource
Corporation.
