Lincoln Mining Corporation announced that two drill rigs are presently operating at its Bell Mountain gold-silver property in Churchill County, Nevada. Lincoln controls the project through a purchase agreement and assignment of an option to earn 100% interest in the property. Core drilling for metallurgical samples began on April 6 and remains in progress. Core drilling for geotechnical data will follow. Infill reverse-circulation drilling to upgrade the resource confidence level began on April 15 and also remains in progress. Subsequent data will be included in a Pre-Feasibility Report planned for later this year. It is the Company's intent to advance the project to production. Planned Drilling: A total of 35 holes are planned for an estimated total of 8,780 ft (2,825 m). Drilling is expected to be completed sometime in May. Resources: Gold-silver resources at Bell Mountain are present in three deposits, the Spurr, Varga and Sphinx. At a cutoff grade of 0.006 opt gold, these deposits host measured and indicated resources of 10,760,000 tons grading 0.015 opt gold and 0.514 opt silver containing a total of 165,018 ozs gold and 5,533,907 ozs silver. At the same cutoff grade, inferred resources are 2,255,000 tons grading 0.013 opt gold and 0.387 opt silver containing a total of 29,550 ozs gold and 872,411 ozs silver. Lincoln believed that the three deposits at Bell Mountain are well suited to open-pit mining and heap leach processing.

Lincoln Mining Corporation announced that its has received the necessary permit from the BLM for its planned drill program at the Bell Mountain gold-silver property in Churchill County, Nevada. Lincoln controls the Bell Mountain project through a purchase agreement and assignment of an option to earn 100% of the property. Drilling will consist of core drilling for metallurgical samples, oriented core drilling for geotechnical data required for pit designs, and infill reverse-circulation drilling to upgrade the resource confidence level. Data obtained from the drill program will be included in a Pre-Feasibility Report and will be used to obtain its production permits. A total of 35 holes are planned for an estimated total of 8,780 ft (2,825 m).
