[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 22, 2017) - Lincoln Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE: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.

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 geo...
