LINCOLN MINING ANNOUNCES RESOURCES AT ORO CRUZ PROPERTY

VANCOUVER, Sept. 21 /CNW/ - Lincoln Mining Corporation, TSX-V: LMG ("Lincoln" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received a National Instrument 43-101 inferred resource estimate of 341,800 total ounces for the Company's Oro Cruz project located in the Tumco mining district within the Cargo Muchacho Mountains of southeastern California.

The resource estimate is presented in an independent technical report (the "Technical Report") prepared for Lincoln by Tetra Tech Inc. of Golden, Colorado.  Detailed historical data, based on over 17,000 surface and underground samples, were provided from a number of professional sources and have formed a coherent, well-founded indication of gold mineralization.  Ordinary kriging was used to estimate gold grades in 10x10x5 ft blocks.  Approximately 90% of the resources are in the main Oro Cruz deposit which is a shallow-dipping tabular body with good to excellent continuity of mineralization.  A resource summary is presented in the table below.

PAST PRODUCTION

As discussed in the Technical Report, during the 1995-1996 production year, over 60,000 ounces of gold were produced at Oro Cruz by MK Gold as part of the American Girl Joint Venture.  Ore was hauled and treated by heap leach and milling at the nearby American Girl gold mine.  Production came from open pit and underground operations.  When gold prices collapsed, the Oro Cruz mine was shut down, leaving substantial gold mineralization in place.  Prior to shut down, MK Gold was in the midst of a pit wall pushback for the next round of open pit production.

Gold mineralization remains open at depth in the main Oro Cruz gold deposit.  Previous exploration work has identified at least 10 exploration targets.  At least five satellite gold zones have been identified and offer potential for increasing gold resources. 

The Technical Report supports a 2011 work plan including a twin-hole drilling program (surface and underground drilling), bulk density and metallurgical testing and preparation of an updated resource estimate with the objective of converting inferred resources to the indicated and measured categories, subject to the exploration results.  The total budget for the program is approximately US$770,500.  Lincoln intends to undertake the exploration program, subject to financing.

Mr. John Rozelle, P.G. of Tetra Tech and the author of the Technical Report is an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and along with Mr. Jeffrey Wilson, Executive Vice President and Qualified Person for Lincoln, reviewed and approved the disclosure of the mineral resource estimate and other scientific and technical information contained in this news release.

A copy of the Technical Report is being filed by Lincoln as required by NI 43-101 and will be available under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).
