UNITED STATES


Lincoln Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:LMG) ("Lincoln" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced private
placement.


The Company issued a total of 5,376,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per
share for total proceeds of $268,800. No warrants or finder's fees were issued
or paid in connection with this private placement.


Directors and officers of the Company purchased an aggregate of 2,776,000 Shares
under the private placement, and accordingly, the private placement constituted
to that extent a "related party transaction" under applicable Canadian
securities laws. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21
days before the expected closing of the private placement as the details of the
private placement and the participation therein by related parties of the
Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished
to close the private placement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.


All securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four
month hold period in Canada expiring on March 1, 2013, in addition to such other
restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions
outside Canada.


Lincoln intends to use the proceeds raised from the private placement to advance
the work programs on its mineral projects and for general working capital
purposes.
