quitclaim deed in relation to the Oro Cruz property, at which time
control of the Oro Cruz property will revert to Lincoln; and

expenses) to be split equally between the Parties
Currently, a sale of the La Bufa property is not imminent. The Company is pleased that the Parties have reached a settlement which will provide certainty for Lincoln's operations and minimize the lengthy and costly arbitration process.
The Properties
Oro Cruz
The Oro Cruz property is located in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains, southern California. The property is approximately 2 miles from the American Girl and Padre-Madre gold mines (past producers) and approximately 14 miles southeast of the Mesquite gold mine (in production). Oro Cruz was partially mined by open-pit and underground methods during the early 1990's but was closed owing to low gold prices. The Oro Cruz data base includes 481 drill holes, 13,000 blast holes, and nearly 3,000 underground samples. A NI 43-101 Technical Report was completed on Oro Cruz by Tetra Tech Inc. and was filed on September 21, 2010 on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The Technical Report estimates an inferred resource of 341,800 ozs gold grading 2.20 grams per tonne (0.064 oz per ton). Gold mineralization remains exposed in the Oro Cruz pit and underground. Lincoln plans to conduct confirmation drilling of the known gold mineralization in an effort to upgrade Inferred resources to Indicated and Measured categories. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has permitting jurisdiction on the property. To assist in permitting, Lincoln has retained Mr. Richard Grabowski, consultant and past Deputy State Director, Energy and Minerals for the BLM in California (1997-2010).
La Bufa
The La Bufa gold-silver property is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental in southwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. Lincoln controls concessions surrounding the Rosario mine with past production in the area estimated at 2 million ozs gold and 28 million ozs silver from an epithermal quartz-breccia vein system. During 2011, Lincoln, drilled targets developed by geophysics and surface sampling on the Company's northern concessions. Twenty (20) core holes were completed for 5,091 meters. Drilling confirmed the existence of strong quartz-bearing structures and anomalous gold and silver.
