The resource expansion drill program was conducted on the Wilson patented claims. Goldcliff Resource Corporation, which is earning in to a 40% interest in the Pine Grove project, funded the drill program designed to extend mineralization from the last line of drilling to the northern boundary of the patented claims. Lincoln's technical personnel managed the recent drill program.
Thirteen vertical reverse-circulation drill holes were completed in two fences and an additional angle hole was drilled near the southern boundary of the patented claims block for required geochemical information. The first fence of holes stepped out 100 feet beyond the northern limit of previous drilling and the second fence stepped out a further 100 feet to the northern edge of the patented claims boundary. The Wilson patented claims are surrounded by located claims which are also part of the Pine Grove joint venture. All holes intersected favorable granodiorite host rock which is a host rock for mineralization at Pine Grove, including some zones with conspicuous iron oxides. All assays are pending.
