Lincoln Gold Mining Inc. has formally engaged Welsh Hagen Associates as Engineers of Record for its Nevada gold assets, launching a structured three-phase engineering program to advance the Bell Mountain project toward construction readiness.

The initial phase of the program focuses on powerline review, preliminary waterline design, well testing, and evaluation of off-site carbon stripping. Subsequent phases will address detailed facility and process engineering, pit shell refinement, reclamation and bonding, air permitting, construction scheduling, and EPCM selection.

To streamline the work, Lincoln Gold is building upon technical foundations established in its updated Preliminary Economic Assessment, Mine Plan of Operations, and Water Pollution Control Permit studies. In parallel, the company is re-engaging with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation to re-establish technical and regulatory dialogue.

The engineering team combines multidisciplinary capabilities under Welsh Hagen alongside geological oversight from Consulting Geologist Doug Willis, supporting both Bell Mountain and the Pine Grove project within Lincoln Gold's Nevada portfolio.

“Formalizing our relationship with Welsh Hagen and bringing both John Welsh and Doug Willis onto our technical team represents an important milestone for Lincoln Gold. Welsh Hagen has been involved with our Nevada assets for many years and possesses a deep understanding of the Bell Mountain and Pine Grove projects. The multidisciplinary engineering capabilities of John Welsh, combined with Doug's geological expertise, provide the technical leadership required as we advance Bell Mountain toward development.”

“One of the key advantages we have today is the significant body of technical work already completed at Bell Mountain. By building upon the updated PEA, the Mine Plan of Operations and the Water Pollution Control Permit engineering work, we can focus our efforts on efficiently advancing the Project. We've established a clear engineering roadmap, and we look forward to updating shareholders as we complete each milestone in the months ahead.”

— Ian Rogers, Chairman and CEO
