PART I
Item 1. Exchange Act Reporting History
A. Lincoln Mining Corporation (the "Company") first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") on or about August 18, 2009, being the date that it acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Lincoln Gold Corporation ("Lincoln Gold") in exchange for the issuance of common shares of the Company to the common shareholders of Lincoln Gold pursuant to plan of arrangement transaction completed under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the "Transaction"). Lincoln Gold first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act on the date that was sixty days after it filed a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to register its common shares, no par value under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Registration Statement on Form 10-SB was initially filed with the Commission on April 20, 1999. The Company's common shares, no par value (the "Common Shares") were deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on August 18, 2009 concurrently with the completion of its acquisition of Lincoln Gold as a result of the operation of Rule 12g-3(a) of the Exchange Act.
B. Lincoln Gold, as the predecessor the Company, has filed or submitted all reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding rules of the Commission for the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F, including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. In accordance with Rule 12h-6(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, the reporting history of Lincoln Gold, whose reporting obligations the Company has assumed pursuant to Rule 12g-3 of the Exchange Act may be taken into account when considering the reporting history of the Company in determining whether the Company meets the prior reporting requirement under Rule 12h-6(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. Based on the reporting history of Lincoln Gold, as referred to above, the Company has filed or submitted all reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding rules of the Commission for the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F, including at least o ne annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.

B. The date of the initial listing of the Common Shares on the TSX-V was May 15, 2007. The Common Shares have been listed on the TSX-V since such date.

C. To the best knowledge of the Company, for the period commencing on August 18, 2008 and ended on and including August 18, 2009 (the "Recent Trading Period"), the percentage of worldwide trading in the Common Shares that occurred in the Primary Jurisdiction was 100%, and as such the primary trading market is larger than the trading market for the Common Shares in the United States during the same period.
Item 4. Comparative Trading Volume Data
A. The first day of the Recent Trading Period used to meet the requirements of Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i) is August 18, 2008 and the last day of such Recent Trading Period is August 18, 2009.
B. During the Recent Trading Period, the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares: (a) in the United States was nil Common Shares, and (b) on a worldwide basis was 2,143 Common Shares.
C. During the Recent Trading Period, the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares in the United States as a percentage of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares worldwide was approximately nil%.
D. The Company has not delisted the Common Shares from a national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system in the United States.
E. The Company has not terminated a sponsored American depository receipt (ADR) facility regarding the Common Shares.
