Lode-Star Mining Inc. 2016 Progress

CYPRESS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 17, 2016 / Lode-Star Mining Inc. LSMG continues progress under its '2016 Go Forward Project' with the project's goal of commencing mining operations in late 2016. Continuing what has been a 15 year, $5,000,000 process, the '2016 Go Forward Project' phases prior to mining operations include: permit submission & approval, property preparation, and financing.

"The Company's progress in the permitting process is proceeding according to plan, with a Q&A session with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) in December 2015 yielding positive feedback. NDEP has endorsed, in principle, the Company's desire to store its waste rock underground and if the waste rock is needed to be brought to the surface we may backfill and remediate our historic abandoned mine shafts. This will save the company the significant time and expense of having to build a surface waste facility. Our next scheduled meeting is planned for early March 2016. We continue to work towards permit submission by mid 2016," said Thomas Temkin, the Company's Chief Geologist.

As the Company enters the financing phase of our '2016 Go Forward Project', it's important to note the foundational aspects of the Company's 2015 accomplishments:

- The Company acquired an interest in the Goldfield Bonaza property from Lode-Star Gold, Inc. on December 11, 2014.
- December 2014 through January 2015, the company made management changes to Mark Walmesley as the Company's Chairman & CEO, and Thomas Temkin as Chief Geologist, COO, and Director.
- Beginning 2015 the Company, for a period of 6 months, contracted the services of Dan Capparelli for guidance for development of its business and mine plan for the Red Hills and Church high-grade vein zones.
- In April the Company contracted Rubicon Environmental to lead its Permitting program.
- During August 2015, Management engaged Hydrogeologica for hydrology and Tierra Group for engineering thus rounding out its permitting team.
- Management completes corporate governance changes by December 2015, including DTCC eligibility submission, PCAOB auditor change, relocation of its principle office to Cypress, TX, filing of all delinquent U.S. tax returns, and filing of all Canadian tax returns.
- In December 2015 the Company began preliminary talks with Nevada Department of Environmental Protection.
- In December 2015 the Company engaged McClelland Labs to perform its Metallurgy. This is now completed, indicating an 85% recovery rate from conventional milling.
