LKA Gold Receives Golden Wonder Exploration Results
GIG HARBOR, Wash., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LKA Gold Incorporated (OTCQB: LKAI) As previously announced, throughout the summer and fall of 2015, Kinross Gold USA conducted a detailed evaluation of surface geology surrounding LKA's Golden Wonder mine. A report detailing Kinross' findings, recently provided to LKA, indicates several prospective targets possessing similar characteristics to those found on surface above the previously mined high-grade ore shoot.
According to LKA President, Kye Abraham, "The Kinross team did a remarkably thorough job of combing our property for indicators that may direct us to the next high-grade ore shoot….or possibly several. We've always believed that, in deposits of this type, multiple ore shoots may exist. Identification of these new targets is exciting. They're situated within the zone we expected."
Additional exploration work focused on these targets will commence as permitting and logistic allow…most likely in the spring of 2016.
The views expressed in this press release are solely those of LKA upon examination of the Kinross report. More discussion on the LKA-Kinross exploration agreement and related subjects can be found in the "President's Email Updates" and "President's Archive" on the Company's website at: http://lkagold.com/Management_Team_-_LKA_Inter.html

About LKA's exploration program at its Golden Wonder Mine
Vein material is extracted as crews follow the volcanic vent system along the wall of the Uncompahgre Caldera. This method of exploratory mining and underground drilling proved successful in locating the first commercial ore body which yielded more than 133,000 ounces of gold from a single ore shoot measuring less than 10,000 cubic feet. From 1998, through the second quarter of 2006, the average grade of Golden Wonder ore was 16.01 ozs. (454 grams) gold per ton. LKA believes that additional such ore shoots may exist on its mining claims. Upon resuming exploratory operations in the first quarter of 2009, LKA has shipped twenty-nine bulk ore samples containing nearly 4,000 ounces of gold with a net value, after processing, of over $4.4 million. Investors are cautioned that the Company continues to generate substantial losses and additional funding and exploration work is required. A commercially viable ore reserve has yet to be established.
