About LKA and the Golden Wonder Mine
From 1998 through the second quarter of 2006, the Golden Wonder mine produced over 133,701 ounces (82% of which came during the period of 2002-2006) from ore with an average grade of 16.01 ozs. gold per ton. Upon resuming operations (exploration) in the first quarter of 2009, LKA has shipped seven bulk ore samples containing more than 1,200 ounces of gold. The ore grades encountered during LKA's exploratory production have averaged approximately 2 ounces (56.7 grams) gold per ton. Historically, the high-grade nature of Golden Wonder ore has allowed for "direct shipment" with no milling or concentrating required. Investors are cautioned that a commercially viable ore reserve has yet to be established and there can be no guarantee that one will be.
