LKA Gold Initiates High Resolution Mapping of Underground Workings At Golden Wonder Mine

LAKE CITY, Colo., Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LKA Gold Incorporated (OTCQB:LKAI) reports that it recently engaged Maptek™ of Denver Colorado to conduct a detailed, 3-D map/model of the Company's Golden Wonder mine using its proprietary laser scanning technology, I-Site. Once completed, a high-resolution view will emerge showing the previously extracted vein structures within the mine and their relationship to the surface and previous production zone…an ore shoot which produced more than 135,000 ounces of gold at an average ore grade of 16 ounces (454 grams) gold per ton.

According to LKA President, Kye Abraham, "This is a huge step forward in our exploration program. Maptek's I-Site technology will give us our first detailed view of the high-grade structures we've been pursuing and how they relate to each other and the previous production zone. It will also help us locate close-in targets and potentially provide us with a road map to the next ore shoot."

On the date of this release, Maptek engineers have completed the initial underground survey and expect to integrate the results, with surface mapping and intuitive software for delivery to LKA in the next 30 days.

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 extracted and/or shipped (sold) thirty bulk samples of crushed vein material containing over 4,200 ounces of gold with a net value, after processing, of over $4.6 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 and there can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in this regard.
