LKA Continues to Evaluate Financing Options for Golden Wonder Exploration

GIG HARBOR, Wash.--()--LKA International, Inc. (OTCQB:LKAI) LKA continues to evaluate alternatives for financing expanded exploration plans at its Golden Wonder mine. Equity sales, convertible debt, credit lines and joint venture proposals are currently under consideration and additional offers are being sought.

The Exploration Program

As discussed in greater detail in a previous news release, LKA intends to deploy additional surface and underground mining personnel to expand its current exploration program. The Company believes that a comprehensive exploration program may produce sizeable project expansion opportunities at a relatively low cost.

As LKA’s consulting geologist, Delmer Brown noted, “….at the time of the author’s initial geological studies (Golden Wonder area) it became apparent that mineralization was widespread throughout a broad area above and beyond the recognized Golden Wonder vein structure.” [A copy of Brown’s report will be made available upon request.]

The Company estimates the cost of this expanded effort will be $2-3 million over the next three years depending upon results. A significant portion of this expense is expected to be offset by proceeds from on-going, exploratory ore production.
