While LKA is still in the process of proving the extension(s) of previous high-grade zones within the Golden Wonder mine, gold produced during the current year has more than offset the Company???s direct exploration expenses for the same period. LKA expects ore grades to increase as its exploration program progresses.

About the Golden Wonder Mine

From 1998 through the second quarter of 2006 the mine produced over 133,701 oz. (82% of which came during the period of 2002-2006) from ore with an average grade of 14.73 oz. gold per ton. Upon resuming exploratory operations in 2009, LKA has shipped four bulk ore samples to Teck, Kinross & Yukon Nevada Gold (Jerritt Canyon).
