GIG HARBOR, Wash., Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LKA
Gold Incorporated (OTCQB: LKAI) reports that it is one of eight private and public entities to receive History
Colorado's 2018 State Historic Preservation Officer's Award (a Stephen H. Hart Award for Historical Preservation). LKA received the award for its participation in the
stabilizing and preservation of one of Colorado's only remaining, historic, mining camps.
LKA donated the seven-acre Ute-Ulay Mill and townsite to Hinsdale

conducted by the EPA. Other project participants and contributors included Hinsdale County,
Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Colorado's Division of
Reclamation Mining & Safety and BLM. The town of Lake City and three historic preservation
groups also made important contributions.

attention for their historic significance. On October 26, 2017 the Ute-Ulay Mine and Mill site was
listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the Department of the Interior.
According to LKA Chairman, Kye Abraham, "We are pleased and thankful to be recognized for our role in this effort to
preserve a truly iconic symbol of Colorado's mining heritage. It's gratifying
