Ute-Ulay Project Participants Receive History Colorado's 2018 Historic Preservation Award
GIG HARBOR, Wash., Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LKA Gold Inc. (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.

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.
