Item 2.04  Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.


On June 1, 2011 (the “Due Date”), LKA International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), missed the principal payments that were then due on its convertible promissory notes in favor of C.K. Cooper & Company, Inc. (“C.K. Cooper”), and Sonata Multi-Manager Fund LP.  As of that date the principal amount owing on each note totaled $56,000 and $186,000, respectively.  Under the terms of




both notes, interest began accruing at the rate of 15% per annum as a result of the Company’s failure to pay the notes in full by the Due Date.


On June 18, 2011, the Company received formal written notice from C.K. Cooper that C.K. Cooper considered the notes to be in default.
