VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 09/05/12 — Kiska Metals Corporation („Kiska“ or the „Company“) (TSX VENTURE: KSK) reports on the activities of the 2012 program at the 100% owned Whistler Project, 150 kilometres northwest of Anchorage, Alaska. The objective of the 2012 program is to advance the Whistler Deposit by completion of the following studies:
Management anticipates reporting on these studies through Q4 2012 and into the first quarter of 2013.
„Since 2009, Kiska-s efforts have focused on the discovery and exploration of multiple porphyry systems on the Whistler property,“ stated Jason Weber, P.Geo., President and CEO of Kiska. „Our focus has now moved to the deposit itself as we begin the studies necessary to unlock the value of this resource and take the initial steps to advance it.“
In addition to the work at the Whistler Deposit, detailed geological studies continue at Island Mountain. The work undertaken will contribute to an improved geological model that will aid in the expansion of the Breccia Zone mineralization and to prioritize targets of other porphyry centres at Island Mountain.
