Kiska Sittin' Pretty

CHRIS THOMPSON, Haywood Securities (04/29/2010)
"Kiska Metals' primary focus is its 100%-owned Whistler gold-copper deposit located approximately 160 km northwest of Anchorage, Alaska. Other interests include a consolidated portfolio of gold and copper projects in Alaska, B.C., Nevada, Mexico and Australia. The Whistler project consists of 448 sq km of Alaska state mining claims and hosts numerous targets. . .as well as the Whistler Zone, which hosts a NI 43-101 resource of 5.75 million oz AuEq.

. . .Kiska commenced a 1,500 m core-drilling program testing five regional targets located on the same property that hosts the flagship Whistler deposit. Highlights from the drill program included intersections of 106.9 m grading 1.22 g/t Au at the Island Mountain target, and 471.6 m grading 0.93 g/t AuEq at the Raintree target.

For 2010, Kiska has outlined a further drill program of 15 holes (5,500 m) testing regional targets identified from induced polarization, mapping, geochemistry and airborne magnetic data. Whistler (5.8 million oz AuEq) is Kiska's near-term focus, leading up to a potential Kennecott back-in for about $25 million in mid-2010. With its comprehensive portfolio of properties in politically safe and mining-friendly jurisdictions, and leadership by the industry-respected Rimfire Minerals exploration team, Kiska is a well-managed company."
