    VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - July 06, 2016) - Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: KSK) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement whereby Aben Resources Ltd. ("Aben") has been granted the option to earn a 100% interest in the Company's RDN Property as part of a significant land consolidation in the heart of BC's Golden Triangle.

    "The amalgamation of Kiska's RDN Property, which is host to multiple precious metal VMS and epithermal showings over a >20 km strike extent of prospective rocks in the prolific Golden Triangle, with several similar projects over a 40 km trend, creates a new and exciting district-scale (23,000 hectares), high-grade gold exploration project (the "Forrest Kerr Project")," states Dr. Mike Roberts, V.P. Exploration for Kiska, "This new project will be driven by a technical team with decades of boots-on-the-ground experience in the Golden Triangle, led by a highly-regarded management team and a Board with a track-record of success. This is a great opportunity for Kiska to maintain upside exposure to the RDN project through a royalty interest, and a larger district play through its shareholding in Aben."

    The Forrest Kerr Project is host to multiple VMS and epithermal prospects over a 40 km strike extent of Hazelton and Stuhini Group stratigraphy, including rocks of the Betty Creek and Salmon River Formation, both correlative to the host rocks of Pretium's Brucejack deposit and Barrick's Eskay Creek deposit, respectively. In addition, the Project straddles the north-south striking Forrest Kerr Fault, a regional-scale fault system that is interpreted to be a significant control on precious metal mineralization in the belt. The Forrest Kerr Project also has excellent access to infrastructure; the northern portion of the property is traversed by the Galore Creek access road within 25 km of Highway 37, and the southern part of the property is accessed through recently constructed roads associated with the McLymont and Forrest Kerr hydro-electric projects.

    One of several significant prospects includes the Wedge Zone (RDN Property), defined by a 2600 by 800 metre gold-silver-arsenic-lead-antimony soil anomaly that overlies volcanic rocks and mudstones interpreted to represent a shallow marine setting. Multiple high-grade gold surface showings within this soil anomaly are comprised of stockwork quartz-sulphide veins associated with intense sericite alteration. Shallow drilling of these showings in the early 1990's returned high grade gold intercepts, such as 101.0 g/t Au over 1.95 metres and 137.8 g/t Au over 0.85 metres (RG91-21; true width unknown), yet many of these intercepts, interpreted to be possible feeders zones to a precious metal VMS system, have yet to be followed-up.
