Kiska Metals Announces Drilling to Commence at Copper Joe - Seite 2

The newly-appreciated Morning Star prospect occurs 2.2 km to the southwest of Evening Star in a relatively low-lying area mostly covered by glacial till. The Morning Star is defined by narrow outcrop exposures in creek gulleys that contain chalcopyrite mineralization in EDM halos and B-style quartz veins over a 400 metre-wide area. Previous grab samples collected from this area returned significant copper and gold values. Morning Star has yet to be tested by geophysical surveys or drilling, and will be further investigated by geologists in 2016.

The technical content of this document was reviewed and approved by Michael Roberts, Ph.D., P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for Kiska Metals Corporation, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
