Kiska Signs Letter Agreement on Copper Joe Project and Mobilizes Drill Program - Seite 2

The Copper Joe Project is a copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry prospect located in the Alaska Range 175 kilometers northwest of Anchorage. The project is situated within a richly endowed continental margin arc that is host to several other gold and/or copper deposits and prospects (i.e. Pebble, Whistler, Island Mountain, Mt. Estelle, Terra and Golden Zone). Even with this significant list of deposits, the region remains underexplored and underappreciated. An example that demonstrates the quality of opportunities in this belt is provided by Kiska's 2009 discovery drill hole at the Island Mountain porphyry prospect, 25 km to the northeast of Copper Joe, which returned 106 m of 1.22 g/t Au. That first hole led to the discovery of a significant gold-rich porphyry system that is almost completely exposed as a prominent and gossanous mountainside. As Island Mountain was in 2009, Copper Joe represents a similar opportunity where a large gossanous porphyry system is exposed and yet remains untested by drilling.
