Kiska Metals Corporation, Monday announced the discovery of mineralized zones in the Mountain Island, which lies about 23 kilometers south of the deposit resource area of Whistler. After a five-hole drilling is completed in the year 2009 drilling program returned 0.68 g / t gold ore for more than 382.9 meters. Back pit the top interval, drilled 150.0 meters long, on average 0.72 g / t gold and less than 106.9 meters 280.0 meters crossing to the edge of the hole average of 1.22 g / t gold. Copper results pending and will be announced when received. Island Mountain is different from the target porphyry deposits that host Whistler a NI43-101 resource filled show 1:31 million gold equivalent ounces and inferred resources of 4:44 million ounces of gold.

“The discovery of gold ore in the Island Mountain on our first hole of this program is very encouraging for the company,” said Jason Weber, President and CEO of Kiska. “Ingredients of gold ore was getting stronger in depth, with the hole ending in a few strongest gold mineralization encountered. This shows that there is excellent potential to expand on these results both in depth and laterally. The 2009-2010 program in the project Whistler was designed to test targets distal to the Whistler resources available to assess the potential for a larger overall project area Whistler”.
