alliance with Lefebure Geologic Ltd. Dave Lefebure brings 30 years

form this alliance with Lefebure Geologic Ltd." stated Mike
Roberts, VP Exploration of Kiska. "Dave and the Kiska team share
the same enthusiasm for the project area due to the regional
geology, continued infrastructure development and progressive
relationships with First Nations. The alliance is capitalizing on
the opportunity to prioritize and acquire projects in preparation
for the next upward market cycle."
