Vancouver, BC -- December 19, 2014: Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the Whistler royalty transactions announced on December 17, 2014, with net proceeds to Kiska of US$1.1 million.
Kiska acquired all of the interests of an underlying 1.5% NSR royalty holder (including the advance royalty payment obligations of US$50,000 per year) for the core claims comprising the Whistler project in return for a cash payment of US$750,000 and the issuance of 2,000,000 share purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Kiska at a price of $0.05 for a period of five years, subject to vesting over a period of 18 months.
The Company also granted a 0.75% NSR royalty interest on the entire Whistler project to a private equity fund for a purchase price of US$1.85 million. The Whistler project is now covered by an aggregate 2.75% NSR royalty, held entirely by the private equity fund. The aggregate NSR royalty is subject to a buy down provision whereby Kiska can reduce the NSR royalty to 2% upon payment of US$5 million on or before the due date of the first royalty payment.
