![Kiska Metals Corporation: Regains Control of the Kliyul Project](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Kliyul is a prospective, early-stage, near-infrastructure gold-copper porphyry project in BC that is 100% owned by Kiska. The Kliyul property is host to multiple porphyry centres over a 4 km-long trend as evidenced by mapped alteration, anomalous surface geochemistry and discrete geophysical anomalies. In addition, proven gold-copper porphyry mineralization has been drilled at the main Kliyul Zone, which remains open to the north, east and southeast and to depth. Discussions with a potential new partner are currently underway, and it is anticipated that there will be several other interested parties.
"Management believes it is in the best interest of Kiska shareholders to seek continuous advancement of the Kliyul project" stated Grant Ewing, President and CEO of Kiska. "And while it is unfortunate to lose Teck as a partner, Kiska is excited to regain control of the Kliyul project, and is confident that there will be strong interest from other major mining companies." "Kiska would like to thank Teck for the work programs it completed during the Agreement. The work expanded areas of known mineralization at the Kliyul Zone and outlined several other target areas that are prospective for further exploration. In addition, we would also like to acknowledge Teck's commitment to socially and environmentally responsible exploration at Kliyul. Kiska aims to build upon the positive relationships that have been developed with local First Nations and other communities of interest as it advances the project," added Grant Ewing, President and CEO of Kiska.
