VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire – Nov. 3, 2009) - Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska") (TSX VENTURE:KSK) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement through which Millrock Resources may acquire a 100% interest in Kiska's Uncle Sam property, located approximately 76 kilometres southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. Under the terms of the agreement, Millrock will conduct US$2,700,000 in exploration and make cash and share payments totaling US$200,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, over a four year period, including $40,000 immediately upon approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Uncle Sam gold project is an intrusion-related gold system hosted in rocks similar in age to those which host the Pogo gold mine, located approximately 60 kilometres to the east. The Pogo deposit was discovered in the mid 1990's and hosts over 5 million ounces of gold. The Uncle Sam project exhibits extensive surface gold geochemistry anomalies and previous drilling returned a highlight intersection of 10.6 metres averaging 6.1 g/t gold within a total of 18 individual drill intersections of greater than 1 g/t gold over drilled widths ranging from 3 to 12 m.

This marks the first property agreement signed since the formation of Kiska through the merger of Rimfire Minerals Corporation and Geoinformatics Exploration, which created an extensive portfolio of highly prospective gold and copper projects throughout North America and Australia. With Kiska's exploration team currently focused on the advancement of the wholly-owned Whistler copper-gold porphyry project in Alaska, value for the remainder of the combined property portfolio will be optimized through strategic partnerships, option/joint ventures and property dispositions.
