BACKGROUND

Kiska Metals Corporation (the “Company” or “Kiska”) is a mineral exploration company with a large portfolio of assets anchored by the Whistler Project, a multi-million ounce gold resource in Alaska. In addition to Alaska, the Company concentrates exploration efforts in British Columbia, Canada, and Australia, and has property interests in Nevada, USA and Yukon Territory, Canada. The Company strives for the highest technical expertise in exploration combining an innovative targeting approach developed by the Company since its inception with more traditional exploration methods. Kiska is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, trading under the symbol KSK.

Over the past several years, the Company has acquired a portfolio of exploration projects from its own exploration activities and under the Master Strategic Alliance Agreement (“MSAA”) with Kennecott Exploration Company (“Kennecott”). When Kiska acquired Rimfire Minerals Corporation in 2009, a large portfolio of early stage exploration projects was added to the Company. At the same time, the Company acquired management with experience and expertise in deriving value from projects through option or joint venture arrangements.

HIGHLIGHTS – Q2 2013

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $1.3 million ($0.02 per share) and net income of $0.4 million ($.004 per share) respectively. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million at June 30, 2013.

During the quarter, Inmet Mining (Australia) Pty. Ltd. funded an exploration program consisting of airborne magnetics and radiometrics surveys to cover the entire 150 square kilometre Barmedman property in New South Wales, Australia. A ground-based magnetics survey was also undertaken to identify felsic intrusive rocks prospective for porphyry deposits. Results are pending.

Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc., signed an exploration agreement to explore the Hilltop Property for barite minerals on the Company's Hilltop Property in Lander County, Nevada.

Partner Laurion Minerals conducted a prospecting program at the Midlothian Property, Ontario. Select samples returned 12,700 g/t gold and 296 g/t gold from a 1 metre wide quartz vein. Subsequent follow-up chip samples yielded 0.3 m of 4,810 g/t (140 oz/ton), 0.8 m of 2,060 g/t (60 oz/ton) and 0.95 m of 510 g/t (14.9 oz/ton) gold.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

For the remainder of 2013, management expects to take the same approach to exploration and cash conservation as was taken in 2012. With the prolonged downturn in the resource equity markets, management has taken steps to reduce expenditures and reduce overhead including staff reductions, addressing office (Vancouver) and storage/warehousing (Alaska) rental costs and closure of the Whistler exploration camp. Further austerity measures will be taken during the third quarter, including the reduction of the number of claims held in certain projects to reduce property holding costs. A focus will be placed on finding option/joint venture partners to advance the Company's robust portfolio of early stage projects. This process is underway, with the Baker Hughes Hilltop property agreement as an example of one such deal. Based on the external interest in Kiska’s projects management expects to have new partners funding exploration on Kiska’s properties in the near term.

Management is assessing its options with respect to a large portfolio of royalties held on properties in Canada (British Columbia, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Ontario), Ukraine and New Zealand. Each royalty is under evaluation and the process may result in the sale of some or the entire royalty portfolio. Management is also investigating other strategic options which could potentially result in the acquisition of assets complementary to its existing portfolio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Alaska Properties

Whistler Project

[kskmda2013q2003.gif] The Whistler Property, consisting of 884 claims covering 135,203 acres (54,715 hectares), is located 160 kilometers northwest of Anchorage, Alaska in the Yentna Mining District. The property is owned 100% by the Corporation, subject to an underlying 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) to MF2, LLC. In addition, some of the claims are subject to a 1.5% NSR to the original owner, which can be bought down to 0.5% by a US$10 million payment. Moreover, Teck owns a 2% net profit interest (NPI) over all of these claims.

The Whistler property can be broadly defined into the following prospects;

Whistler Deposit;

Whistler Orbit (50km² area in the vicinity and surrounding the Whistler Deposit);

Island Mountain;

Muddy Creek.

Since 2009, exploration has focused on the Whistler Orbit and Island Mountain targets in an effort to add additional deposits to the property resource base. Since 2007, the Company has drilled 199 conventional and shallow scout holes (56,072 metres) on the Whistler Property.

The Company is assessing options for moving the project forward in the current market conditions, including securing a partner to fund further exploration and development of the Whistler Project.

1. Reported within a conceptual pit shell (45 degree pit slope angle) and based on a cut-off grade of $7.5/t adjusted for metallurgical recovery and offsite costs.

2. Gold equivalent grade calculation was based on 75 percent recovery for gold and silver; 85 percent recovery for copper ; US$990 per ounce gold, US$15.40 per ounce silver and US$2.91 per pound of copper.

3. Totals may vary due to rounding.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Whistler project as defined by NI43-101.

Recent work on the project has focused on the Whistler Deposit to gain a better understanding of the geological characteristics of the deposit and to begin assessing the engineering aspects of the project. Management intends to continue this work as market conditions permit and is considering a detailed review of the Whistler Deposit resource estimate in the next quarter.

Geological data collected by Kiska and previous workers was compiled and reinterpreted leading to the revision of the Whistler Deposit geological model. This included relogging drill core within the deposit as well as limited mechanized trenching (one trench, 111 metres in length) to enhance and confirm the geological model. This revised model will be important for targeting future exploration holes, resource updates and for use in ongoing engineering studies.

AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd, worked with Kiska’s consulting metallurgist to investigate the metallurgical performance of Whistler mineralization. Representative samples were submitted for open circuit and locked-cycle testing to assess metal recoveries and to help determine potential ore processing flow sheets. Composite samples were collected from two holes (WH08-08 and WH10-19) in the Whistler Deposit. Recoveries of 91.9% for copper and 73.1% for gold were obtained from locked cycle flotation tests of the WH08-08 sample (feed grade of 0.11% copper and 0.43 g/t gold). The test produced a concentrate grading 24.5% copper and 79.3 g/t gold.

Similar results were obtained from locked cycle flotation tests of WH10-19 mineralization (feed grade of 0.22% copper and 0.53 g/t gold). Recoveries of 91.9% were obtained for copper and 67.7% for gold. This test produced a concentrate grading 26.2% copper and 46.5 g/t gold.

Knight Piesold Ltd. has been engaged to study the options and design for potential power and access routes, mine site infrastructure, pit design and mining/processing options. These studies are not yet complete. Management will advance these studies at a pace appropriate for current market conditions.

During the period, Mine Development Associates (MDA) was engaged to advise management in a review of the Whistler Deposit resource estimate. This included a site visit and examination of core at Whistler and other prospects on the property, including Island Mountain. Together with Kiska’s technical staff,

MDA is preparing a report with recommendations for future work to revise and improve the quality of the Whistler resource estimate.

Whistler Orbit:

The Whistler Deposit sits within a cluster of porphyry centres in what is termed the Whistler Orbit. Prospects within the Orbit include Raintree West, Raintree North, Raintree South and Rainmaker, which all share similarities to the Whistler deposit with respect to host rock, style of mineralization, gold-copper grades and alteration patterns. These targets are all located within a few kilometres of the Whistler Deposit.

[kskmda2013q2005.gif]

^* Gold equivalent calculations do not take into account metallurgical recoveries and are based on in ground metal using metal prices of $990 per ounce gold, $15.40 per ounce silver and $2.91 per pound copper.

Raintree West consists of two zones divided by a fault. One is near surface under a veneer of glacial till, and the other a deep zone. The 150 metre long by 125 metre wide zone of near surface mineralization occurs to a depth of 170 metres. A 2009 hole within this area that intersected both the shallow and deep zone mineralization returned 471.6 metres averaging 0.38 g/t gold, 4.7 g/t silver, 0.09% copper, 0.15% lead and 0.35% zinc in hole WH09-002. Based on further drilling the deep zone has a an apparent width of 300 metres with 325 metres of strike extent and is open at depth. A 2011 intersection of this deep zone and a surrounding mantle of epithermal textured precious and base metal-bearing quartz-carbonate veins averaged 0.72 g/t gold 3.2 g/t silver, and 0.12% copper, including 328.6 metres averaging 0.93 g/t gold, 3.7 g/t silver, and 0.16% copper. The tenor of deep mineralization is evidenced by the final 172 metres of the hole, starting at 619 metres, which averaged 1.13 g/t gold, 3.9 g/t silver and 0.18% copper.

The Rainmaker, Raintree North and Raintree South prospects are moderately to steeply dipping, approximately 100 metre-wide bodies of gold-copper mineralization. All are open to depth. Faulting bounds the Rainmaker and Raintree North prospects, but further step out drilling and geological and

structural interpretation may aid in the expansion of these prospects, which exhibit similar gold and copper grades as the Whistler Deposit.

Earlier stage prospects are also present within the Orbit at Whistler-like porphyry targets such as Dagwood, Snow Ridge, Round Mountain and Canyon Creek. These are drill-ready targets that merit further exploration. Management continues to prioritize targets, including the Whistler Orbit prospects for potential follow up. Due to the focus of work on the Whistler Deposit only a very limited amount of exploration was undertaken at Raintree West. One backhoe-excavated trench, 49 metres in length, was completed to expose Raintree West mineralization at surface.

Island Mountain:

[kskmda2013q2007.gif]

The majority of exploration at Island Mountain has targeted the Breccia Zone, where the 2009 discovery hole IM09-01 returned 0.72 g/t gold, 2.37 g/t silver and 0.16% copper over 150 metres and a second interval of 1.22 g/t gold over 106.9 metres. An additional nine holes, totaling 3,937 metres, were completed along with mapping and soil and rock geochemical surveys in 2010. Highlights of the Island Mountain Breccia zone include IM10-013, collared 110 metres north of the discovery section, which intersected 114.9 metres of 1.25 g/t gold, 4.0 g/t silver and 0.23% copper. Exploration in 2011 built upon the success of the previous two programs, with holes expanding the extents of the Breccia Zone on a total of six 50 metre-spaced sections.

To date, drilling has defined gold-copper and peripheral gold-only mineralization over a strike length of 250 metres, 400 metres in width and to a depth of 450 metres. Mineralization remains open to the north and at depth. Using this data, Kiska developed a more refined geological model for the Breccia Zone, defining key lithologies and the alteration and mineralization patterns and assemblages. This will aid in future resource estimates and in exploring the northern extents of the Breccia Zone, as well as other targets in the Island Mountain area. Positive from breccias located 500 to 700 metres north of the Discovery Breccia and include results such as 73.9 metres of 0.72 g/t gold, 2.24 g/t silver and 0.09% copper in IM11-30. This highlights the potential for additional mineralization north of the main breccias that warrants further drilling.

Further analysis of the Island Mountain data has identified new targets, suggesting that Island Mountain may be host to a cluster of porphyry centres much like the Whistler Orbit area. Among these targets, the SC is a compelling prospect, a 1,200 by 700 metre wide EM conductor, 1,250 metres east of the Breccia Zone. Drilling returned two gold-bearing intervals that averaged 0.61 g/t gold equivalent* over 21 metres and 0.45 g/t gold equivalent* over 30.0 metres in hole IM11-21.

Another high priority target is the Howell prospect, two kilometres north of the Breccia Zone. The Howell is defined by strong coincident gold and copper soil geochemical anomaly over a core area of 650 metres in diameter. Coincident magnetics and resistivity anomalies and the presence of altered monzonite intrusive rocks make this another drill-ready priority target at Island Mountain.

In 2012, a detailed review of the Island Mountain Breccia Zone drill core from the 2011 campaign was completed. This work refined the geological model for the Island Mountain Breccia Zone resulting in a deeper understanding of the controls on mineralization. This study will aid in prioritization of drill targets at Island Mountain for future campaigns and will provide a solid foundation for future mineral resource estimations.

d) Muddy Creek

Muddy Creek, 8 km north of Island Mountain, is an Intrusion-Related Gold (IRG) target defined by expansive areas of high gold-in-soil anomalies and high grade gold in rocks. Three reconnaissance holes totaling 935 metres were drilled at Muddy Creek in 2011. Largely due to steep terrain, holes MC11-001 and -002 were situated at the southwestern edge of a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly, collared 360 metres apart and drilled toward each other. Both holes intersected steep northwest striking sheeted vein arrays. The northeast directed hole, MC11-001, returned 38.8 metres averaging 0.51 g/t gold equivalent* within a broader interval of 138.8 metres averaging 0.29 g/t gold equivalent. The southwest directed hole, MC11-002, returned intervals of 45.0 metres averaging 0.52 g/t gold equivalent* and 44.2 metres averaging 0.51 g/t gold equivalent* within a broad 338.1 metre interval averaging 0.30 g/t gold equivalent*. Hole MC11-003 was designed to test the Bonanza Zone, 3.3 kilometres further to the southeast, where 12 selective rock samples of outcrop and a few locally derived float samples averaged 9.0 g/t gold over a 340 metre distance along the slope. The hole targeted the vein-hosting diorite beneath capping sediments, however, it failed to reach the intended diorite target and was shut down in sediments.

Results of the program confirm that while drilling only tested a small portion of the Muddy Creek target, the veins at surface have significant vertical continuity and potential exists for higher grades laterally and at depth. Additional targets exist and warrant further drilling. Management continues to analyze Muddy Creek and define plans for further ground work. No work was completed at Muddy Creek during the period and none is planned for 2013.

Uncle Sam Project

The Uncle Sam Gold Project is an intrusion-related gold target, located approximately 75 kilometres southeast of Fairbanks. The Uncle Sam project consists of extensive anomalous surface gold geochemistry highlighted by a drill intersection of 10.6 metres averaging 6.1g/t gold.

In 2012, Millrock completed an earn-in on the project by making the final US$60,000 payment (total US$200,000 paid) and issuing 250,000 shares (total 1,000,000 received) to the Company. Millrock acquired a 100% interest in the property under an option agreement signed in 2009, which also stipulated that Millrock had to fund US$2.7 million in exploration (completed) on the property. The Company has since transferred title to Millrock, however, Millrock must issue 1,000,000 shares upon filing a 43-101 report with a minimum 500,000 oz gold and an additional 1,000,000 shares upon commencement of commercial production.

Goodpaster Properties

The Goodpaster Properties, located 65 kilometres northeast of Delta Junction, Alaska consist of 7 claim groups totaling 20,600 acres (8,336 hectares). The claim groups are referred to as the California-Surf, ER, Scot, Boundary, Southeast Surf Eagle and Bou claims. Rubicon Minerals Corporation (“Rubicon”)

had an option agreement to earn a 60% interest in the properties by funding a total of US$4.8 million in exploration over 6 years. During the first quarter of 2011, Rubicon elected to terminate the option, returning full property interest to the Company subject to underlying royalties. The ER and the Eagle properties are subject to a 2% NSR in favor of AngloGold Ashanti (U.S.A.) Exploration Inc. The California-Surf is subject to a 1.75% NSR in favor of Capstone Mining Corp. The Bou is wholly owned by Rimfire Alaska, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Kiska holds a strategic land position in the region on trend and adjacent to Sumitomo’s Pogo Gold Mine. Work on the Goodpaster properties dating back to 1999 has identified anomalous pathfinder and gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies and gold mineralization in rock samples on all of the properties held by Kiska. Drilling has intersected high-grade gold mineralization in quartz veins at the ER property, and elsewhere, stockwork-style narrow gold-bearing vein mineralization that is thought to occur above and laterally to the thick, high grade gold veins targeted in this district. At the Eagle Property, low-grade gold mineralization thought to represent Intrusion-Related Gold style mineralization has been identified in drilling. Management is seeking a partner to advance the Goodpaster properties. A single day property tour and core examination was completed with a potential partner during period, as well as examination of Eagle core stored of site.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Goodpaster Properties as defined by NI43-101.

Copper Joe

On August 31, 2010, the Company signed an option agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company to acquire a 100% interest in the Copper Joe Property ("Copper Joe"). Copper Joe is a copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry prospect located 50 km south-southwest of the Company's Whistler Project in Alaska.

Kiska can earn a 100% interest in the Copper Joe Property from Kennecott by incurring a total of US$5.0 million in exploration expenditures by December 31, 2015, including a commitment to US$170,000 in exploration by December 31, 2011 (completed). Kiska will pay Kennecott a one-time cash payment of US$10 million upon completion of a positive 43-101 compliant pre-feasibility study. In addition, before affecting a sale or assigning rights and interests to the property, Kiska will give Kennecott a 90 day period to acquire such rights and interests at 90% of the price and terms stated in the notice. Kiska is permitted to divest all or part of its interest, subject to the first right of refusal and the option period, provided at least US$2.5 million in expenditures have been completed. Prior to reaching the $2.5 million expenditure level, Kiska requires Kennecott's consent to divest its rights and interest. If Kennecott elects not to exercise its first right of refusal, Kennecott will retain a 2% NSR.

Kiska has completed approximately 20.8 line-kilometres of 2D IP geophysics, 14.8 line-kilometers ground magnetics geophysics, soil and rock geochemical surveys and surface mapping at Copper Joe since acquiring the project and new claims were added to the land package. Results of this work indicate that the upper portion of a porphyry hydrothermal system is exposed on the property. This is evidenced by areas of elevated copper and gold soil chemistry, centrally located high temperature potassic alteration and veining and a induced polarization chargeability high anomaly that helps to define a large phyllic alteration zone 3.1 kilometres by 1.4 kilometres in size.

There was no work undertaken on the property in 2012. A three day reconnaissance sampling program was competed on the property in the first quarter of 2013 for assessment purposes and to further assess the exploration potential for the property. Results of the program are pending.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Copper Joe project as defined by NI43-101.

Australia Properties

Lachlan Fold Belt Properties

The Company holds one exploration licence covering 15,074 hectares in the Lachlan Fold Belt, New South Wales, Australia. The Lachlan Fold Belt is richly endowed with a diversity of deposit types that host in excess of 150 million ounces of gold. Deposit types include copper-gold porphyry, epithermal gold, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS), gold-copper skarn, sediment-hosted disseminated gold and intrusion-related gold deposits.

Effective December 12, 2008, the Corporation signed a farm-in agreement for the Barmedman exploration licence with Inmet Mining (Australia) Pty. Ltd. (now First Quantum Minerals Ltd.). Under the terms of the agreement, First Quantum is earning a 60% interest by funding at least A$5 million in exploration on the property over four years. Inmet has been making staged cash payments which will total A$250,000 (received A$50,000) over the earn-in period.

Samples from the 2010 diamond drilling were selected for radiometric age dating. A large proportion of the economic copper-gold deposits in the Lachlan Fold Belt occur with felsic Ordovician intrusive suites, so determining the age of the intrusive suites at Barmedman can be used as an indication of the economic potential.

A review of potential work programs for the Barmedman Property was conducted with Inmet in the fourth quarter of 2012. Based on this review, a field program was recommended and was completed during the period. The program consisted of airborne magnetics and radiometrics (150 metre line-spacing) to cover the entire 150 square kilometre property and ground based magnetics to identify the prospective felsic intrusive rocks. Results are pending.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Barmedman Project as defined by NI43-101.

Victoria Goldfields Properties

Effective June 27, 2008 and amended February 2, 2011, the Company signed a letter of agreement for a farm-in and joint venture with a subsidiary of Northgate Minerals Corporation, which was then acquired by AuRico Gold (AuRico), for three mining tenements in the Stawell Corridor of the Victoria Goldfields. Subsequently, AuRico sold its interests in Stawell area to Crocodile Gold Corporation (Crocodile). The Group can earn a 50% interest in one or all of the three properties by funding an additional A$500,000 per property by September 30, 2012 with a minimum expenditure of A$450,000 in aggregate per year. The Company has vested a 50% interest in the Murtoa licence and relinquished the Ararat South and Dundonnell licences.

Crocodile has opted not to contribute to exploration of the Murtoa licence and Kiska now has the right to earn 100% interest by funding the next A$2 million in exploration. The Company is seeking partners to fund further exploration.

In 2012, Kiska drilled 2181.5 metres of aircore in twelve holes to the bedrock surface to test for anomalous gold and pathfinder geochemistry below the cover sequence on the Murtoa property. The aim of the 2012 aircore drill program was to test two of the nine best targets defined by work done by Kiska from 2009 to present. The targets are in covered terrain and are defined using multiple independent geological, geochemical and geophysical vector methods. Samples were collected from the overburden-

bedrock interface. No significant mineralization was intercepted although one sample returned significant gold in rock chips, but results were not reproducible in duplicates or subsequent assays indicating that nugget gold may be present. The Company is now seeking a partner to advance exploration at the Murtoa property and systematically test the targets generated in previous programs.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Victoria Goldfield properties as defined by NI43-101.

British Columbia, Ontario and Yukon Projects

The Company controls an extensive property portfolio in British Columbia, Ontario and Yukon Territory. Projects include:

Boulevard Property

This property consists of 238 claims covering 4,975 hectares and is located approximately 135 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon. The property was staked with Northgate Minerals (now AuRico Gold), who earned a 50% interest in the property. The Company signed an option agreement with Silver Quest Resources Ltd. (now Independence Gold Corp. “Independence”) whereby Independence can acquire the Company’s interest in the property by making staged cash payments totalling $80,000 (received), issuing an aggregate of 400,000 shares (received) and completing exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 (completed) over a five year period.

The Company retains a 1% NSR on the property, with Independence having the right to buy back 0.25% of the NSR for $375,000. If additional claims are staked within certain nearby areas of interest, Independence will issue additional shares and the 1% NSR will be extended to the new claims with the right to Independence to buy back 0.5% of the NSR for $500,000. To date, the Company has received an additional 100,000 common shares of Independence upon staking new claims within this project area.

In addition, should Independence complete a 43-101 compliant resource estimate on the property in excess of 1,000,000 ounces of gold in an indicated category, they will be required to make a one-time bonus payment of an additional 500,000 common shares of its capital stock to Kiska.

Since optioning the project Independence completed substantial auger soil-geochemical surveys leading to the definition of 3 distinct anomalies that were later tested by a 20 hole (3,006 m) diamond drilling program in 2010. Drilling intersected generally lower grade mineralization over widths of less than 25 metres core length. The 2011 program consists of further surface geochemistry and 6,000 metres of diamond drilling to test targets along the Boulevard Trend, a 20 kilometre long trend comprised of gold-, arsenic-, antimony- and molybdenum-in-soil geochemical anomalies. Independence has also conducted an airborne geophysical survey, which includes radiometric and magnetic surveying over Boulevard property.

Independence collected of approximately 3,500 in-fill soil samples in 2012 to better-define previously identified gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies within the Snowcap Trend. This follow-up sampling is designed to generate additional diamond drill targets. A 2013 program has not yet been announced.

Grizzly Property

Grizzly property covers 2,652 hectares, and is located in the Liard Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 50 kilometres east of the Galore Creek project and within four kilometres of the partially completed Galore Creek access road. The Company owns a 100% interest in these claims, subject to an underlying 2% NSR, 100% of which can be purchased for $2 million. No work was completed during the period and none is planned in 2013.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Grizzly Property as defined by NI43-101.

Poker Creek

The Poker Creek property and covers 2,516 hectares, and is located in the Liard Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 16 kilometres west of Telegraph Creek. The Company owns 100% of these claims. No work was completed during the period and none is planned in 2013.

RDN Property

The RDN property covers approximately 8,576 hectares, and is located in the Liard Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 120 kilometres northwest of Stewart, British Columbia. This property is currently optioned (as to 51%) to AuRico Gold Corp., subject to an underlying 1.34% NSR. AuRico may earn an additional 9% interest by completing a feasibility study and funding all expenditures up to completion of the feasibility study.

On May 10, 2012 Aurico terminated the RDN property option agreement without having earned an interest in the property. Management will conduct a review of the data in 2013 and commence the search for another partner to advance the RDN.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Goodpaster Properties as defined by NI43-101.

Redton Project

The Redton project covers 23,655 hectares and is located in the Quesnel Trough in northern British Columbia. The project adjoins Serengeti Resources Inc.’s Kwanika property and is within 1,500 metres of the recent porphyry copper-gold discovery made by Serengeti. Kiska has earned an 85% interest, subject to underlying royalties, in the project by spending in excess of $4.75 million. Redton Resources Inc. holds the other 15% interest and holds a 3% NSR of which 1.5% can be purchased for $6,000,000 (1% for $1,000,000; 0.5% for $5,000,000).

In 2012, a small surface program was completed on the property. A total of 548 soil samples were collected at Redton infilling areas of previous soil sampling. This work focused primarily on the central portion of the property 1.5 kilometres east of Serengeti Resources’ Kwanika copper-gold deposit. Four polymetallic soil geochemical anomalies were identified in the 2012 program which will aid in the prioritization of targets for future drill testing.

The Company reduced the Redton claim package during the year. A total of 103 claims were returned back to Redton Resources including the Twin Creeks claims owned by Lorne Warren. This reduction in claims means the property is no longer subject to the Warren or Redton Resources net smelter royalties. Also, the Takla-Rainbow property option, which formed part of the Redton Project, was terminated by the Company during the year. Management is seeking a partner to advance Redton in 2013.

Quesnel Trough Project

The Quesnel Trough project covers 17,676 hectares, and is located in the Cariboo Mining Division of British Columbia. A total of seven properties comprise the project and are located from 15 kilometres south of Prince George to 40 kilometres north of Fort St. James. The Company owns 100% of these claims. Xstrata Canada Corporation signed an option agreement to earn a 51% interest in the properties by completing a preliminary assessment and spending $3,000,000 by December 31, 2013 (complete). In addition, Xstrata must spend no less than $250,000 in each calendar year commencing in 2010. Xstrata may earn an additional 24% (total 75%) by completing a feasibility study and incurring no less than $20 million in feasibility study expenditures which must be completed before the tenth anniversary of Xstrata earning its 51% interest. Xstrata completed MMI (mobile metal ion) soil geochemical surveys on the properties that were followed up by tighter spaced sampling. In 2010, a four hole program of diamond drilling totaling 245 metres tested targets on three of the claim groups. Xstrata employed a small scale self-propelled drill rig with the intent of testing bedrock to a very shallow depth beneath the glacial till cover. Results included traces of copper mineralization as well as some porphyry style alteration.

IP surveys identified numerous chargeability and resistivity anomalies on the claim blocks. Testing of those targets yielded anomalous copper over narrow intervals on the Mags and Hat claim blocks, with the most encouraging results from the Mags block where anomalous copper values associated with a bleached felsic intrusive.

Exploration in 2012 targeted the Eye Property where 20.83 line kilometres of IP geophysics was completed. This data was combined with that from prior surveys to identify new targets.

Thorn Property

The Thorn property, covering 18,854 hectares is located in the Atlin Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 120 kilometres northwest of Telegraph Creek. On February 27, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the Thorn Property to Brixton Metals Corporation for $1.5 million in cash and seven million shares of Brixton. The sale was completed to rationalize the property ownership, allowing Brixton to move the project forward with greater flexibility and to enable Kiska to crystallize value from the project. Kiska now owns approximately 8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Brixton.

Prior to the sale, Brixton was funding exploration of the Thorn under an option agreement to earn a 51% interest in the Thorn by funding $5 million in exploration at the Thorn and making cash payments totaling $200,000 (a total of $150,000 had been paid – the Company received $112,500, or 75% with the remaining 25% paid to Cangold Limited under a prior arrangement) and issuing a total of 400,000 common shares (300,000 had been issued – the Company received 225,000 shares, or 75% with the remaining 25% paid to Cangold Limited under a prior arrangement) on or before December 12, 2013.

After earning a 51% interest, Kiska could elect to have Brixton increase its interest from 51% to 65% by spending an additional $10,000,000 in property expenditures within three years.

Brixton completed 47 holes (8,567 metres) at Thorn in 2011 and 2012. The majority of Brixton’s exploration focused on high grade gold and silver at the Oban Breccia Zone following the intersection of 628 g/t silver, 1.71 g/t gold, 0.12% copper, 3.31% lead and 2.39% zinc over 95.08 metres in THN11-60. The intersection started at a depth of 6 metres and contained a 9.35 metre higher grade section that averaged 2,984 g/t silver, 3.04 g/t gold, 0.53% copper, 11.60% lead and 3.42% zinc starting 55.40 metres down the hole. Mineralization is comprised of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, sulphosalts and chalcopyrite hosted in a hydrothermal breccia matrix.

This was followed up in 2012, where THN12-84 returned a long mineralized intersection of 105.82 g/t silver. 0.71 g/t gold, 0.90% lead, 1.76% zinc and 0.03% copper over 310 metres. This includes 123 metres that averaged 190.68 g/t silver, 1.19 g/t gold, 1.74% lead, 3.25% zinc and 0.06% copper. With this drilling, the Oban Zone is shown to be open to the south and has now been traced in drilling over a distance of 140 metres in a north-south direction, and to a depth of 325 metres.

Brixton is currently conducting a drill program at Thorn.

Wernecke Breccia Project

Wernecke Breccia project is situated in the Wernecke Mountains approximately 180 kilometres northeast of Mayo in east-central Yukon Territory. In 2006 and 2007, Fronteer Development Group conducted field programs focused on refining drill targets at a series of high priority iron-oxide-copper-gold +/- uranium and standalone uranium targets, all of which are characterized by coincident geophysical, geological and geochemical anomalies. Twenty-seven holes were completed in 2007 to test these targets, yielding results such as 0.97 g/t gold and 2.51% copper in the only hole drilled Pagisteel Fault target and 0.44% copper over 126.7 metres at the Hoover Central Zone, 12 kilometres to the southeast of historical holes. Fieldwork in 2006 and 2007 led to the recognition of new uranium and copper-gold mineralization in 9 target areas discovery of the MDV and Atomtan uranium-copper-gold targets.

No exploration has been undertaken since 2009. Newmont is the operator of the project, having acquired it through acquisition of Fronteer Development Group in 2011. Fronteer funded 100% of the required $2 million in exploration expenditures to earn an 80% interest and as such, Newmont now holds 80% with the Company holding the remaining 20% interest. Franco-Nevada Corporation and NVI Mining Ltd. retain a total 2% NSR. There is a 7.5% to 15% Net Profits Interest (“NPI”) payable to the underlying vendors. A Joint Venture has been formed between Newmont and the Company, and on-going exploration expenses will be shared pro-rata subject to dilution for non-participation. Should either party’s interest fall below 5%, their interest will be converted to a 3% NPI after payback of capital. Newmont has not indicated if work is planned on the project in 2013.

Williams Property

The Williams property, covering 10,727 hectares, is located in the Liard Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 150 kilometres southeast of Dease Lake, British Columbia and 330 kilometres north of Smithers. The Company owns 100% of the property subject to a 1.25% NSR. The Company is required to issue an additional 43,500 common shares upon commencement of commercial production

from the property. The Company can purchase 0.75% of the NSR for $1,000,000. Advance royalty payments of $5,000 per year are payable to the underlying vendor.

The Williams property covers two distinct gold-bearing prospects. The T-Bill Target is a 3 sq. km area of carbonate alteration, highly anomalous gold-arsenic soil geochemistry and gold-bearing quartz-sulphide veining. The GIC Prospect, located 3 kilometres to the north, is a little explored 500 x 900 metre gold-copper soil geochemical anomaly centred on a prominent gossan. These two prospects were discovered independently by major companies conducting regional stream-sediment sampling programs in the early 1980's. In the 1980's, 15 diamond drill holes were completed at the T-Bill prospect, returning intersections such as 2.0 metres of 35.0 g/t gold, and 4.0 metres 11.0 g/t gold, 1.5 metres of 24.7 g/t gold, and 2.0 metres of 24.8 g/t gold. The Company is searching for a joint venture partner for this property. No work is planned for 2013.

Kliyul Property

Kliyul is a gold-copper porphyry project located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia, approximately 67 kilometres southeast of the Kemess Mine and 200 kilometres north-northeast of Smithers. The Company has completed three separate purchase agreements to acquire the property interests of Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (as to 45%), First Majestic Silver Corp. (as to 30%) and Daylight Energy Ltd (as to 25%) in the Kliyul copper-gold porphyry project. Additionally, the project was expanded with the purchase of a mineral claims held by Northwest Enterprises Inc. (August 10, 2010), Scott-Martindale (January 22, 2011), Davis (February 23, 2011) and Walker-Javorsky (April 11, 2011). These transactions result in the Company owning a 100% interest in the 5,752 hectare property, subject to a 1.5% NSR in favour of Rio Tinto.

The most recent drilling at Kliyul, in 2006, yielded encouraging copper and gold intersections from two holes. In KL06-30, a 217.8 metre intersection averaged 0.23% copper and 0.52 g/t gold. KL06-31 returned a number of intervals of similar tenor highlighted by 24 metres of 0.20% copper and 0.44 g/t gold, 32 metres of 0.21% copper and 0.62 g/t gold and 20 metres of 0.14% copper and 1.21 g/t gold. These were the first deep drill holes drilled on the property and both ended in mineralization. In 2011, the Company completed 30.6 line kilometres of Induced Polarization (IP) survey to follow up the 2006 drilling and identified a zone of chargeability measuring 500 metres by 1,400 metres which underlies mapped pyrite-sericite alteration. The 2006 drill holes are located within this anomaly. This “main” chargeability high is flanked by zones of moderate chargeability that increase the lateral dimensions of the anomaly to 1,100 metres by 1,800 metres. No work programs were completed on the property in 2012. Office-based interpretation of the Kliyul data and target refinement was undertaken and management is now seeking a partner to fund drilling of the Kliyul targets in 2013, and as part of this process, three prospective partners have visited the property for a site examination.

Midlothian Property

The Midlothian property consists of 11 claims (152 claim units) covering an area of approximately 24.2 km² located 80 km west-southwest of Kirkland Lake and 25 km west-southwest of Matachewan, Ontario. The west-southwest trending, 250 km long Cadillac-Larder Lake Break ("CLLB") is interpreted to pass through the southeast portion of the property. This major structure provides a regional locus for numerous

gold deposits, mines and significant gold prospects, and extends from east of Val d' Or, Quebec to southwest of Matachewan in Ontario. Combined past production and known reserves from the break aggregate more than 80 million ounces of gold.

A subparallel structure to the CLLB has also been interpreted on the Midlothian property, and several westerly trending splays off the latter structure have been inferred. The western half of the property contains Archean intermediate to felsic volcanics intruded by east-trending mafic to ultramafic linear intrusions (typically gabbro to peridotite). The northeastern corner of the property contains Timiskaming Conglomerate, and the Archean geology of the eastern portion of the property, including the CLLB, is concealed by an unknown thickness of Proterozoic sediments. During the 1950s and early 1960s most investigations were concentrated on the gold potential of the Timiskaming Conglomerate and on asbestos and copper-nickel showings associated with the mafic to ultramafic sills. Asbestos was mined from several pits by United Asbestos Incorporated from 1975 to 1977. There is extensive iron carbonate alteration with pyrite in the Timiskaming Conglomerate and locally in the volcanics on the property, in many instances proximal to the interpreted structures. Minor veining and small cliffs were also noted along the interpreted structures.

A five-day prospecting program was conducted on the property in late May, 2013. The highlights of the results were two grab samples taken 5 m apart from a quartz vein/alteration zone, in the wall of one of United Asbestos's open pits. These samples assayed 296 g/t (8.6 oz/ton) and 12,700 g/t (370 oz/ton) gold respectively.

The mineralized Bjorkman zone is 1 m wide, and consists of a mixture of white bull quartz, very fine-grained grey silica and iron carbonate, with a 10 cm zone of banded fine-grained silica on the margin. The Bjorkman zone occurs on the western contact of an approximately 25 m wide, northerly trending intermediate dike which cuts the ultramafic sill, and is proximal to one of the westerly trending interpreted splay structures. The contact and mineralized zone vary in dip from 45 degrees to subvertical. The Bjorkman zone can be followed for approximately 20 m; it is concealed at both ends by debris associated with the open pit. Abundant visible gold occurs in the banded margin of the zone in at least one locality. Malachite is also present locally.

Laurion spent two days in July re-examining the Bjorkman zone and conducting additional sampling and prospecting on the property. A 30 cm chip sample of the western part of the zone ran 4,810 g/t, whereas an adjacent 40 cm sample of the remainder of the zone ran 2.99 g/t Au. This confirms visual observations that the visible gold is concentrated on the western margin of the zone. Other chip samples in the immediate vicinity of the original discovery returned 0.8 m @ 2,060 g/t Au and 0.75 m @ 90 g/t Au. A 0.95 m chip sample taken 15 m from the original discovery assayed 510 g/t Au. Two other chip samples further from the original location produced anomalous values only. Grab samples of andesite and ultramafic wall-rock material to the zone ran 746 and 12 ppb Au respectively.

The Midlothian Property was acquired under a strategic alliance signed in 2007. Under terms of the alliance, Laurion has earned a 51% interest in the Midlothian Property and must fund exploration until delivery of a positive pre-feasibility study at which point a joint venture will be formed. Laurion may increase its interest by completing a positive bankable feasibility within 18 months of forming the joint venture.

Tom Setterfield, PhD, P. Geo., Principal of GeoVector Management Inc., is the Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101, for the Midlothian Property.

Mexico Properties

The Company held an interest in fifteen projects in Sonora, Durango and Sinaloa States in Mexico. Twelve projects were held in a 60/40 Joint Venture with Azure Minerals Limited (60%). All projects were

subject to certain back in rights held by Minera Kennecott S.A. de C.V., (“MKE”) a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. During the first quarter, the Joint Venture was terminated and MKE relinquished its back in rights on all projects. The Company held a 100% interest in nine projects each of which is subject to a 2% NSR held by MKE including six of the former joint venture properties.

The majority of the projects have been targeted for their porphyry copper–gold–molybdenum potential, while some projects show potential for epithermal gold–silver–base metal mineralization. The projects span a range from grassroots to exploration drilling levels of advancement.

Pursuant to an agreement dated September 17, 2010, and closing on October 7, 2010, the Company sold its interest in all nine projects in Mexico, a proprietary database covering Mexico, Arizona and its Mexico subsidiary, Minera Geoinformatica S.A. de C.V. to Evrim Metals Corp (“Evrim”) for an initial share payment of 2 million shares of Evrim.

In addition to the initial two-million share payment, Kiska will receive on a yearly basis share payments of 10,000 or 50,000 shares per property, depending on the status of the property, for a period of five years. Similar payments are also required if Evrim acquires any property out of the database included in the Minera sale. The Company received a total of 200,000 shares of Evrim during 2011 and 220,000 shares during 2012.

Kiska will also receive a one-million-share payment for every property that is advanced to a positive production decision.

Nevada Properties

Colorback Property

Colorback is a sediment-hosted gold target in the Cortez-Battle Mountain Trend, Nevada. The property consists of 120 claims, located in Lander County approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Elko. The Company has signed a lease and purchase agreement with Desert Hawk Resources Inc. (“Desert Hawk”). Desert Hawk has agreed to an option to purchase the property for a 19 year period commencing on November 2, 2010 and terminating on November 2, 2029. During the first five years of the agreement, the property may be purchased for US$1,000,000 including any advanced royalty payments and a buy-down of the net smelter royalty (“NSR”) from 2.5% to 2.0%. Following the first five years, the property may be purchased for US$5,000,000 including any advanced royalty payments and a buy-down of the NSR from 2.5% to 2.0%. Desert Hawk has agreed to an advanced royalty payment schedule of US$50,000 on signing (paid) and every anniversary in years 1 to 4 inclusive, escalating to US$75,000 in years 5 to 9, followed by US$100,000 until the end of the lease. Subsequently, Desert Hawk has been acquired by Meadow Bay Gold Corporation. The property (together with the Hilltop Property) was returned to Kiska in 2012 and management is currently seeking a new partner for the project.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Colorback Property as defined by NI43-101.

Hilltop Property

The Hilltop property is a sediment-hosted gold target in the Cortez-Battle Mountain Trend, Nevada. The property is comprised of 82 claims located in Lander County, approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Elko. No work has been conducted on the property since 2007. During the period, the Company added the Hilltop Property to the Colorback lease and purchase agreement with Meadow Bay Gold Corporation.

The property (together with the Colorback Property) was returned to Kiska in 2012 and management is currently seeking a new partner for the project.

During the period, the Company signed an exploration agreement with Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc., ("Baker Hughes") for the right to explore the Hilltop Property for barite minerals.

Baker Hughes will make a one-time payment of US$35,000 within 30 days of executing this agreement (received) and will pay mining claim maintenance fees while the agreement is in effect. Baker Hughes will have the right and option at any time during the three year term to enter into an exclusive 20 year mining lease on the property. Kiska will receive a royalty of US$2.00 per ton of finished barite ore produced from the property. Once Baker Hughes enters into a mining lease arrangement, they will be obligated to make advance minimum royalty payments until production is commenced. The agreement does not cover precious and base metal products and Baker Hughes will make their drill splits available for Kiska's analytical work.

Mark Baknes, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Kiska Metals is the Qualified Person for the Hilltop Property as defined by NI43-101.

Royalty Properties

The Company has a portfolio of royalties that it owns on properties around the world. Many of the royalty properties are at an early stage and not expected to generate significant revenues in the near term, if ever. However certain royalties are on targets in active mining districts and management is assessing their potential to generate revenue in the near to medium term. In particular, the Company is reviewing royalties held on properties and targets in New Zealand and the East Timmins area of Ontario.

Overall results

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, total mineral property expenditures have decreased by 51% to 0.5 million and by 50% to $0.9 million respectively over the same period in 2012. This is primarily the result of management’s decision to postpone any work program for the Whistler project but continue to maintain the camp for the remainder of the year. In addition management has made significant efforts to reduce overall costs in both the head office and in Alaska. In particular management has decreased staffing levels and rates and has subleased a portion of both the Vancouver head office and the Anchorage warehouse/office.

Although geological consulting expenditures deceased by 67% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, the company still incurred costs of $49,784 paid to contractors providing geological analysis on prospective projects. Expenditures in the same period in 2012 were related to the economic evaluation of the Whistler project.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased by 55% to $285,925 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and by 33% to $546,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as management continues decrease staffing levels and rates in efforts to conserve cash.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 the company was reimbursed $184,251 in expenditures on the Barmedman project and $36,263 on the Kliyul project.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2013 share based compensation also decreased by 84% to $564,748 over the same period in 2012 as a result 1.5 million options expiring in the first quarter of 2013 along with the fact that the company has not issued options since 2011.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $1.3 million ($0.02 per share) compared to a net loss of $1.65 million ($(0.02) per share) for the same period in 2012. This decrease in net loss of $0.36 million or 22% is primarily the result of management’s efforts to conserve cash by reducing overall costs. The overall decrease in expenditures is better highlighted by the decrease of $0.45 million (51%) in mineral property costs and $0.27 million (42%) in head office operating costs for the same period in 2012.

The company’s marketable security portfolio consists of share in junior mining companies. Due to the downturn in the market for these shares the company incurred a comprehensive loss of $0.53 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $0.14 million in the same quarter in 2012. This comprehensive loss accounted for 41% of the total loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Selected quarterly information for each of the eight most recently completed financial periods is set out below: (figures in thousands)

The Company’s expenditures generally exhibit a seasonal variation being lower in the first and last quarters and higher during the second and third quarters of each year. This variation is due to the climate where exploration is taking place, which limits exploration in the winter months.

Cash balances	$ 3,146,720	$ 4,540,387	$ 3,146,720	$ 4,540,387

The Company had working capital of $4.7 million at June 30, 2013 compared with working capital of $4.1 at December 31, 2012. This increase is attributable to the sale of the Thorn property for $1.5 million in cash and seven million shares of Brixton Metals Corporation. Excluding the sale, working capital would have would have been $2 million for the period ended June 30, 2013 or a decrease of $2.08 million over the same period in 2012.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 cash outflows in operating activities decreased by $579,133 over the same period in 2012. This decrease is a result of actions taken by management to reduce expenditures and conserve cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 cash flows in operating activities decreased by $489,630 (excluding $1,500,000 Thorn sale proceeds).

The company has not had any financing activity since 2011 when a bought deal financing occurred for proceeds of $16,000,263 in addition to $4,032,611 of financing raised from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources and liquidity to sustain its planned activities through 2013. Any significant future exploration and development of the Whistler project may require the Company to raise additional capital through equity financing. The Company’s strategy will be to use the equity financing to fund exploration activities until sufficient cash flow can be generated from mining operations.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not employ a hedging strategy or a foreign exchange protection strategy. The majority of the Company’s income and expenses are denominated in Canadian Dollars. The income which is received in U.S. Dollars is preserved in a U.S. Dollar account for use in paying U.S. Dollar denominated expenses.

ESTIMATES, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Overview

The Company is subject to many risks that may affect future operations over which the Company has little control. These risks include, but are not limited to, market conditions and the Company’s ability to access new sources of capital, the results from property exploration and development activities, and currency fluctuations.

Access to Capital

The exploration and subsequent development of mineral properties is capital intensive. Should it not be possible to raise additional equity funds when required, the Company may not be able to continue to fund its operations which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s potential profitability and ability to continue as a going concern.

Speculative Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development

The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risk which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not adequately mitigate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of ore will be discovered on any of Kiska’s sole-risk or ventured properties. Even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, there is no assurance that the mineral property will be brought into production. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including the particular attributes of the deposit, such as its size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; commodity prices, which have fluctuated widely in recent years; and government regulations, including those relating to taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, aboriginal rights, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but Kiska’s business may be

adversely affected by the inability of Kiska or those companies with which Kiska forms exploration or development alliances, to bring projects into commercial production.

Commodity Prices

The prices of gold, copper, zinc and other minerals have fluctuated widely in recent years and are affected by a number of factors beyond the control of Kiska, including but not limited to international economic and political conditions, expectations of inflation, international currency exchange rates, consumption patterns, and levels of supply and demand. Fluctuations in commodity prices will influence the willingness of investors to fund mining and exploration companies and the willingness of such companies to participate in joint ventures with Kiska and the level of their financial commitment. Similarly, the ability of Kiska to monetize assets may also be affected by fluctuations in commodity prices.

Competition

Other exploration companies, including those with greater financial resources than Kiska, could adopt or may have adopted the business strategies of Kiska and thereby compete directly with Kiska, or may seek to acquire and develop mineral claims in areas targeted by Kiska. While the risk of direct competition may be mitigated by Kiska’s experience and technical capabilities, there can be no assurance that competition will not increase or that Kiska will be able to compete successfully.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors and officers of Kiska also serve as directors, officers and advisors of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development. To the extent that such companies may participate in ventures with Kiska, such directors and officers may have conflicts of interest in negotiating and concluding the terms respecting the extent of such participation. Such other companies may also compete with Kiska for the acquisition of mineral property rights. In the event that any such conflict of interest arises, Kiska’s policy is that such director or officer will disclose the conflict to the board of directors and, if the conflict involves a director, such director will abstain from voting on the matter. In accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the directors and officers of Kiska are required to act honestly, in good faith with a view to the best interests of Kiska.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document includes certain forward looking statements concerning the future performance of Kiska’s business, its operations and its financial performance and condition, as well as management’s objectives, strategies, beliefs and intentions. Forward-looking statements are frequently identified by such words as “may”, “will”, “plan”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend” and similar words referring to future events and results. Forward-looking statements are based on the current opinions and expectations of management. All forward-looking information is inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to vary include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to access capital, the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, fluctuating commodity prices, competitive risks and reliance on key personnel, as described in more detail in this document under “Risk Factors and Uncertainties”. Statements relating to estimates of reserves and resources are also forward-looking statements as they involve risks and assumptions (including but not limited to assumptions with respect to future commodity prices and production economics) that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities and grades estimated and are capable of economic extraction. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and we caution against placing undue reliance thereon.

All mineral resources referenced in the technical report filed for the Whistler Property have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources and mineral reserves of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in NI 43-101. U.S. reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 ("Guide 7"). NI 43-101 and Guide 7 standards are substantially different. The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. These definitions differ from the definitions of "proven (measured) reserves" and "probable (indicated) reserves" in Guide 7. Under Guide 7 standards, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

The technical report uses or may use the terms "mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource". We advise investors that these terms are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101. However, these terms are not defined terms under Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.
