Kiska Closes $1.5 million Private Placement

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES NOR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA


Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KSK) is pleased
to announce that it has closed the previously announced private placement
financing of 15,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Company, at a price of $0.10
per Unit for gross proceeds of $1.5 million. 


Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and
one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share for three years, at
a price of $0.15. If, after June 28, 2014, the closing price of the Common
Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is higher than $0.30 for 20 consecutive
trading days then on the date that is the 20th consecutive trading day (the
"Acceleration Trigger Date") the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated
to the date that is 20 business days after the Acceleration Trigger Date,
provided the Company issues a news release announcing the acceleration of the
expiry date and sends written notice to the Warrant holder advising of the new
expiry date. 


Kiska intends to use the funds raised to pursue a number of business
opportunities, as well as for general corporate purposes. A finder's fee was
paid that consisted of 1,050,000 Units, representing a commission of 7% of the
Units sold to investors introduced by finders, and 1,050,000 non-transferable
share purchase warrants ("Compensation Warrants"). The Compensation Warrants
permit the purchase of one Common Share for two years at a price of $0.10.


All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a
four month Canadian hold (restricted resale) period that expires, with respect
to resales in Canada, on June 29, 2014. The private placement remains subject to
final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
