Kiska Adds $2.3 million to Treasury through Clancy Sale
VANCOUVER, Nov. 10 /CNW/ - Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska" or the "Company") reports that the Company has generated CAD$2,305,579 from the sale of 28,506,883 shares of Clancy Exploration Limited ("Clancy"), an ASX-listed (CLY) junior explorer in which Kiska owned a 26% interest.
The sale of the Clancy share position is part of an ongoing strategic review of non-core assets to maximize shareholder value and to allocate the Company's capital and resources to its flagship Whistler project. The Clancy position was considered a non-core asset, and as such, was liquidated. Proceeds of the transaction will be used to fund exploration of the Company's wholly-owned Whistler gold-copper porphyry project in Alaska and for general working capital.
