Vancouver, BC -- July 21, 2015: Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with Brazil Resources Inc. ("BRI") (TSX.V: BRI) pursuant to which BRI will acquire Kiska's 100% interest in the Whistler Project in Alaska.

Under the APA BRI will acquire the Whistler Project, including the mining claims and other assets belonging to the project, in exchange for the issuance of 3,500,000 common shares in the capital of BRI. The BRI common shares will be subject to resale restrictions providing for the release of 25% of the BRI shares at each 5 month anniversary after closing for a period of 20 months. In addition, the parties will enter into a Management Services Agreement whereby Kiska will provide certain management services in respect of the Whistler Project, in consideration for a fee of $10,000 per month, for 15 months following completion of the transaction.

"This transaction greatly increases the Company's flexibility going forward. Kiska will no longer incur any holding or exploration costs, and it retains excellent carried participation in the future upside of the Whistler Project and other projects through its shareholding in BRI", stated Kiska's President Grant Ewing.

The Whistler Project comprises 304 mining claims over an area of 170 km² in a gold-copper district in central Alaska. It also contains an all-season runway and exploration camp infrastructure. Although Kiska considers the Whistler Project to be an advanced stage exploration project, little exploration has been conducted at Whistler by the Company since 2011 due to market conditions. During this period the Company has been focused on advancing its other partnered projects and acquiring new exploration opportunities under its prospect generator business model.

The transaction is subject to TSX-V acceptance and receipt of required third party consents. No finder's fee is payable by Kiska with respect to this transaction. The transaction was negotiated at arm's length.
