AuRico Metals Completes Acquisition of Kiska Metals

Toronto (ots/PRNewswire)

AuRico Metals Inc. (TSX: AMI), ("AuRico" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which AuRico acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Kiska Metals Corporation ("Kiska"), other than the Kiska shares already owned by AuRico. Kiska is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of AuRico.

The Arrangement was approved at a special meeting of Kiska securityholders held on March 1, 2017 by approximately 96.31% of the votes cast by Kiska securityholders (voting as a single class) present in person or by proxy. A final order approving the Arrangement was obtained from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 3, 2017.

Kiska's royalty portfolio consists of six existing royalties including royalties on the East Timmins and Boulevard properties operated by Kirkland Lake Gold and Independence Gold, respectively. In addition, Kiska's six wholly-owned exploration projects present organic royalty creation opportunities. All assets are located in North America and are expected to further enhance AuRico's existing high quality royalty pipeline. With the acquisition of Kiska, AuRico now has a portfolio consisting of 17 royalties.

AuRico's President & CEO Chris Richter commented, "We are very pleased to close this accretive transaction which further broadens our royalty portfolio pipeline in North America and preserves our strong balance sheet. With a well-diversified portfolio of royalties in place and several key upcoming catalysts expected at Kemess in the near-term, we remain very well positioned for an exciting year ahead."
