Drilling Commences at Leonora South

Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) (“Sitka” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce recently received assay results from its ongoing 2025 diamond drilling campaign at its road accessible RC Gold Project (“RC Gold” or the “Project”) located approximately 100 km east of Dawson City in Yukon’s prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. Results from DDRCCC-25-076 (“Hole 76”) returned 94.0 m of 1.15 g/t gold including 12.2 m of 4.55 g/t gold, and a separate interval of 25.0 m of 5.04 g/t gold, including 1.8 metres of 54.70 g/t gold within 86.4 m of 1.65 g/t gold (see Table 1). Drilling is currently underway at the Blackjack zone and up to 3 additional drill rigs are expected to begin turning in the coming weeks as part of a fully funded 30,000 metre diamond drilling program planned for 2025.

• DDRCC-25-076 (“Hole 76”) confirms and extends high-grade gold mineralization at Blackjack with 25.0 m of 5.04 g/t gold, within 86.4 m of 1.65 g/t gold, and a separate interval of 12.2 m of 4.55 g/t gold within 94.0 m of 1.15 g/t gold
• Hole 76 was the deepest hole ever drilled at RC Gold with a drilled length of 810.8 m and strong gold mineralization encountered at the bottom of the hole suggests this high-grade gold zone continues deeper at the Blackjack zone
• Hole 76 is the second hole of a fully funded 30,000 m drilling program planned at RC Gold for 2025
• Drilling has resumed for the summer program with the first of four planned drills currently turning at the Blackjack deposit.

“The results from Hole 76 are very encouraging, confirming that the higher-grade gold mineralization intersected at depth in Holes 68 and 75 extends both laterally and to depth and could represent a large, continuous zone of significant tonnage,” said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka Gold. “While Hole 76 was the deepest drill hole completed to date at RC Gold, with a length of 810.8 metres, assays from the bottom of the hole returned strong gold values within mineralized metasediments, indicating that gold mineralization likely extends even deeper. We are now extending Hole 76 further into the depths of this gold system to continue tracking this promising high-grade gold zone as we push towards what could be the source of the Blackjack gold deposit. With a fully funded 30,000 metre diamond drill program currently underway, which will more than double the total amount of our drilling completed at RC Gold to date, we’re excited to test the depth potential of this impressive gold system and to begin exploring several other high-priority targets across the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex (see Figure 3).”
