Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) (“Sitka” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that multiple occurrences of visible gold have been observed, beginning near surface, in the first six drill holes to be completed by the Company at the Contact zone. Visible gold has now been observed in the drill core from every target that has been drilled within the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex so far this year, including Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger and Rhosgobel. Up to 5,000 metres of drilling is currently underway at the Contact-Pukelman zone (see Figures 3, 4 and 6) as part of the fully funded 30,000 metre diamond drill program currently underway at Sitka’s 100% owned, road accessible RC Gold Project located in the Yukon’s prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. Over 25,000 metres of drilling has been completed at RC Gold this year where drilling has focused on growing the Blackjack and Eiger deposits, expanding the mineralized footprint of the Saddle zone, and testing the potential of the Rhosgobel, Contact-Pukelman and Bear Paw targets to host additional intrusion-related gold deposits. Four drill rigs are currently operating on the Project with two rigs at Pukelman, one rig at Rhosgobel and one rig at Bear Paw (see Figure 6) with assay results currently pending for 52 holes.
“The Contact zone is now the fifth target drilled by Sitka Gold in 2025 to yield multiple occurrences of visible gold within the core of the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex,” said Cor Coe, CEO and Director of Sitka Gold. “The widespread and robust gold mineralization being intersected in our drilling across this area continues to demonstrate that the RC Gold project is a unique gold camp with multiple intrusions that display the potential to host several multi-million ounce gold deposits within this relatively small 3 by 5 kilometre core area. With an existing multi-million ounce gold resource open for expansion and numerous other high-quality targets within the 431 square kilometre land package, RC Gold is quickly emerging as the foundation of a potential new mining district in the Yukon.”

Recent drilling at the Contact Zone has intersected VG in all six holes completed so far this year, including the largest VG particles observed on the property in drill core to date (scale is the same for all pictures).
