Drilling Begins at Sitka’s Alpha Gold Property in Nevada

VANCOUVER, CANADA – February 16, 2021: Sitka Gold Corp. (“Sitka” or the “Company”)

(CSE:SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its

Alpha Gold Property located at the southeast end of Nevada’s prolific Cortez Gold Trend (see news

release dated February 12, 2021).

“The drill is turning at Alpha Gold,” stated Cor Coe, CEO of Sitka. “To stake this target at the end of

last year and subsequently obtain a drilling permit, procure a drill rig and commence drilling within a

handful of weeks is no small feat and speaks volumes to the talents of Sitka’s technical and

operational teams. This newly identified target at Alpha has the potential to host a Carlin-Type gold

deposit at an attractive depth and we are very much looking forward to the results from this drill

program.”

About Alpha Gold

Sitka Gold has acquired a 100% interest in the Alpha Gold Pro ject, located along the southeast

projection of the prolific Cortez Gold Trend in Eureka County, approximately 135 kilometres southwest

of Elko, Nevada. The Property is comprised of 2 claim blocks totaling 77 lode claims covering an area

of approximately 1540 acres (623 hectares) and is accessible via a dirt road, approximately 2km west

of Nevada State Highway 278.

The Property was initially staked after the location was recognized as the intersection of the regional-

scale Pine Valley anticline with northeasterly fold trends exposed in the Roberts Mountains. Of

primary importance at the Alpha Gold location is that the rocks have been down-dropped significantly

by late extensional faulting. Prior to extension, and during the critical 36 -42 Ma Carlin-type

mineralization event, the fold crest at Alpha Gold would have been a regional highpoint among nearby

mountain ranges. Well exposed ‘lower plate windows’ near Alpha Gold have been extensively

explored for Carlin-type gold deposits with a number of deposits found along the limbs.
