SITKA DRILLS 180.0 METRES OF 1.04 G/T GOLD WITHIN
305.2 METRES OF 0.78 G/T GOLD AT ITS RC GOLD
PROJECT, YUKON
VANCOUVER, CANADA – November 30, 2022: Sitka Gold Corp. (“Sitka” or the
“Company”) (CSE:SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTCQB:SITKF) is pleased to release assay results for
two additional diamond drill holes completed as part of the Company’s Phase II summer 2022
drilling program at its road accessible 376 square kilometre RC Gold Project (“RC Gold” or the
“Project”), located in the Yukon’s Tombstone Gold Belt (“TGB”). Sixteen diamond drill holes
were completed totaling 5,250 metres (m) during the Phase II drilling program, with assays
previously released for the first eleven holes (see Company news releases dated September
7, 2022 and November 18, 2022) and an additional three holes still pending assay results.
Gold assay highlights from this release:
● 401.5 m of 0.63 g/t Au from 73.0 m in DDRCCC-22-038, including
305.2 m of 0.78 g/t Au from 79.8 m depth, and including
180.0 m of 1.04 g/t Au from 176.0 m depth.
Cor Coe, P.Geo., Director and CEO of Sitka Gold Corp. commented, “Step out drilling at the
Blackjack zone continues to deliver very impressive results with these latest drill holes
demonstrating the persistence of attractive gold grades within this recently discovered gold
zone. Diamond drill hole 38 (DDRCCC -22-038 or “Hole 38”) was collared 175 metres (m)
southeast of the Blackjack zone discovery Hole 21 (DDRCCC -21-021 or “Hole 21”) and
intersected 180 m of 1.04 g/t gold, demonstrating the continuity of higher grades (>1 g/t gold)
within the Blackjack zone as we step out from Hole 21, which intersected 220.1m of 1.17 g/t
gold from surface (see news release dated December 17, 2021). Hole 38 was the furthest
step out to the SE from Hole 21 completed to date. In addition to the higher grade core, the
entire mineralized section of Hole 38 graded 0.63 g/t gold over 401.5 m which is comparable
to the 0.63 g/t gold resource (2) at Victoria Gold’s producing Eagle Gold Mine, an Intrusion
Related Gold Deposit (IRGD) in the Tombstone Gold Belt (TGB) which is an analog to our
Blackjack target. Hole 38 was drilled on the same section as DDRCCC -22-025 (see Figures
1 and 2) which intersected 221.0 m of 1.01 g/t gold while the entire mineralized section of
Hole 25 graded 0.71 g/t gold over 349.0 m (see news release dated June 13, 2022). Several
instances of visible gold were noted throughout Hole 38, and structural measurements taken
from these visible gold sections and other well mineralized sections of the Hole corroborates
the Company’s existing geologic modelling that indicates the st eeply-dipping east -west
sheeted quartz veining as hosting the bulk of the gold mineralization. The gold mineralization
in Hole 38 was the deepest intersection to date within the Blackjack zone and has increased
the vertical extent of known mineralization to 545 m.
“Step-out drilling continues to add to the potential scale and grade of the Blackjack gold zone
that remains open both laterally and to depth. Assays are still pending for the final two holes
drilled in 2022 in the Blackjack zone (DDRCCC -22-039 and -040) which intersected sheeted
quartz veining within intrusive rocks and had visible gold in their core. We expect these
pending drill holes will further expand this exciting new gold zone which is located within a
large gold-in-soil anomaly of >100 ppb to > 500 ppb that is approximately 2 km long (Figure
3) where drilling to date has demonstrated the potential to host a continuous zone of gold
mineralization across its length. While we await the pending assays, the Company is eagerly
planning the next phase of drilling at RC Gold to follow up on these impressive results as we
work toward building tonnage and determining the parameters of this gold rich zone”.

Drillhole DDRCCC-22-037 was collared near the northwest extent of the Blackjack zone and
drilled at an azimuth of 125 degrees to the southeast. The hole encountered metasedimentary
country rock for the majority of its 305.0 m length punctuated with short zones of multiphase
intrusive dyke and sill swarms which were generally associated with the higher gold grades.
The hole was highly anomalous in gold, returning 256.0 metres averaging 0.23 g/t gold from
13.0 metres depth.

Drillhole DDRCCC -22-038 (“Hole 38”) was drilled as a step -back hole on -section with
DDRCCC-22-025 which as previously reported intersected 349.0 metres at 0.71 g/t gold (see
Company news release dated June 13, 2022). Hole 38 collared in metasedimentary ro cks
before transitioning into multiphase intrusive dikes and sills at 153 metres depth to 492.9
metres depth. The entire mineralized section of Hole 38 graded 0.63 g/t gold over 401.5 m
including 180 m of 1.04 g/t gold . Abundant instances of visible gold were noted throughout
the hole, and structural measurements taken from these and other well mineralized sections
of Hole 38 corroborates the Company’s existing geologic modelling that indicates the steeply-
dipping east-west sheeted quartz veining as hosting the bulk of the gold mineralization.

The second phase of drilling was designed to further expand the Blackjack Zone and provide
Sitka geologists with a solid database of drilling data to understand controls on mineralization
observed in both intrusive and metasedimentary host rocks while also potentially providing the
necessary spatial density to generate an initial resource estimate. Assay results from Phase
II drilling along with structural information obtained from oriented drilling, data from detailed
core logging, reprocessed Lidar data and interpretation of an airborne magnetic geophysical
survey will form the basis for planning of a Phase III drilling program.
