SITKA EXPANDS ALPHA GOLD LAND PACKAGE IN NEVADA

VANCOUVER, CANADA – March 18, 2021: Sitka Gold Corp. (“Sitka” or the “Company”)

(CSE:SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) is pleased to announce that it has located an additional 30

claims at its Alpha Gold Project, located along the southeast projection of the prolific Cortez Gold

Trend in Eureka County, approximately 135 kilometres southwest of Elko, Nevada (Figure 1). The

Alpha Gold Project now totals 93 claims covering an area of approximately 1860 acres or 753

hectares (Figure 2). The new claims complete coverage of potential mineralization east and southeast

of drill hole AG21-03 (see news release dated March 10, 2021).

Key Points Regarding Recent Developments at Alpha Gold:

• AG21-03 intersected strong, Carlin-type, alteration at a prime stratigraphic horizon, known as

the Webb/Devils Gate contact in the Roberts Mountains, time equivalent to the Horse

Canyon/Wenban contact at Goldrush approximately 40 km to the north along the Cortez Trend

(Figure 3).

• AG21-03 is located down dip from surface gold geochemical anomalies to the northwest and

up dip from a rhyolitic volcanic and hypabyssal intrusive complex to the southeast.

• Mercury, arsenic, and thallium results from initial sampling in Webb Fm and Devonian Shale

well above the Devils Gate contact east of AG21-03 definitively strengthen towards the rhyolite

complex.

• The emerging mineralization alignment is located in the hanging wall anticline of an

interpreted, northwest, moderate angle, thrust fault and spatially associated with normal faults

carrying Carlin age rhyolite dikes. The moderate angle thrust fault is broadly analogous to the

Abyss thrust at the Pipeline deposit located at the northern end of the Cortez Trend (Figure 3).

Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka comments: “The importance of some of these geological features

was not fully recognized prior to the information gathered from these latest drill holes. We knew this

area contained all of the basic elements of a Cortez Trend, Carlin-type gold deposit and now the initial

drilling has shown us where those elements are. Our systematic approach to testing our geological

model and adjusting its parameters as new data is collected continues to successfully advance the

Alpha Gold Project. The Company plans on continuing with an aggressive follow-up drilling program

pending assays results for AG21-03 and continued geological assessment.”

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 totalling 93 lode claims covering an area

of approximately 1860 acres (753 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 window s’ near Alpha Gold have been extensively

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