Sitka Gold Completes 2022 Drilling Program at the Alpha
Gold Project in Nevada
VANCOUVER, CANADA – November 21, 2022: Sitka Gold Corp. (“Sitka'' or the “Company”)
(CSE:SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTCQB:SITKF) is pleased to ann ounce the conclusion of the current
phase of 2022 drilling at its Alpha Gold Project (“Alpha Gold” or the “Project”) located on the
southeast projection of the Cortez gold trend, approximately 40 kilometres (km) southeast of the
Nevada Gold Mines Cortez Co mplex. A total of 1,374.65 metres (m) in four holes (AG22 -09 -
AG22-12) targeting the Horse Canyon equivalent/Devil’s Gate Limestone contact which is the
uppermost of several highly prospective gold-bearing host rock horizons (Figure 1). All four holes
displayed intervals of strong Carlin-type alteration associated with north to north-northwest normal
faults mapped at surface and observed downhole.
Results from the first two drill holes, AG22 -09 and AG22 -10, were previously announced and
returned values up to 21.3 m of 1.21 g/t Au including 1.5 m of 4.62 g/t Au and 10.7 m of 0.51
g/t Au respectively (see news release dated October 6, 2022). S amples from the last two drill
holes (AG22-11 and AG22 -12) have been submitted to the ALS Global facility in Elko, Nevada
with results pending.
Cor Coe, CEO and Director of Sitka Gold comments, “We are very pleased to have completed
another phase of drilling at Alpha Gold where we continue to advance the Carlin-type gold system
that was discovered last year. Results re ceived from the first two holes completed during this
phase of drilling (AG22-09 and AG22-10) returned our best gold intervals to date while alteration
and mineralization observed in the last two drill holes completed (AG22 -11 and AG22 -12) have
significantly expanded the known footprint of this system with their massive step outs of 940 m
and 5,600 m respectively SSE from AG22 -10 (see Figure 1 and news release dated October 6,
2022), adding to the exceptional tonnage potential of this target. Drilling has p rogressively
produced larger intervals with better gold grades as we continue to vector toward the core of this
recently discovered gold system. The visual observations of holes 11 and 12 have greatly
enhanced our understanding of the geological controls of this system and we are eagerly awaiting
their pending assay results as we plan for the next phase of drilling at Alpha Gold.”
AG22-12 reached a total depth of 416.05 m, oriented due east at -75 degrees inclination. An
unanticipated, steeply west dippin g, major mineralized structure was encountered in the upper
part of the hole. Fault related alteration in the non -reactive shale and chert units attest to its
potential as a mineralization conduit and highly prospective target generator in favorable
stratigraphy at depth. The main strand of the fault is intruded by an altered rhyolite dike,
analogous to gold mineralized structures at Alpha NW (see news release dated October 6, 2022),
5.6 kilometers to the NNW further supporting the inferred projection of that gold mineralized
anticline and fault/dike trend into the Frazier Creek target area (Figure 1). Details of the fault zone
comprised of three strands in AG22-12 are as follows: The first strand at 103.63 - 118.87 m has
a mixed limonitic and pyritic ha ngingwall of Upper Devonian Shale unit, a clay -silica-limonite
altered damage zone, and a pyritic footwall of Devonian Chert unit. The main strand from 140.21
- 161.5 m contained a strongly clay -silica-pyrite altered rhyolite dike with a very visually
prospective silicified pyritic halo in the Devonian Shale unit. A zone of increased pyrite and heavy
slickenside development was then encountered from 170.69 - 219.46 m, again in the Devonian
Shale unit. The structure was not recognized on surface prior to being revealed by drilling. Poorly
exposed strong clay-hematite-silica alteration on surface is now recognized as related to the main
strand of the fault which strikes north. This alteration blends into less intense, more widespread
alteration present across much of the target area.
AG22-11 was collared 940 m SSE of AG22 -10 (Figure 1). The hole was directed WSW toward
the inferred projection of the structural zone and encountered a rhyolite dike -filled fault zone
followed by decalcification and pyrite mineralization in the Horse Canyon equivalent host horizon.
The hole was completed to the top of the Devils Gate Limestone at 522.73 m.

About Alpha Gold
Sitka Gold has acquired a 100% interest in the Alpha Gold Project, located along the southeast
projection of the prolific Cortez Gold Trend in Eureka County, approximately 135 kilometres
southwest of Elko, Nevada. The Project is comprised of one contiguous claim block totaling 239
lode claims covering an area of approximately 4,780 acres (1,934 hectares) and is accessible via
a dirt road, approximately 2 km west of Nevada State Highway 278.
The Project was initially staked after the location was recognize d as the intersection of the
regional-scale Pine Valley anticline with northeasterly fold trends exposed in the Roberts
Mountains. Overprinting NNW folds coincident with the projection of the Cortez Trend were
subsequently recognized and found to be import ant alteration and mineralization controls. 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 mineralizatio n 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 t he
limbs.
Three previous drill programs totaling 2604 meters in 8 holes have been completed at Alpha Gold
since its acquisition and have advanced the Project from an undrilled geologic concept with a
surface alteration and pathfinder element anomaly, to a large wide-open Carlin-type gold system
with thick, low-grade gold intercepts, from wide-spaced drilling.
