Sitka Gold Corp. Announces Closing of $2.8 Million Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia – December 23, 2021 – Sitka Gold Corp. (“Sitka” or the “Company”)
(CSE: SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTCQB:SITKF) is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private
placement (the “Private Placement”), whereby the Company has completed the issuance of
16,570,354 flow through units (each, a “FT Unit”) at a price of $0.17 per FT Unit for gross proceeds
of $2,816,960.
Each FT Unit consists of one flow-through common share of the Company (a “FT Share”) and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) for
a period of 2 years from the date of issue at an exercise price of $0.23 per Warrant Share.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued 376,604 finder’s warrants (the
“Finder’s Warrants”) and paid commissions of $64,018 to certain finders. Each Finder’s Warrant will
entitle the holder, on exercise thereof, to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a
price of $0.23 per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.
Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord Genuity”) acted as financial advisor to the Company in
connection with the Private Placement. In consideration for such services, the Company has agreed
to issue to Canaccord Genuity 108,696 common shares at an issue price of $0.23 per common share.
The securities offered in the Private Placement are subject to a four month and a day transfer
restriction from the date of issuance expiring on April 24, 2022, in addition to such other restrictions
as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration on its RC Gold
Project.

About the RC Gold Project
The RC Gold Project consists of a 376 square kilometre contiguous district-scale land package located
in the newly road accessible Clear Creek, Big Creek, and Sprague Creek districts in the heart of Yukon's
Tintina Gold Belt and of the Tombstone Gold Belt. It is the largest consolidated land package
strategically positioned mid-way between Victoria Gold's Eagle Gold Mine—Yukon’s newest gold
mine which reached commercial production in the summer of 2020—and Golden Predator's Brewery
Creek Gold Mine. The RC Gold Project land package comprises five underlying properties, namely,
the RC, Bee Bop, Mahtin, Clear Creek, and Barney Ridge properties*.
Sitka inherited a wealth of historical and current data from these properties from work spanning the
last 40 years. Recent exploration work and the compilation of historical data have defined several
mineralized zones with both bulk tonnage, intrusion-related gold deposit targets and high-grade,
vein- and breccia-hosted gold targets. The RC Gold Project also has a common border with Victoria
Gold’s Clear Creek property at its western boundary and Florin Resources’ Florin Gold property at its
northern boundary.
