Sitka GOLD Intersects 25.0 Meters of 5.04 G/T GOLD, Including 1.8 Metres of 54.70 G/T GOLD Within 86.4 M of 1.65 G/T GOLD at Its Rc GOLD Project, Yukon

SITKA GOLD INTERSECTS 25.0 METERS OF 5.04 G/T
GOLD, INCLUDING 1.8 METRES OF 54.70 G/T GOLD
WITHIN 86.4 M OF 1.65 G/T GOLD AT ITS RC GOLD
PROJECT, YUKON
● DDRCC-25-076 (“Hole 76”) confirms and extends high-grade gold mineralization at
Blackjack with 25.0 m of 5.04 g/t gold, within 86.4 m of 1.65 g/t gold, and a separate
interval of 12.2 m of 4.55 g/t gold within 94.0 m of 1.15 g/t gold
● Hole 76 was the deepest hole ever drilled at RC Gold with a drilled length of 810.8 m
and strong gold mineralization encountered at the bottom of the hole suggests this high-
grade gold zone continues deeper at the Blackjack zone
● Hole 76 is the second hole of a fully funded 30,000 m drilling program planned at RC
Gold for 2025
● Drilling has resumed for the summer program with the first of four planned drills currently
turning at the Blackjack deposit.
VANCOUVER, CANADA – May 08, 2025: Sitka Gold Corp. (“Sitka” or the “Company”) (TSX-
V:SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTCQB:SITKF) is pleased to announce recently received assay results from
its ongoing 2025 diamond drilling campaign at its road accessible RC Gold Project (“RC Gold” or
the “Project”) located approximately 100 km east of Dawson City in Yukon’s prolific Tombstone
Gold Belt. Results from DDRCCC-25-076 (“Hole 76”) returned 94.0 m of 1.15 g/t gold including
12.2 m of 4.55 g/t gold, and a separate interval of 25.0 m of 5.04 g/t gold, including 1.8 metres
of 54.70 g/t gold within 86.4 m of 1.65 g/t gold (see Table 1). Drilling is currently underway at
the Blackjack zone and up to 3 additional drill rigs are expected to begin turning in the coming
weeks as part of a fully funded 30,000 metre diamond drilling program planned for 2025.
Table 1: Highlights from most recent assay results
Hole ID From (m) To (m) Interval (m)* Gold (g/t)
DDRCCC-25-076 437.0 531.0 94.0 1.15
including 454.4 466.6 12.2 4.55
and 580.6 667.0 86.4 1.65
including 591.0 616.0 25.0 5.04
including 612.6 614.4 1.8 54.70
*Intervals are drilled core length as insufficient drilling has been completed at this time to calculate true widths. Broad
intervals are calculated using a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off grade and 20 m waste limit.
“The results from Hole 76 are very encouraging, confirming that the higher -grade gold
mineralization intersected at depth in Holes 68 and 75 extends both laterally and to depth and
could represent a large, continuous zone of significant tonnage,” said Cor Coe, Director and CEO
of Sitka Gold. “While Hole 76 was the deepest drill hole completed to date at RC Gold, with a
length of 810.8 metres, assays from the bottom of the hole returned strong gold values within
mineralized metasediments, indicating that gol d mineralization likely extends even deeper. We
are now extending Hole 76 further into the depths of this gold system to continue tracking this
promising high-grade gold zone as we push towards what could be the source of the Blackjack
gold deposit. With a fully funded 30,000 metre diamond drill program currently underway, which
will more than double the total amount of our drilling completed at RC Gold to date, we’re excited
to test the depth potential of this impressive gold system and to begin exploring several other
high-priority targets across the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex (see Figure 3).”
Figure 1: Cross Section of DDRCCC-25-075 and DDRCCC-25-076, which is the deepest hole
drilled to date at the Blackjack zone. Hole 76 was drilled to a length of 810.8 m, approximately
100 metres deeper than any previous drilling and demonstrates that gold mineralization continues
to persist laterally and at depth. Strong gold grades encountered at the bottom of the hole suggest
this gold zone continues even deeper into the system.

DDRCCC-24-068, DDRCCC-25-075 and DDRCCC-25-076 (this release).
Figure 3: The Clear Creek Intrusive Complex in the western portion of the RC Gold Project
is a cluster of intrusions all with known gold mineralization and numerous current drill target areas
highlighted by the magenta hatched areas.
Figure 4: Longitudinal section of completed drill holes at the Blackjack Zone. Higher-grade
mineralization is defined in a southeast plunging mineralized corridor with gold grades increasing
at depth, as observed with the increasing prevalence of higher -grade gold results in recently
completed drill core (purple colour), and suggests that drilling is vectoring towards the source of
this gold system. The pit -constrained mineral resource shell from the 2023 MRE is shown in
orange with the added resources from the updated MRE published earlier this year shown in
yellow (see news release dated February 26, 2025).
Figure 5: Examples of drill core from the interval beginning at 492.0 m within the larger
interval that reports 94.0 m of 1.15 g/t gold. Mineralization consists of abundant narrow sheeted
veins cutting a feldspar megacrystic quartz monzonite intrusion.
Figure 6: Examples of instances of visible gold observed throughout hole DDRCCC -25-
076. Visible gold is found in sheeted quartz veins and is often associated with bismuthinite,
scheelite, and arsenopyrite. Additional images of visible gold observed in Hole 76 can be viewed
