Sitka Gold Mobilizes Crew and Equipment for Drill Program at its
Alpha Gold Property in Nevada
VANCOUVER, CANADA – June 10 , 2020 : Sitka G old Corp. (“Sitka” or the “Company” )
(CSE:SIG) (FSE:1RF) is pleased to announce that it has begun mobilizing crew and equipment in
preparation for the upcoming drill program at its Alpha Gold Property (“Alpha Gold” or the “Property”)
located in Nevada’s prolific Carlin District where the projection of the Cortez Gold trend intersects with
the Garden Valley Anticline (See Figure 1). Permits for a 12-hole drill program have been secured to
test a Carlin -type gold deposit target where the prime Late Devonian carbonate host horizon is
believed to be preserved at a minable depth at the contact between the Webb formation and the
Devil’s Gate formation (see Figure 2). The Webb -Devil’s Gate contact zone hosts McEwen Mining’s
Gold Bar deposit, located nearby on a par allel anticlinal trend, and is considered the most favourable
host for gold mineralization in the Roberts Mountains. McEwen Mining recently be gan commercial
production at the Gold Bar deposit.
The target area at Alpha Gold has never been drilled and Sitka has secured DrillRite LLC, an
experienced and highly regarded exploration drill contractor based in Elko, Nevada, to carry out its
drilling program at the Property.
Cor Coe , chief executive office r of Sitka, commented, “We are very pleased to announce th e
mobilization of crew and equipment to the Alpha Gold Property . Alpha Gold presents an exciting
target in the heart of Nevada’s Carlin District. The Property is ideally positioned at the intersection of
the Garden Valley Anticline and the projection of th e Cortez Gold Trend which hosts over 50 million
ounces of gold including the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush mega gold deposits (1). We are eager
to get the drill turning and the results compiled from this maiden drill program at Alpha Gold.”

About Alpha Gold
Sitka G old has acquired a 100% interest in the Alpha Gold Property, 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 a claim block of 50 lode claims covering an area of
approximately 1000 acres (405 hectares) and is accessible via a dirt road, approximately 2km west of
Nevada State Highway 278.
The Property was 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 durin g 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 windows’ near Alpha Gold have been extensively explored for
Carlin-type gold deposits with a number of deposits found along the limbs.
Sitka also announces that it has granted 500,000 incentive stock options to a consultant of the
Company. The options are exercisable at $0.17 per share for a period of 5 years from the date of
grant and are subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
