Sitka Gold Provides Update on $1.65 Million Non-Brokered
Private Placement
VANCOUVER, CANADA – June 27th, 2019: Sitka Gold Corp. (CSE: SIG) (the “Company” or
“Sitka”) announces that further to its news rele ase dated April 9, 2019, the Company is
proceeding with its non-brokered private placement of up to up to 15 million units (the “Units”) at
a price of $0.11 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,650,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit will
consist of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant
will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.16 for a period of
2 years from the date of closing of the private placement.
This private placement is being offered on a non-brokered basis in the Provinces of Alberta,
Yukon, British Columbia, Ontario and such other jurisdictions as the Company may determine in
its sole discretion and the Units will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a
day from the closing date of the Offering. The Company may pay a finder’s fee in accordance
with the rules and policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Offering remains subject
to regulatory approval.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to conduct drill programs at the
Burro Creek Gold and Alpha Gold properties and for general working capital.
Burro Creek Gold and Alpha Gold Properties
The Burro Creek Gold property is located in Mohave County, Arizona and is situated in an
active mining region that includes Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold Inc.’s neighbouring
Bagdad Mine and Northern Vertex Mining Corp.’s newly operational Moss Gold-Silver Mine. The
750 acre (303 ha) property is road accessible and is approximately 1.6 km from Interstate
Highway 93. Parallel high-tension power lines run adjacent to the property and water rights have
been secured, providing the project with excellent infrastructure for future development.
The Burro Creek Gold property covers a low-sulphidation epithermal vein system (the “Burro
Vein”) that hosts gold and silver Indicated and Inferred Historical Mineral Resource Estimates
(see news release dated September 21, 2018). The gold and silver mineralization has been
traced for over 1.7 km with vein widths of up to 45 meters and remains open for expansion
along strike near surface and at depth. Results from a Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil survey
returned an anomalous gold and silver trace across the basalt cover that is interpreted to be the
buried portion of the Burro Vein over a strike length of approximately 1.0 km (Figure 1). This
anomaly provides immediate drill targets to test the continuity of the Burro Vein and potential to
expand the known Historical Mineral Resource Estimate. Part of the proceeds from the Offering
will be used to drill test this anomaly.

The Alpha Gold property is located in Nevada’s prolific Carlin district and is situated where the
Garden Valley Anticline intersects with the projection of the 50-Million-Ounce Cortez-Gold trend
(Figure 2). 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. This is an ideal scenario for producing and
preserving a Carlin-type gold deposit, and is exactly what happened at the Pipeline (20 Moz),
Cortez Hills (15 Moz), and Goldrush (15 Moz) deposits along the Cortez trend (Figure 3).
Furthermore, anomalous gold has previously been identified within the late Devonian
carbonates of the Garden Valley Anticline. McEwen Mining Inc.’s nearby Gold Bar gold mine,
located on a parallel anticlinal trend, recently went into production. Part of the proceeds from the
Offering will be used to drill test the defined targets at Alpha Gold.
