Sitka Gold to Acquire 100% Interest in the Alpha Gold Property

Vancouver, Canada – February 13th, 2018: Sitka Gold Corp. (CSE:SIG) (the “Company” or

“Sitka”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the

“Agreement”) with Objective Exploration LLC (“Objective”) to purchase the Alpha Gold Property

(“Alpha Gold” or the “Property”) located along the southeast projection of the prolific Cortez Gold

Trend in Eureka County, Nevada.

About Alpha Gold

The Property is comprised of a claim block of 50 lode claims covering an area of approximately

1000 acres (405 ha). Objective staked the Property 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 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 in the Cortez district. Well exposed ‘lower plate windows’

near Alpha Gold have been extensively explored for Carlin -type gold deposits with a number of

smaller deposits found along the limbs.

Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka comments: “The acquisition of Alpha Gold reinforces the

Company’s current objective of exploring for potential district scale Carlin-type gold deposits in this

prolific region of Nevada by identifying highly prospective areas that fulfill geological, geochemical

and structural criteria, and complements the Company’s Adobe Gold Property where the Company

is currently preparing to drill three prospective Carlin-type gold targets in early 2018”.

The Acquisition

To acquire a 100% interest in the Property, the Company must: (i) grant Objective a 1.5% Net

Smelter Return (NSR) with the right to purchase all of the NSR for $3.0 million USD; (ii) pay

Objective $10,000 USD annually as an advance royalty until 2039 or until purchase of the NSR; (iii)

pay Objective an additional $10,000 USD annually in cash or shares after 10,000 feet of drilling has

been conducted on the Property until 2039 or until purchase of the NSR; ( iv) pay Objective an

additional $20,000 USD annually in cash or shares after 50,000 feet of drilling has been conducted

2

on the Property until 2039 or until purchase of the NSR; (v) pay all fees to file and maintain the

Property.
