EXCERPT today's news from Sitka:
Sitka Provides an Update on Drilling at Its RC Gold Project, Yukon, with Visible Gold Observed in All Holes Drilled to Date at the Rhosgobel Target
- Drilling at Rhosgobel, 5 km to the south of the Blackjack gold deposit, continues to intersect RIRGS mineralization with visible gold observed in all holes drilled to date
- The 9 holes completed to date at Rhosgobel have outlined gold mineralization for over 250 m along strike, with mineralization extending from surface to a depth of ~350 m, and continues to be open in all directions
- Drilling continues to significantly expand known gold mineralization at Blackjack, Saddle and Eiger where several instances of visible gold have been observed in recent drilling
- Drilling at Saddle confirms mineralized intrusive sill over a 350 m strike length
- Over 15,000 m completed of the ongoing 30,000 m diamond drilling program at RC Gold
- Four drill rigs are currently turning at the Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger and Rhosgobel targets
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 10, 2025) - Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) ("Sitka" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the fully-funded 30,000 metre diamond drill program currently in progress at its 100% owned RC Gold Project located in the Yukon's prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. The drilling is progressing exceptionally well, with over 15,000 metres of this year's drill program already completed. Visible gold continues to be observed in multiple drill holes across all the target areas currently being drilled, namely the Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger, and Rhosgobel targets (see Figures 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9).
"The drilling at RC Gold continues to impress with multiple occurrences of visible gold being observed in nearly all the drill holes completed so far this summer at each of the four target areas currently being drilled," said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka Gold. "These target areas, namely the Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger and Rhosgobel targets, encompass a 3 km x 5 km area within the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex (see Figure 9). We're particularly encouraged by what we're seeing at Rhosgobel, where visible gold has been noted in each of the 9 drill holes completed to date, from near surface to depths exceeding 300 metres. While assay results are still needed to confirm the extent of gold mineralization, the consistent observations of visible gold in the drill core of these initial step-out holes at Rhosgobel is a strong indicator of the continuity of gold mineralization across this target area and bodes very well for the definition of third intrusion related gold deposit discovery within the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex. The endowment of gold-rich mineralization within the CCIC is becoming more apparent as we continue to systematically advance several targets across this large gold system. I've worked on many intrusion-related gold projects during my career and I've never come across a system of this magnitude where an abundance of visible gold mineralization is present in drill core across such a large area. With over half of our 30,000 metre drill program now complete, we eagerly await the assay results from Rhosgobel, along with additional results for the Blackjack, Saddle and Eiger targets and look forward to seeing what the second half of the largest drill program ever conducted at RC Gold reveals."
