Sitka Drills 145.0 Metres of 0.92 g/t Gold, Including 15.5 Metres of 4.22 g/t Gold at Blackjack, and Provides Update on Its RC Gold Project, Yukon
- DDRCCC-25-092 returned 145.0 m averaging 0.92 g/t gold, including 41.8 m of 1.94 g/t gold and 15.5 m of 4.22 g/t gold at Blackjack
- Drilling at the Saddle zone, within the conceptual pit limit of the Blackjack deposit, returned 27.7 m of 1.90 g/t gold and 26.6 m of 1.82 g/t gold from surface in DDRCCC-25-093 and -096 respectively
- 29,264 metres within 81 holes completed to date this year within the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex across the Blackjack-Saddle-Eiger corridor, the Rhosgobel discovery, Pukelman, Contact, and Bear Paw Breccia targets
- Visible gold, commonly associated with bismuthinite, identified in 82% of drill holes completed within the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex
- Drilling has been expanded beyond the planned 30,000 metre program
- 4 drill rigs currently operating with 3 drills currently focused on the new Rhosgobel discovery and 1 drill turning at the Pukelman target
- Visible gold intersected in the majority of holes completed at Rhosgobel; drilling is progressing rapidly with 33 holes completed this year testing a strike length of approximately 1.1 km
- Assay results for 55 holes currently pending across all target areas drilled this year
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 4, 2025) - Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) ("Sitka" or the "Company") is pleased to announce recently received assay results and provide an update on its ongoing 30,000 metre diamond drilling program currently underway at its 100% owned, road accessible RC Gold Project located in the Yukon's prolific Tombstone Gold Belt. Results from drilling at Blackjack continue to demonstrate the potential to add meaningful ounces to the existing Blackjack deposit while assay results from the Saddle zone, including 27.7 metres of 1.90 g/t gold from surface and 26.6 metres of 1.82 g/t gold, including 4.0 metres of 7.8 g/t gold, from surface in DDRCCC-25-093 and -096 respectively, demonstrate strong consistency of higher-grade gold mineralization beginning near surface within the conceptual Blackjack pit shell (see Figure 2). Drilling also continues to expand the mineralized footprint at the Rhosgobel discovery with several instances of visible gold observed in multiple drill holes completed to date across a 1.1 km strike length (see Figures 1 and 7). Visible gold has also been observed in drilling at the Eiger, Pukelman, Contact and Bear Paw target areas (see Figure 1). Assay results for 55 holes completed across a 7 kilometre stretch within the Clear Creek Intrusion Complex, including the Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger, Pukelman, Contact, Rhosgobel and Bear Paw areas, are currently pending. Drilling is planned to extend beyond the initial 30,000 metre goal that was planned for 2025.
