VANCOUVER,
CANADA
–
October
14,
2026:
Sitka
Gold
Corp.
(“Sitka”
or
the
“Company”)
(TSX-V:SIG)
(FSE:1RF)
(OTCQX:SITKF)
is
pleased
to
announce
assay
results
from
four
diamond
drill
holes
completed
at
the
Saddle
Zone
and
the
Eiger
deposit,
and
to
provide
an
update
on
the
planned
60,000
metre
diamond
drilling
program
currently
underway
at
its
100%
owned,
road
accessible
RC
Gold
Project
("RC
Gold"
or
the
"Project")
in
Canada's
Yukon
Territory.
These
results
show
continued
expansion
of
gold
mineralization
across
the
Blackjack–Eiger
area.
At
the
Saddle
Zone,
Hole
intersected
236.0
m
of
1.15
g/t
gold,
including
71.0
m
of
2.79
g/t
gold,
36.3
metres
of
3.31
g/t
gold
and
21.9
metres
of
3.25
g/t
gold.
The
grade
is
carried
by
two
separate
higher-grade
cores,
and
mineralization
continues
below
with
a
further
34.0
metres
of
1.11
g/t
gold
from
543.0
metres.
Drilling
this
year
at
the
Saddle
Zone,
which
is
located
within
the
Blackjack
pit
shell,
continues
to
intersect
broad
intervals
of
strong
gold
values
in
an
area
classified
as
waste
in
the
current
MRE
and
demonstrates
the
potential
of
this
area
to
add
significant
tonnage
to
a
future
Blackjack
MRE
update.
At
the
Eiger
Deposit,
step-out
hole
returned
45.5
m
of
1.16
g/t
gold,
including
4.5
m
of
9.26
g/t
gold,
from
182.5
metres
and
a
second
interval
of
16.4
m
of
1.95
g/t
gold
from
303.6
m.
Meanwhile,
Hole
returned
18.1
m
of
2.36
g/t
gold
from
287.0
m.
This
year’s
step-out
holes
to
the
west
of
Eiger
have
been
intersecting
higher-grade
intervals
than
what
has
previously
been
seen
within
the
deposit,
suggesting
a
higher-grade
gold
zone
could
be
developing
as
mineralization
is
extended
west
towards
Saddle.
With
Saddle
extending
mineralization
east
from
Blackjack
and
Eiger
expanding
to
the
west,
the
two
deposits
continue
to
grow
toward
each
other
along
the
km
long
Blackjack–Eiger
area.
In
addition,
a
dominant
lamprophyre
dyke
that
marks
a
major
conduit
for
gold
mineralization
has
been
shown
by
drilling
to
continue
from
Blackjack
to
Eiger,
providing
a
clear
linkage
between
the
two
deposits.
The
modeling
of
this
main
lamprophyre
dyke
within
the
km
extensional
corridor
provides
a
clear
target
for
future
drilling
to
connect
not
only
the
Blackjack-Eiger
deposits
but
also
for
targeting
mineralization
within
the
entire
corridor
which
projects
west
of
Blackjack
and
east
from
Eiger
to
the
Josephine
Intrusion
target
(see
Figure
8).

“Drilling
within
the
Blackjack-Saddle-Eiger
corridor
continues
to
impress,
with
Hole
returning
some
of
the
best
results
seen
to
date
from
the
Saddle
Zone,”
stated
Cor
Coe,
CEO
and
Director
of
Sitka
Gold.
“The
strong
gold
values
intercepted
in
DDRCCC-26-156
demonstrate
that
the
Saddle
Zone
carries
significant
grades
at
depth
as
well
as
near
surface.
Given
that
the
Saddle
Zone
is
located
within
the
existing
Blackjack
pit
shell,
the
strong
gold
results
coming
from
this
year’s
drilling
across
the
Saddle
Zone
have
the
potential
to
add
significant
tonnage
to
a
future
MRE
update
for
the
Blackjack
Deposit.
In
addition,
stepout
holes
and
at
Eiger
have
also
returned
significant
gold
grades
that
continue
to
push
mineralization
west
toward
Saddle
-
Blackjack.
Drilling
has
also
confirmed
that
a
dominant
lamprophyre
dyke,
which
marks
a
major
structural
conduit
for
gold
mineralization,
continues
from
Blackjack
east
through
the
Saddle
Zone
and
to
the
Eiger
Deposit,
covering
a
distance
of
approximately
kilometres.
Together,
these
results
support
our
view
that
Blackjack,
Saddle
and
Eiger
may
ultimately
form
one
larger,
continuous
gold
system.
With
the
60,000
metre
program
nearing
completion,
which
will
effectively
double
the
total
amount
of
diamond
drilling
completed
to
date
at
RC
Gold,
we
look
forward
to
the
release
of
dozens
of
more
pending
drill
holes
and
an
updated
mineral
resource
estimate.”

Drilling
at
the
Saddle
zone
has
consistently
intersected
several
lamprophyre
dykes
that
define
the
km
Blackjack-Saddle-Eiger-Josephine
extensional
corridor.
The
drilling
has
confirmed
a
dominant
lamprophyre
that
is
continuous
from
the
Blackjack
deposit
through
the
Saddle
Zone
and
into
the
Eiger
deposit.
Gold
mineralization
has
been
consistently
intersected
in
the
hangwall
of
this
lamprophyre
within
both
intrusive
and
metasedimentary
host
rocks
as
seen
in
Hole
156,
which
returned
some
of
the
strongest
intercepts
drilled
to
date
at
Saddle.
Geological
modelling
of
the
lamprophyre
and
previous
geological
mapping,
rock
and
soil
sampling
suggests
that
this
lamprophyre
extends
west
of
the
Blackjack
deposit
and
east
of
the
Eiger
deposit
towards
the
Josephine
intrusion.
The
modeling
of
this
main
lamprophyre
dyke
that
is
marking
a
conduit
for
gold
mineralization
within
the
km
corridor
provides
a
clear
target
for
future
drilling
to
connect
not
only
the
Blackjack-Eiger
deposits
but
also
as
a
target
for
future
drilling
to
target
mineralization
within
the
entire
corridor
(see
Figure
8).
This
includes
the
Josephine
target,
where
mapping
has
discovered
lamprophyre
dykes,
along
with
visible
gold
and
sheeted
veins,
and
where
the
only
diamond
hole
that
has
been
drilled
into
the
intrusion
to
date
has
confirmed
reduced
intrusion
related
gold
mineralization
is
present,
including
up
to
6.0
m
of
0.85
g/t
gold
(see
news
release
dated
December
21,
2023).
The
2026
drill
program
continues
to
successfully
intersect
broad
zones
of
Reduced
Intrusion-Related
Gold
System
(RIRGS)
mineralization
across
the
Blackjack,
Eiger,
and
Rhosgobel
deposits,
further
expanding
and
defining
known
gold
mineralization
at
all
three
of
these
deposits,
each
of
which
remains
open
in
all
directions.
Ongoing
drilling
at
Contact-Pukelman
also
continues
to
successfully
intersect
RIRGS
mineralization.
Six
drill
rigs
are
currently
turning
at
the
Project.

About
the
RC
Gold
Project
Sitka’s
100%
owned,
flagship
RC
Gold
Project
consists
of
a
square
kilometre
contiguous
district-scale
land
package
located
in
the
heart
of
Yukon’s
Tombstone
Gold
Belt.
The
project
is
located
approximately
kilometres
east
of
Dawson
City,
which
has
a
5,000
foot
paved
runway,
and
is
accessed
via
a
secondary
gravel
road
from
the
Klondike
Highway
which
is
usable
year-round
and
is
an
approximate
hour
drive
from
Dawson
City.
It
is
one
of
the
largest
consolidated
land
packages
strategically
positioned
mid-way
between
the
Eagle
Gold
Mine
and
the
past
producing
Brewery
Creek
Gold
Mine.
The
RC
Gold
Project
hosts
an
indicated
MRE
of
1,291,000
ounces
of
gold
and
an
inferred
MRE
of
3,829,000
ounces
of
gold
(see
Table
A
below)
hosted
within
three
at
surface,
road-accessible
pit
constrained
deposits.
The
60,000
metre
drill
program
planned
for
2026
is
focused
on
expanding
all
three
known
deposits
in
addition
to
testing
other
high
potential
targets
in
close
proximity
to
the
current
resources.

Totals
may

All
of
these
deposits
begin
at
surface
and
are
potentially
open
pit
minable.
Initial
bottle
roll
metallurgical
testing
confirmed
the
non-refractory
characteristics
of
the
gold
mineralization
and
returned
gold
extraction
rates
averaging
around
85%
for
the
Blackjack
and
Eiger
deposits.
Further
metallurgical
testwork
in
2024
for
Blackjack
and
Eiger
returned
recoveries
ranging
from
77.6
to
93%
for
gravity
followed
by
cyanidation.
Initial
bottle
roll
testing
for
Rhosgobel
has
confirmed
non-refractory
characteristics
of
the
gold
mineralization
with
two
composite
samples
returning
gold
recoveries
of
89%
and
96%.
Additional
metallurgical
testing
at
Rhosgobel
has
returned
an
average
gold
recovery
of
94.3%
using
conventional
whole
ore
cyanidation
leaching
and
an
initial
recovery
of
84.7%
tungsten
in
rougher
concentrate
using
conventional
flotation.
Metallurgical
testing
for
potential
silver
recovery
has
not
yet
been
completed.
For
the
purposes
of
the
current
resource
model,
it
is
assumed
that
a
likely
mill
flowsheet
would
consist
of
a
gravimetric,
flotation,
and
cyanidation
circuit.

Quality
Assurance/Quality

On
receipt
from
the
drill
site,
the
HTW/NTW-sized
drill
core
was
systematically
logged
for
geological
attributes,
photographed
and
sampled
at
Sitka’s
core
logging
facility.
Sample
lengths
as
small
as
0.3
m
were
used
to
isolate
features
of
interest,
otherwise
a
default
2.0
m
downhole
sample
length
was
used.
Each
sample
is
identified
by
a
unique
sample
tag
number
which
is
placed
in
the
bag
containing
the
core
to
be
assayed.
Core
was
cut
in
half
lengthwise
along
a
predetermined
line,
with
one-half
(same
half,
consistently)
collected
for
analysis
and
one-half
stored
as
a
record.
Standard
reference
materials,
blanks
and
duplicate
samples
were
inserted
by
Sitka
personnel
at
regular
intervals
into
the
sample
stream.
Bagged
samples
were
placed
in
secure
bins
to
ensure
integrity
during
transport.
They
were
delivered
by
Sitka
personnel
or
a
contract
expeditor
to
ALS
Laboratories’
preparatory
facility
in
Whitehorse,
Yukon,
with
analyses
completed
in
North
Vancouver.
ALS
is
accredited
to
ISO
17025:2005
UKAS
ref.
4028
for
its
laboratory
analysis.
Samples
were
crushed
by
ALS
to
over
per
cent
passing
below
two
millimetres
and
split
using
a
riffle
splitter.
One-thousand-gram
splits
were
pulverized
to
over
per
cent
passing
below
microns.
Gold
determinations
are
by
fire
assay
with
an
inductively
coupled
plasma
atomic
emission
spectroscopy
(ICP-AES)
finish
on
g
subsamples
of
the
prepared
pulp
(ALS
code:
Au-ICP-22).
Any
sample
returning
over
g/t
gold
was
re-analyzed
by
fire
assay
with
a
gravimetric
finish
on
a
g
subsample
(ALS
code:
Au-GRA21).
In
addition,
a
51-element
analysis
was
performed
on
a
0.5
g
subsample
of
the
prepared
pulps
by
an
aqua
regia
digestion
followed
by
an
inductively

and
information
can
be
identified
by
the
use
of
forward-looking
terminology
such
as
“intends”
or
“anticipates”,
or
variations
of
such
words
and
phrases
or
statements
that
certain
actions,
events
or
results
“may”,
“could”,
“should”,
“would”
or
“occur”.
This
information
and
these
statements,
referred

statements
will
prove
to
be
accurate,
as
actual
results
and
future
events
could
differ
materially
from
those
anticipated
in
such
statements.
Accordingly,
readers
should
not
place
undue
reliance
on
forward-looking
statements
and
forward-looking
information.
Readers
are
cautioned
that
reliance
on
such
information
may
not
be
appropriate
for
other
