Target areas are located ~30 km and ~60 km from the commercial airstrip in Kugluktuk and nearby tide waters which offer alternative commercial transport options as the Northwest Passage has recently become a viable shipping route.The Coppermine River Project is 100% owned by Sitka through its wholly owned subsidiary Arctic Copper Corp.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 8, 2025) - Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) (\"Sitka\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced diamond drilling at its 100% owned Coppermine River Project (\"Coppermine\" or the \"Project\") located near the town of Kugluktuk, Nunavut. This is the first drilling campaign of any type ever to be conducted at the Project. Azrock Drilling Corp., a highly experienced Canadian drilling contractor with a reputation for delivering efficient, quality production in Canada's remote north, has been contracted to complete up to 1,000 metres of diamond drilling as a first phase of drill testing at Coppermine. The focus of drilling will be to test two high priority copper targets, the Copper Leaf and the WIN showings (see Figures 1 to 3), which were previously defined by the Company during initial mapping, surface sampling and geophysical surveys that were conducted between 2015 and 2019. Results of up to 13.45% copper and 65.0 g/t silver were returned from surface grab samples at Copper Leaf during this time while up to 41.54% copper and 36.0 g/t silver were returned in surface sampling at WIN*(1).*Grab samples referred to in t...
