(TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQX: SITKF) (\"Sitka\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce assay results from the first drill hole completed during its 2026 exploration campaign and to provide an update on the 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. Analytical results for drill hole DDRCCC-26-121 have been received and compiled and are reported herein. These results significantly expand the high-grade gold zone discovered at depth below the current Blackjack resource envelope (see Figure 5) and continue to demonstrate the strong scale potential of the broader Clear Creek Intrusive Complex (CCIC; see Figures 6 and 7). Highlights of the reported drill hole include 273.8 metres of 1.10 g/t gold, including 94.0 metres of 1.8 g/t gold and 19.3 metres of 5.04 g/t gold. These results represent one of the strongest deep drill intersections encountered to date at Blackjack. Hole DDRCCC-26-121 is the only drill hole with a complete set of assays received to date. Assays are pending for all additional holes completed during the 2026 drill campaign.\n\n\"We are very encouraged by these first results from our 2026 drill campaign, which continue to demonstrate the exceptional scale and expansion potential of the Blackjack deposit,\" said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka Gold Corp. \"Hole 121, the deepest hole ever drilled at RC Gold, successfully extended high-grade g...
