[{"type":"text","content":" 60,000 m diamond drill program underway with multiple occurrences of visible gold reported in all holes completed so far this year at both the Blackjack and Rhosgobel target areas Rhosgobel drilling also continues to intersect additional coarse scheelite (a tungsten mineral) Four diamond drill rigs are currently active on the property with two additional rigs anticipated to mobilize in the coming weeks Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2026) - Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQX: SITKF) (\"Sitka\" or \"Sitka Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce positive observations from the initial drill holes at both the Blackjack and Rhosgobel deposits at the Company's flagship RC Gold Project, Yukon. Early success from the 60,000 metre drill program currently underway at the Project has identified multiple occurrences of visible gold in all the initial 2026 drill holes completed at both the Rhosgobel and Blackjack targets. Initial drilling at Rhosgobel also continues to intersect coarse scheelite mineralization (WO3), a common tungsten mineral. All assays for the initial drill holes completed this year are currently pending. \"Visual results from the initial 2026 drilling at our RC Gold Project are highly encouraging\", said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka Gold. \"We continue to see multiple occurrences of visible gold in the initial 2026 drill core from both Blackjack and Rhosgobel, along with additional tungsten mineralization at Rhosgobel, as we continue to expand drilling beyond the known mineralized envelopes of these wide open deposits. With three gold deposits discovered to date and 60,000 metres of planned drilling currently underway at RC Gold, including 30,000 metres at Rhosgobel, we look forward to rapidly expanding our known gold deposits while we simultaneously drill other high-priority targets that we believe show strong potential to host additional gold deposits.\" Figure 1: Examples of visible gold* with bismuthinite from initial 2026 diamond drilling at Blackjack and Rhosgobel targets. Multiple occurrences of visible gold have been observed in all the 2026 drill holes completed to date at the Blackjack and Rhosgobel targets. *While visible gold observations are very encouraging and confirm the presence of gold mineralization, they are not intended to imply potential gold gra...
