Sitka Gold Corp. announced that it has recommenced the previously announced 15,000 metre diamond drilling program at its road accessible RC Gold Project ("RC Gold" or "the Project") located in the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt in the Yukon. Sitka successfully completed two diamond drill holes during the winter portion of this year's drilling program to test the continuity of higher-grade gold mineralization south of the Blackjack gold deposit.

A total of 1085 metres (m) was drilled during the winter program with visible gold observed in both drill holes and assay results that returned 191.0 m grading 1.16 g/t gold including 11.0 m of 5.80 g/t gold within 89.0 m of 2.03 g/t gold and 154.0 m of 1.47 g/t gold including 37.0 m of 3.07 g/t gold and 8.0 m of 4.61 g/t gold. In addition to extending Blackjack gold mineralization to the southeast, objectives for the Company's 2024 exploration season include further drilling of the Saddle East zone (84 m of 1.21 g/t gold drilled in 2023), further drilling of the Eiger Deposit (Inferred Resource of 440,000 oz gold published in 2023), further drilling of the Josephine Stock (visible gold discovered at surface in 2023) and further investigation of the nine known intrusions with associated gold mineralization that have been discovered to date on the Company's 386 square kilometre RC Project.
