{kanada_flagge} Until laboratory results are available, geologists must rely on visual evidence for gold exploration. One of the most reliable indications of drilling success is the presence of visible gold. This is precisely the phenomenon Sitka Gold Corp. (CSE:SIG; FRE:1RF; OTCQB:SITKF) has encountered six times in the 16 holes drilled to date during the current drilling season at its RC Gold Project in Yukon – each associated with defined quartz veins at depths ranging from 70 to 293 meters.
Drill holes 36 and 37 each encountered visible gold at two locations. (See Figure 1) Since February 2022, the Company has completed approximately 4990 meters of drilling in 16 holes. This represents the halfway point in the 10,000 metre drill program. All holes completed to date in the current phase of drilling have intersected significant intervals of mineralized quartz veins in intrusive and metasedimentary bedrock.

Cor Coe, P.Geo., Director and CEO of Sitka Gold, commented, “We are very encouraged by the continued mineralization and multiple occurrences of visible gold observed as we continue both laterally and vertically in all directions from discovery hole 21 in the Blackjack Zone. Given what has been observed in drill core, we expect that assay results from this phase of drilling to date will further expand the known gold mineralization in the area and increase the parameters of what appears to be a very significant intrusion-related gold occurrence. With a year-round access road and proximity to other infrastructure such as the highway and power lines, the RC Gold Project is in an ideal location for future development.”
CONCLUSION: It is a pleasure to see the original Blackjack discovery at the Sitka RC Gold Project growing and thriving in all directions. All 16 holes drilled this season have intersected significant intervals of mineralization. Visible gold has been encountered six times. This indicates the robustness of the project. Sitka’s CEO Cor Coe is correspondingly confident. Since, unlike many other projects in the Yukon, the project is accessible all year round by road, there is in principle no reason to take a winter break after 10,000 meters of drilling. There is much to suggest that Sitka could use this strategic advantage to continue drilling year-round (as it did last winter). After all, what counts for the market is not only the discovery as such, but also the speed of discovery. This is where Sitka could score.
