Sitka is currently preparing for a winter diamond drilling program around hole 21 near Saddle West and is expecting to be drilling by the end of this month.
Figure 1: Plan view shows the approximately 2 kilometer corridor between Saddle West and Eiger. Saddle Ridge is located in between.
Figure 2: The longitudinal section shows that most of the drill holes have been drilled on Eiger. However, drill hole 21 two kilometers away produced the best results.
Sitka CEO Cor Coe stated, "We are very pleased with the results of our 2021 exploration program at the RC Gold Project. The drill holes indicate a gold system along a broad 2,000-meter structural corridor extending from the Saddle West Zone through the Saddle Ridge Zone to the Eiger Zone. Our understanding of the geological setting for mineralization in this system has grown tremendously over the past field season, and we are very excited about the opportunity to apply this knowledge to our upcoming drill programs planned for this winter and summer field seasons. Our focus this winter will be on following up on the Saddle West zone and results from hole 21."
Two drill holes, DDRCCC-21-016 and -017, were drilled in the Eiger Zone. Three holes, DDRCCC-21-018 to DDRCCC-21-020, were drilled in the Saddle Ridge Zone (see Figure 1) - approximately 750 metres east of the Saddle West Zone where DDRCCC-21-021 ("Hole 21") intersected 220.1 metres of 1.17 g/t gold from surface (see Company news release dated December 13, 2021). For technical details of the drill holes, please refer to the Company's press release.
Bottom line: it's important to keep in mind that Sitka Gold has worked on its massive 376-square-meter RC Gold Project in the Yukon for just two full drilling seasons. In 2020, Sitka risked six drill holes for the initial discovery at Eiger and Saddle West. Last year, 2021, 15 more drill holes followed, the last of which (drill hole 21) hit the mark. This is how exploration works! With each drill hole, Sitka geologists understand the gold system better. This knowledge will enable them to work more effectively and drill more selectively in the future. There are already indications that the discovered gold system extends over at least two kilometers. Specifically, Cor Coe suspects that drill hole 21 and drill hole 19 are related via a high-grade gold corridor. Both holes are 700 meters apart. We therefore look forward to the results of the upcoming winter drilling. They are expected to be extremely informative.
