Sitka Gold Corp. announce that it has secured a drilling contractor to complete winter and summer diamond drilling programs at its RC Gold Project ("RC Gold" or the "Project") located in the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt in the Yukon. Preparation of crew and equipment is currently underway and mobilization for the winter drilling program is expected within the next two weeks.

The drill programs at RC Gold will follow up with step out drilling on the recently announced discovery hole DDRCCC21-021 ("Hole 21") that returned 220.1 m of 1.17 g/t gold from surface, including 50.5 m of 2.08 g/t gold. Additional systematic drilling is also planned along a large, overlying >100 ppb to >500 ppb gold-in-soil anomaly that is approximately 2 kilometres long by 500 metres wide and is interpreted to be the surface signature of a major intrusion-related gold system that was initially discovered in 2020. Additional results from five drill holes from the 2021 diamond drilling campaign at RC Gold are still pending and will be released once assay results have been received and compiled.
