Sitka Gold ($SIG.V) has completed its 2026 diamond drilling program at the RC Gold Project in Yukon, totaling 59,531 m across 149 holes. Highlights: • Assays are pending for 90 holes totaling 30,242 m. • Drilling targeted resource expansion at Blackjack, Rhosgobel and Eiger, along with additional targets at Saddle, Pukelman/Contact and Bear Paw. • Visible gold was identified in hole DDRCCC-26-190 within a mineralized lamprophyre dyke at Pukelman. • A major lamprophyre dyke has been traced from Blackjack through Saddle to Eiger, suggesting a geological connection between the deposits. • The drilling will support updated resources at Blackjack, Eiger and Rhosgobel, with potential maiden resources at Pukelman/Contact and Bear Paw. Sitka also appointed Tim Termuende, co-founder of Eagle Plains Resources, as Chairman of its Board of Directors. Analysis and comments by Bill Pearson, Ph.D., P.Geo., Geologic and Technical Advisor, Crescat Capital: Sitka Gold announced completion of one of the largest drilling programs undertaken in Yukon, effectively doubling the historical drilling at its RC Gold Project. In 2026, 59,531m of drilling were completed in 149 holes. Approximately half of this meterage was allocated to Rhosgobel. Results have been released for only 59 holes thus far with assays pending on 90 holes totalling 30,242m. The 2026 drilling program has continued to intersect broad zones of reduced intrusion-related gold mineralization in all target zones (Rhosgobel, Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger, Pukelman/Contact, and Bear Paw), including sheeted and stockwork veins and breccia zones with bismuthinite and visible gold, as illustrated in the accompanying map of the existing resource areas and additional exploration targets. The accompanying longitudinal section looking east from Blackjack to Rhosgobel covers a distance of 5km, demonstrating the huge scale of the mineralized system in the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex. The most recent drill hole results were announced on October 14, 2026 and included impressive intervals from diamond drill hole DDRCCC-26-156 that returned 236.0 metres of 1.15 g/t gold, including 71.0 metres of 2.79 g/t gold and 36.3 metres of 3.31 g/t gold, representing some of the best results seen to date from the Saddle Zone, as illustrated in the accompanying Saddle Zone drilling results image. A notable gold-bearing vein has also been discovered in hole DDRCCC-26-190 within a mineralized lamprophyre dyke at the Pukelman intrusion. Lamprophyre dykes have been shown to mark major conduits for gold mineralization within the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex, with a dominant lamprophyre recently confirmed to extend from the Blackjack deposit through the Saddle Zone and into the Eiger deposit, providing a clear linkage between these two gold deposits. Drilling from this year’s 60,000 metre program will be used by Sitka to update and upgrade the existing mineral resource estimates at the Blackjack (including the Saddle Zone), Eiger and Rhosgobel gold deposits and evaluate the potential to produce an initial resource estimate at the Pukelman/Contact and Bear Paw Breccia targets. Sitka also announced that Tim Termuende, a geologist with more than 50 years of exploration experience and co-founder of Eagle Plains Resources, becomes Chairman. He has been a Sitka shareholder since its 2018 IPO and served on the advisory board for three years. His appointment adds experienced exploration and corporate leadership as Sitka advances toward resource updates and economic evaluation. There will be lots more drill results coming from Sitka in the coming weeks and months. The next major catalyst will be the updated mineral resources for the 3 main deposits plus potential first resource estimates in other target zones. The scale of the mineralized system in the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex continues to grow and it would not be surprising if these separate zones start to eventually merge into one larger system with further drilling. sitkagoldcorp.com/sitka-gold…
