Executive Summary

  • Sitka Gold reports significant assay intercepts from the Rhosgobel discovery, including a 162 m interval averaging 1.02 g/t Au (with higher‑grade sub‑intervals) and a 168 m interval averaging 1.00 g/t Au.
  • To date, 38 holes (~11,375 m) have been completed at Rhosgobel, with visible gold observed in 31 of 34 logged holes and mineralization extending >400 m depth over a strike length >1.1 km.
  • Total drilling for the season now exceeds 30,000 m (30,478 m across 84 holes), meeting the seasonal target and supporting the potential for a multi‑million‑ounce intrusion‑related gold system.

Key Details

  • Hole DDRCRG-25-007: 162.0 m @ 1.02 g/t Au, including 71.0 m @ 1.57 g/t Au and 18.0 m @ 2.31 g/t Au from surface.
  • Hole DDRCRG-25-008: 168.0 m @ 1.00 g/t Au, including 12.0 m @ 2.37 g/t Au starting at 28 m depth.
  • Overall Rhosgobel drilling: 38 holes, ~11,375 m completed; visible gold in 31 of 34 logged holes.
  • Seasonal drill total: 30,478 m across 84 diamond holes (exceeds 30,000 m target).
  • Current operations: Two drills active on the Rhosgobel intrusion; assays pending for ~50 holes (including 26 at Rhosgobel).
  • Mineralization footprint: Strike length ≈1.1 km within a 2.0 km × 1.5 km gold‑in‑soil anomaly; mineralization open in all directions, beginning at surface and extending >400 m depth.
  • Historical context: First eight drill holes (including 2024 discovery holes) each delivered >100 g·m Au.
  • Quality control: Core logged, photographed, sampled per NI 43‑101 QP standards; assays performed by ALS Laboratories using fire assay/ICP‑AES with re‑analysis for >10 g/t Au samples.

Notable Quotes

“The consistency and scale of strong assay results from Rhosgobel are very encouraging…Rhosgobel is demonstrating the size and grade potential to host a significant, multi‑million ounce intrusion related gold deposit.” – Cor Coe, Director & CEO, Sitka Gold Corp.
