Sitka Gold Corp. Appoints Burke as Director and Vice President of Corporate Development

08.03.2022  |  The Newswire
VANCOUVER, March 08, 2022 - Sitka Gold Corp. ("Sitka" or the "Company") (CSE:SIG) (FSE:1RF) (OTC:SITKF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Burke as a Director and the Vice President of Corporate Development for Sitka Gold Corp.

"I am very excited to welcome Mike to Sitka's Board of Directors and as VP of Corporate Development," said Cor Coe, Director & CEO. "Mike brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience to our team, garnered from his years of working as a professional geologist across both the private and public sectors. During his career he has played an integral role in the advancement of the Yukon's mineral resource sector with the Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) flourishing under his leadership for 20 years. He also has a track record of new discoveries and several successful exploration programs completed during his time in the private sector. Along with his extensive technical and managerial abilities, Mike has an international reputation as a very effective communicator between the exploration industry and the financial community as well as a liaison with governmental regulators and officials. During his countless presentations and interviews over the years, Mike has built a sizable network of industry contacts with investment bankers, financial institutions and mining analysts across the globe. We look forward to the expertise Mike will bring to our technical team and the extended reach he will provide in telling Sitka's story to the investment and financial communities."

Added Mike Burke, "I am extremely pleased to be joining the team at Sitka Gold whose persistence has resulted in a significant discovery at the RC Gold Property in the Yukon portion of the Tombstone Gold Belt. The potential of the Tombstone Gold Belt in Yukon is being recognized with the current successful mining of the Eagle Gold Deposit by Victoria Gold Corp. and the historical production from the Brewery Creek Mine of Sabre Gold. Many companies are active in the Belt and their persistence and accumulation of geological knowledge is bearing fruit with the recent new discoveries at the Eagle Deep, Raven and Lynx zones by Victoria Gold, the discovery and expansion of the deposits at the Aurmac Project of Banyan Gold and the new discoveries made by Snowline Gold Corp. at their Jupiter and Valley Gold targets.

The 2021 discovery hole at the Blackjack zone on the RC Gold Property by Sitka, with a result of 220.1 metres of 1.17 g/t gold (see news release dated February 17, 2022), is a game changer and I look forward to working with the team to expand on this result in addition to realizing the potential elsewhere on their extensive land package in Yukon and in Arizona, Nevada and Nunavut."
