Sitka Gold Signs 30,000 Metre Diamond Drilling Contract for 2025 at Its RC Gold Project, Yukon

Vancouver, November 27, 2024 - Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) ("Sitka" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Kluane Drilling Corp. to complete up to 30,000 metres of diamond drilling in 2025 at its road accessible RC Gold Project ("RC Gold" or the "Project") located in the prolific Tombstone Gold Belt in the Yukon. This will be the largest drilling campaign ever conducted at RC Gold and is anticipated to focus primarily on follow up drilling at the Rhosgobel and Pukelman intrusion targets along with further expansion drilling at the Blackjack gold deposit and drill testing other high-priority targets identified elsewhere on the district-scale, 431 square kilometre property.

Kluane Drilling Ltd., a well established, highly experienced drilling company based in Whitehorse, Yukon with over 30 years of experience diamond drilling in the Yukon and around the world, has been contracted to complete up to 30,000 metres of drilling at the Company's flagship RC Gold Project. Kluane Drilling is dedicated to providing quality drilling services based on technical innovation and human talent and specializes in achieving high drilling production in various drilling environments. Kluane Drilling has proven to be an exceptional contractor for the past two years and Sitka looks forward to continuing to work with them as the Company further advances RC Gold in 2025.

"We are very pleased to have secured the services of Kluane Drilling Ltd. for what will be our largest ever diamond drilling program planned for our RC Gold Project in 2025," said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka. "Kluane provided Sitka with exceptional drilling services throughout our winter and summer drilling programs at RC Gold in both 2023 and 2024 and we look forward to continuing to develop the project with them in the coming year as we substantially increase the scale and scope of drilling. The 2024 drilling campaign at RC Gold returned excellent assay results from both the Blackjack gold deposit area and the first ever diamond drill holes at the Rhosgobel intrusion, and has identified visible gold in its first two diamond drill holes at the Pukelman intrusion where assay results are still pending (see news releases dated November 25 and October 31, 2024). We are eagerly looking forward to following up on the success we had this past year and, with over $15 million in cash and no debt, the Company is fully funded to complete the planned work program at RC Gold in 2025. We also look forward to receiving the results from the last six diamond drill holes of the 2024 season totalling 2,774 metres that are still pending from RC Gold, with 2 holes from Pukelman and 4 holes from Blackjack."
