Sitka Gold Corp. has intersected 218.6 metres grading 1.25 g/t gold, including 44.4 metres of 3.86 g/t gold, alongside a separate interval of 92.7 metres grading 1.14 g/t gold, in drill hole DDRCCC-26-132 at the Blackjack deposit within its RC Gold Project in Canada’s Yukon Territory.

Drill hole DDRCCC-26-132 targeted the downdip extension of the high-grade Blackjack zone, confirming the continuity of higher-grade mineralization at depth below the current resource envelope. A second hole, DDRCCC-26-129, stepped out approximately 150 metres east of the current resource boundary and intersected 118.0 metres of 0.50 g/t gold, 32.0 metres of 1.44 g/t gold, and 55.0 metres of 0.48 g/t gold, expanding known mineralization along strike.

Sitka has completed approximately 32,000 metres of diamond drilling across 63 holes this year as part of a planned 60,000-metre program across the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex. Six drill rigs are currently turning across the Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger, Rhosgobel and Pukelman-Contact zones, with a seventh rig being mobilized to site. More than 23,000 metres of drilling across 54 holes has been completed at the Blackjack and Saddle zone since the previous mineral resource estimate was published in January 2025, which was based on approximately 18,000 metres of drilling.

“Blackjack continues to deliver with large intervals of strong gold mineralization and impressive step-outs that underscore the growth potential of this wide open deposit,” said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka Gold Corp. “Hole 132 is particularly significant as it confirms the continuity of broad, higher-grade gold mineralization well below the current resource shell while also returning one of the strongest high-grade intervals drilled to date. At the same time, hole 129 successfully extends mineralization approximately 150 metres beyond the current resource boundary, further highlighting that the deposit remains open for expansion in multiple directions.”

Assays are currently pending for all remaining holes completed to date this year. Sitka plans to incorporate the additional drilling into an updated resource estimate for the RC Gold Project in the near future, supported by gold trading at US$4,337.90 per ounce, representing a 5.3% increase over the 30-day period ending August 10, 2026.
