Sitka Gold (TSXV: SIG) has released the first assay results from an ongoing 2025 summer drill program at their RC Gold project in the Yukon. The program has picked up where the winter drill program stopped, with the first results coming from a hole that was partially completed under that prior program.
Highlights from the drill results include:
- DDRCCC-25-076: 2.00 g/t gold over 65.0 metres from a depth of 806.0 metres
- Including 4.80 g/t gold over 8.0 metres
- And Including 5.53 g/t gold over 6.3 metres
Hole 76 was drilled at the Blackjack deposit, with winter drilling intersecting a number of gold intervals include 1.15 g/t gold over 94.0 metres and 5.04 g/t gold over 25.0 metres. Summer drilling extended the hole in an effort to follow up on mineralization found at the bottom of the hole during the winter program, with the gold again ending in mineralization, intersecting 0.95 g/t gold over 4.9 metres, suggesting mineralization continues at depth.
“As the deepest hole drilled to date, Hole 76 adds to the growing evidence of a potential underground component to the Blackjack gold deposit and demonstrates that intervals of significant gold values persist almost a kilometre deep from where this deposit begins at surface. The higher-grade gold seen at depth in this and other deep drill holes, supports the notion that we could be vectoring towards the potential source of this gold system,” commented Cor Coe, CEO of Sitka.
The current drill program aims to drill test a total of 30,000 metres in aggregate. To date, three drill rigs have focused on the Blackjack, Saddle and Eiger zones, with a total of 17 drill holes completed to date for an aggregate 6,127 metres. Sitka this morning also indicated that a fourth drill rig is being added to the program, which will focus on the Rhosgobel intrusion, where up to 10,000 metres will be drilled in an effort follow up on last year’s intersection of 0.82 g/t gold over 164.8 metres.
Sitka also indicated this morning that it has intersected visible gold for the first time at the Saddle Zone, with that visible gold encountered in hole DDRCCC-25-086. The zone is found between the Blackjack and Eiger deposits, and is partially within the current conceptual pit model.
Assay results are said to be currently pending for holes DDRCCC-25-077 through to DDRCCC-25-091.
Sitka Gold last traded at $0.495 on the TSX Venture.
