Drill Permit Received For Extended Claim Block At Alpha Gold in Nevada

VANCOUVER - Sitka Gold Corp. has received the required drill permits from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Nevada for the newly staked claims at its Alpha Gold Property. The mining claims were staked to cover a newly identified Carlin-type gold deposit target northwest of the existing Alpha Gold claims located along the projection of the Cortez Gold Trend in Nevada.

Sitka is now permitted for up to 16 drill hole sites at its Alpha Gold Property. The Company is currently in discussions with a drill contractor regarding drill rig availability and intends to commence drilling as soon as a drill rig has been secured. The Company plans to initially drill the newly identified Carlin-type gold deposit target on the recently staked mining claims and will determine subsequent drill activity based on the drill results obtained as well as results from ongoing field work on site. The Company recently completed and has submitted silt sediment and rock samples taken on the newly acquired claim block to the lab for analysis on a rush basis, and will utilize these results in refining the drill hole collar location.

“We are pleased to have received permits to drill our newly identified second Carlin-type gold deposit target at our Alpha Gold property, located in Nevada’s Carlin Gold Province”, said, Cor Coe, CEO and Director of Sitka. “The Company intends to commence drilling this new target once it has received the results from recently completed field work and secured a drill contractor and rig.”
