# Sitka Drills 218.6 Metres of 1.25 g/t Gold, Including 44.4 Metres of 3.86 g/t Gold, and a Second Interval of 92.7 Metres of 1.14 g/t Gold in a Single Hole at Its RC Gold Project, Yukon Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/sitka-drills-218-6-metres-of-1-25-g-t-gold-including-44-4-metres-of-3-86-g-t-gol--fe262d96-fd08-4faa-8dcb-5d29f61031e9 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SIG/news/4547030745717027/sitka-drills-218-6-metres-of-1-25-g-t-gold-including-44-4-metres-of-3-86-g-t-gol Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-08-10T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Sitka Gold Corp. - Ticker: SIG - Exchange: TSX - Region: Yukon - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Tungsten - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-16 22:26:33 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Sitka Gold Corp. reported significant gold drill results from its RC Gold Project in the Yukon, including a 44.4 m intercept at 3.86 g/t gold in hole DDRCCC-26-132. The drilling successfully expanded mineralization 150 m east of the current resource and confirmed high-grade continuity at depth. Reasoning: The announcement reports high-grade gold drill intercepts that both extend the known mineralization laterally \(step-out\) and confirm continuity at depth, supporting underground potential. The results are backed by detailed QA/QC protocols and an accredited laboratory. - Positive factor: significant step-out extension of mineralization - Positive factor: confirmation of high-grade continuity at depth - Positive factor: strong high-grade intercepts - Positive factor: robust QA/QC disclosure Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole 129 expanded mineralization 150 m east of the current resource. Evidence · text > Drill hole DDRCCC-26-129 represents a large step out \(up to 150 m along strike\) from the current mineral resource estimate **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release includes detailed QA/QC protocols, including use of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and names an accredited lab. Evidence · text > Standard reference materials, blanks and duplicate samples were inserted by Sitka personnel **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is described as expanding and defining known mineralization, which includes both step-out and continuity/infill components. Evidence · text > The program will continue to define these broad zones of mineralization **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: A current resource fact retains the disclosed cut-off grade **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The source explicitly discloses a revised resource estimate Evidence · text > updated resource ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.
