- Drilling confirms and expands significant gold mineralization at the Contact and Bear Paw targets
- Drill Hole DDRCCC-26-162 intersected 74.8 m of 1.31 g/t gold from surface, including 41.7 m of 2.20 g/t gold and 1.2 m of 53.10 g/t gold, at the Contact Zone
- Drill hole DDRCCC-26-160 intersected 48.6 m of 1.18 g/t gold, including 1.8 m of 4.27 g/t gold, at the Bear Paw Zone
- Drilling continues to outline and define broad intervals of reduced intrusion related gold style mineralization along with high-grade gold zones within the 5 km x 12 km Clear Creek Intrusive Complex area
- Assays for 82 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 27,000 m are currently pending
Beyond the Headline
Sitka reported significant near-surface reduced intrusion-related gold mineralization (RIRGS) at both the Contact and Bear Paw zones, providing further evidence that RC Gold could contain several more deposits beyond Blackjack, Eiger and Rhosgobel (Figure 1-1).
Drill Hole DDRCCC-26-162 at Contact intersected 74.8m @ 1.31 g/t Au from surface, including 41.7m @ 2.20 g/t Au and 1.2m @ 53.10 g/t Au (Table 1-1; Figure 1-2). High-grade veins are associated with quartz monzonite dykes within a structural corridor. The Contact zone has a mineralized footprint of approximately 900 × 650 m and remains open in all directions.
Drill hole DDRCCC-26-160 intersected 48.6m @ 1.18 g/t Au, including 1.8 m @ 4.27 g/t Au, at the Bear Paw Zone(Table 1-1; Figure 1-3). Bear Paw, located approximately 2.5 km southwest of Rhosgobel, could represent another distinct deposit.
Assays remain outstanding for 82 holes totalling approximately 27,000 m from the completed 60,000 m program.
Comments
Sitka continues to report excellent drill results from their RC Gold Project in Yukon. Drill results from Contact and Bear Paw, both of which returned wide intersections over 1 g/t Au strongly indicated that RC Gold could contain several more deposits beyond Blackjack, Eiger and Rhosgobel. Assays are still pending for 82 holes totalling about 27,000m so these results should add even more to this exciting story.
