Alpha Gold Property Presentation

ALPHA GOLD PROPERTY

​Sitka Gold has acquired a 100% interest in the Alpha Gold Property, located along the southeast projection of the prolific Cortez Gold Trend in Eureka County, approximately 135 kilometres southwest of Elko, Nevada. The Property is comprised of 239 contiguous claims covering an area of approximately 4,780 acres  and is accessible via a dirt road, approximately 2km west of Nevada State Highway 278.

Alpha Gold Location
The Property was staked after the location was recognized as the intersection of the regional-scale Pine Valley anticline with northeasterly fold trends exposed in the Roberts Mountains. Of primary importance at the Alpha Gold location is that the rocks have been down-dropped significantly by late extensional faulting. Prior to extension, and during the critical 36 - 42 Ma Carlin-type mineralization event, the fold crest at Alpha Gold would have been a regional highpoint among nearby mountain ranges. This is an ideal scenario for producing and preserving a Carlin-type gold deposit, and is exactly what happened at the Pipeline (20 Moz), Cortez Hills (15 Moz), and Goldrush (15 Moz) gold deposits in the Cortez district. Well exposed ‘lower plate windows’ near Alpha Gold have been extensively explored for Carlin-type gold deposits with a number of smaller deposits found along the limbs. ​

Phase 1 drilling testing the NW target area was successful in intercepting the targeted Webb/Devil's Gate contact zone and encountered Carlin-type mineralization and alternation analogous to existing gold deposits along the Cortez Trend.

Key Points Regarding Recent Developments at Alpha Gold:
  • Five drill holes were completed during the last phase of drilling during the Summer 2021 drill program for a total of 1,553 metres.
  • An additional 125 claims have been staked to cover high-priority target areas; more than doubling the Project's land holdings to 239 claims totalling approximately 1,934 hectares.
  • Excellent results from the Summer 2021 drill program have pointed exploration to examine structures and areas of strong Carlin-type alteration along a NNW-SSE structural trend that required additional permitting and bonding.
  • Additional permitting was approved in March 2022 which will allow Sitka to continue testing NNW-SSE trending structures in the new claim block​
