Drilling by Sitka in 2020 led to the discovery of a 500-by-2,000-metre intrusion-related gold system at the Saddle-Eiger zone. This has been the main focus of drilling at the RC project in 2020 and 2021.
The recently completed winter drill program focused on the Blackjack zone, where the final drill hole of the 2021 drill program intersected 220.1 metres grading 1.17 g/t gold from surface, including 50.5 metres of 2.08 g/t gold. This newly discovered zone is open both laterally and to depth.
Four diamond drill holes were completed for a total of 1,242.8 metres during the winter drilling, part of Sitka’s planned 10,000-metre drill campaign on the RC property. The remaining 9,000 or so metres are to be completed in the spring-summer program.
DDRCCC-22-022, the first drill hole, returned 273 metres of 0.52 g/t gold from 46 to 319 metres, including 124 metres of 0.81 g/t gold from 193 metres, 62 metres of 1.21 g/t gold…
