SITKA GOLD CLOSES $2.05 MILLION FINANCING
Sitka Gold Corp. has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement with certain existing strategic investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,055,000 through the issuance of 1.5 million flow-through (FT) common shares issued at a price of $1.37 per FT share. Each of the FT shares will qualify as flow-through shares within the meaning of the
Income Tax Act
(Canada).
"This financing, together with the financing that closed last week for $28.5-million, represents a pivotal milestone for Sitka, significantly strengthening our treasury to over $43-million and positioning the company to rapidly advance its flagship RC gold project,"
stated Cor Coe, chief executive officer and director of Sitka Gold.
"The proceeds from these financings will enable Sitka to plan the largest drill program ever conducted at RC gold. Up to 60,000 metres of diamond drilling is anticipated at RC gold in 2026, which will effectively double the total metres drilled to date and rank among the largest drill campaigns ever conducted in the Yukon. With 62 drill holes pending from RC gold and an additional seven drill holes pending from the Coppermine River project, we anticipate a steady flow of assay results following the close of this financing."
The company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT shares to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures as such terms are defined in the tax act related to the company's RC gold project in Yukon, Canada, on or before Dec. 31, 2026. All qualifying expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective Dec. 31, 2025.
The offering remains subject to final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the offering are subject to a hold period expiring on March 6, 2026. No finders' fees were paid in respect of the offering.
The company wishes to clarify its previously disseminated news release dated Oct. 30, 2025, announcing the closing of its $28.5-million financing. The news release inadvertently disclosed that the company issued an aggregate of 974,000 compensation options to the underwriters. The actual number of compensation options issued in connection with the brokered offering was 974,100.
