Sitka Gold Corp. Announces Listing on the TSX-V and Appoints Angus Campbell to the Board of Directors

"We are looking forward to working with the TSX-V and expect this listing to improve the Company's visibility across both domestic and international capital markets," stated Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka. "With exposure to a broader base of potential investors, we believe this will provide a means of expanding the company's investor base and ultimately assist in unlocking the value of Sitka's gold discoveries in the Yukon and Nevada along with the other mineral assets within its portfolio of projects."

Upon listing, the Company's trading symbol "SIG" will remain unchanged and shareholders will not be required to take any action in connection with the Company's listing on the TSX-V.
