Sitka Gold Corp. Closes $5.5 Million Private Placement

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half (½) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.38 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.

Crescat Capital ("Crescat") and its principals invested a total of $2,500,000 in the Offering. Crescat is a global macro asset management firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado, that deploys tactical investment themes based on proprietary value-driven equity and macro models. Crescat has been taking friendly-activist stakes in the precious metals exploration industry today as one of its key macro themes.

Crescat's Geologic and Technical Director, Quinton T. Hennigh, PhD commented: "I believe Sitka's RC Gold Project is proving to be one of the highest quality reduced intrusion type gold discoveries in the Yukon. Long runs of consistent, high-grade gold encountered in recent drilling around the southern perimeter of the Blackjack target point to a very robust, potentially fully preserved gold system at depth. As the Company has stepped into this area with their drill program, the results continue to validate our reasons for investing. We take pride in identifying and supporting discovery stage stories like this. Given the opportunities in the distressed mining capital markets right now, we feel compelled to support Sitka as they drill this discovery."

"We would like to thank Crescat Capital and the other shareholders who helped make this financing possible", said Cor Coe, CEO and Director of Sitka Gold. "Crescat's increased investment in Sitka is a considerable endorsement of our flagship RC Gold Project and we look forward to realizing the full potential of this exciting district-scale property."

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering on exploration work on its mineral properties, including the RC Gold Project in Yukon, and for general working capital.
