• Major Gold Districts: Laramide Age Geological Domes and Collapse Faults• Primary ore body controlling structures: through-going NNW anticlines and oblique WNW

anticlines within Devonian host rocks (Blue).• NNW and WNW faults sympathetic to folding are critical ore fluid feeder structures.

• Structural and Temporal comparisons at the Adobe Range:• NNW Anticlines oblique deforming NE and WNW anticlines & NNW tear faults,• Devonian upper-host strata is exposed west of the immediate dome structure

Widespread Carlin-type AlterationAssemblages

• Jasperoid Development along fold limbs & crests

• Decalcification & Clay Alteration in Devonian Limestones

• Silicification & Hematitic alt. along Perm/Miss Unconformity and in Elko Formation Conglomerates

• Anomalous Arsenic

• The Adobe LPW consists of Upper Devonian transitional limestone that is exposed over alarge area a few miles southwest of Intercept’s main acquisition target area & dome structure

• Semi-massive detrital petroliferous limestone is variably inter-bedded with thinly laminated,argillaceous limestone and limey shale.

• These units are comparable and equivalent to the tops of the main gold host rocks at Carlin (Rodeo Creek Formation) and at Cortez (Horse Canyon Formation)

• Structural interpretations show these units occur at depth (<500m) beneath our targeted domestructure and wide spread alteration assemblages observed at surface.

SUMMARYThe goal at Sitka Gold Corp. is simple: search out exceptional exploration stage gold and copper properties, advance and leverage those properties in a way that will maximize shareholder value, and provide an exit strategy so shareholders can capitalize on the value created.

The group behind Sitka has a track record of accomplishing this with incredible results. Through the recent sale of Tundra Copper Corp., this team of professionals has shown that, even during some of the most challenging market conditions in recent memory, plenty of opportunity exists for those with the ability to search it out and execute in a manner that places shareholders first.

The current market conditions present a ripe opportunity to acquire exceptional mineral properties that might not be available in more normal circumstances. We have identified and acquired two exceptional mineral properties of merit representing the commodities of both gold and copper and plan to leverage the development of these properties for the benefit of all shareholders.
