VANCOUVER, CANADA – August 23rd, 2018: Sitka Gold Corp. (CSE: SIG) (the “Company” or “Sitka”) announces that it has reached an agreement with Intercept Minerals Corp. (“Intercept”) to amend the terms of the Adobe Project Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the Company has until September 1, 2019 to spend an aggregate of at least US$600,000 in exploration expenses on the Property and issue 50,000 shares to Intercept by September 1, 2018, with the remaining 150,000 shares to be issued by September 1, 2019. The original terms of the Agreement required US$600,000 in exploration expenditures to be incurred by September 1, 2018 and 200,000 shares to be issued at by that time.
In addition, the Company and Objective Exploration LLC (“Objective”) have agreed to amend the terms of the Agreement whereby the Company will issue 80,000 shares of Sitka to Objective on or before September 1, 2018, and will make a payment to Objective of US$30,000, payable in cash and/or shares of Sitka, on or before September 1, 2019. The original terms of the Agreement required the Company to make a payment of US$40,000 to Objective, payable in cash and/or shares of Sitka, on or before September 1, 2018.
