Sitka Gold Corp.
Sitka is running a 60,000m, multi-rig 2026 drill program at its 447 sq km RC Gold Project in Yukon's Tombstone Gold Belt, with visible gold reported in early holes. The company is testing whether the Clear Creek Intrusive Complex hosts a new multi-deposit gold district.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.
