Scottie Resources Announces Encouraging Surface Exploration Results from its Scottie Gold Mine and Summit Lake Properties in ...
27 Août 2019 - 2:30PM
Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCOT)
is excited to share preliminary field observations from the current
season’s exploration program on its Scottie Gold Mine and newly
acquired Summit Lake properties. The claims are located 20 km south
of Pretium’s Brucejack Mine and 14 km north of Ascot’s Premier Mine
in BC’s Golden Triangle.
Multiple property acquisitions during 2019
increased Scottie Resources’ land package in the Golden Triangle
from 8381 ha to 18544 ha. One of the most notable procurements was
the Summit Lake Property, a 4877 ha contiguous group of claims that
was previously held by a private company for the past few decades.
Historical exploration on the claims has been minimal, particularly
in areas requiring helicopter access – resulting in large areas
that have not seen boots on the ground since the early 1990’s.
Since that time the area has seen unprecedented glacial retreat,
revealing expanses of outcrop that have never been assessed.

Field work this season has largely focused on
ground-truthing prospective areas including numerous
electromagnetic (EM) anomalies identified in a previous airborne
geophysical survey. The EM targets have similar geophysical
signatures to those observed on local gold-bearing structures
including the Bend and Blueberry veins, C and D zones, and the
past-producing Scottie Gold Mine (Fig. 1).
Already during the 2019 field season, 6 new
significant mineral occurrences have been discovered on the Summit
Lake Property (Table 1, Fig. 1), all in areas of glacial retreat –
assays on the zones are still pending, but preliminary geology is
encouraging given the similarities to veins controlling
mineralization at the Scottie Gold Mine. The Scottie Gold Mine
operated from 1981 – 1984, ultimately shutting down due to a drop
in gold price combined with high-interest rates. During operation
the mine produced 95,426 oz at an average recovered grade of 16.25
g/t. Mineralization consists of east-west to northwest trending,
steeply dipping, shear veins, that are comprised of pyrrhotite >
pyrite ± quartz ± calcite. The veins are hosted in a package of
andesitic volcanics from the Hazelton Unuk River Formation that are
situated adjacent to the contact with the Summit Lake stock, part
of the Texas Creek Plutonic Suite.

In addition to the promising new mineral
occurrences, property scale geological mapping has revealed
previously unreported contacts in the area, some of which could
signify the presence of an important regional scale structure
bisecting the Summit Lake property. Further follow-up work will be
required to confirm its presence.
Thomas Mumford VP Exploration of Scottie
Resources, commented: “Favorable early season weather allowed our
team to explore areas of substantial glacial retreat, revealing
exceptional geology and new sampling opportunities. I am
continually surprised by our good fortune, with Scottie geologists
having discovered 6 new mineral occurrences with substantial
sulphide mineralization that exhibit strong similarities to that
observed in the Scottie Gold Mine. The whole team is excited to get
the assay results back to see what we have!”
