Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCOT)
is pleased to provide an update on assay results from the newly
discovered Domino zone, including grab samples of up to 536 g/t Au
and 735 g/t Ag, and a chip sample grading 10.5 g/t Au and 14.0 g/t
Ag over 5.3 m. The Domino zone is situated on a mineralized E-W
trending structure, 1.9 km west on strike of the 100% owned
past-producing Scottie Gold Mine, where mineralization is primarily
controlled by E-W structures.
"These initial sample results are exciting,
their distribution and high-grade nature fit spectacularly with our
working geological model" said Dr. Thomas Mumford, the Company’s
VP, Exploration. "This mineralized structure will be a
high-priority drill target for the 2020 field season, the potential
that it may connect to the Scottie Gold Mine mineralizing system
make this an exceptional discovery. Sampling of many of these sites
was only possible due to significant glacial retreat in recent
years, and we are eager to get back on the ground to find and
delineate more drill targets.”

During the 2019 field season, prospecting,
sampling, and detailed mapping was carried out on several locations
on the Summit Lake property, resulting in the discovery of multiple
new mineral occurrences (see news release date August 27, 2019).
One of the new discoveries was the Domino showing (Figure 1), which
is described as a pyrrhotite > pyrite massive sulphide lens with
quartz-carbonate veins, >30 m long with an average width of 4 m.
Follow-up sampling and mapping around the massive-sulphide lens
revealed another smaller massive-sulphide lens, and multiple
parallel mineralized shear structures oriented E-W, which exhibit
patchy oxidation and quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration. The Domino
zone consists of multiple parallel discreet shear structures that
occur in a area that strikes for more than 700 m, and has a width
of approximately 200 m. Grab sampling of the mineralized shear
structures within this zone returned multiple high-grade gold
values (Figure 1). A total of 57 grab samples were taken from the
Domino zone; 7 had gold grades of greater than 10 g/t (Table 1),
and 16 with grades between 1 - 10 g/t.
The Domino zone is situated 1.9 km due west of
the 100% owned Scottie Gold Mine (Figure 1) which produced 95,426
oz of gold at a recovered grade of 16.2 g/t. The mine operated from
1981-1985 and was shut down due to economic challenges, not because
the ore body was exhausted. Unmined intercepts include:

107 g/t Au
over 4.18 m, and |
|
|
24.57 g/t Au over 5.09 m |

|
|
|
N-zone = |
21.75 g/t Au over 3.23 m, and |
|
|
32.91 g/t Au over 3.63 m |
Mineralization at the Scottie Gold Mine largely
consists of east-west trending, steeply dipping shear veins, that
are comprised of pyrrhotite > pyrite ± quartz ± calcite. Both
the Scottie Gold Mine and the Domino zone are hosted in Jurassic
age andesitic volcanics of the Unuk River Formation (Hazelton
Group), and occur proximal to the Summit Lake Stock (part of the
Texas Creek plutonic suite). Additionally the Domino zone is
situated adjacent to a large electromagnetic (EM) anomaly,
comparable in size and character to the EM anomaly coincident with
the Scottie Gold Mine (Figure 1). Locally, EM anomalies occurring
within the andesitic rocks have been correlated with strong
pyrrhotite mineralization. Due to the spatial connection and strong
similarities in mineralogy and grades, fieldwork and diamond
drilling in 2020 will begin to evaluate the Domino zone as an
extension of the mineralizing system that formed the Scottie Gold
Mine.
The Domino zone extends into the historically
mapped sulphide zone, which returned grab samples with grades up to
37.96 g/t. Historic work (1989 - 1990) on the sulphide zone was
limited in scope, and was strongly restricted by seasonal snow and
glacial coverage. In the following 29 years there has been
significant glacial retreat, exposing an expanse of altered and
sheared volcanic rocks. Sampling of this altered and sheared zone
during the 2019 season led to the discovery of the Domino zone.

As part of the 2019 program, a chip sample taken
perpendicular to the primary trend of the Domino zone averaged 10.5
g/t Au and 14.0 g/t Ag over a 5.3 metre interval (Table 2). The
high gold grades returned in the chip samples were remarkable due
to the subtle mineralization observed during sampling. It is
important to note that the two highest grades obtained in the chip
sample are at the ends, essentially bracketing the zone. The chip
sample was centered in the middle of a wide zone of gossanous
rocks, and did not extend all the way outwards into unaltered
rocks, leaving the possibility that mineralization extends further
– likely increasing the width of the zone. Additional surface
sampling is planned for the 2020 season to further define the
extent of the zone.
A portion of the claims in the Summit Lake
Property are subject to a 1.8% gross smelter return, of which the
Company can purchase up to 0.8% for $1,000,000 at any time.
Quality Assurance and
Control
Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global
Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO
9001:2008 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken
by Company personnel under the direction of Thomas Mumford. A
secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing
of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic
absorption spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10
g/t Au). Individual grab samples taken during the project represent
point locations in the field, and were typically collected from
rocks covering an area of less than 0.5 m2. Grab samples from
outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and they may not be
representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.Thomas
Mumford, Ph.D., P.Geo and VP Exploration of Scottie, a qualified
person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical
information contained in this news release on behalf of the
Company.
