Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCOT)
is pleased to report drill results from the Scottie Gold Mine
Property. Results from drill hole SR19-13 include
7.27 g/t
gold and 3.83 g/t silver over
25.02 m,
which includes
11.72 g/t gold and 5.83 g/t silver
over
10.95 m. Drill results include an extension
of the historic M Zone of the 100% owned Scottie Gold Mine which
produced 95,426 oz at an average recovered grade of 16.25 g/t gold.
The Scottie Gold Mine is located in British Columbia’s Golden
Triangle, 20 km south of Pretium’s Brucejack Mine.

"We are thrilled with the results from our
single 2019 hole into the Scottie Gold Mine. At 539 m, it is the
longest hole ever drilled at Scottie," said Dr. Thomas Mumford, the
Company’s VP, Exploration. "Assays from SG19-13 confirm that the
Scottie Gold Mine was neither mined out or drilled off, and that
the mineralization remains wide open. We look forward to testing
its extent and finding additional high-grade ounces in 2020, as
well as confirming its connection to the newly discovered
high-grade Domino Zone, located on strike just 1.9 km due west of
the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine M Zone.”
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 gold. 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.
Historical drilling of the Scottie Gold Mine was
largely focused on mine production, with little work done on
proving up substantial resources. The majority of historical
drilling was done from underground, and therefore consisted of
short holes with single targets – with very restricted drill pad
locations. Hole SG19-13 was the longest hole ever drilled at
Scottie, and because it was drilled from surface it was able to
target zones inaccessible to previous underground operators. The
parallel nature of the mineralizing veins in the Scottie Gold Mine
naturally lend themselves to long holes that test multiple targets
with a single drill hole. Results from this first hole confirm this
principle, and have also provided invaluable information on
alteration styles and drill hole deviation.

While the Scottie Gold Mine was in operation the
majority of ore was produced from the M Zone. Hole SG19-13
successfully targeted the lower extension of the M Zone. Within
SG19-13, the M Zone intercept (11.72 g/t gold over 10.95 m) is
located 50 m from the nearest historic M zone intercept. Future
drilling will continue to step out at depth and along strike.

The east-west to northwest trend of
mineralization at the Scottie Gold Mine is on strike with the
Company’s Domino Zone, a new high-grade surficial discovery made
during the 2019 field season (see release dated November 14, 2019).
Located just 1.9 km apart, drilling and field work during the 2020
field season will assess the association and continuity of
mineralization between Scottie Gold Mine and the Domino Zone.
The Scottie Gold Mine property is road
accessible from the town of Stewart, BC, and is subject to a 3% net
smelter return, of which the Company can purchase 2% for $600,000
at any time.

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).Thomas Mumford, Ph.D., P.Geo and VP Exploration of Scottie,
a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed
