Scottie Resources Reports 10.7 g/t Gold and 31.2 g/t Silver Over 2.77 Metres at Scottie Gold Mine O-Zone
26 Janvier 2021 - 1:55PM
Scottie Resources Corp. (“
Scottie” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to report
drilling results on the O-Zone target, part of the Scottie Gold
Mine including 2.26 g/t gold and 6.53 g/t silver over 19.04 m,
which includes a high-grade interval of
10.7 g/t
gold and
31.2 g/t silver over
2.77 metres. The four holes drilled at O-Zone
during 2020 demonstrate that the high-grade zone is open in most
directions. Drilling will continue in 2021 to expand the zone. The
Scottie Gold Mine is the flagship project of the Company, is road
accessible with excellent existing infrastructure, and is located
40 km north of Stewart, BC, in the Golden Triangle. The Company
completed 7,040 m of drilling in 46 holes during 2020 and will
continue to disclose additional results through to February 2021.
CEO, Bradley Rourke commented: “Historically the
O-zone produced some of the highest-grade gold intercepts in and
around the Scottie Gold Mine. Oriented parallel and only 100 metres
to the north of the main producing vein, and being connected to the
mine with existing tunnels, all combine to make this a prime
exploration target. Our expansionary drilling around the target has
shown that it remains open in most directions, and that the
exceptional grades that it is known for are also continuous –
confirmed by our intercept of 109.4 g/t gold over 2.53 metres
earlier this year.”

Scottie Gold Mine - O-Zone
The Scottie Gold Mine, which operated from 1981
to 1985, milled vein material averaging 16.2 grams per tonne of
recovered gold, producing 95,426 ounces of gold from 183,147 tonnes
of mineralization. The O-Zone is the northern most of 6 parallel
mineralized structures identified during operation of the
past-producing Scottie Gold Mine, and it contained some of the
highest-grade intercepts from the mine, including 107 g/t gold over
4.18 metres. The near surface target saw only negligible production
prior to the mine shutting down in 1985, and despite its
exceptional gold grades has seen no exploration drilling prior to
the Company’s involvement.

O-Zone is available at

The 2021 drill program for Scottie Resources
will continue to step out from mineralization around the O-Zone,
testing for high-grade ore shoots similar to those observed in the
adjacent M-Zone. Drilling will commence as soon as the melting
snowpack permits, estimated to be in early-July.

Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples were analyzed at MSALABS in
Langley, Canada (an ISO 9001 accredited facility). The sampling
program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of
Dr. 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 (+9 g/t Au). Analysis by four acid digestion
with 48 element ICP-MS analysis was conducted on all samples with
silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by emission
spectrometry.
