Scottie Adds Additional Drill on the Scottie Gold Project and Provides Exploration Update

Scottie Resources Corp. ("Scottie" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to announce the addition of a second drill rig on its 100% owned Scottie Gold Project. The second rig has commenced drilling on the Domino zone, located 2 km due west of the high-grade past-producing Scottie Gold mine. The company has already completed 1800 metres (m) of drilling at the Blueberry zone and continues to expand and test the Blueberry target.

CEO and President, Bradley Rourke commented: "The addition of a second rig will accelerate the efforts and allow us additional flexibility within our aggressive 2021 field program. We are excited to continue the testing of the Domino zone and expand on last year's encouraging drill results."

Scottie Gold Mine Project

The Scottie Gold Mine, which operated between 1981 to 1985, produced 95,426 gold ounces from 183,147 tonnes at an average recovered grade of 16.2 g/t gold. The mine ultimately shut down due to a drop in gold price combined with high-interest rates. 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 volcanic rocks 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. While 13 distinct gold-bearing vein zones have been identified on the Scottie Gold Mine Project, mine production was primarily from one vein (the M-zone).

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. Recent exploration by Scottie has used the benefits of drilling from surface to target areas that were inaccessible with underground drill locations, and where possible to test multiple targets with individual holes.

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.

ABOUT Scottie Resources Corp.

Scottie owns a 100% interest in the high-grade, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine and Bow properties and has the option to purchase a 100% interest in Summit Lake claims which are contiguous with the Scottie Gold Mine property. Scottie also owns 100% interest in the Georgia Project which contains the high-grade past-producing Georgia River Mine, as well as the Cambria Project properties and the Sulu property. Altogether Scottie Resources holds more than 52,000 ha of mineral claims in the Stewart Mining Camp in the Golden Triangle.

The Company's focus is on expanding the known mineralization around the past-producing mines while advancing near mine high-grade gold targets, with the purpose of delivering a potential resource.

All of the Company's properties are located in the area known as the Golden Triangle of British Columbia which is among the world's most prolific mineralized districts.

Yvonne Blaszczyk: Gold to Keep Rising as Global Paradigm Shift Plays Out

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Yvonne Blaszczyk, president and CEO of BMG Group, shared her thoughts on gold and global geopolitics, focusing on US President Donald Trump's rapid changes since being elected and the impact they're having domestically and internationally.

In her view, the world is in the midst of a paradigm shift, and gold's role will become increasingly key.

"One of the most important factors is what central banks are doing — central banks are accumulating, buying gold, and it's a huge indicator of where the prices will go," she said.

Athena Gold Sees Opportunity in Shifting North American Focus by Major Gold Miners

The global gold-mining industry is witnessing a strategic pivot toward North America, prioritizing projects in the US and Canada over traditionally resource-rich but politically volatile jurisdictions, according to Koby Kushner, incoming CEO of Athena Gold (CSE:ATHA,OTCQB:AHNR).

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Kushner highlighted key factors driving this trend and how Athena Gold is positioning itself to capitalize on the shift.

“Geopolitical tensions are certainly one of them. Some jurisdictions are perceived as more risky than others, with places like Canada and Nevada perceived as less risky,” Kushner explained.
