Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) (" Scottie ") and AUX Resources Corporation (TSXV: AUX) (OTC: AUXRF) (" AUX ") are pleased to announce that, further to their proposed transaction announced on April 12, 2021 they have signed an amalgamation agreement dated May 4, 2021 (the " Agreement ") pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scottie will amalgamate with AUX and all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AUX following the amalgamation will immediately be exchanged for common shares of Scottie on a one-for-one basis (the " Transaction "). The Transaction will consolidate the contiguous gold-silver exploration assets of Scottie's Cambria Project and AUX's Silver Crown, Independence, American Creek, Lower Bear and Bear Pass Projects, all of which will benefit from operational and geological synergies.

 

Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that the shareholders of AUX will hold approximately 31% of Scottie's issued and outstanding shares. The board of Scottie will remain the same.

  •  
  •   Three advanced Projects in the Stewart Mining Camp – Scottie Gold Mine, Georgia (including the Georgia River Mine) and Cambria (including five historical mines). All three Projects will be drilled in the 2021 field season including a 12,500 metre three rig diamond drill program at the Scottie Gold Mine.

     
  •  
  •   Scottie's significant infrastructure in Stewart will provide operational synergies to AUX's projects.

     
  •  
  •   Scottie will be well-capitalized with over $6 million in cash.

"The 2021 field season will be a transformative one for the combined company as we aggressively advance the total land package with a combined 16,000 metres of diamond drilling coupled with geophysics and property scale geochemical surveys," comments Brad Rourke , Chief Executive Officer of Scottie. "Due to the complementary land packages, consolidation of Scottie and AUX is a clear value add for shareholders in both companies."

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
