Scottie Discovers New Mineralization Trend at Blueberry Zone, Reports Intercepts of 22.3 g/t Gold Over 6.1 m and 8.96 g/t Gold Over 13.7 m

Scottie Resources Corp. (" Scottie " or the " Company ") (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to report new assay results for the Blueberry Zone, including the discovery of a new mineralization trend that runs oblique to the historic Blueberry Vein target. Intersection of multiple high-grade intervals along strike (including 22.3 gt gold over 6.1 m), define an intensely mineralized gold trend oriented north-south. This new target remains open along strike and depth, with numerous high-grade grab samples delineating a zone that exceeds 800 metres in strike length. The Blueberry Zone is located on the Granduc Road, 2 km north-northeast of the past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine.

CEO, Bradley Rourke commented: "Fantastic drill results in an ideal location! This new Blueberry trend is a near surface target, literally situated on a road. The grades and widths of these results get us extremely excited about the economic potential of the area. Bolstered by the high-grade grab samples from this year, drilling in 2021 will see us aggressively step out along this new trend to establish the full extent of this remarkably large and high-grade system."

Blueberry Zone

The Bow Property's Blueberry Zone is located just 2 km NE of the 100% owned, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine located in British Columbia, Canada's Golden Triangle region. Historic trenching and channel sampling of the Blueberry Vein include results of 103.94 g/t gold over 1.43 metres, and 203.75 g/t over 1.90 metres. Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy road access, the Blueberry Vein has only limited reported drilling. The target was significantly advanced during Scottie's 2019 drill program when an interval grading 7.44 g/t gold over 34.78 metres was intersected in a new splay off zone of the main Blueberry Vein. The drill results received so far in 2020, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling suggest that this splay is in fact a major N-S mineralizing structure, of which the Blueberry Vein was only a secondary structure. This near surface zone is much wider than pursued in previous exploration models and establishing the orientation and continuity of it was a priority during the 2020 drill program. A total 1609 metres in 11 holes were drilled into the Blueberry Zone during 2020. Future drill campaigns will increasingly step out along strike and at depth to further define the extent and grade of the zone.

Drill holes SR20-40 and -45 were designed confirm that the high-grade mineralizing trend continues to the south of the north-north east oriented Blueberry vein. These two short holes (42.5 and 54.4 metres, respectively) were drilled at -45°, and intercepted near surface mineralization including 67.9 g/t gold and 10.2 g/t silver over 1.93 meters .

Drill hole SR20-48 was designed to test the northern continuity of the N-S trend, as well as the potential extension of the Blueberry Vein structure. The hole successfully intercepted two distinct, high-grade mineralized intervals – correlating well with the targeted structures (Figure 1). At just 18 metres downhole, the interval associated with the N-S structure consisted of strongly sheared and altered quartz-carbonate veins with pyrrhotite stringers occurring parallel to shear fabric, exhibiting pervasive sericite and patchy chlorite alteration; the interval graded 35.8 g/t gold over 2.33 meters . From 56.67 until 70.35 metres an interval hosting a massive, strongly sheared pyrrhotite-carbonate vein was intercepted, located on strike from the projected Blueberry vein, and graded 8.96 g/t gold over 13.68 metres .

Preliminary results from the 2020 mapping and sampling program include numerous high-grade grab samples occurring along a broad N-S trend, south of the Blueberry Vein (Table 2, Figure 2). These results, coupled with multiple historically sampled high-grade showings to the north of the vein (Figure 2), suggest that the potential strike length of the mineralizing trend exceeds 800 meters. Many of the high-grade gold samples are associated with very strong cobalt mineralization, with values in excess of 1% Co (Table 2). Over 60 grab samples from the Blueberry Zone are still pending assay results.

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.

Overview

The process of discovering, developing and mining gold can be costly when exploring in areas with unproven gold deposits. For many junior mining companies, success is directly tied to their ability to rapidly discover and mine gold. That’s why one of the most reliable and cost-effective strategies involves tapping into proven gold mining regions to drive even more value out of historical deposits and nearby areas.

Scottie Resources (TSXV:SCOT,FWB:SR8,OTCQB: SCTSF) is an exploration company that is focused on the acquisition and evaluation of gold and silver properties located within British Columbia’s world-class Golden Triangle, a 500 kilometer belt of mineralization in which over 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver and 40 billion pounds of copper have already been discovered, and there’s likely much more left to find.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
