Scottie Resources Reports 12.6 g/t Gold and 4.43 g/t Silver Over 5.22 Metres at Scottie Gold Mine M-zone

Scottie Resources Corp. (" Scottie " or the " Company ") (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to report drilling results on the infill and expansionary drilling around the Scottie Gold Mine M-zone including intercepts of 12.6 gt gold and 4.43 gt silver over 5.22 metres and 10.7 gt gold and 5.38 gt silver over 5.70 metres . The 2020 drill results continue to establish both lateral and vertical expansion and continuity of high-grade gold mineralization in the past-producing mine. The 100% owned 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, and 20 km north of Ascot's Premier Mill along the Granduc haul road.

CEO, Bradley Rourke commented: "The 2020 drill program at the Scottie Gold Mine Project continues to deliver strong results that indicate that the gold mineralization at Scottie is more extensive than previously tested. Past mining practices used a historical cut-off grade of 10 g/t gold, and with the current market conditions the opportunity to expand the mineralizing system is excellent as our recent results indicate. During 2021 the Company will continue expanding the drill program and advancing towards delivering a potential resource."

2020 Drilling Program

The Company completed 7,040 m of drilling in 46 holes during 2020 and took 921 surface samples on its Scottie Gold Mine area projects. The Company has previously released high-grade drill results for the O-Zone, the Domino Zone and the Blueberry Zone (see news releases Oct 6, 2020   Dec 8, 2020 , Jan 21, 2021 ). The high-grade M-Zone drill intercepts presented in this release complement drill results released in 2019 and 2020 on near mine targets, including the Domino and Blueberry Zones, and demonstrate the Company's success in advancing multiple high-grade areas within the Company's claims in and around the Scottie Gold Mine.

Scottie Gold Mine

The Scottie Gold Mine, which operated between 1981 and 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.

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.

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.

Gold Hits Fresh All-time High, Then Pulls Back After Fed Cuts Rates

The US Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark interest rate for the first time in four years on Wednesday (September 18), beginning its cutting cycle with a sizeable 50 basis point reduction.

The Federal Open Market Committee has held rates steady since July 2023 after starting to hike in March 2022.

Speaking at a press conference after the decision, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the US economy has come into balance, which means the time has come to cut rates. He added that the cut puts the central bank in a good position to respond quickly with changes should inflation begin to reverse or should the labor market deteriorate.
