ABOUT SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP.
Scottie Resources holds 100% interest in the Scottie Gold Mine Property, which includes the high-grade,
past-producing Scottie Gold Mine and the adjacent Blueberry Contact Zone. The Company also owns a
100% interest in the Georgia Project, host to the past-producing Georgia River Mine, as well as the
Cambria, Sulu, and Tide North properties. In total, Scottie controls approximately 58,500 hectares of
highly prospective mineral claims within the Stewart Mining Camp in British Columbia's Golden Triangle-
one of the world's most prolific mineralized districts.
Scottie's current resource estimate on the Scottie Gold Mine Project includes a total of 703,000 gold
ounces at an average grade of 6.1 g/t (Inferred category), highlighting the potential for a significant near-
surface, high-grade deposit. The Company's strategy is to continue expanding this resource and to
define additional mineralization around past-producing mines through systematic drilling and surface
exploration.
In parallel, Scottie is evaluating a potential Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) scenario at the Scottie Gold Mine.
With permits in hand, a 10,000-tonne bulk sample is underway. This initiative provides an opportunity to
collect key geotechnical and metallurgical data while assessing a low-capex path to potential near-term
revenue through toll milling or third-party processing. This DSO concept does not imply a production
decision but reflects the optionality embedded in Scottie's portfolio.
