R Otation Completes Purchase of Scottie GOLD Property
R OTATION COMPLETES PURCHASE OF SCOTTIE GOLD PROPERTY
Vancouver, British Columbia, Dec ember 13, 2017 - Rotation Minerals Ltd. (“Rotation” or the “Company”)
(TSXV: ROT) is pleased to announce that it has completed its purchase of a 100% interest in the Scottie
Gold property located in the heart of British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
The area known as the Golden Triangle of British Columbia is among the world’s most prolific mineralized
districts, host to past and current mining operat ions including Johnny Mountain, Red Mountain, Snip Mine,
Premier Mine, Golden Bear and Valley of the Kings. The Golden Triangle has reported mineral resources
(past production and current resources) in total of 67 million oz of gold, 569 million oz of silver and 27
billion pounds of copper.
The purchase price of the Scottie Gold property was $370,000. In the original agreement dated September
2012, the Company agreed to purchase an 80% interest in the Scottie Gold property. The terms of that
agreement were amended several times , most recently on August 31, 2016, when they were amended to
include the remaining 20% interest in the Scottie Gold property at no further cost to the Company.
The Scottie Gold property is located approximately 50 kms north of Stewart, British Colombia and consists
of 14 Crown Granted claims and 2 Modified Grid System (MGS) claims that are contiguous. The property
covers 107 hectares of MGS claims and 213 hectares of Crown Granted claims.
The Scottie Gold M ine operated from 198 1 to 1985 and produced 95,426 ounces of gold from 183,147
tonnes of mineralization. Four separate vein zones labelled the ‘L”, “M”, “N” and “O” zones were partially
explored by drilling and underground development. These four zones were the source of the gold produced
during the milling operation.
After closure of the mine, Wright Engineers prepared a report dated July 1985 that indicated diluted
mineral resources in the Proven, Probable and Possible categories (now known as Measured, Indicated and
Inferred in 43-101 classifications) within the four zones as 120,279 tonnes grading 19.31 g/t gold for a total
of 74,333 ounces. Wright Engineers used information supplied by the Scottie Gold Mine engineers and did
not independently confirm the information . The report by Wright Engineer’s relied on drill hole data and
underground sampling results from programs completed by the Scottie Gold Mine operators.
During the period from 2004 to 2006, further drilling by Tenajon Resource Corp. (“Tenajon”), led to a
resource estimation by Giroux Consultants in October , 2007. This resource estimation was based on
Tenajon’s drill hole data and the Scottie Gold Mine drill hole data and underground sampling. The results of
the estimation are outlined below:

The above resources have not been verified by t he Company and are not considered 43 -101 compliant
as they are not compliant with present standards of reporting. These estimates are historical and are
used for reference purposes only. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
historical estimate as current mineral resources. The issuer is not treating the historical estimate as
current mineral resources. The issuer has examined all the historical drill data, sampling plans and
production records and believes that the historical es timates are relevant. The issuer will need to
complete drill holes to verify the historical res ources in order to upgrade the estimates to make them
compliant with 43-101 standards.
The estimations of previous operators were based on mineralization define d in a zone 200 metres wide
and 200 metres long with a vertical range of 440 metres. The mineralization is open along strike and to
depth. Exploration to date has identified 13 potential zones of gold- bearing quartz-sulphide veining of the
same nature as ore milled at Scottie during its operation.
Brad Rourke, President of Rotation stated “Rotation is pleased to have completed the acquisition of the
Scottie Gold property, including the former Scottie Gold Mine. With over 1,000 metres of unexplored strike
and an additional 600 metres of open vertical extent , the Company believes the Scottie Gold property has
excellent potential to expand the extent of known mineralization . We are currently analyzing and
modelling historical data in order to identify targets for the 2018 drilling season.”
