SCOTTIE AND AUX SIGN AMALGAMATION AGREEMENT TO CONSOLIDATE
THE STEWART MINING CAMP IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 6, 2021 – 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.
Anticipated Benefits of the Transaction
• District scale 522 km 2 100% owned in the heart of the Stewart Mining Camp adjacent to
Pretium Resources and Ascot Resources Premier and Red Mountain deposits in the Golden
Triangle (Figure 1).
• Consolidation of AUX’s Silver Crown, Independence, American Creek, Lower Bear and Bear
Pass Projects with Scottie’s Cambria Project. The expanded Cambria Project will cover
27,465 contiguous hectares and includes five historical mines (Molly B, Bayview, Black Hills,
Blue Grouse and Terminus).
• Three advanced Projects in the Stewart Mini ng 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.”
