Scottie Reports High-Grade Surface Results ON Recently Discovered Summit Lake - Domino Zone; Including Samples up to 536 G/T Au
SCOTTIE REPORTS HIGH-GRADE SURFACE RESULTS ON RECENTLY DISCOVERED SUMMIT LAKE -
DOMINO ZONE; INCLUDING SAMPLES UP TO 536 g/t Au
Vancouver, British Columbia, November 14, 2019 – Scottie Resources Corp . (“ Scottie” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to provide an update on assay results from the newly discovered
Domino zone, including grab samples of up to 536 g/t Au and 735 g/t Ag, and a chip sample grading 10.5
g/t Au and 14.0 g/t Ag over 5.3 m. The Domino zone is situated on a mineralized E-W trending structure,
1.9 km west on strike of the 100% owned past-producing Scottie Gold Mine , where mineralization is
primarily controlled by E-W structures.
"These initial sample results are exciting , their distribution and high-grade nature fit spectacularly with
our working geological model" said Dr. Thomas Mu mford, the Com pany’s VP, Explor ation. " This
mineralized structure will be a high -priority drill target for the 2020 f ield season, the potential that it
may connect to the Scottie Gold Mine mineralizing system make this an exceptional discovery. Sampling
of many of these sites was only possible due to significant glacial retreat in recent years , and we are
eager to get back on the ground to find and delineate more drill targets.”

During the 2019 field season , prospecting, sampling, and detailed mapping was carried out on several
locations on the S ummit Lake property, resulting in the discovery of multiple new mineral occurrences
(see news releas e date August 27, 2019). One of the new discoveries was the Domino sh owing (Figure
1), which is described as a pyrrhotite > pyrite massive sulphide lens with quartz-carbonate veins, >30 m
long with an average width of 4 m. Follow-up sampling and mapp ing around the massive-sulphide lens
- 2 -
revealed another smaller massive-sulphide lens, and mult iple parallel mineralized shear structures
oriented E -W, which exhibit patchy oxidation and quart z-sericite-pyrite alteratio n. The Domino zone
consists of multiple parallel discreet shear structures that occur in a area that strikes for more than 700
m, and has a width of approximately 200 m. Grab sampling of th e mineralized shea r structures within
this zone returned multiple hi gh-grade gold values ( Figure 1) . A total of 57 grab samples were taken
from the Domino zone; 7 had gold grades of greater than 10 g/t (Table 1), and 16 with grades between 1
- 10 g/t.
Figure 1: 2019 Surface sampling on the Domino zone and surrounding area
The Domino zone is situated 1.9 km due west of the 100% owned Scottie Gold Mine (Figure 1) which
produced 95,426 oz of gold at a recovered grade of 16.2 g/t. The mine operated from 1981 -1985 and
was shut down due to economic challenges , not because the ore body was exhausted. Unmined
intercepts include:
O-zone = 107 g/t Au over 4.18 m, and
24.57 g/t Au over 5.09 m
N-zone = 21.75 g/t Au over 3.23 m, and
32.91 g/t Au over 3.63 m

Mineralization at the Scot tie G old Mine largely consists of east-west trending, steeply dipping shear
veins, that are comprised of pyrrhoti te > pyrite ± quartz ± calcite . Both the Scottie Gold Mine and the
Domino zone are hosted in Jurassic age andesitic volcanics of the Unuk River Formation (Hazelton
Group), and occur proximal to the Summit Lake Stock (part o f the Texas Creek plutonic suite ).
Additionally the Domino zone is situated adjacent to a large electromagnetic (EM) anomaly, comparable
in size and character to the EM anomaly coincident with the Scottie Gold Mine (Figure 1). Locally, EM
anomalies occurring within the andesitic rocks have been correlated with st rong pyrrhotite
mineralization. Due to the spatial connection and strong similarities in mineralogy and grades, fieldwork
and diamond drilling in 2020 will begin to evaluate the Domino zone as an extension of the mineralizing
system that formed the Scottie Gold Mine.
The Domino zone extends into the historically mapped sulphide zone, which returned grab samples with
grades up to 37.96 g/t. Historic work (1989 - 1990) on the sulphide zone was limited in scope, and was
strongly restricted by seasonal snow and glac ial cover age. In the f ollowing 29 years there has been
significant glacial retre at, exposing an expanse of altered an d sheared volcanic rocks. Sampling of this
altered and sheared zone during the 2019 season led to the discovery of the Domino zone.

As part of the 2019 program, a chip sample taken perpendicular to the primary trend of the Domino
zone averaged 10.5 g/t Au and 14.0 g/t Ag over a 5.3 m etre interval (Table 2) . The high gold gr ades
returned in the chip samples were remarkable due to the subtle mineralization observed during
sampling. It is i mportant to not e that the two highest grades obtained in the chip s ample are at the
ends, essentially bracketing the zone . The chip sample was centered in the middle of a wide zone of
gossanous rocks, and did not extend all the way outwards into unaltered rocks, leaving the possibility
that mineralization extends further – likely increasing the width of the zone . Additional surface
sampling is planned for the 2020 season to further define the extent of the zone.
A portion of the claims in the Summit Lake Property are subject to a 1.8% gross smelter return, of which
the Company can purchase up to 0.8% for $1,000,000 at any time.
Quality Assurance and Control
Results from sa mples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratorie s (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver,
Canada (an ISO 9001:2008 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken by Company
personnel under the direction of Thomas Mumford. A secure chain of custody is maintained in
transporting and storing of all sam ples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with ato mic absorption
spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Indiv idual grab samples taken during
the project rep resent point locati ons in th e field, and were typically collected from rocks covering an
- 4 -
area of less than 0.5 m2. Grab samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and they may not
be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.
