Scottie Resources Hits Multiple High-Grade Gold Intercepts at Blueberry Contact Zone Including 34.3 g/t Gold over 3.30 Metres and 9.97 g/t Gold over 9.70 Metres
Scottie Resources Hits Multiple High-Grade
Gold Intercepts at Blueberry Contact Zone
Including 34.3 g/t Gold over 3.30 Metres and
9.97 g/t Gold over 9.70 Metres
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 28, 2026) - Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV:
SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR80) ("
Scottie
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report new assays
from its 2025 drilling of various zones within the Blueberry Contact Zone, at the Scottie Gold Mine
Project ("Scottie Gold Mine" or the "Project"). The road-accessible Project is located 35 kilometres north
of Stewart, BC, and is the subject of a newly released Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")
entitled Scottie Gold Mine Project (Bird et al., October 28, 2025, Scottie Gold Mine Project, SEDAR+).
2025 drilling continues to deliver excellent results at the Project. Hole SR25-420 intersected
34.3 grams
per tonne "g/t" gold over 3.30 metres
, including a high-grade interval of
90.8 g/t gold over 1.0
metres
within the Lemoffe vein zone. Hole SR25-424 intersected
9.97 g/t gold over 9.70 metres
,
including
21.1 g/t gold over 2.45 metres
.
Of the 27,000 metres drilled in 2025, only ~16,000 metres
have been reported to date.
"These results reinforce the strength and continuity of high-grade gold mineralization at Blueberry,"
stated Dr. Thomas Mumford, President. "With 27,000 meters drilled in 2025 we are well positioned to
continue expanding this high-grade predictable system. Hole SR25-424 is a great example of the
efficiency of our targeting at Blueberry, delivering multiple strong intercepts from separate vein zones.
Fully funded for 2026, we look forward to continuing to define additional mineralization."
Highlights:
Multiple high-grade intercepts from multiple vein zones within individual drill holes
Near surface high-grade mineralization
, including 6.44 g/t gold over 14 metres (starting at a
drill core length of 35 m; Figs. 1,2,5)
Results
de-risk and strengthen
the recently released PEA by improving confidence in mine
planning and future development scenarios
Strong grades
reported across all major Blueberry Contact vein zones reinforce confidence in a
robust, predicable mineralized system

About the Scottie Gold Mine Project
Over the past six years, exploration at the Scottie Gold Mine Project has delivered exceptional results -
highlighted by the discovery of four new high-grade zones (Blueberry Contact Zone, Domino, D-Zone,
and P-Zone) and the expansion of several historically drilled targets (Scottie Gold Mine, C-Zone, Bend
Vein, and Stockwork).
A clear spatial relationship has emerged between these high-grade zones and the contact with the
Jurassic-aged Texas Creek Plutonic Suite, providing a powerful framework for ongoing targeting.
Detailed geological, structural, mineralogical, and geochemical studies now point to a shared
mineralizing event across the property - linking the deposits into a broader, interconnected system with
significant growth potential.
The Blueberry Contact Zone, located 2 km northeast of the 100%-owned past producing Scottie Gold
Mine in BC's Golden Triangle, has rapidly advanced from a lightly drilled high-grade vein showing into a
major growth target. The target was significantly advanced during Scottie's 2019 drill program when an
interval was intersected in a new N-S oriented zone adjacent to the main Blueberry Vein. The drill results
received from 2020 - 2024, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling suggest that the N-S
mineralized trend is a controlling structure that hosts an array of SW-trending, sub-parallel, sulphide-rich
veins that obliquely crosscut it which host high-grade gold. As of the end of 2024, the extent of the N-S
zone, defined by the contact between andesite and siltstone units of the Hazelton Formation and the
presence of the cross-cutting sulfide-rich structures, has a drilled strike length of >1,550 metres and has
been tested to >525 metres depth. The Blueberry Contact Zone is located on the Granduc Road, 20
kilometres north of the Ascot Resources' Premier Mine. Newmont's Brucejack Mine is located 25
kilometres to the north.
The Company has recently completed a PEA which evaluates a low-capital DSO operation to deliver a
gold-rich gravel product to Asian copper/precious metals smelters. At a gold price of US$2600/oz the
project estimates an after-tax NPV(5%) of $215.8 M CAD with an IRR of 60.3%. By design, the
operation will eliminate the need for a gold processing plant and tailings facility, thereby significantly
reducing the capital required and resulting in a minimal environmental footprint, resulting in an initial
capital cost of $128.6 M CAD. The project envisages a shallow open pit on the Blueberry Zone to start,
followed by underground production from both Blueberry and the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. The
PEA also evaluates a toll milling scenario through the nearby Premier Mill, which results in an after-tax
NPV(5%) $380.1 M CAD and an IRR 89.9%.
Scottie's 2025 Bulk Sample program exemplifies the unique characteristics of this mining project, and
its ability to rapidly progress. From permitting to mining, crushing, transporting, shipping and sale of the
product, the program was executed in under a year, generating an estimated $9M in new revenue. With
this proven pathway, Scottie's has confidence in the simplicity and efficiency of its DSO model.
Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples taken during the 2025 field season were analyzed at SGS Minerals in Burnaby,
BC. The sampling program was undertaken under the direction of Dr. Thomas Mumford. The majority of
drill core was NQ in diameter, with select holes of HQ size primarily taken for geomechanical purposes.
Prior to sampling drill core was cut in half lengthwise, with half sent for assay and the remaining half kept
in Stewart, BC. Standards, blanks, and duplicate samples were taken at intervals and frequencies that
meet or exceed industry best practices. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and
storing all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic absorption spectrometry and
gravimetric finish when required (+9 g/t gold). Analysis by four acid digestion with multi-element ICP-
AES analysis was conducted on all samples with silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by
emission spectrometry.
Dr. Thomas Mumford, P.Geo., non-independent President of the Company, a qualified person under
National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news
release on behalf of the Company.
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) in 3.6 millon tonnes, highlighting the
development 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.
The Company has recently completed a PEA for the Scottie Gold Mine. The PEA outlines a robust
Direct-Ship Ore (DSO) development scenario with strong economics and significant upside through a
potential toll-milling option utilizing excess capacity at the nearby Premier mill. The base case DSO
