Scottie Resources Intercepts 26.9 G/T GOLD over 4 Metres at Blueberry Contact Zone
SCOTTIE RESOURCES INTERCEPTS 26.9 G/T GOLD OVER 4
METRES AT BLUEBERRY CONTACT ZONE
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Oct. 12, 2023
/CNW/ - Scottie Resources Corp. ("
Scottie
" or the "
Company
") (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to report assays
on the Scottie Gold Mine Project in
British Columbia's
Golden Triangle. The company continues to intercept high-grade gold over appreciable
widths in the Blueberry Contact Zone. The 2023 exploration program focused on expanding the zone along strike and at depth and increasing
confidence of the geological model through targeted drilling. The company drilled over 20,000 metres in 2023 and has over 15,500 metres of
pending assays. The Blueberry Contact Zone is located 2 km north-northeast of the 100% owned and royalty free, past-producing high-grade
Scottie Gold Mine
, 35 kilometres north of the town of
Stewart, BC
, along the Granduc Road.
Highlights:
Drillhole SR23-247 intersected
26.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 4 metres (m)
and
13.9 g/t gold over
2.04 m
(Table 1, Figures 1,2)
Drillhole SR23-249 intersected
3.01 g/t gold over
9 m
(Table 1, Figures 1,2)
Drillhole SR23-242 intersected
5.3 g/t gold over
4.05 m
(Table 1, Figures 1,3)
Testing during 2023 of the main Blueberry Zone shows increased vein density relative to previous modelling.
President and CEO,
Brad Rourke
commented: "These additional robust intercepts from the Blueberry Contact Zone continue to support and
enhance our current model and understanding of the orebody. Of the 20,000 metres drilled this season, almost 17,000 was directed towards
Blueberry – taking the total drilling on the zone from 23,000 metres (prior to 2023) to almost 40,000 metre total. This additional information will
allow for much more detailed modelling and interpretation of the structures and provide vectors to pursue additional high-grade zones."

About the Blueberry Contact Zone
The Blueberry Zone is located just 2 kilometres northeast of the 100% owned, past-producing
Scottie Gold Mine
located in
British Columbia,
Canada's
Golden Triangle region. Historic trenching and channel sampling of the Blueberry Vein include results of 103.94 g/t gold over 1.43
metres, and 203.75 g/t gold over 1.90 metres. Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy road access, the Blueberry Vein had only limited
reported drilling prior to the Company's exploration work. The target was significantly advanced during Scottie's 2019 drill program when an
interval grading 7.44 g/t gold over 34.78 metres was intersected in a new N-S oriented zone adjacent to the main Blueberry Vein. The drill
results received from 2020 - 2023, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling suggest that the N-S mineralized trend is a first order 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 2022,
the extent of the N-S zone, defined by the contact between andesite and siltstone units of the
Hazelton
and the presence of the cross-cutting
sulfide-rich structures, has a drilled strike length of 1,550 metres and has been tested to 400 metres depth. The Blueberry Zone is located on
the Granduc Road, 20 kilometres north of the Ascot Resources' Premier Project, which is fully financed for construction. Newcrest's Brucejack
Mine is located 25 kilometres to the north.
