Scottie Resources Intercepts 30.1 g/t Gold
over 23.65 m and 9.2 g/t Gold over 21.00 m at
Blueberry Contact Zone
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 8, 2025) - Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV:
SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR80) ("
Scottie
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report new assays
from its 2025 drilling of the Blueberry Contact Zone within the Scottie Gold Mine Project, including
multiple high-grade gold intercepts on the Blueberry, Fifi and Lemoffe vein zones. The road accessible
Scottie Gold Mine Project, which includes the 100% owned historic mine and the adjacent Blueberry
Contact Zone is located 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, BC.
These results mark the first assays from our 2025 drill program, which is targeting 25,000 to 30,000
metres of drilling over the coming months.
Highlights:
Blueberry Contact drillhole SR24-364 intersected
30.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 23.65
metres (m),
including
83.3 g/t gold over 4.4 m
at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,3).
Blueberry Contact drillhole SR24-362 intersected
9.18 g/t gold over 21.00 m
and
5.19 g/t gold
over 6.00 m
at the Blueberry vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,4).
Blueberry Contact drillhole SR24-360 intersected
23.1 g/t gold over 2.00 m
at the Fifi vein zone
(Table 1, Figures 1,2,5).
3 of the 5 reported holes have discreet intercepts of >5 g/t gold in the siltstone host rock, including
29.8 g/t gold over 1.05 m
in SR25-364. Defining targeting success for a key resource growth
target in 2025.
First results
from the 2025 drill program - total program targeting 25,000 - 30,000 m of diamond
drilling (>14,000 m drilled to date).
Bulk sample
progressing on schedule, both blasts have now been completed, mucking, sorting,
crushing and transport to continue in coming weeks.
With our most ambitious drill program now underway, we are extremely encouraged by the strength of
these early results. Hole SR25-364 has returned the best intercept ever drilled by the Company,
underscoring the quality of the system and the exciting potential we have ahead of us.," commented Dr.
Thomas Mumford, President. "These first infill results from our 2025 drill program significantly strengthen
confidence in the geological model at the Scottie Gold Mine Project, further de-risking and enhancing the
DSO model. Importantly, many of these reported grades exceed those of adjacent historical holes, which
could positively impact both ounces overall grade in the next resource update. We are excited to build on
this strong start and look forward to releasing additional results as the program advances."

The reported drill results in this release represent the first batch of received holes since the publication of
the project's maiden resource estimate in early May 2025, which outline an inferred Mineral Resource
Estimate of 703k gold ounces grading an average grade of 6.1 g/t gold. The primary objectives for the
released holes were two-fold: (1) increase geological confidence to transition ounces from inferred to
indicated classification with infill drilling, and (2) to expand modelled resource shapes by targeting the
extensions of know vein zones - particularly into the siltstone side of the Blueberry Contact Zone. Due to
the repetitive structural orientation of the veins it is possible to achieve both goals with individual drill
holes (see cross-sections in Figures 3 - 5). Subsequent drilling this season is focused both on
advancing our targeting initiative and on pure exploration, such as at the Wolf Zone. In addition, select
holes are being completed for hydrogeological and geotechnical purposes to support the engineering
and study components of the project.

Bulk Sample Update
Having received the permit for the 10,000-tonne surface bulk sample in late-July, the Company has
already completed both scheduled blasts for collection of the sample and is in the process of mucking
and sorting the second blast. Samples from the pile of the sorted material from the first blast has been
sent out for preliminary gold and multielement analysis, as well as large samples for comminution testing.
Preliminary results are consistent with expected grades and tonnage estimates. Once mucking is
complete, crushing of the mineralized material will commence. The sample is on track to be transported
off site for third-party processing in late-September / early-October.

About the Scottie Gold Mine Project
Exploration of the Scottie Gold Mine Project over the past six years has produced exceptional drill
results through the discovery of high-grade gold in four new zones (Blueberry Contact Zone, Domino, D-
Zone, P-Zone) and the expansion of previously drill confirmed targets (Scottie Gold Mine, C-Zone, Bend
Vein, Stockwork). There is a clear spatial relation between the outcropping and drill-confirmed high-
grade gold targets and the contact with the Jurassic aged, Texas Creek Plutonic suite intrusion.
Geological work in the area has established strong connections between the various deposits. The
chemical, mineralogical, structural, and age relationships of the deposits and host rocks support a
genetic model whereby all deposits are linked to the same mineralizing event.
The Blueberry Contact Zone is located just 2 kilometres northeast of the 100% owned, past-producing
Scottie Gold Mine (SGM) 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 - 2024, 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 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 is targeting the completion of the PEA in Q4 2025. The PEA will investigate a high-margin
DSO operation to deliver a gold concentrate to Asian copper/precious metals smelters. 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. The PEA will be based
on the recently reported Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") of 703,000 ounces of gold at an
average grade of 6.1 g/t gold (see
NR dated May 7, 2025
). 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.
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. A secure chain
of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of 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., a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed 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), highlighting the 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.
In parallel, Scottie is evaluating a potential Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) scenario at the Scottie Gold Mine.
With permits recently in hand, a 10,000-tonne bulk sample is underway.
This initiative provides an
opportunity to collect key geotechnical and metallurgical data while assessing a low-capex path to
potential near-term revenue through toll milling or third-party processing. This DSO concept does not
imply a production decision but reflects the optionality embedded in Scottie's portfolio.
