Scottie Resources Intercepts 8.37 g/t Gold
over 8.45 m and 122 g/t Gold over 1.2 m at
Blueberry Contact Zone at Scottie Gold Mine
Project, BC
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 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. The road-
accessible Scottie Gold Mine Project, which includes the 100%-owned past-producing Scottie Gold
Mine and the adjacent Blueberry Contact Zone, is located 35 kilometres north of Stewart, BC.
"Positive results continue to be returned from the initial Blueberry infill holes this season," commented
Brad Rourke, CEO of the Company. "Overall, the frequency of high-grade intercepts with meaningful
widths has exceeded our expectations and supports a strong resource conversion rate from inferred
to indicated. Drilling is ongoing with 5 drills currently active, we expect to complete more than 25,000
m this season, our largest program to date. Additionally, mining, crushing and trucking of the Bulk
Sample has been completed, and we are now awaiting assays to inform the marketing of the
material."
Highlights:
Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-374 intersected
8.37 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 8.45
metres (m),
including
53.1 g/t gold over 1.0 m
at the Blueberry vein zone. The hole also
intercepted an additional Blueberry zone vein grading 6.78 g/t gold over 4.7 m (Table 1, Figures
1,2,3).
Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-377 intersected 1
22.0 g/t gold over 1.2 m
at the Blueberry vein
zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,4).
Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-373 intersected
5.64 g/t gold over 5.00 m
at the Blueberry vein
zone
and
8.16 g/t Au over 4.10
m the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2).
Bulk sample
progressing on schedule. The crushing and transportation of the sample has been
completed; it is now awaiting final gold assays and technical testing for marketing.

Bulk Sample Update
Mining and crushing of the sample is completed and has been transported to the Stewart Bulk Shipping
Terminal. The final product is being assayed and undergoing required technical work on its physical
properties for transport regulations.
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. and President of the Company, is 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), 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 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.
