Scottie Resources Intersects 73.32 g/t Gold and 71.01 g/t Silver over 4.38
Metres on Bend Vein, Bow Property
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 03, 2020 -- Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is
pleased to announce that recent drilling continues to confirm and expand the Bend Vein target on the Bow Property. During
September, the Company completed 877.7 metres of diamond drilling on the Bend Vein within the Bow Property, which is
located just 2 km NE of the 100% owned, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine located in British Columbia, Canada’s Golden
Triangle region.
Results from drill hole SR19-11 include 73.32 g/t gold and 71.01 g/t silver over 4.38 m core length , which includes 152.5 g/t
gold and 143.56 g/t silver over 1.89 m. These results exemplify the high-grade gold and silver potential of the Bow Property.

The 2019 drilling program was designed to confirm historical results and expand the known extent of the high-grade gold and
silver mineralization at the Bend Vein. The company integrated the historical data and recent 2018 and 2019 exploration work
into new structural models to better understand the geometry of mineralization.
“The assays from the Bend Vein confirm the superb results of previous studies, and demonstrate a truly underexplored high-
grade gold and silver target,” said Bradley Rourke, the Company’s CEO and President. “Past drilling on the Bend Vein only
probed to a maximum vertical depth of ~55 m. Our drilling this season proves that the mineralized structure extends deeper
than previously tested, and substantially increased the strike length of known mineralization. Drilling during the 2020 season
will allow us to further prove the scale of this structurally controlled high-grade vein deposit.”
Bend Vein
Prior to the Company’s 2019 drill program, the Bend Vein had only seen limited reported drilling, totalling 1525.23 m over three
short drill programs (Table 2). Drilling during these programs was focused on demonstrating the extent of a near surface, high-
grade block of gold and silver ore to feed into the Scottie Gold Mine mill – no exploration style drilling was done to test along
the Bend Fault structure to assess a bigger system. Drilling during the 2019 program has substantiated the grades contained
in the high-grade ore block, and tested the structure at depth and along strike. Results from SR19-08 demonstrate that gold
mineralization continues east along the Bend fault structure, extending the area of known mineralization for an additional 375
m (Figure 1, Table 1). Future drilling of the Bend vein will focus on significant step outs to test geophysical and geochemical
anomalies along the Bend Fault, as well as testing plunge controls on the high-grade ore block.

The Bend Vein is a quartz-carbonate-chlorite sulphide bearing vein system located in/along the east-northeast trending Bend
Fault, whose strike has been traced for more than 700 m. Sulphide mineralization within the vein consists of up to 60%
combined pyrrhotite and pyrite, along with minor chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Late stage faulting has brecciated the footwall
of the Bend Vein, and minor related shears have cut the vein into steeply plunging segments.

Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (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 samples. Gold was assayed using a fire
assay with atomic absorption spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au).
