SCOTTIE RESOURCES REPURCHASES ALL ROYALTIES ON
ITS SCOTTIE GOLD MINE PROJECT
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Nov. 3, 2022
/CNW/ - Scottie Resources Corp. ("
Scottie
" or the "
Company
") (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF)
(FSE: SR8) is pleased to report that it has entered into an agreement to acquire all outstanding royalties on its 100% owned Scottie
Gold Mine Project, which includes both the Blueberry Zone and the high-grade, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. The Company has
also completed additional staking of open ground adjacent to its Georgia Project.
President and CEO,
Brad Rourke
: "Challenging market conditions in 2022 allowed
Scottie Gold
to negotiate with the existing
royalty holders to buy back royalties on the claims within the Scottie Gold Mine Project at attractive valuations. Unencumbering
the Blueberry Zone and Scottie Gold Mine increases the inherent valuation of the assets and provides optionality as we continue
to advance this exciting project."
Summit Lake Claims (Option and Royalty)
Scottie has entered into a royalty purchase agreement pursuant to which Scottie will purchase 100% of a 1.8% gross smelter return
royalty (the "
Summit Lake
Royalty
") on the Summit Lake property, located in
British Columbia
. In consideration of the purchase of the
Summit Lake Royalty, Scottie will issue 2,500,000 common shares to the vendor at a deemed price of
$0.19
per share (the
"
Royalty Acquisition
").
Scottie originally entered into an option agreement on the Summit Lake property in
April 2019
(see news release dated
April 30, 2019
)
and completed the 100% acquisition of the Summit Lake property from the vendor in
October 2022
. The
Summit Lake
property hosts
the Domino Zone, located ~2 km due west of the Scottie Gold Mine, and the Domino Zone exhibits similar mineralization style, grade,
and orientation to the past-producing mine.
The Royalty Acquisition is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Scottie Gold Mine (Royalty)
Scottie recently entered into a royalty purchase agreement pursuant to which Scottie purchased 100% of the 3% net smelter return
royalty (the "
Scottie Royalty
") attached to the Scottie Gold Mine in the Skeena Mining Division of
British Columbia
. The Scottie Royalty
was in and to certain located and crown granted mineral claims comprising the Scottie Gold Mine and the Blueberry Zone. In
consideration of the purchase of the Scottie Royalty, Scottie paid
$1.6 million
to the vendor.
Georgia Project Staking
Scottie recently completed staking around its Georgia Project, which hosts the high-grade past producing Georgia River Mine.
Additional staking of 6,700 hectares expanded the claims to encompass additional known mineral occurrences, as well as connecting
the existing claims into a single contiguous package. The new claims host lower to upper
Hazelton
volcanic and sedimentary units
interpreted to be in the same geologic setting as
Dolly Varden
and Anyox VMS deposits. Both stratiform mineralization and high-grade
gold veins have been discovered within the newly acquired claims.
The high-grade gold Geogia Project now covers more than 16,000 hectares centered on the past-producing Georgia River Mine,
located on tidewater 16 kilometres south of the town of
Stewart, BC
, in the prolific Golden Triangle. The Georgia River Mine, which last
operated in 1939 with a head grade of 22.6 g/t gold, contains 1.2 kilometres of underground access on three levels.
