Scottie Resources Corp. (“
Scottie” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to report new
assay results for the Blueberry Zone, including the discovery of a
new mineralization trend that runs oblique to the historic
Blueberry Vein target. Intersection of multiple high-grade
intervals along strike (including
22.3 g/t gold
over
6.1 m), define an intensely mineralized gold
trend oriented north-south. This new target remains open along
strike and depth, with numerous high-grade grab samples delineating
a zone that exceeds 800 metres in strike length. The Blueberry Zone
is located on the Granduc Road, 2 km north-northeast of the
past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine.
CEO, Bradley Rourke commented: “Fantastic drill
results in an ideal location! This new Blueberry trend is a near
surface target, literally situated on a road. The grades and widths
of these results get us extremely excited about the economic
potential of the area. Bolstered by the high-grade grab samples
from this year, drilling in 2021 will see us aggressively step out
along this new trend to establish the full extent of this
remarkably large and high-grade system.”

Blueberry Zone
The Bow Property’s Blueberry Zone is located
just 2 km NE 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
over 1.90 metres. Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy
road access, the Blueberry Vein has only limited reported drilling.
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 splay off zone of the main Blueberry Vein.
The drill results received so far in 2020, coupled with surficial
mapping and sampling suggest that this splay is in fact a major N-S
mineralizing structure, of which the Blueberry Vein was only a
secondary structure. This near surface zone is much wider than
pursued in previous exploration models and establishing the
orientation and continuity of it was a priority during the 2020
drill program. A total 1609 metres in 11 holes were drilled into
the Blueberry Zone during 2020. Future drill campaigns will
increasingly step out along strike and at depth to further define
the extent and grade of the zone.

and 2020 drilling of the Blueberry Zone, illustrating the locations

intercepts, and the projection of the newly discovered N-S
mineralizing trend.

Drill holes SR20-40 and -45 were designed
confirm that the high-grade mineralizing trend continues to the
south of the north-north east oriented Blueberry vein. These two
short holes (42.5 and 54.4 metres, respectively) were drilled at
-45°, and intercepted near surface mineralization including
67.9 g/t gold and 10.2 g/t silver
over 1.93 meters.
Drill hole SR20-48 was designed to test the
northern continuity of the N-S trend, as well as the potential
extension of the Blueberry Vein structure. The hole successfully
intercepted two distinct, high-grade mineralized intervals –
correlating well with the targeted structures (Figure 1). At just
18 metres downhole, the interval associated with the N-S structure
consisted of strongly sheared and altered quartz-carbonate veins
with pyrrhotite stringers occurring parallel to shear fabric,
exhibiting pervasive sericite and patchy chlorite alteration; the
interval graded 35.8 g/t gold over 2.33
meters. From 56.67 until 70.35 metres an interval hosting
a massive, strongly sheared pyrrhotite-carbonate vein was
intercepted, located on strike from the projected Blueberry
vein, and graded 8.96 g/t
gold over 13.68
metres.
Preliminary results from the 2020 mapping and
sampling program include numerous high-grade grab samples occurring
along a broad N-S trend, south of the Blueberry Vein (Table 2,
Figure 2). These results, coupled with multiple historically
sampled high-grade showings to the north of the vein (Figure 2),
suggest that the potential strike length of the mineralizing trend
exceeds 800 meters. Many of the high-grade gold samples are
associated with very strong cobalt mineralization, with values in
excess of 1% Co (Table 2). Over 60 grab samples from the Blueberry
Zone are still pending assay results.

Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples were analyzed at MSALABS in
Langley, Canada (an ISO 9001 accredited facility). The sampling
program was undertaken by Company personnel 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 Au). Analysis by four acid digestion
with 48 element ICP-MS analysis was conducted on all samples with
silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by emission
spectrometry.
