Geophysics and Surficial Sampling Increase the Extent of Scottie Resources’ High-Grade Domino Zone
14 Enero 2021 - 6:55AM
Scottie Resources Corp. (“
Scottie” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to report grab
sample results and preliminary results from an induced polarization
survey carried out over the Domino Zone. Numerous high-grade
surficial samples (up to 81 g/t gold) increase the strike length of
the mineralized zone to 900 metres, and the width to 450 metres.
The Domino Zone was discovered in 2019, when high-grade surficial
samples (up to 536 g/t gold) were collected in an area of recent
glacial retreat. The zone is located on strike, 2 kilometres west
of the known high-grade deposit of the past-producing Scottie Gold
Mine located in the southern area of BC’s Golden Triangle.
CEO, Bradley Rourke commented: “Our detailed
mapping and sampling this year has shown that the structure
discovered in 2019 is much more extensive than originally thought,
and the high-grade mineralization is widespread and continues
underneath the glacier to the south. Results from the IP survey
suggest that there are highly prospective drill targets along the
structure, just west of our 2020 drilling. The size and grade
distribution of this mineralizing system indicates that it may host
a significant gold deposit, and Scottie will continue to drill the
expanding zone in 2021.”
Domino Zone
Located ~2 km due west of the Scottie Gold Mine,
the Domino Zone exhibits similar mineralization style, grade, and
orientation to the past-producing mine. Glacial retreat has only
recently exposed this area, leading to the 2019 discovery of
multiple large (10+ m long) massive sulphide lenses. During the
2019 program, first pass surficial sampling returned 9 samples over
5 g/t gold, including a 5.3 m long chip sample averaging 10.5 g/t
gold, with the highest-grade grab sample graded 536 g/t gold and
129 g/t silver.

Preliminary results from the 2020 mapping
program include high-grade grab samples from three new showings,
named Mystic, Moondance, and Gloria (Figure 1, Table 1). These
showings were only recently exposed due to rapid retreat of the
adjacent glaciers. None of these new targets have ever been drill
tested. The distribution of these showings indicate that the Domino
Zone is significantly larger than was first estimated in 2019, with
a strike length exceeding 900 metres and a width of at least 450
metres, and suggests that mineralization may continue underneath
the glacier. These three new zones will be drill tested in
2021.
2020 Domino Zone Highlights
- Drilling of the Domino Zone in 2020
consisted of 18 drill holes from 6 drill pads
- Tested an area of 300 metres of strike length and 200 metres of
width
- Drill results to follow shortly
- Follow-up sampling of the Domino
Zone yielded 253 rock samples, and preliminary results show that
the zone is significantly larger than the original 700 m x 200 m
target
- A grid of 8 induced polarization
(IP) lines were surveyed over top of the Domino Zone
- In addition to the IP grids, a gradient IP survey was performed
between the Domino Zone and the Scottie Gold Mine located 2 km to
the east, testing for large scale conductive anomalies
- A ~634 line-km AirTEM
Electromagnetic (EM) survey was flown over the entire Scottie Gold
Mine Project, including the Domino Zone, results are still
pending

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.
