VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company“) (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR8) is pleased to report new assays on its Blueberry Contact Zone including two high-grade intercepts of 34.5 g/t gold over 4.7 metres (SR22-186) and 130 g/t gold over 1.05 metres (SR22-222). Both of the high-grade intercepts occur at the lithological boundary between andesitic and siltstone units of the Hazelton Group; a near vertical, north-south oriented target known as the Blueberry Contact Zone. The high-grade intercept of Hole SR22-186 is approximately 90 metres downdip from hole SR22-156 which intercepted 194 g/t gold over 2.4 meters, reinforcing the extremely high-grade nature of that northern area of the deposit. Drilling in 2022 extended the strike length of the zone to >1450 metres and the depth to 390 metres. The Blueberry Contact Zone is 100% owned and royalty free and is located 2 kilometres north-northeast of the past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine, 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, BC, along the Granduc Road.

* True thicknesses of mineralized intercepts are undetermined
President and CEO, Brad Rourke: “Our 2022 drill program continues to deliver high grade intercepts. The team leveraged previously collected data in order to come up with aggressive, yet geologically prudent drill targets that would substantially increase the size of the deposit, as well as illustrate the continuity of high-grade zones within it. Our success rate along the structure points to a robust mineralizing system – which still offers tremendous upside through expansion. We’ve begun planning our 2023 program and are anticipating a minimum of 20,000 metres of diamond drilling for the area.”
