SCOTTIE RESOURCES REPORTS INTERCEPT OF 15.6 G/T GOLD OVER 2.25 METRES AND 3.21 G/T GOLD OVER 10.00 METRES AT BLUEBERRY ZONE
Scottie Resources Corp. (OTCQB: SCTSF) announced additional assay results from its Blueberry Zone at the Scottie Gold Mine Project in British Columbia. The results stem from a 14,500 m drill program initiated in 2021. Significant findings include hits of 15.6 g/t gold over 2.25 metres and 3.21 g/t gold over 10.00 metres. The Blueberry Zone has expanded to over 650 metres in strike length, indicating strong mineralization potential. President Brad Rourke highlighted the continuity and growth of the zone, suggesting its value as a major production center.
- Recent drilling at Blueberry Zone uncovered significant gold grades, including 15.6 g/t over 2.25 metres and 3.21 g/t over 10.00 metres.
- The Blueberry Zone's strike length has grown to over 650 metres, marking substantial expansion.
- President Rourke emphasized the zone's potential as a major production center and noted strong mineral continuity.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Scottie Resources Corp. ("Scottie" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR8) is pleased to report additional assay results from the Blueberry Zone on its
"Blueberry continues to deliver consistent results with these near surface hits, illustrating the grade continuity of the primary structure." comments President and CEO, Brad Rourke: "We believe that this expanding zone could be a major production centre for the area. The untested potential of the andesite – siltstone contact leaves tremendous upside as it remains open at depth and along strike where our geologists have mapped it hundreds of additional metres to the south before it becomes hidden beneath the overlying historic lakebed sediments."

* True thicknesses of mineralized intercepts are undetermined
Holes SR21-069 to -071 were all drilled from the same drill pad and were designed to test two distinct targets: (1) the outcropping northeast trending Blueberry Vein, (2) and the adjacent N-S mineralized contact between the andesite and siltstone. All three holes were successful in hitting both targets and confirmed the continuity of the respective mineralized structures. Historic work on the property had targeted the high-grade Blueberry vein outcropping at surface, however the importance of the adjacent andesite – siltstone contact as a major gold-bearing structure was not recognized. The significance of the contact was first realized when the Company's last hole in 2019 intercepted an unexpected intercept 7.44 g/t gold over 34.78 metres (SR19-20) in advance of the primary target. Drilling in 2020 followed up on the discovery and revealed the geological control on the mineralization.
Hole SR21-111 was drilled at the northern extent of the 2020 drilling and intercepted mineralization about 40 metres along strike. This hole was designed to test a till covered area between the 2020 drilling and the newly discovered high-grade area at the north end of the Blueberry Zone (October 7, 2021). SR21-123 tested the continuity of the structure south of the 2020 drilling.

Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples during the 2021 field season were analyzed at either ALS Laboratory in Vancouver, BC or at SGS Minerals in Burnaby, BC. The sampling program was undertaken 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 multi-element ICP-AES analysis was conducted on all samples with silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by emission spectrometry.
