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.
