VANCOUVER, BC, June 30,
2023 /CNW/ - Scottie Resources Corp.
("Scottie" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB:
SCTSF) (FSE: SR8) is pleased to report that it has commenced its
2023 drill program on its high-grade Blueberry Contact Zone target.
The Blueberry Contact Zone is located 2 kilometres
north-northeast of the 100% owned and royalty free, past-producing
high-grade Scottie Gold Mine, 35
kilometres north of the town of Stewart,
BC, along the Granduc Road.
President and CEO, Brad
Rourke commented: "We are up and running, with three drills
now turning on the Blueberry Contact Zone. Our 20,000 metre 2023
drill program is primarily focused on expansion of the structure,
both at depth and along strike, following up on the exceptional
results of last year's program. With a strong early start to the
season, we expect to begin releasing results over the coming months
and are excited to further define this high-grade, road accessible
gold system."
About the Blueberry Contact Zone
The Blueberry Zone is located just 2 kilometres northeast 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 gold over 1.90 metres.
Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy road access, the
Blueberry Vein had only limited reported drilling prior to the
Company's exploration work. 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 from 2020 -
2023, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling suggest that this
splay is in fact a major N-S mineralized structure, of which the
Blueberry Vein was only a secondary structure. The zone has a
drilled strike length of 1,550 metres, is steeply dipping, and has
been tested to 400 metres depth. The Blueberry Zone is located on
the Granduc Road, 20 kilometres north of the Ascot Resources'
Premier Project, which is fully financed for construction.
Newcrest's Brucejack Mine is located 25 kilometres to the
north.
