Scottie drills 13.2 m of 7.94 g/t Au at Blueberry

Mr. Brad Rourke reports

SCOTTIE RESOURCES INTERCEPTS 7.94 G/T GOLD OVER 13.2 METRES AT BLUEBERRY CONTACT ZONE AND ANNOUNCES FINANCING

Scottie Resources Corp. has released new assays on the Blueberry contact zone in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, including several high-grade intercepts through the Fifi and Lemoffe vein zones along the Blueberry contact. The Blueberry contact zone is located two kilometres north-northeast of the 100-per-cent-owned and royalty-free, past-producing high-grade Scottie gold mine, 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, B.C., along the Granduc Road.

Highlights:

  • Drill hole SR23-279 targeted the Blueberry-Fifi-Lemoffe vein zones, intersecting 7.94 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 13.2 metres (m), including 36.1 g/t gold over 2.30 m.
    • Intercepts start at a depth from surface of approximately 200 m;
    • The lower intercept occurs on the siltstone side of the Blueberry contact zone.
  • Drill hole SR23-276 targeted the Fifi-Lemoffe vein zones, intersecting 3.02 g/t gold over 5.25 m, including 9.9 g/t gold over 1.25 m.
  • Drill hole SR23-271 intersected 18.7 g/t gold over one m on the Lemoffe vein zone.

President and chief executive officer Brad Rourke commented: "Results from the Blueberry contact zone continue to define a robust system of high-grade sulphide-rich veins hosted in an envelope of lower-grade material centred around the near vertical andesite and siltstone contact. We welcome these results and look forward to releasing the remaining holes over the coming weeks and outlining priorities and targets for our upcoming drill season."

About the Blueberry contact zone

The Blueberry contact zone is located just two kilometres northeast of the 100-per-cent-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 north-south-oriented zone adjacent to the main Blueberry vein. The drill results received from 2020 to 2023, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling, suggest that the north-south mineralized trend is a first-order structure that hosts an array of southwest-trending, subparallel, sulphide-rich veins that obliquely crosscut it which host high-grade gold. As of the end of 2022, the extent of the north-south zone, defined by the contact between andesite and siltstone units of the Hazelton formation and the presence of the crosscutting sulphide-rich structures, has a drilled strike length of 1,550 metres and has been tested to 400 metres depth. The Blueberry contact zone is located on the Granduc Road, 20 kilometres north of the Ascot Resources' Premier project, which is fully financed for construction. Newmont's Brucejack mine is located 25 kilometres to the north.

Financing

The company also announces a non-brokered private placement of securities for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5-million.

The offering will comprise a combination of: (i) non-flow-through units to be sold at a price of 18 cents per NFT unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2-million; and (ii) flow-through units (the charity FT units) to be sold at a price of 27 cents per charity FT unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3-million. Each NFT unit will comprise one common share in the capital of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each charity FT unit will comprise one common share that will qualify as a flow-through share within the meaning of Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one warrant. The warrants for all units will be subject to the same terms, with each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share for a period of three years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of 28 cents per warrant share.

The company intends to use the gross proceeds raised from the charity FT offering for exploration and related programs on the company's Scottie gold mine property which includes the Blueberry contact zone, and the gross proceeds from the NFT offering for general working capital and administrative purposes.

The entire gross proceeds from the charity FT offering will be used for Canadian exploration expenses as such term is defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of Canadian exploration expense in Subsection 66.1(6) of the tax act, and flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 127(9) of the tax act that will qualify as flow-through mining expenditures, and B.C. flow-through mining expenditures as defined in Subsection 4.721(1) of the Income Tax Act (British Columbia), which will be incurred on or before Dec. 31, 2025, and renounced with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2024, to the initial purchasers of charity FT units.

The company may pay finders' fees comprising cash and non-transferable warrants in connection with the offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued and sold under the offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance. Completion of the offering and the payment of any finders' fees remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Termination of the Independence and Silver Crown option agreement

Scottie reports that the corporation has terminated the Independence and Silver Crown property option agreement that was entered into by AUX Resources Ltd. on June 5, 2020, and will have no further interest in the property. One hundred per cent of all rights, title and interest will revert back to Richard Billingsley. Scottie acquired the option agreement when it merged with AUX Resources in 2021.

Quality assurance and quality control

Results from samples taken during the 2023 field season were analyzed at SGS Minerals in Burnaby, B.C. 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 (plus nine g/t gold). Analysis by four-acid digestion with multielement inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy analysis was conducted on all samples with silver and base metal overlimits being reanalyzed by emission spectrometry.

Dr. Mumford, PGeo, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical information contained in this news release on behalf of the company.
