SCOTTIE RESOURCES LAUNCHES LARGEST EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN COMPANY HISTORY, KICKING OFF FULLY FUNDED 50,000 METRE DRILL CAMPAIGN
Scottie Resources Corp. has launched its 2026 expansion focused drill program at the road-accessible Scottie gold mine project located 35 kilometres north of Stewart in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
Scottie Resources' fully funded $26-million 2026 exploration program is highlighted by a record 50,000-metre diamond drill campaign across its flagship project within the Stewart gold district. Focused on expanding and upgrading high-grade gold resources at the Blueberry contact zone and Scottie gold mine, the program also includes aggressive testing of multiple high-priority targets across the district, including the Bend vein, the C and D zones, the Serac vein and Lakebed area, and the Domino target. The program will also include approximately 2,000 metres of drilling at the Cambria property, marking the first-ever drill campaign on the project.
Combined with development and technical studies, (geotechnical, hydrogeological and condemnation drilling for future development planning, extensive geophysical and remote sensing surveys, and expanded environmental baseline and technical studies, which are now entering their second year), the 2026 season represents a significant catalyst for resource growth and value creation as Scottie continues to unlock the potential of its district-scale gold assets in British Columbia's prolific Golden Triangle.
"We are excited to have our largest exploration program in history now under way," said Dr. Thomas Mumford, president and chief executive officer. "The planned 50,000 metres of drilling represents an increase of more than 50 per cent overall drilling previously completed by the company on the Scottie gold mine project and will play a key role in advancing resource growth and conversion ahead of our planned feasibility study in the first half of 2027. With a strong team in place and a clear strategy for the season, we are well positioned to continue demonstrating the scale and potential of the district. We look forward to providing regular updates as results are received throughout the year."
