The 2021 drill program has begun! Scottie’s roadside prospect, the Blueberry Zone, is the first target in our 12,500 meter program. In addition to the drill start up, Scottie is pleased to report new assay results from the Blueberry Zone, including a previously unsampled intercept of 6.20 g/t gold over 4.35 metres, which includes 13.9 g/t gold over 1.85 metres. In April 2021, key drill holes from the 2020 season were relogged for interpretation, and shoulder sampling was performed where necessary. The results of the relogging and the shoulder sampling support the presence of a major geological control on mineralization that greatly enhances targeting for the upcoming 2021 drill program.
“We are very pleased to have the first drill on-site and turning! We have a robust exploration program planned that will step out on the three distinct zones we hit on last season. Our first target of the season is the Blueberry Zone, and these new shoulder sample results further solidify our geological model targeting the new discovery…With more than 12,000 m of drilling planned, and ramping up to three drills, we’re in for a busy season.”
President and CEO Brad Rourke
Our 2021 Exploration Program is our biggest yet. With over 12,000 meters of drilling planned, multiple geophysical surveys, and a robust geochemical program, our data driven approach will maximize our exploration window.
Plus, our pending merger with AUX Resources will double our land package to a disctrict scale 50,000 hectares in the prolific Golden Triangle region of British Columbia.
Have a look to see all of the programs we have planned for this season:
About the Blueberry Zone
Part of the Scottie Gold Mine Project, the Blueberry Zone is located just 2 km 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 Scottie Resources involvement. 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 zone off of the main Blueberry Vein.
The drill results received in 2020, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling suggest that this intercept was related to a major north – south mineralizing structure, of which the Blueberry Vein was only a secondary structure. The Blueberry Zone is located on the Granduc Road, 20 km north of the Ascot Resources’ Premier Mill, which has recently completed financing for reactivation (Dec 10, 2020) and is undergoing early stage construction.
About Scottie Resources Corp.
Scottie owns a 100% interest in the high-grade, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine and Bow properties and has the option to purchase a 100% interest in Summit Lake claims which are contiguous with the Scottie Gold Mine property. Scottie also owns 100% interest in the Cambria Project properties and the Sulu property. Scottie Resources holds more than 25,000 ha of mineral claims in the Golden Triangle.
The Company’s focus is on expanding the known mineralization around the past-producing mine while advancing near mine high-grade gold targets, with the purpose of delivering a potential resource.
All of the Company’s properties are located in the area known as the Golden Triangle of British Columbia which is among the world’s most prolific mineralized districts.
