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

Posted on by

          Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V: SCOT) is pleased to report 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 …

Highlights from 7,800 metre diamond hole (35-151 metres) Resource Conversion Drill Program: • Hole C23-265: 2.47 g/t gold equivalent over 85 metres from surface to end of hole. • Hole C23-302: 1.75 g/t gold equivalent over 113 metres from 2 metres to end of hole. • Hole C23-317: 1.86 g/t gold equivalent over 96 metres from surface to end of hole. • Highest gold assay ever on the project in hole C23-253, 2 metres from 40 to 42 metres grading 580 g/t Au. Lumina Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LUM) (OTCQX: LMGDF) is pleased to announce results from the 2023 Phase 1 mining resource conversion drilling campaign in support of the ongoing Feasibility Study at its Cangrejos Project in Ecuador. Resource drilling comprised part of a larger drill campaign at the Cangrejos and Gran Bestia deposits which also included, metallurgical samples and geotechnical holes with subsequent hydrogeological testing in support of pit slope design. The 2023 drill program at the Project is summarized below in Table 1. Marshall Koval, CEO and Director commented: “The completion of this drilling supports several key programs of the Feasibility Study. Work on the revised resource estimate, pit slope design metallurgical testing including High-Pressure Grinding Roll testing are now all underway. The assays from the resource infill program continue to demonstrate the exceptional continuity of grade at Cangrejos and are in line with expectations from previous drilling and studies.” Table 1: 2023 Drill Program Summary Resource Conversion Pit Slope Geotechnical Metallurgical Twin Holes Hydrogeological Pump Testing Totals Cangrejos Total # of holes 91 10 9 6 116 Total metreage 7,786 3,729 1,668 215 13,399 Shallowest hole (m) 35 180 56 27 Deepest Hole (m) 151 600 290 69 Gran Bestia Total # of holes n/a 10 7 n/a 17 Total metreage n/a 4,142 1,397 n/a 5,539 Shallowest hole (m) n/a 150 100 n/a Deepest Hole (m) n/a 663 265 n/a Overall Total # of holes 91 20 16 6 133 Total metreage 7,786 7,871 3,065 215 18,938 Cangrejos Drill-Hole Results Highlights of the 2023 Project resource conversion program are provided in Table 2, and the corresponding intercepts are highlighted in Figures 1 and 2.

Intervals in the reported holes are calculated using a cut-off of 0.2 g/t Au with maximum internal dilution of ten continuous metres. A 70g/t Au top cut was applied for the interval noted in the comments section. Sampling is done in consistent, continuous 2-metre intervals. Values assume 100% recovery of all quoted metals and the following prices were used to calculate Au Eq.: a gold price of US$1,500 per ounce, a copper price of US$3.00 per pound, a molybdenum price of US$7.00 per pound and a silver price of US$18.00 per ounce. Lumina Gold received the highest drill assay ever returned from the project in hole C23-253, where a 2-metre intercept from 40 to 42 metres graded 580 g/t Au, see Figure 1. Lumina is operating normally at the Project. The Company’s activities have not been affected by the recent civil disturbances that have impacted other areas in Ecuador. Quality Assurance All Lumina sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control / quality assurance program that includes the insertion of blind standards, blanks and pulp and reject duplicate samples. Logging and sampling are completed at Lumina’s secure facility located at the Project. Drill core is sawn in half on site and half drill-core samples are securely transported to ALS Labs’ sample preparation facilities in Quito, Ecuador. Sample pulps are sent to ALS’ chemical labs in Lima, Peru for analysis. Gold content is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with total copper content determined by four-acid digestion with ICP finish. The lab is independent from Lumina. Lumina is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein. Qualified Person Leo Hathaway, P.Geo., Senior Vice President of Lumina and the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for the Project has reviewed, verified, and approved the contents of this news release and has verified the data underlying the contents of this news release by review and supervision of, but not limited to, drilling procedures, chain of custody of core and samples, logging and sampling procedures and insertion of blind standards, blanks and pulp duplicates into the sample stream and running of check samples with an umpire laboratory; such that no limitations are known that would prohibit it being suitable for resource estimation.

otherwise stated in the comments. Intervals in the reported holes are calculated using a cut-off of 0.2 g/t Au with maximum internal dilution of ten continuous metres. A top-cut of 70 g/t Au was applied to one sample as noted in comments. Sampling is done in consistent, continuous 2-metre intervals. Values assume 100% recovery of all quoted metals and the following prices were used: a gold price of US$1,500 per ounce, a copper price of US$3.00 per pound, a molybdenum price of US$7.00 per pound and a silver price of US$18.00 per ounce.
