Scottie Resources Intersects 7.44 g/t Gold over 34.78 Metres on Blueberry Vein, Bow Property in the Golden Triangle

 

 

 

 

 

Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V: SCOT) is pleased to report recent drilling success from the Blueberry Vein on the Bow Property. Results from drill hole SR19-20 include 7.44 g/t gold and 1.29 g/t silver over 34.78 m, which includes 14.29 g/t gold over 14.00 m. During September, the Company completed 630.2 metres of diamond drilling on the Blueberry Vein within the Bow Property, which is located just 2 km NE of the 100% owned, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine located in the “Golden Triangle” area of British Columbia, Canada.

*not true width, most intervals are estimated to be 80-90% of true width

 

Thomas Mumford, the Company’s VP, Exploration commented: “The high-grade intersection in SR19-20 opens up a lot of potential for the Blueberry Vein system. The location of the intercept suggests that we may have pierced a new zone, a potential splay off of the surficial exposure of the Blueberry Vein. As this was our last hole of the 2019 season, the zone remains completely open to the north, and at depth. This will be a priority drill target to follow up early in the 2020 field season.”

 

Blueberry Vein

Historic trenching and channel sampling of the Blueberry Vein include results of 223.50 g/t over 1.90 metres, and 114.02 g/t gold over 1.43 metres. Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy road access, the Blueberry Vein has only limited reported drilling. The last drill program with documentation was in 1985 and consisted of just 5 drill holes; the best intercept was 26.56 g/t gold and 21.3 g/t silver over 1.59 metres.

 

2019 Drilling Summary

Drilling during 2019 confirmed grades from the previous exploration programs, as well as increasing the known extent of mineralization. Results from SR19-20 demonstrate that significant intervals of high-grade mineralization are present within the Blueberry Vein structure, and that they are wider and extend deeper than previously tested. The location of the intercept in SR19-20 suggests that there may be a significant splay off of the Blueberry vein, this will be tested with future drilling.

The Blueberry Vein is a moderately dipping, SW striking, chlorite-rich pyrrhotite-pyrite vein; on surface the vein ranges from 0.2 – 2.0 m in width. The vein is hosted in andesitic volcanics and siltstones of the Unuk River Formation of the Hazelton Group, and is situated in a minor shear with a small displacement. Bounding narrow shears within the hanging wall and footwall of the vein locally control the thickness of the vein, forming rolls in the vein. The orientation of these rolls is typically moderate plunging and trending to the southwest.

 

The Bow property is road accessible from the town of Stewart, BC, and is subject to a 3% net smelter return, of which the Company can purchase 2% for $600,000 at any time.

 

Quality Assurance and Control

 

Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO 9001:2008 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of 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 (+10 g/t Au).

 

Thomas Mumford, Ph.D., P.Geo and VP Exploration of Scottie, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical information contained in this news release on behalf of the Company.
