Scottie Commences 2025 Drilling Program to Expand and Further De-Risk Existing Resources to Inform PEA
Scottie Resources (OTCQB: SCTSF) has launched its 2025 drilling program at the flagship Scottie Gold Mine Project, located 35 kilometers north of Stewart, British Columbia. The program features three active diamond drill rigs focusing on resource expansion and upgrade at the Blueberry Contact Zone and Scottie Gold Mine.
Key initiatives include step-out drilling at the Wolf Zone (which previously yielded 6.85 g/t gold over 5.85m), geotechnical studies, and baseline environmental assessments. The company aims to deliver a low-capex Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on a Direct Shipment Ore scenario by October 2025, supported by comprehensive technical field studies including environmental baseline studies conducted by Nisga'a Growth Corporation-partnered SLR.
Scottie Resources (OTCQB: SCTSF) ha avviato il programma di perforazione 2025 presso il progetto principale Scottie Gold Mine, situato a 35 chilometri a nord di Stewart, British Columbia. Il programma prevede tre trapani diamantati attivi focalizzati sull'espansione e l'aggiornamento delle risorse nella Blueberry Contact Zone e nella Scottie Gold Mine.
Le iniziative principali includono perforazioni di estensione nella Wolf Zone (che in precedenza ha prodotto 6,85 g/t di oro su 5,85 m), studi geotecnici e valutazioni ambientali di base. L'azienda punta a presentare una Valutazione Economica Preliminare (PEA) a basso capitale su uno scenario di spedizione diretta del minerale entro ottobre 2025, supportata da studi tecnici sul campo completi, inclusi studi ambientali di base condotti dalla SLR in collaborazione con Nisga'a Growth Corporation.

Wichtige Maßnahmen umfassen Erweiterungsbohrungen in der Wolf Zone (die zuvor 6,85 g/t Gold über 5,85 m ergab), geotechnische Studien und Umweltgrundlagenbewertungen. Das Unternehmen strebt an, bis Oktober 2025 eine niedrigkapitalintensive vorläufige Wirtschaftlichkeitsstudie (PEA) für ein Direktversand-Erz-Szenario vorzulegen, unterstützt durch umfassende technische Feldstudien einschließlich Umweltgrundlagenuntersuchungen, die in Partnerschaft mit der Nisga'a Growth Corporation durch SLR durchgeführt werden.
- Comprehensive drilling program with three active diamond drill rigs
- Previous promising results from Wolf Zone showing 6.85 g/t gold over 5.85m
- Strategic focus on resource upgrade from inferred to indicated category
- Progress toward low-capex PEA scheduled for October 2025
- Initiation of key technical and environmental studies to support mine development

- Additional technical studies and assessments needed before development
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR80) ("Scottie" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling is now underway at its flagship Scottie Gold Mine Project, with three diamond drill rigs currently active on site. The Project-which encompasses the
Drill Program Highlights:
Resource Upgrade (inferred to indicated) and Expansionary drilling of the Blueberry Contact Zone
- Focus on the open pit and upper portions of the underground resource
- Detailed testing of the siltstone side of the contact zone, a high-probability target that would add ounces to the current pit shell and underground stope shapes
Scottie Gold Mine
- Step-out drilling on the Wolf Zone target discovered in 2024 (including intercept of 6.85 g/t gold over 5.85 m; see NR dated December 12, 2024)
- Continued drilling of the Scottie Gold Mine P-Zone
Geotechnical and Hydrogeology drill holes to support ongoing mine design studies
"Scottie has launched a focused and ambitious field program aimed at accelerating the advancement of the Project," said Brad Rouke, CEO of Scottie Resources. "Our winter desktop work identified key development milestones, and this summer's activities are strategically designed to address those critical path items. Drilling remains a cornerstone of the program-both to expand and de-risk the resource, and to gather essential technical data to inform mine design. With fieldwork now underway, we are on track to deliver a low-capex Preliminary Economic Assessment on a Direct Shipment Ore scenario in October, which we believe will clearly highlight the significant, untapped value of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.
Additional Technical Field Studies
In conjunction with the initiation of the drilling program, Scottie has also commenced work on several technical studies, including:
- Initiation of Baseline Environmental Studies
- Geotechnical characterization of the mineralization and host rocks
- Avalanche assessment and mitigation studies
Baseline Environmental Studies
As previously reported (see NR date July 15, 2025), Scottie has initiated Baseline Environmental Studies to support a planned mine permit amendment process. The work includes archaeological, aquatics, terrestrial, hydrogeological, and geochemical data collection, and will be completed by led by Nisga'a Growth Corporation-partnered SLR.
Geotechnical Studies
To support the mine design and engineering, geotechnical studies have been initiated to assess the characteristics of the rocks, including the drilling of purpose designed holes to assess pit slope stability. The testing will inform pit design, underground mining methods, and stope optimization for use in the upcoming PEA.
