Scottie Resources Corp. reported the first assays from its 2023 drill program targeting the Blueberry Contact Zone, including intercepts of 56.4 g/t gold over 3.7 metres and 12.1 g/t gold over 3 metres. These results are the first returned from the 20,000 metre drill campaign currently in progress.

The Blueberry Contact Zone is located 2 kilometres north-northeast of the 100% owned and royalty free, past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine, 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, BC, along the Granduc Road. This drilling campaign continues to focus on expansionary drilling of the Blueberry Contact Zone, extending mineralization at depth and along strike. These results support the continued delineation of the Blueberry Deposit and the identification of high-grade structures within it.

The company is currently finishing up drilling its 20,000 metre 2023 diamond drill program and will continue to release the assay results throughout the fall /early winter. Recent modelling work has identified and categorized a number of significant sulphide-rich cross structures that cut obliquely across the north-south trending Blueberry Contact Zone. These structures appear parallel to the original Blueberry Vein, as well as other prominent outcropping, mineralized structures in the area (e.g. Bend Vein).

The density of the number of identified veins has increased over the previous seasons due to improved drill density and extent, and already new vein zones have been proposed for the southern end of the Blueberry Contact Zone structure based on preliminary observations from this year's drilling. The drilling of the southern end of the Blue Blueberry Contact Zone (Serac vein area) has identified structures that have notable increases in both silver and zinc relative to other Blueberry Contact Zone drilling. In 2022 the southernmost hole drilled on the structure returned 7.1 g/t gold, 113 g/t silver, and 0.85 % zinc over 6.09 m. Drill hole SR23-234 from this release intercepted a similar intercept with 1.22 g/t gold, 356 g/t silver, and 1.36 % zinc over 6.7 m. Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy road access, the Blueberry Vein had only limited reported drilling prior to the Company's exploration work.

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 hole SR23-234, and 1.36 % copper over 6.7 m.
