Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V:SCOT) announced drill results from its Blueberry Zone in British Columbia, which included 4.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 11.9 meters (m) as well as 12.0 g/t gold over 6.1m in a 100m step-out from the nearest intercept on the structure.
The company said the new intercepts extend the strike of the zone 100m to the south.
“These remarkable results show the size and strength of the gold system present at our Blueberry Zone, and further support our geological model,” Scottie Resources CEO Brad Rourke said in a statement.

“Simultaneously, we have shown that high-grade gold continues at depth in significant step-outs that test the continuity of the overall structure,” Rourke added.
Scottie Resources noted the structure has now been drill tested over 650m in strike-length.
As well, the company said more than 3,000m of results from this year’s drilling are still waiting to be reported.
The Blueberry Zone is located on the Granduc Road, 2 kilometers (km) north-northeast of the past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine, 35 km north of the town of Stewart, British Columbia.
Scottie Resources 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. It also owns 100% interest in the Georgia Project, which contains the high-grade past-producing Georgia River Mine, as well as the Cambria Project properties and the Sulu property. Altogether Scottie Resources holds more than 52,000 hectares of mineral claims in the Stewart Mining Camp in the Golden Triangle.
The company’s focus is on expanding the known mineralization around the past-producing mines while advancing near mine high-grade gold targets, with the purpose of delivering a potential resource. All of its properties are located in the area known as the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, which is among the world’s most prolific mineralized districts.
