Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V:SCOT) has reported encouraging new drill results from the Blueberry zone on its Scottie Gold Mine project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
Highlights from the results include intercepts of 15.6 grams per ton (g/t) gold over 2.25 metres and 3.21 g/t gold over 10 metres.
Vancouver-based Scottie told shareholders that the Blueberry Zone has become “one of the most significant areas of deposit growth on the property” and has more than quadrupled its strike length in the past nine months.

Blueberry’s strike length now exceeds 650 metres, according to the company.
"Blueberry continues to deliver consistent results with these near surface hits, illustrating the grade continuity of the primary structure," CEO Brad Rourke said in a statement.
"We believe that this expanding zone could be a major production centre for the area. The untested potential of the andesite–siltstone contact leaves tremendous upside as it remains open at depth and along strike where our geologists have mapped it hundreds of additional metres to the south before it becomes hidden beneath the overlying historic lakebed sediments."
Scottie conducted a 14,500-metre drill program during the 2021 season.
Blueberry is located north-northeast of the past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine, 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, BC.
