Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V:SCOT) has announced additional assays from the Blueberry Contact zone in its Scottie Gold Mine project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle region, which included intercepts of 34.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 11.9 metres (m) and 4.4 g/t gold over 10.3m.
The company said the drill results extend the strike length of the mineralizing structure to more than 720m and 225m depth, which remains open in all directions.
"With the system remaining open in all directions and at depth, our 2022 program will be focused on significantly increasing the size of the zone by testing aggressive step outs along the structure,” Scottie Resources CEO Brad Rourke said in a statement.

“Advances made by our geological team this summer have generated highly prospective targets from detailed mapping and geophysical surveys that could extend the zone hundreds of metres along strike,” Rourke added.
Scottie noted drilling to-date indicates that the Blueberry Contact zone is developing into a “significant” gold zone with size and grade potential as well as clear vectors to continue its expansion.
It added that more than 15,000m of drilling is planned for the upcoming season.
The Blueberry Contact zone is located north-northeast of the 100% owned past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine.
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. In all, Scottie Resources holds more than 52,000 hectares of mineral claims in the Stewart Mining Camp in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia.
