Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX-V:SCOT) has announced assay results from its 100% owned Blueberry Contact Zone in British Columbia, which included 7.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 24.6 metres (m) that extends the depth of the zone an additional 135m.
The gold projects developer said the mineralized structure has now been drill tested to 360m in depth.
“Our 2022 program remains in full swing, with three diamond drill skid-rigs continuing to test the Blueberry Contact Zone,” Scottie Resources CEO Brad Rourke said in a statement.

“With such positive early season drill results and supporting visuals from recently drilled holes we have decided to increase the size of the program to 16,500 metres of drilling to test additional expansion targets along the contact,” Rourke added.
Scottie Resources noted the Blueberry Zone is located just two kilometres northeast of its 100% owned, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine located in British Columbia's Golden Triangle region.
It added that historic trenching and channel sampling of the Blueberry Vein included results of 103.9 g/t gold over 1.4 metres and 203.8 g/t gold over 1.9 metres.
The target was significantly advanced during Scottie's 2019 drill program when an interval grading 7.4 g/t gold over 34.8 metres was intersected in a new splay off zone of the main Blueberry Vein, according to the company.
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.
