Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) has reached a significant milestone at its Scottie Gold Mine project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, confirming the completion of over 10,000 metres of drilling. The company currently has seven drill rigs operational on-site as it executes its largest exploration program to date. This fully funded 50,000-metre campaign is designed to provide the necessary data for resource conversion and to test exploration targets, including the Bend Vein, the C and D Zones, the Serac Vein, and the Domino target.

"Having pushed into camp earlier than any of our previous programs, we are now well into our largest drill program to date" — Dr. Thomas Mumford, President & CEO

The current 2026 exploration effort marks a substantial increase in scale compared to the 27,309 metres completed during the 2025 season. Beyond primary resource definition at the Blueberry Contact Zone and the Scottie Gold Mine, the company is conducting integrated technical programs, including geotechnical and hydrogeological assessments. These initiatives are intended to support future infrastructure planning and de-risk the project as it moves toward the next stage of technical reporting.

"Drilling commenced on the Blueberry Contact Zone, and we are now positioning drills on the Scottie Gold Mine and the Domino target, with assays pending on 47 holes. We look forward to providing regular updates and assay results as they come in."

Investors should note that the company is moving toward a key project milestone in the first half of 2027, when it expects to publish a Feasibility Study alongside an updated Mineral Resource Estimate. The technical teams are currently processing drill cores to manage the backlog of assays from the 47 holes completed so far. This systematic approach aims to upgrade the project's current inferred resource base, which currently stands at 703,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 6.1 g/t.

In tandem with the field activities, the company recently implemented changes to its compensation structure, issuing stock options, Restricted Share Units, and Performance Share Units to directors, officers, and consultants. These equity incentives are part of the company's long-term planning, with performance-based vesting conditions linked to specific corporate milestones. As the 2026 drilling season progresses, the company plans to continue releasing assay results to the market to provide ongoing transparency regarding the progress of its expansion and exploration efforts across its district-scale land package.
