Scottie Resources Corp. reported its first assay results from the 2026 drill program at the Scottie Gold Mine Project in British Columbia, highlighted by an intersection of 9.7 grams per tonne gold over 18.00 metres at the Lemoffe vein zone within the Blueberry Contact Zone.

Drillhole SR26-492 returned a higher-grade interval of 40.4 grams per tonne gold over 2.00 metres at Lemoffe vein 2, including a 1.00-metre section grading 78.5 grams per tonne gold. Additional highlights include drillhole SR26-489, which intersected 26.2 grams per tonne gold over 2.45 metres at the Lemoffe vein zone, and drillhole SR26-490, which intercepted 14.6 grams per tonne gold over 2.45 metres at the Blueberry vein zone. The true width of the intervals has not yet been established.

The 2026 campaign is targeting 52,000 to 56,000 total metres to upgrade inferred ounces to indicated, expand known veins, and test new targets. Scottie has completed over 40,000 metres of drilling in 160 holes, with eight diamond rigs currently turning—seven on the Scottie Gold Mine Project and one on the Cambria Project. Operating efficiencies and drilling costs tracking below budget mean the company now expects to complete 12,000 to 16,000 additional metres within its existing budget.

"We are very encouraged by the first results from our 2026 drill program, which provide an excellent start to what is shaping up to be an exciting exploration season," commented Dr. Thomas Mumford, President and CEO.

"Importantly, the drill program is performing exceptionally well operationally, with drilling costs tracking below budget, exceeding our initial expectations."

Located 35 kilometres north of Stewart in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, Scottie controls approximately 58,500 hectares of mineral claims. The project's published Mineral Resource Estimate outlines an inferred resource of 3.6 million tonnes grading 6.1 grams per tonne gold for a total of 703,000 ounces. That resource does not yet incorporate 27,000 metres of diamond drilling completed in summer 2025 or the active 2026 campaign. Pending assay results will be reported throughout the remainder of the year as received, with accumulated data to be incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate scheduled for release in the first half of 2027 concurrently with a Feasibility Study.
