Scottie Resources (TSX-V:SCOT) President and CEO Thomas Mumford says the company is conducting its “largest exploration program in history” at the Scottie Gold Mine in Canada.
A fully funded C$26 million ($26.3 million) exploration program for 2026 is underway, comprising a 50,000m diamond drilling campaign.
The drill program is focused on expanding and upgrading gold resources at the Blueberry Contact Zone and Scottie Mine. It will also include testing of multiple high-priority targets across the district, including the Bend Vein, the C and D zones, the Serac Vein and Lakebed area, and the Domino target.
Up to 2,000m of drilling will also be carried out at the Cambria property, marking the first drill program on the project.
Mumford adds that the campaign represents an increase of more than 50% above the total drilling previously completed by the company at the Scottie Gold Mine and will play a key role in advancing resource growth and conversion ahead of a Feasibility Study in H1 2027.
“With a strong team in place and a clear strategy for the season, we are well-positioned to continue demonstrating the scale and potential of the district,” the CEO says.
Combined with ongoing development and technical studies, the 2026 season represents a ‘significant’ catalyst for Scottie’s resource growth.
The Scottie Gold Mine is a past-producing asset located adjacent to the Blueberry Contact Zone. Scottie contains an inferred resource of 3.6 million tonnes @ 6.1 grams per tonne gold for 703,000 ounces.
Scottie Resources is a gold-focused explorer and developer controlling 58,500 hectares of highly prospective mineral claims in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
