Scottie Resources (TSX-V:SCOT) is progressing the Scottie Gold Mine in British Columbia, Canada, through the established provincial permitting process toward a joint major mine permit application.
This is the result of the Scottie Gold Mine not requiring an environmental assessment under the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act or the Canadian Impact Assessment Act, as described in the 2025 preliminary economic assessment (PEA).
CEO Thomas Mumford says this determination that the project is below the thresholds for formal environmental assessment allows the company to advance toward permitting and development.
“It reflects the strength of our technical work and environmental baseline programs and underscores our commitment to responsible project delivery in partnership with regulators, Indigenous nations and local communities,” Mumford says.
Scottie’s 2025 PEA outlines a low-impact direct ship ore development scenario supported by ore sorting and existing regional infrastructure, providing a capital-efficient pathway to advance potential production while minimising surface disturbance.
The company is continuing to advance environmental baseline studies, technical design and stakeholder engagement to support submission of its major mine permit application.
The Scottie Gold Mine Project is located north of Stewart, British Columbia, in the Golden Triangle.
Scottie believes that advancing the mine through a coordinated permitting approach reflects its commitment to responsible development and aligns with British Columbia’s strategic priorities.
