Scottie Resources (TSX-V:SCOT) has reported further ‘high-grade’ gold intersections within and beyond the proposed mine plan at its Blueberry Contact Zone in British Columbia, Canada.
At Lemoffe 4, hole SR26-539 returned 21.20m @ 6 grams per tonne gold (Au), including 3.35m @ 18.90g/t Au.
Hole SR26-513 intersected 8m @ 14.40g/t Au at Lemoffe 1, including 3.75m @ 24.10g/t Au. Both intersections sit within the mine plan outlined in Scottie’s 2025 preliminary economic assessment.
President and CEO Thomas Mumford says the Lemoffe results support the existing design and potential conversion of inferred resources ahead of the Feasibility Study.
“These latest results demonstrate the strong combination of grade, width and continuity at Lemoffe, reinforcing confidence in the existing mine plan and supporting conversion of inferred resources ahead of the Feasibility Study,” Mumford says.
Drilling points beyond current design
At Blueberry 5, hole SR26-495 returned 9m @ 9.80g/t Au, including 1m @ 62.80g/t Au.
Drilling at Fifi 2 also extended mineralisation beyond previous intersections, with SR26-499 returning 3.65m @ 11.70g/t Au approximately 35m from the nearest earlier result.
Reported intervals are core lengths, with estimated true widths ranging from 70–100%.
Scottie completed 61,578m across 227 holes during its 2026 campaign, with most assays still pending. The results will inform an updated mineral resource estimate and Feasibility Study targeted for the first half of 2027.
The current estimate contains 703,000 inferred ounces and excludes approximately 87,000m drilled during 2025 and 2026.
The assays build on Scottie’s recent discovery of a potential near-surface vein at Blueberry.
Scottie Resources is a Canadian gold explorer and developer advancing projects across approximately 58,500 hectares in British Columbia’s Stewart Mining Camp.
