Scottie Resources (TSX-V:SCOT) is launching a ‘major’ drilling campaign at the Scottie Gold Mine Project, comprising 50,000m of diamond drilling to grow understanding of the asset.
The company will conduct infill and expansion drilling at the Blueberry Contact Zone; infill drilling at the Scottie Gold Mine; continued drilling at the Bend Vein; exploration drilling across multiple targets including C and D zones, Serac Vein, and the Lakebed area, as well as Domino and other regional exploration targets.
Scottie will also conduct geotechnical, hydrogeological, and condemnation drilling to support infrastructure and future development planning; geophysical and remote sensing programs; and expanded environmental baseline and technical studies across the project.
Geophysical and remote sensing programs will include a 107-hectare 3D distributed-array induced polarisation survey and a 7 line-kilometre magnetotelluric survey.
From the total 50,000m of drilling, 2,000m will be delegated to conducting the first-ever drilling campaign at the Cambria Property.
The entirety of the exploration program is fully financed for C$26 million ($26.39 million).
CEO Thomas Mumford says the company’s growing confidence in the potential of the Scottie Gold Mine Project is reflected by the scale and scope of the 2026 exploration program.
“Following our strongest drill season to date, we are aggressively advancing both resource growth and development initiatives across the district,” Mumford says.
“With a fully funded program and drilling planned across several high-priority targets, we believe 2026 has the potential to be a transformational year for Scottie as we move toward a Feasibility Study.”
Scottie Resources is a gold-focused Canadian explorer and developer that wholly owns the Scottie Gold Mine Property.
