The Blueberry Zone is located two kilometres northeast of the past producing Scottie Gold Mine in BC’s Golden Triangle. In 2020, shoulder sampling from the zone indicated grades of 6.2 g/t gold over 4.35 metres, including 13.9 g/t gold over 1.85 metres.

The newly expanded Blueberry Zone will be a primary focus during the 2021 drill program, including step outs along strike and additional drilling to build on the 2019 and 2020 drill programs.

Bradley Rourke, president and CEO of Scottie Resources, commented on the commencement of drilling and the Blueberry Zone results.

“We are very pleased to have the first drill on-site and turning! We have a robust exploration program planned that will step out on the three distinct zones we hit on last season,” he said.

“Our first target of the season is the Blueberry Zone,” he added, “and these new shoulder sample results further solidify our geological model targeting the new discovery.”

The drill program is designed to advance multiple targets, including the Blueberry, Scottie Gold Mine “O”, and Domino zones.

“With more than 12,000 m of drilling planned, and ramping up to three drills, we’re in for a busy season,” remarked Mr. Rourke.

Scottie Resources is a gold and silver exploration company with properties located in the Golden Triangle area of British Columbia.
