Scottie Resources Mobilizes Second Drill Rig and Extends Drill Program at Scottie Gold Project in B.C.
VANCOUVER, Aug. 13, 2020 - Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to announce the addition of a second drill rig on its 100% owned Scottie Gold Project. The second drill rig will increase the amount of drilling by 40%, an additional 2,000 metres to the follow up drill campaign. Scottie is now targeting a total of 7,000 metres of drilling during the 2020 summer field season.
President and CEO, Bradley Rourke commented, “With our strong financial position, favourable market conditions and abundance of drill targets, we have decided to increase the metres drilled this summer. The addition of a second drill rig allows us to test new prospective zones and improve the cost efficiency of drilling additional metres given that all the infrastructure and personnel are already in place.”
Scottie’s 2020 drill program will follow up on the Company’s successful drill campaign of the 2019 season, including intercepts of 7.44 g/t gold over 34.78 metres on the Blueberry vein, 11.72 g/t gold over 10.95 metres on the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine M-zone, and 73.32 g/t gold over 4.38 metres on the Bend vein. In addition to the follow-up drilling, the Company will test other prospective targets, including the newly discovery Domino Zone, which has a strike length of 700 metres and a width of 200 metres, and returned grab samples of up to 536 g/t gold.
Scottie has completed a total of 2,220 metres in 10 diamond drill holes since the commencement of drilling on July 9 and are excitedly waiting for assay results. The drill results will be reported in batches as they are received.
