Scottie Resources Launches Record 50,000-Meter Gold Drill Campaign in BC's Golden Triangle

Vancouver, British Columbia – Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR80) has announced the commencement of its most ambitious exploration program to date, a monumental 2026 growth campaign featuring a 50,000-meter drill program at its flagship Scottie Gold Mine Project. This extensive drilling operation, set to run from June through October, underscores the company's commitment to expanding its resource base within the highly prospective Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

The comprehensive 2026 exploration initiative will encompass approximately 52,000 meters of diamond drilling in total. The vast majority, 50,000 meters, will target the core Scottie Gold Mine Project, with an additional 2,000 meters allocated to the nearby Cambria Property. To execute this record-breaking program, Scottie Resources will deploy seven drill rigs, a combination of four skid-mounted and three helicopter-supported units, marking the largest campaign in the company’s history.

Strategic Expansion in a Prolific Region

The Scottie Gold Mine Project, strategically located 35 kilometers north of Stewart in British Columbia's renowned Golden Triangle, is a road-accessible site with a rich history, including a past-producing gold mine. This region is well-known for its significant precious and base metal deposits, attracting considerable investment and exploration activity.

Beyond drilling, the fully integrated campaign will also incorporate extensive geophysical and geochemical surveys. Crucially, the program will continue advancing environmental baseline studies, which are now entering their final year, demonstrating a holistic approach to responsible resource development.

Building on Past Success and Future Potential

The 2026 program is designed to capitalize on Scottie’s most successful drill season to date, achieved in 2025. The company intends to advance priority areas across the project through a strategic blend of resource conversion and expansion drilling. A key focus will be follow-up drilling at the Bend Vein, where previous exploration in 2025 led to a bulk sample that generated approximately $7.5 million in revenue from mining and processing under a Direct-Ship Ore (DSO) scenario. The 2025 program also identified new near-surface mineralization, including the discovery of a new vein, which will be further investigated this year.

A significant component of the project's development concept, as outlined in the company's Preliminary Economic Assessment, is the Blueberry Contact Zone. This zone is earmarked for a large infill and expansion drilling program. The objective is to enhance confidence in the continuity and geometry of the mineralization, thereby supporting a potential expansion of the resource. The development strategy for Blueberry contemplates initial production from a shallow open pit, followed by underground mining, highlighting the long-term vision for the project.

Implications for the Mining Sector

Scottie Resources' substantial investment in this exploration program signals robust confidence in the untapped potential of the Scottie Gold Mine Project. In an era where critical minerals and stable jurisdictions are paramount, Canada's British Columbia continues to attract significant mining investment. Large-scale drilling campaigns like this are vital for delineating economic mineral deposits and moving projects towards production, ultimately contributing to the global supply of precious metals. The focus on both resource expansion and environmental considerations reflects evolving industry standards and the long-term sustainability goals of modern mining operations. This initiative not only promises potential growth for Scottie Resources but also reinforces the Golden Triangle's reputation as a world-class mining district.
