Brad Rourke, CEO of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), joins us to review the latest batch of high-grade gold assay results from the largest ever drill program, and a number of key ongoing initiatives and further derisking work building towards an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), with a bulk sample in progress, and an ore sorting study underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

We start off reviewing the next batch of high-grade drill results returned from the ongoing planned 25,000 meters exploration program at the Blueberry Contact Zone.

Highlights:

• Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-370 intersected 7.43 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 18.75 metres (m), including 30.0 g/t gold over 3.3 m at the Lemoffe vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,4).
• Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-369 intersected 37.0 g/t gold over 2.85 m at the Blueberry vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,3).
• Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-365 intersected 9.99 g/t gold over 4.00 m at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2).
• Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-367 intersected 61.9 g/t gold over 1.00 m at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2).

Brad highlights that 4 diamond drill rigs have been turning across the property with 21,000 meters completed thus far at the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine. A key goal is infilling areas with tighter spacing, focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories at the Blueberry Contact Zone. However many of the holes will also go deeper doing some true exploration work with a focus on expanding the potential open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie areas.

Ongoing geotechnical and hydrogeology drilling will also provide data to inform mine design and assist efforts with the recent initiation of Baseline Environmental Studies. With all this exploration and fieldwork now underway, the Company remains on track to deliver a low-capex PEA based on a Direct Shipment Ore (DSO) scenario in October.  Brad reiterates that the management team and board believes this coming economics study will clearly highlight the significant, untapped value of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.  The company then plans to springboard over the Pre-Feasibility Study and head straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS) with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics as the next major economic study to be undertaken.

Next we touched on the ongoing 10,000-tonne surface bulk sampling program where they have been blasting and mucking mineralized material from the road-accessible outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project.  Bulk sample progressing on schedule, where the mucking has now been completed and crushing and transport has commenced down the Granduc road. Brad outlines that this bulk sample will be a nice opportunity to learn more about a number of metrics and provide a nice proof of concept, as well as generating some non-dilutive capital for the Company in the process.

When reviewing their direct-ship ore strategy, Brad highlighted that Scottie has one of the closest gold projects to a deep-sea shipping terminal, which based on its location is positioned in one of North America’s cheapest commercial shipping lanes to Asia. In addition to the ease of a proposed open-pit mine, which already has an existing mine permit, there is also key external infrastructure in place, such as power lines and hauling roads right to site.  Ocean Partners recently participated in a financing for the company this summer, and has expressed interest in the offtake of this material in a development scenario.

Wrapping up we discussed the ongoing Phase 2 ore-sorting study underway, that will be a more advanced Feasibility Study level test of upgrading the ore, with the strategy to reduce the amount of waste rock before shipping.  Ore sorting could significantly enhance the efficiencies of the overall DSO strategy, and those results are due out in Q4.
