Scottie Resources Continues to Hit High-Grade Gold at Blueberry Contact Zone Including 30.42 g/t Gold over 5.60 Metres and 9.67 g/t Gold over 8.85 Metres
Scottie Resources delivers high-grade continuity as Direct-Ship strategy gains momentum.
The most recent news (February 10, 2026) reports high-grade gold assay results from the 2025 drilling program at the Blueberry Contact Zone within the Scottie Gold Mine Project in British Columbia. Key intercepts include 30.42 g/t gold over 5.60 metres and 9.67 g/t gold over 8.85 metres. These results are part of the ongoing effort to define and expand the resource used in the recently filed Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). The release emphasizes improving continuity across wide, high-grade structures, which is critical for the proposed underground mine plan.
The impact is material and positive for the following reasons: - Resource Validation: The intercepts (30.42 g/t and 44.31 g/t in different holes) are significantly higher than the average inferred grade of 6.1 g/t gold, suggesting potential for grade improvement in future resource updates. - Continuity: Management notes "improving continuity," which addresses a primary risk in narrow-vein high-grade deposits where mineralization can be erratic. - PEA Support: These results target zones intended for the early years of the underground mine plan. Validating these zones de-risks the first phase of the project’s economics. - Strategic Execution: This news follows a string of high-grade releases (Feb 3, Jan 28, Jan 22, Jan 15) that collectively build a case for a robust, high-grade system capable of supporting the Direct-Ship Ore (DSO) model.
Scottie Resources Corp. is focused on the Scottie Gold Mine Project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. - Flagship Project: The Scottie Gold Mine Project, which includes the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine and the newer Blueberry Contact Zone discovery. - Strategy: The company is pursuing a Direct-Ship Ore (DSO) model, which involves crushing and sorting ore at the site to produce a high-grade concentrate for Asian smelters, bypassing the need for an on-site mill or tailings facility. - Economics: The 2025 PEA outlines an after-tax NPV(5%) of $215.8M and an IRR of 60.3% at US$2600 gold, with a low initial capital cost of $128.6M.
