Scottie Resources Commences EM and IP Geophysical Surveys on Scottie Gold Project
VANCOUVER, Sept. 03, 2020 - Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCOT) is pleased to announce that it has commenced (1) a 57 km2 helicopter borne concurrent magnetic and electromagnetic surveys (EM), and (2) two induced polarization (IP) survey grids on its Scottie Gold claims in northern BC’s Golden Triangle.
CEO Bradley Rourke commented “Scottie Resources continues to aggressively explore and develop the Scottie Gold Mine Project. These geophysical surveys will enhance our technical data and understanding for future drill targeting. Drill progress has been better than expected and over 4,500 metres has been completed to date. Drill results will be released upon receipt.”
The EM survey, carried out by Precision GeoSurveys Inc., will comprise approximately 634 line kilometres, with 100-metre line spacing, using a Triumph AirTEM™ time-domain electromagnetic system. Historic multi-frequency EM surveys indicate that the mineralization is conductive due to pyrrhotite which is coincident with the gold mineralization at the Scottie Gold Mine as well as other drill validated targets, including the Blueberry and Bend Veins. By design, the 2020 survey will cover all of the core claims of the Scottie Gold Project, and the new tighter spaced survey will better define and delineate the continuity of mineralization and potentially add additional targets for drill testing.
The ground IP geophysical surveys, to be carried out by Scott Geophysics, a BC-based specialized IP survey contractor, will comprise 12.75 line kilometres, and will be conducted over the Bend and Domino Zones. The grid on the Bend structure will be used to produce a detailed 3D inversion model of the Bend vein and target other high-grade ore shoots along the larger structure. The grid on the Domino zone will be a wider spaced survey used to identify large scale anomalies between the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine and the Domino Zone. The surveys will be used to guide the ongoing 2020 drill program, as well as future drill programs.
Together these geophysical surveys will aid interpretation in conjunction with sampling and geological mapping and will guide exploration in 2020 and beyond.
