Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 23, 2025) – Scottie Resources Corp. (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE: SR8) (“Scottie” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2025 drill program totaling 27,309 metres, successfully testing priority targets across the Blueberry Contact Zone within the Scottie Gold Mine Project, located in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle.
The 2025 program focused on upgrading and expanding the existing resource at the Scottie Gold Mine Project. Further assays from this program are pending and will be reported as received over the coming weeks.
The Company is also very pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Brent Omland, Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Partners Holdings Limited (“Ocean Partners”), to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Ocean Partners, a leading international base and precious metals trading and investment group headquartered in the United Kingdom, recently acquired a 10.6% equity stake in Scottie and has committed to a US$25 million Construction and Cost-Overrun Facility in support of the Company’s proposed Direct-Ship-Ore (DSO) Project at the Scottie Gold Mine.

ABOUT SCOTTIE RESOURCES CORP.
Scottie Resources holds 100% interest in the Scottie Gold Mine Property, which includes the high-grade, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine and the adjacent Blueberry Contact Zone. The Company also owns a 100% interest in the Georgia Project, host to the past-producing Georgia River Mine, as well as the Cambria, Sulu, and Tide North properties. In total, Scottie controls approximately 58,500 hectares of highly prospective mineral claims within the Stewart Mining Camp in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle-one of the world’s most prolific mineralized districts.
Scottie’s current resource estimate on the Scottie Gold Mine Project includes a total of 703,000 gold ounces at an average grade of 6.1 g/t (Inferred category), highlighting the potential for a significant near-surface, high-grade deposit. The Company’s strategy is to continue expanding this resource and to define additional mineralization around past-producing mines through systematic drilling and surface exploration.
In parallel, Scottie is evaluating a potential Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) scenario at the Scottie Gold Mine. With permits in hand, a 10,000-tonne bulk sample is underway. This initiative provides an opportunity to collect key geotechnical and metallurgical data while assessing a low-capex path to potential near-term revenue through toll milling or third-party processing. This DSO concept does not imply a production decision but reflects the optionality embedded in Scottie’s portfolio.
