Scottie Resources Corp.
Scottie Resources Corp. is advancing its 100%-owned Scottie Gold Mine project toward development in BC's Golden Triangle, on a land package of roughly 58,500 hectares within the Stewart Mining Camp. A Tetra Tech-authored Preliminary Economic Assessment (effective 28 Oct 2025) outlined a direct-ship-ore (DSO) base case with after-tax NPV5% of US$215.8-668.3 million across a US$2,600-4,200/oz gold price range, on an Inferred resource of 703,000 oz Au at 6.1 g/t (3.6Mt). The project was determined to fall below Impact Assessment thresholds in early 2026, clearing a path to advance permitting, and a 10,000-tonne bulk sample (generating ~CA$9 million in Dec 2025 proceeds) is underway to gather geotechnical/metallurgical data and assess a low-capex toll-milling path to near-term revenue. The company launched a fully funded ~CA$26 million, 50,000-metre 2026 drill campaign on 16 Jun 2026 -- its largest exploration program to date -- and is targeting a Feasibility Study with an updated resource estimate in H1 2027. Leadership: Dr. Thomas Mumford, President & CEO; Brad Rourke, Executive Chairman (leading the company since 2017); Chris Noon, CFO.

Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.

Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Ocean Partners, a genuine base-metals trading company, holds 13.39% (10,203,988 shares, per Scottie's February 2026 information circular, after a December 2025 top-up); it first took an ~11% cash equity stake alongside a construction loan and offtake agreement. Scottie director Brent Omland is the chief executive of Ocean Partners. Franklin Gold and Precious Metals Fund, a real specialist, holds 4.87% (3,757,033 of 77.18 million shares, per the fund's own SEC Form N-PORT for 31 Jul 2026) -- just under 5%. A September 2026 investor-roundtable summary put Franklin Templeton at 8-9%, which may add Franklin mandates that file no N-PORT; it could not be verified. Two senior officers bought stock on the open market repeatedly within the last year.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
Scottie Resources owns 100% of the Scottie Gold Mine project, about 58,500 hectares in the Stewart mining camp of British Columbia's Golden Triangle. Its resource is entirely inferred, 703,000 oz of gold at 6.1 g/t in 3.6 Mt, with no measured or indicated category yet. The Tetra Tech preliminary economic assessment, effective 28 October 2025, outlines a direct-ship-ore operation with an after-tax NPV5% of US$155.4M (CAD 215.8M) and a 60.3% IRR at US$2,600/oz gold, with initial capital of US$92.6M (CAD 128.6M), a 7-year mine life and an all-in sustaining cost of US$1,452/oz; a toll-milling alternative through the nearby Premier mill shows a higher return. The project was found to fall below Impact Assessment thresholds in early 2026, and a fully financed 2026 drill program of more than 50,000 m, the company's largest, is under way ahead of a feasibility study with an updated resource targeted for the first half of 2027.
