Scottie Gold Mine Project unveils $668M potential in British Columbia's Golden Triangle
Scottie Resources is advancing the Scottie Gold Mine Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The company has released a 2025 preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlining a low-impact development plan. The project holds an estimated 703,000 gold ounces with an average grade of 6.1 grams per tonne.
The Scottie Gold Mine Project sits north of Stewart, within the Nass Area, where the Nisga'a Nation holds recognised rights under the Nisga'a Final Agreement. Scottie Resources has maintained ongoing discussions with the Nisga'a Lisims Government and will continue collaboration as the project moves forward.
The PEA proposes a direct ship ore (DSO) approach, avoiding the need for an environmental assessment under provincial or federal law. Initial capital costs are estimated at $128.6 million, with average annual gold production expected to reach around 65,400 ounces over seven years. Financial projections suggest an after-tax net present value (NPV) of between $215.8 million and $668.3 million, depending on gold prices ranging from US$2,600 to US$4,200 per ounce. The company will now progress through British Columbia's permitting process.
The project aims to support responsible resource development while contributing to regional economic activity. With no environmental assessment required, Scottie Resources can focus on advancing the mine through permitting and continued engagement with local stakeholders.
