(CSE: SCV) (FSE: 7S2) (OTC Pink: SCVFF) (the "Company") ("Scotch Creek" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the second drill hole on the Companies 100% owned Macallan East Project ("Macallan") for a total depth of 1107 feet. The Macallan East project is located on the South-Southeast Trend of the Clayton Valley and looks to extend along a world-class rich lithium claystone belt. Thirty-three segments of core samples were taken for analysis to greater understand the geological and geochemical characteristics of a thick section of volcanic ash-rich evaporative lake-bed sediments intersected at Macallan.

Mr. Robert P. Marvin, Scotch Creek's P. Geo. and director, commented "We are extremely pleased with how swiftly this drill program progressed. The geological logging results from the drilling of hole MCD-2 are very encouraging, with two clear lacustrine evaporative basin zones being intersected. Ash-rich mudstones, siltstones and claystone were logged from 500 to 620 feet downhole. Deeper down, thick sections of altered volcanic ash were intersected between 750 and 1045 feet downhole. Green and black claystones occur in this lower ash-rich section."
