Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN)
reports initial results from its 2014 drilling program at the 70%-owned Mineral
Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Solberry deposit lies west of the
currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and 600 meters northwest of the
heap leach pad.
Pre-2013 drilling on the Solberry deposit outlined a small shallow resource
based upon a floating cone pit shell (as reported in the Company's August 16,
2013 news release). Follow-up infill drilling was conducted in 2013 within the
mineralized wireframe envelope modelled by Telesto, which extended
east-southeast of the pit shell outline. Drilling in 2014 is targeting the
extension of mineralization into untested ground outside of the current pit
shell outline and southeast toward the Oromonte deposit.
The current resource and pit shell at Solberry appear to be constrained by the
extent of historic drilling rather than any demonstrated termination of the
mineralized trend. The 2014 drill program is designed to potentially expand and
enhance the confidence level of the current resource.
Highlights from initial results of the 2014 drilling program on the Solberry
deposit include:
-- MR14782: 11.62 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 1.52 meters
-- MR14789: 13.82 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
-- MR14792: 9.27 g/t gold over 13.72 meters
-- MR14793: 5.54 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
-- MR14795:.2.01 g/t gold over 10.67 meters
-- MR14796: 4.27 g/t gold over 4.57 meters

All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by reverse circulation (RC)
drilling. True width is estimated at 80-100% of downhole width. Analytical
results were performed by American Assay Laboratory Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, an
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility. External check assays to verify lab
accuracy are routinely completed by ALS Chemex, an ISO 9001:2000 certified and
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility. Further details are presented in the
