Scorpio Gold Drilling Intersects 7.62 metres grading 2.67 g/t Gold on the Mary LC Zone, Mineral Ridge Project

News - Monday, July 30, 2012

Vancouver, July 30, 2012 - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SGN) announces additional drill results from its 2012 drilling program on the Mary LC Zone, located adjacent to the Mary pit which is currently undergoing pre-stripping in advance of commencing full-scale open pit production at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, Nevada. Production from the Mary pit will add to and supplement current production from the Drinkwater pit.

Peter J. Hawley, President, CEO reports; "Results from the current drilling program continue to support modification of the Mary pit design and extending the pit wall from its current planned location, which is based on drilling up to the end of 2011, to the southwest to include the continuation of mineralization into the Mary LC Zone."

Scorpio Gold's exploration work to date has determined that the Drinkwater, Mary and Mary LC zones represent one continuous zone of mineralization, with the LC area being the least defined to date. The results presented in Table 1 are from infill and step out holes to historical drilling on the Mary LC zone by previous operators. A drill hole plan is available on the Company's website: View Map.
