Scorpio Gold Reports Results from 2015 Expansion Drilling on the NW Brodie Trend, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada


Vancouver, July 27, 2015 - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SGN) reports results from the 2015 expansion drilling program on the NW Brodie trend at its70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

The 2015 expansion program at Mineral Ridge includes infill, development and exploration drilling to expand and upgrade the current mineral reserve and resource base and potentially extend life of mine.

Exploration drilling in 2015 continues along the NW Brodie trend, a semi-continuous mineralized corridor up to 300 meters wide that extends over a 500 meter strike length between the Brodie and Bluelite deposits. This area lies well outside of currently defined resources and modelled pit outlines. The Company's management believes that results to date are very promising and may potentially allow for building a new resource in this area.

Highlights from this phase of the 2015 drilling program on the NW Brodie trend include:

  • MR151451: 17.07 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 1.50 meters
  • MR151452: 2.44 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151484: 2.91 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151522: 5.89 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151523: 1.09 g/t gold over 12.19 meters
  • MR151562: 1.35 g/t gold over 22.86 meters
  • MR151563: 2.63 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151564: 3.87 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151566: 2.93 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
  • MR151569: 3.28 g/t gold over 6.10 meters


Results presented in Table 1 include two core holes from the 2014 drilling program (MR14981 and MR14991). A drill hole location map is available at: DH Plan

All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling with the exception of core holes, MR14981 and MR14991. True width is estimated at 90-100% 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 Company's quality assurance and quality control program for the Mineral Ridge project available at: MR QAQC.
