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


Vancouver, October 26, 2015 - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SGN) reports additional results from the 2015 expansion drilling program on the NW Brodie trend at its70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

Exploration drilling along the NW Brodie trend in 2015 continues to outline 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 promising and may potentially allow for building a new resource in this area.

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

  • MR151623: 3.81 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151634: 1.11 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151635: 1.04 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
  • MR151636: 1.23 g/t gold over 9.14 meters
  • MR151637: 1.16 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151661: 4.07 g/t gold over 18.29 meters
  • MR151752: 4.87 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151754: 2.54 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151756: 3.98 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
