Scorpio Gold Intersects 1.12 g/t Gold over 36.58 meters on the NW Brodie Trend, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada


Vancouver, November 24, 2014 - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SGN) reports additional results from its 2014 exploration drilling program on the NW Brodie trend at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. 

The NW Brodie trend is a semi-continuous mineralized corridor that extends west and northwest of the Brodie deposit toward the Bluelite deposit. Drilling to date has partly tested the corridor over a 200 meter width and 450 meter strike length. The NW Brodie trend remains completely open to the west and for 300 meters of strike length northwest to the Bluelite deposit. Significant intercepts have been reported in multiple horizons and in some places over broad widths, further supporting drill results reported in the Company's October 22, 2014 news release. A map highlighting the drill results over a select area of the NW Brodie trend is available at: DH & Assay Plan.

The NW Brodie trend lies well outside of currently defined resources at Mineral Ridge and existing modelled pit outlines. Management believes that results to date are very positive and may potentially allow for defining a new resource in this area. 

Peter J. Hawley, CEO, comments, "Drilling on the NW Brodie trend continues to return very impressive results and is defining multiple stacked mineralized lenses from surface to 100 meters depth. We have an opportunity to potentially outline a significant resource in an area that until this year was held under a privately held patented mineral claim. The claim has been unexplored for over 100 years. We are the first to drill test the area and it looks very promising."

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

  • MR141141: 1.12 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 36.58 meters
  • MR141143: 0.94 g/t gold over 24.38 meters
  • MR141145: 1.65 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR141152: 1.20 g/t gold over 19.81 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.
