Scorpio Gold Updates Expansion Drilling at the Brodie Satellite Deposit, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada

13.11.2013  |  Marketwire

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2013) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports additional results from its 2013 satellite deposit drilling program at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Brodie deposit lies southwest of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and is immediately adjacent to the leach pad.

The 2013 satellite drilling program is designed to upgrade and potentially increase the mineral resource estimate completed by Telesto Nevada Inc. ("Telesto") for a number of satellite deposits including Brodie and was reported in the Company's August 16, 2013 news release. As of June 1, 2013, the Inferred mineral resource estimate for the satellite deposits totalled 513,000 tons grading 0.078 ounces per ton (opt) gold totalling 40,200 contained ounces gold. The Brodie deposit was estimated to contain 158,000 tons grading 0.083 opt gold for 13,100 contained ounces gold, or approximately 32.5% of the total Inferred mineral resource for the four satellite deposits.

The drilling program continues to meet with success, returning significant intercepts both within and extending outside of the floating cone pit shells modelled by Telesto, and continuing to extend the mineralized trend northwest toward the Bluelite deposit. Results of the first phase of expansion drilling on the Brodie deposit were reported in the Company's August 7, 2013 news release. Highlights from the second phase of expansion drilling at Brodie include:

MR13651: 4.05 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 3.05 meters
MR13653: 3.32 g/t over 7.62 meters
MR13656: 2.48 g/t over 12.19 meters
MR13660: 1.65 g/t over 7.62 meters
