Scorpio Gold Reports Results from 2014 Expansion Drilling at the Wedge Satellite Deposit, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada

08.07.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2014) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports results from its 2014 satellite deposit drilling program at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Wedge deposit lies west of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and immediately north of the leach pad.

The 2014 satellite drilling program is a continuation of 2013 program and is designed to upgrade and potentially increase the mineral resource estimate completed by Telesto Nevada Inc. ("Telesto") for a number of satellite deposits, including Wedge, which was reported in the Company's August 16, 2013 news release. Drilling on the Wedge deposit continues to meet with success, returning significant intercepts at shallow depths both within and extending outside of the floating cone pit shell modelled by Telesto.

Highlights from the 2014 RC drilling on the Wedge deposit include:

  • MR14913: 8.82 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR14914: 2.26 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
  • MR14915: 2.21 g/t gold over 3.05 meters

All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling. 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.
