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

11.08.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 11, 2014) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports additional results from its 2014 satellite deposit drilling program at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Bluelite deposit lies west of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary/LC pits and 400 meters northwest of the leach pad.

On July 21, 2014, the Company reported an updated Life of Mine Plan ("LOM") for the Mineral Ridge Operation, which encompasses the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary/LC pits and five adjacent satellite deposits, including the Bluelite deposit. The cut-off date for the LOM was March 31, 2014. Continued drilling since the March 31, 2014 cut-off date is designed to potentially upgrade and increase the reported mineral reserve and resource estimate and potentially extend life of mine. Drilling on the Bluelite deposit continues to meet with success, returning significant intercepts both within and extending outside of the pit shell outline modelled in the updated LOM.

Highlights from this latest phase of RC drilling on the Bluelite deposit include:

  • MR14880: 1.27 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR14972: 6.51 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR14973: 1.45 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR14977: 7.68 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR14978: 5.28 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR141045: 12.42 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
