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

16.09.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 16, 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 Brodie deposit lies southwest of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and is immediately adjacent to the leach pad.

On July 21, 2014, the Company reported an updated Life of Mine Plan ("LOM") for the Mineral Ridge Operation, which includes the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary/LC pits and five adjacent satellite deposits, including the Brodie 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.

Holes MR14850, 14899 and MR141051-059 were drilled within and peripheral to the modelled pit outlines for the Brodie deposit. Results from this phase of expansion drilling continue to be very positive and are expected to upgrade and expand the mineral resources currently defined for the Brodie deposit.

Holes MR 14941 and 14957-59 were drilled within the Missouri claim area, which lies mid-way between the Brodie and Bluelite deposits along a semi-continuous northwest-trending mineralized corridor. This area lies well outside of currently defined resources and modelled pit outlines. Results from drilling continue to be very promising and may potentially allow for building a new resource in this area.

Highlights from this latest phase of RC drilling on the Brodie deposit and Missouri area include:

  • MR14957: 1.28 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR14958: 1.66 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR14959: 2.59 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR141053: 1.67 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
  • MR141055: 1.96 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
