Scorpio Gold Reports Results from 2015 Expansion Drilling at the Solberry Satellite Deposit, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada

25.05.2015  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 25, 2015) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports results from its 2015 expansion drilling program on the Solberry satellite deposit at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

The 2015 expansion program at Solberry includes infill, development and exploration drilling to expand and upgrade the current mineral reserve and resource base for the deposit and potentially extend life of mine. A total of 110 reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes have been completed to date at Solberry in 2015. Approximately 20% were infill holes within and proximal to the current pit shell outline. The remaining 80% were step out holes primarily drilled to the east of the Solberry deposit and south toward the Bluelite deposit. Positive results were received from both the infill and step-out exploration drilling. Management believes that these results in conjunction with results from the 2014 drilling program should positively impact the current resource base and will potentially allow for defining new resources in the wide area of mineralization that extends +150 meters to the east and +125 meters south toward the Bluelite deposit.

Open pit mining at the Solberry deposit commenced in Q2 2015.

Highlights of the initial results from the 2015 expansion drilling on the Solberry deposit include:

Infill Drilling:

  • MR151244: 3.17 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151250: 4.11 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
  • MR151253: 2.01 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151259: 2.47 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151276: 1.66 g/t gold over 6.10 meters

Step-Out Exploration Drilling:

  • MR151286: 3.77 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151306: 9.43 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
  • MR151358: 3.00 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151381: 1.21 g/t gold over 7.62 meters

Significant assay results were received for 61 of the 110 holes (MR15241- 310 and MR15341-381) drilled in the Solberry target area in 2015 (Table 1). No significant results were returned from the 49 remaining drill holes.

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. Further details are presented in the Company's quality assurance and quality control program for the Mineral Ridge project, available for review at: MR QAQC.
