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

14.09.2015  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 14, 2015) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports additional results from the 2015 expansion drilling program on the Bluelite satellite deposit at its70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

The 2015 expansion program at Bluelite has included 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.

All of the holes presented in Table 1 are step-out exploration holes located to the south-southwest and southeast of currently defined resources for the Bluelite deposit. Drilling has now outlined a broad area of mineralization extending 250 meters to the south-southwest of the Bluelite deposit and 500 meters southeast along the NW Brodie trend. Management believes that results received to date from the 2015 drilling program should positively impact the existing resource base at the Bluelite deposit.

Pre-production development work at the Bluelite deposit began in May 2015 with the pre-stripping of waste material. The pit entered production on July 1, 2015 and as of the end of August, 53,086 ore tons at an average grade of 0.053 opt (1.82 g/t) gold and 655,921 waste tons have been mined.

Highlights from this latest phase of exploration drilling at the Bluelite deposit include:

  • MR151445: 3.26 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151574: 1.25 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151578: 3.14 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151579: 1.47 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151603: 1.60 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151605: 1.99 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
  • MR151691: 2.25 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151695: 1.18 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151696: 1.46 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 80-100% 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 at: MR QAQC.
