Scorpio Gold Reports Results of Exploration Drilling at the State Bank Target, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada

21.12.2015  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 21, 2015) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports results from its 2014-2015 exploration drilling program within the State Bank target area at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

State Bank is a large target area located west- southwest of the Bluelite deposit. Targeting of the area was based on a combination of soil geochemistry, rock chip sampling, geophysical interpretation and aster imagery. Detailed geological and structural mapping determined that elevated gold grades correlate with fold axes, a feature common to several of the gold deposits at Mineral Ridge.

In total, 78 reverse circulation and two diamond core holes tested parts of the target area. Approximately 42% of the holes intersected mineralization of interest; however, the majority of holes returned sub-gram gold assays. High-grade mineralization was intersected in two holes (MR151899-900) in the southwest corner of the target area. Follow-up drilling is planned in 2016.

Highlights from RC drilling on the State Bank target include:

  • MR141071: 1.33 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 9.14 meters
  • MR141087: 1.89 g/t gold over 9.14 meters
  • MR141088: 1.31 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR141093: 2.85 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
  • MR141095: 1.87 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151732: 2.51 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
  • MR151899: 9.98 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
  • MR151900: 17.02 g/t gold over 3.05 meters

All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling with the exception of core holes MR141013-14. 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: www.scorpiogold.com/i/pdf/reports/QAQC-MR.pdf.
