Scorpio Gold Announces Restructured Private Placement

Vancouver, December 1, 2023 - Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGN) ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") announces that it has restructured the terms of its planned financings, which were described in the Company's press releases dated November 8 and 10, 2023, into one non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") to raise gross proceeds to the Company of up to $4,000,000 by the issuance of up to 26,666,666 units of the Company at a price of $0.15 per unit. Each unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The details of the Private Placement are reflected on a post-consolidation basis, as the Company's common shares began trading on a consolidated basis on November 24, 2023.

The Private Placement is to be completed prior to closing of the Company's proposed acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Altus Gold Corp. (the "Transaction"). The Company plans to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for general working capital purposes. The Company intends to complete a first tranche of the Private Placement on or about December 8, 2023, and complete the remainder of the Private Placement before the end of 2023. For further details on the Transaction, see the Company's press release dated November 8, 2023.

The Private Placement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
