Scorpio Gold Intersects 12.15 g/t Over 19.81 Meters at the Solberry Satellite Deposit, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada

Press Release: MINING EXPLORATION UPDATE – 9AM EDT Mon 6.16.2014
Good Looking 12.14g/t over 19.81 Meters

Update as promised and on-time release, as in the May 2014 Mine Tour YouTube vids in prior post by MUDbone1


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 16, 2014) - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports additional results from its 2014 drilling program at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Solberry deposit lies west of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and 600 meters northwest of the heap leach pad.

Pre-2013 RC drilling on the Solberry deposit outlined a small shallow resource based upon a floating cone pit shell (as reported in the Company's August 16, 2013 news release). Follow-up infill drilling was conducted in 2013 within the mineralized wireframe envelope modelled by Telesto, which extended east-southeast of the pit shell outline. Drilling in 2014 is targeting the extension of mineralization into untested ground outside of the current pit shell outline and southeast toward the Oromonte deposit. The 2014 drill program is designed to potentially expand and enhance the confidence level of the current resource.

In addition to the ongoing RC drilling campaign, the Company has commenced a property wide 14 hole 2,000 meter HQ diameter oriented core drilling program. The purpose of collecting this data is to better understand the preserved lithology and structural geology as well as the styles and controls to mineralization. Two oriented core holes, MR14985 and MR14986, were recently drilled proximal to RC-hole MR14929 (Table 1), providing the site exploration team with valuable detailed geological data in an area of high-grade mineralization. Assay results from these cored holes are pending. Results from the oriented core drilling program will greatly assist in guiding continued exploration on the Mineral Ridge property.

Highlights from this phase of RC drilling on the Solberry deposit include:

MR14783: 3.26 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 4.57 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.
