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

20.05.2015  |  Marketwire

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 20, 2015) - Scorpio Gold Corp. ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports initial results from the 2015 expansion drilling program on the Bluelite deposit at its70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

The 2015 expansion program at Bluelite 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. Approximately 80 reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes are planned at Bluelite in 2015. Management believes that initial results received from the 2015 drilling program should positively impact the current resource base and will potentially allow for defining a new resource in the wide area of mineralization that extends directly south of the current pit outline.

Pre-production development work at the Bluelite deposit is underway and the Company is on track to commence open pit production in Q2 2015.

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

  • MR151228: 6.70 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 4.57 meters
  • MR151232: 0.98 g/t gold over 13.72 meters
  • MR151237: 5.19 g/t gold over 15.24 meters
  • MR151312: 12.63 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
  • MR151317: 2.90 g/t gold over 6.10 meters

A drill hole location map is available at: DH Plan

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.
