Scorpio Gold (TSXV:SGN) announced results from its expansion drilling program at the Solberry Satellite Deposit on the Mineral Ridge Project in Nevada. Highlights include 3.17 grams per tonne gold over 3.05 meters, and 4.11 g/t gold over 1.52 meters.
Highlights of initial results:
Infill Drilling:
MR151244: 3.17 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 3.05 meters
MR151250: 4.11 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
MR151253: 2.01 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
MR151259: 2.47 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
MR151276: 1.66 g/t gold over 6.10 metersStep-Out Exploration Drilling:
MR151286: 3.77 g/t gold over 4.57 meters
MR151306: 9.43 g/t gold over 1.52 meters
MR151358: 3.00 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
MR151381: 1.21 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
As quoted in the press release:
A total of 110 reverse circulation (“RC”) drill holes have been completed to date at Solberry in 2015. Approximately 20% were infill holes within and proximal to the current pit shell outline. The remaining 80% were step out holes primarily drilled to the east of the Solberry deposit and south toward the Bluelite deposit. Positive results were received from both the infill and step-out exploration drilling. Management believes that these results in conjunction with results from the 2014 drilling program should positively impact the current resource base and will potentially allow for defining new resources in the wide area of mineralization that extends +150 meters to the east and +125 meters south toward the Bluelite deposit.
… Significant assay results were received for 61 of the 110 holes (MR15241- 310 and MR15341-381) drilled in the Solberry target area in 2015 (Table 1). No significant results were returned from the 49 remaining drill holes.
