Peter J. Hawley, CEO of Scorpio, commented:

The Telesto report gives us a strong basis to move forward with a conceptual development and mine plan for the satellite deposits and a clear outline of where additional in-fill and step out drilling could allow for both upgrading and significant increases in the resource. Drilling has already commenced in the Brodie and Bluelite areas and is meeting with success, and we are mobilizing a second rig to the property in September 2013 that will be dedicated to the satellite deposits. In addition, there is no shortage of high priority exploration targets on the property that remain to be tested.
