Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV:SGN) hit 12.15 g/t gold over 19.81 meters at the Solberry Satellite deposit at the Mineral Ridge project in Nevada, part of its 2014 drill program designed to potentially expand and enhance the confidence level of the current resource.
As quoted in the press release:
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.
