Scorpio Gold Announces 2024 Manhattan Exploration Program, Commencement of Phase 1 Drill Campaign

Scorpio Gold Announces 2024 Manhattan Exploration Program, Commencement of Phase 1 Drill Campaign

Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSXV: SGN) (OTC Pink: SRCRF) (FSE: RY9) ("Scorpio Gold", or the "Company") is pleased to announce its 2024 exploration program (the "2024 Exploration Program" or the "Program") at its Manhattan District, has commenced the first phase of the Program's planned drilling campaign ("Phase 1"). Phase 1 consists of an initial 5 drill holes, followed by an anticipated 4,260 meters in 20 holes through the rest of 2024. Manhattan is a low-sulfidation epithermal gold deposit located in Nye County, Nevada containing a higher-grade coarse gold deposit already identified through over 100,000 m of historic drilling. Phase 1 is intended to extend known mineralization along strike into untested areas utilizing surface diamond drilling. This drill program will provide data for a preliminary metallurgical testing program and confirm known intervals at the Manhattan and Goldwedge targets with the goal of producing a NI 43-101 compliant resource report later this year.

Targeting for 2024:
The 2024 drill program is intended to extend known mineralization along the Reliance Fault zone in several directions, including northwest of the West Pit where the mineralized structure projects toward Goldwedge. Targeting the south trend of the Reliance Fault aims to verify the extent of mineralization along strike, with several holes also planned to target potential down-dip extensions to high-grade mineralization encountered in previous drilling. Additional drilling is planned to test several N-S to NW-SE striking structures which control high grade mineralization previously mined from the East Pit.

All figures are in feet.

The Reliance Fault (main structure of the west pit):
The Reliance fault is the primary target to be tested in 2024. The NW-SE Striking structure is within the West Pit and projects towards the already drilled Goldwedge Zone, 600 meters northwest. As the structure approaches Goldwedge, it becomes parallel with the Manhattan Caldera margin and is underexplored along strike to the northwest of the Goldwedge underground workings. This presents an attractive exploration target for future work.

The East Splay (main structure of the east pit):
The East Splay is conceptualized as a N-S striking splay off the main Reliance Fault and appears to control mineralization in the East Pit. This structure will be tested down dip, along strike to the north of the East Pit, and at its conceptualized intercept with a NW-SE striking structure projected southeast from the Goldwedge area (see Figure 1).

Metallurgical test-work:
The 2024 drill core will be used to commence initial metallurgical testing for inclusion in the initial resource report.

As reported in the Company's press release on May 15, 2024, Scorpio Gold has engaged Daniel & Kunz and Associates ("DKA"), a technical consulting firm founded and led by Daniel Kunz. DKA has played an integral role in the planning and execution of the 2024 Exploration Program, basing all the targeting for Phase 1 off of the extensive current modelling of the over 1,200 drillholes, and the review and consolidation of historic data.

Scorpio Gold's Manhattan District comprises the advanced exploration-stage Goldwedge Project, with a 400 ton per day gravity mill. Adjacent to Goldwedge is the 4,300-acre Manhattan Project that was acquired from Kinross in 2021 and is centered on two past-producing pits. The consolidated Manhattan District presents an exciting late-stage exploration opportunity, with over 100,000m+ of historical drilling, demonstrating significant resource potential, alongside valuable permitting.

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.
