VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 1, 2014) - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports additional results from the 2014 expansion drilling program on the Bluelite deposit at its70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.


As reported in the Company's July 21, 2014 news release, an updated Life of Mine Plan ("LOM") for the Mineral Ridge Operation encompasses the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary LC pits and five adjacent satellite deposits, including the Bluelite deposit. The cut-off date for the LOM was March 31, 2014. Continued drilling since the March 31, 2014 cut-off date is designed to potentially upgrade and increase the reported mineral reserve and resource estimate and potentially extend life of mine.


Drilling on the Bluelite deposit continues to meet with success, returning significant intercepts both within and extending outside of the pit shell outline modelled in the updated LOM. Management fully expects these results will lead to an upgrade and expansion of the mineral resources currently defined for the Bluelite deposit.


Highlights from this latest phase of drilling on the Bluelite deposit include:

MR141036: 1.47 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 10.67 meters

MR141037: 0.93 g/t gold over 16.76 meters

MR141040: 1.93 g/t gold over 7.62 meters

MR141067: 0.99 g/t gold over 13.72 meters

MR141117: 1.87 g/t gold over 9.14 meters

MR141120: 6.37 g/t gold over 9.14 meters

.

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.
