Posted on by

Scorpio Gold Corp. {TSX.V: SGN} have released further good drill results from their Brodie satellite deposit at Mineral Ridge, Nevada, USA.

This continues the trend of good drill results throughout 2015.

 

Vancouver, October 26, 2015 – Scorpio Gold Corp. {TSX.V: SGN} reports additional results from the 2015 expansion drilling program on the NW Brodie trend at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

Exploration drilling along the NW Brodie trend in 2015 continues to outline a semi-continuous mineralised corridor up to 300 meters wide that extends over a 500 meter strike length between the Brodie and Bluelite deposits. This area lies well outside of currently defined resources and modeled pit outlines. The Company’s management believes that results to date are promising and may potentially allow for building a new resource in this area.

  • MR151623: 3.81 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 3.05 meters
