Underground Bulk Sampling Program At The Goldwedge Mine

VANCOUVER - Scorpio Gold Corporation reported the commencement of an underground bulk sampling program and preliminary metallurgical testing at its 100% owned Goldwedge Mine located in Manhattan Nevada. The program is intended to provide additional information where 2020 drilling intersected high-grade gold and silver mineralization proximal to underground workings.

The sampling will focus on an area where 2020 underground drill hole GWUG20-001 intersected 7.6 m averaging 12.47 g/t gold and 176.23 g/t silver, that included 1.52 m grading 53.49 g/t gold and 0.15 m grading 3,960 g/t silver. Hole GWUG20-001 was collared in the face of cross-cut “A” at the 2060 m (6760 ft) elevation and was drilled at 247 azimuth and -10 dip. The hole intersected the high-grade mineralization from 25.3 to 32.9 m downhole. A 9 x 9 ft drift will be developed from the crosscut face through the mineralized zone encountered in hole GWUG20-001 for bulk sampling purposes. Once completed, this drift will also be proximal to mineralization intersected in 2020 drill holes, GWUG20-002 and GWUG20-003.
