Drilling Intersects 21.34 Metres Grading 1.17 g/t Gold

VANCOUVER, BC - Scorpio Gold Corporation reported further results from its 2012 drilling program on the Brodie Northwest Zone, located 975 metres (3,200 feet) southwest of the current mining in the Drinkwater pit at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, Nevada.

Peter J Hawley, CEO said, "Drilling to date has allowed us to define the limits of the mineralized structural zone that trends through the Brodie corridor, connecting the Brodie, Brodie Northwest and Bluelite zones. Previous operators thought the Bluelite and Brodie zones were two separate mineralized bodies; however, results of the Fall 2011 and the initial 2012 drilling have indicated they are one and the same deposit, connected by the Brodie Northwest zone. Further infill drilling is planned once all results from the first pass 2012 drilling have been received, compiled and modeled. The Brodie corridor mineralization lies immediately west of the leach pad and is well situated for cost-effective open pit extraction."
