Scorpio Gold Executes The Kinross Manhattan Project Agreement

VANCOUVER - Scorpio Gold Corporation has executed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Manhattan Project Properties, located in Nye Country, Nevada situated adjacent and proximal to Scorpio Gold’s Goldwedge property. This acquisition of 4,300 acres combined with the Goldwedge 1,771 acres gives Scorpio Gold complete land control of 6,071 acres around the Goldwedge facility, providing the opportunity to expand surface operations and the potential for expanding underground mining and exploration. It also consolidates a large land position along the Reliance Fault Zone, which has significant exploration potential for high-grade gold targets at the intersections of the Reliance structure and ring faulting related to the Manhattan Caldera. The Manhattan Property is comprised of 22 patented claims and 219 unpatented claims situated adjacent and proximal to the Company’s Goldwedge property.
