[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpio Gold Corporation (“Scorpio Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SGN) is pleased to provide an update of its surface RC drilling program at the Manhattan West and East pits of the recently acquired Kinross Manhattan Property in Manhattan, Nevada. Thirty-one holes (6907m) were completed in this Phase I program, including 19 holes in the West Pit area and 12 holes in the East Pit area (Figure 1). Assay results for 14 holes were reported in the Company’s July 20, September 7 and November 2, 2021 news releases. Results for holes MWRC21-018 and MWRC21-019 are presented in Table 1. Drill holes MWRC21-018 and 019 were collared near the northwestern edge of the West Pit and drilled in opposite directions (Figure 2). MWRC21-018, drilled to the northeast, intersected continuous mineralization from 27.5m to 220m downhole, returning 2.02g/t gold over 39.7m (Table 1). MWRC21-019, drilled to the southwest, intersected intermittent mineralization over 42m from 78m to 120m down hole, consisting of multiple ~7m wide stockwork mineralized sections separated by ~3m intervals of unmineralized botryoidal to prismatic quartz. Further down hole at 144.4m, intersection of a mineralized southwesterly trending cross structure returned 1.12 g/t gold over 6.1 m. The mineralization noted in rock chips from the 39.7m zone in MWRC21-018 closely resembles that within the 6.1m intersection in MWRC21-019, located ~140m downdip to the southeast. A further ~120m down dip southeast, similar mineralization was intersected in MWRC21-001, retuning 20.04 g/t gold over 15.3m (July 20, 2021 news release; Figure 2). A continuity of mineralization between these holes is indicated over the ~260m downdip length with an estimated width based on current and historical drilling of ~21m.
