Scorpio Gold Intersects 16.77 metres grading 2.61 g/t Gold at the Drinkwater Highwall Zone, Mineral Ridge Operation
Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) announces initial drill results from its 2012 drilling program at the Drinkwater Highwall Zone, located at the northwest end of the Drinkwater pit which is currently in full-scale open pit production at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, Nevada.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO comments; "Scorpio Gold's review of historical data indicated that mineralization was left behind in the high wall at the northwest end of the Drinkwater pit. Initial drill results on the Drinkwater Highwall Zone and its northwest trend not only confirm this, but show that the width of this gold mineralization is substantial. Drilling continues to outline and expand the mineralized zone, which is currently open along strike to the north and south. Once drilling is complete, the Drinkwater Highwall Zone will be modeled and incorporated into the mine plan."
