Drill Results
Scorpio Gold Drills 0.58 g/t Gold over 18.04 Metres from 311.05 Metres Within Manhattan Caldera, at Black Mammoth
Scorpio Gold's Manhattan District Drilling Continues to Step Out, But Stock Consolidates Near Key Support

Executive Summary
- Scorpio Gold Corp. announced assay results from two step-out drill holes (26MN-078 and 26MN-088) at the Black Mammoth target within its Manhattan District Project in Nevada.
- Hole 26MN-078 returned 0.58 g/t Au over 18.04 m from 311.05 m, along with additional lower-grade intervals.
- Hole 26MN-088 returned 0.35 g/t Au over 17.4 m from 185.96 m, including a higher-grade interval of 2.55 g/t Au over 1.49 m.
- Both holes step out more than 250 meters beyond the current Inferred Resource Constraining Pit (IRCP), targeting the northern deposit margin where caldera contacts become dominant.
- This zone had never been tested with modern drilling prior to this program.
- Phase Two diamond drilling has now completed 91 holes totaling 25,838 m, with 73 holes assayed and 18 holes pending.
- Management highlights the geological analogy to the nearby Round Mountain Gold Mine, suggesting potential for wide, bulk-tonnage mineralization within the caldera volcanics.
Material Impact
- The June 2, 2026 drill results are consistent with the company's ongoing Phase Two exploration program, which has been releasing step-out results consistently since April 2026.
- The intercepts are in line with previous announcements, reinforcing the structural model and extending mineralization beyond the IRCP without introducing unexpected grade or tonnage surprises.
- The news is incremental, expected, and serves to build the geological case for a district-scale system rather than materially altering the company's financial position or near-term valuation.
- No new strategic partnerships, financing events, or resource estimate updates are attached to this release, keeping the impact routine.

- A maiden NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate was filed in June 2025, reporting 18.34 million tonnes grading 1.26 g/t Au for 740,000 ounces contained gold in the inferred category.
- Historical resources cover satellite deposits totaling approximately 304,000 ounces at 5.89 g/t Au.
- The company is executing a 50,000-metre Phase Two drilling program aimed at expanding the resource, converting historic data, and testing new targets like Black Mammoth, Zanzibar Trend, and Reliance Trend.
