Scorpio Gold Drills 1.27 g/t Gold over 45.23 Metres from 137.95 Metres Along Caldera Margin at Goldwedge

Scorpio Gold advances Manhattan District Phase 2 drilling with consistent Goldwedge intercepts, maintaining exploration momentum amid a steady cash position.

Executive Summary
  • Scorpio Gold Corp. announced assay results from three step-out drill holes (26MN-082, 26MN-084, 26MN-086) at the Goldwedge target within its Manhattan District Project in Nevada.
  • Hole 26MN-086 returned 1.27 g/t Au over 45.23 m from 137.95 m, including higher-grade intervals of 2.40 g/t Au over 7.47 m and 8.06 g/t Au over 2.80 m.
  • The results support the geological hypothesis that volcanic-hosted mineralization extends beyond the Caldera Margin into the broader Manhattan Caldera.
  • Phase Two drilling status: 92 holes drilled to date (25,919 m total). Assays reported for 76 holes (22,362 m), with 16 holes (3,557 m) pending.
  • QA/QC protocols remain consistent, utilizing Paragon Geochemical (ISO 17025:2017) with ~10% QA inserts.
Material Impact
  • The drill results are incremental and align with the company's stated Phase Two exploration strategy of testing step-out targets and expanding the Inferred Resource Constraining Pit (IRCP).
  • No material change to the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (740,000 oz Inferred) is expected from this single release.
  • The news is expected and routine, continuing the steady cadence of exploration updates since April 2026.
  • Financially, the company remains well-funded with $5.69M in cash (Q1 2026), recent warrant exercises, and escrow releases from the Mineral Ridge sale, mitigating immediate capital raising pressure.
