Scorpio Gold Drills 28.35 Metres Grading 1.25 g/t Gold, from 124.75 Metres Extending Mineralization Along Caldera Within Goldwedge, Manhattan District, Nevada
Scorpio Gold strengthens balance sheet with $7.9M warrant exercise as Phase Two drilling expands high-grade footprint at Manhattan.

The most recent news (Feb 27, 2026) reports significant drill results from the Phase Two program at the Manhattan District Project, Nevada. Hole 26MN-048 returned 1.25 g/t gold over 28.35 meters and 0.62 g/t over 32.13 meters, extending mineralization along the caldera margin beyond the current Inferred Resource Constraining Pit (IRCP). This follows a Feb 24 announcement that the company received $7.92 million from the exercise of 39.6 million warrants at $0.20, significantly boosting the treasury. Earlier February results included high-grade intercepts of 5.22 g/t over 36.82 meters (Feb 11) and 3.14 g/t over 49.62 meters (Feb 19).
The news is Routine - Positive. While the drill results are technically strong and demonstrate resource expansion potential, they are incremental results within a massive 50,000-meter program that the market has been expecting. The $7.9M warrant exercise is a material liquidity event, but since the warrants were already "in the money" and their expiry was known, the cash inflow was largely anticipated. - Operational Impact: The results confirm that mineralization extends beyond the 740,000 oz Inferred Resource pit shell, supporting management's goal of reaching a multi-million-ounce deposit. - Financial Impact: The $7.9M inflow, combined with the $7.5M Mineral Ridge sale proceeds (staged), provides a robust cash runway for the remainder of the 2026 drill program without immediate need for dilutive equity raises at these prices.
Scorpio Gold holds a 100% interest in the Manhattan District in Nevada. The project includes the Goldwedge and Manhattan Pit areas. The flagship project currently hosts a maiden Inferred Resource of 740,000 oz gold (18.3M tonnes @ 1.26 g/t). The district is characterized by high-grade epithermal mineralization and is located near Kinross’s Round Mountain mine.
