Drill results at Mineral Ridge play hint at new resource

A 2014 expansion drilling programme at Scorpio Gold Corporation’s 70%-owned Mineral Ridge project, in Nevada, is likely to result in the upgrade and expansion of the project’s mineral resources and potentially allow for the building of a new resource in the area of mineralisation that extends to the south, the group said this week. The Toronto-listed company noted in a statement that, in addition to expanding the margins of the currently modelled pit shell outline for the project’s Bluelite deposit, step-out drilling tested an up to 100-m-wide area of mineralisation that trended south from the deposit.
