Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2026) - Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGN) (OTCQB: SRCRF) (FSE: RY9) ("Scorpio Gold", or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from eighteen step-out holes of the Phase Two drill program at the Manhattan District Project ("Manhattan"), Nevada, USA: 26MN-087, 26MN-090, 26MN-093 through 26MN-095, 26MN-097 through 26MN-108, and 26MN-110, see Figure 1. The results are tabulated in Table 1 and discussed below. Scorpio Gold has drilled 102 drill holes to date from its Phase Two diamond drilling program, 25MN-011 through 25MN-045, 26MN-046 through 26MN-112, for a grand total of 28,939 m. With the results herein, Scorpio Gold has reported assays on 99 of these (25MN-011 through 25MN-045, 26MN-046 through 26MN-108, and 26MN-110, totalling 27,793 m, and assays are pending from 3 holes (26MN-109, 26MN-111 and 26MN-112), totalling 1,146 m. The pending results will be reported as they become available.

In addition to the Phase Two drill program, the Company is reviewing historic core that is available at Manhattan and analyzing any historic core and pulps for silver. This new silver data from historic materials is supplementary to silver data that has been collecting since 2024 on new core drilled by the Company. Silver, or a gold equivalent, has not been used or included in any results to date. Results from drill hole GWUG-11-11 are also included in Table 1 and discussed below. Any new significant results from historic core or pulps will be reported as they become available.

"Manhattan continues to deliver high-grade gold with remarkable consistency, and these results deepen our understanding of why. The 97.99 metre intercept grading 2.05 g/t gold in hole 26MN-110 demonstrates that Goldwedge hosts broad, continuous zones of mineralization punctuated by high-grade intervals. The combination of structural and stratigraphic intersection at Goldwedge is providing the kind of grade-and-thickness combination that drives meaningful resource growth at Manhattan.

Along the Zanzibar Trend, mineralization is also proving to be strongly controlled by stratigraphy and structure, with high-grade gold recurring at the Zanzibar-Gold Hill contact and within fault breccias hosting multiple generations of epithermal veining — hallmarks of a large, long-lived gold system. Importantly, these step-outs tested within and beyond the boundaries of our maiden resource, so every new intercept is either adding new mineralization or upgrading material outside the current block model. We have also begun analyzing multi-element ICP data received to date, which include silver values. Silver was historically produced alongside gold in the Manhattan District, and we see the potential for silver to be incorporated into future resource estimates — adding a byproduct dimension that our maiden resource did not capture. With 99 of 102 Phase Two holes now reported and the system open in multiple directions, Manhattan keeps reinforcing its district-scale potential," said Harrison Pokrandt, VP Exploration for Scorpio Gold.

¹ Intervals contain no more than 3 continuous metres grading less than 0.1 g/t gold.

Table 1. Results from the current batch of drill holes. Note: There is insufficient geological information to estimate a true width for the drill intercepts reported.

Zanzibar Trend Results:
26MN-087: This drill hole contains three significant intervals hosted within Cambrian Gold Hill Formation brecciated fine grained clastic meta-sediments. The first interval of 0.40 g/t gold over 10.82 m from 30.63 m is oxidized and brecciated. The second interval of 1.19 g/t gold over 2.38 m from 222.78 m is comprised of a re-lithified breccia. The last interval of 0.56 g/t gold over 7.89 m from 321.48 m is a breccia with obvious evidence of faulting. The later interval ends in Oligocene Round Rock Formation ("Manhattan Caldera") ash and lapilli tuff volcanic units, from 328.54 m to 329.37 m. The different breccias suggest multiple mineralization events.

26MN-090: This drill hole contains four significant intervals hosted within Cambrian Gold Hill Formation fine grained carbonate and clastic meta-sediments, including breccia and marble. The first interval of 0.91 g/t gold over 20.63 m from 74.38 m sits directly below a large, oxidized fault (~73 m) and is largely oxidized and broken muds and limestones. The second interval of 16.47 g/t gold over 2.35 m from 143.41 m contains a near-parallel to core axis quartz-calcite vein and is constrained to a limestone bed with strong alteration above the interval. The third and fourth intervals of 0.29 g/t gold over 12.5 m from 156.18 m and 0.81 g/t gold over 9.14 m from 288.13 m are within brecciated meta-mud and siltstones. See cross-section A to A' (Figure 5).

26MN-093: This drill hole contains two significant intervals hosted within Ordovician Zanzibar Formation limestones and carbonaceous muds. The first interval of 0.41 g/t gold over 17.1 m from 67.97 m is within re-lithified brecciated muddy limestone. The last interval of 0.34 g/t gold over 16.31 m from 107.29 m is within broken, vein filled, brecciated and oxidized limestone. This interval sits directly above sheared carbonaceous mudstone (starting at 123.60 m), which sits above Manhattan Caldera volcanics (at 131.98 m). The different breccias suggest multiple mineralization events.

26MN-094: This drill hole contains one significant interval within the Ordovician Zanzibar Formation. The interval of 0.19 g/t gold over 5.52 m from 29.65 m is within bedded, vein filled limestone. This interval sits directly above a massive sheared carbonaceous mudstone (starting at 35.17 m).

26MN-097: This drill hole contains one significant interval that extends through the stratigraphic contact between the Ordovician Zanzibar and Cambrian Gold Hill Formations. The interval of 0.36 g/t gold over 11.98 m from 106.16 m is within Zanzibar Formation limestone and continues into Gold Hill Formation meta-mudstones at 112.68 m. The start of this interval is strongly oxidized and veined.

26MN-099: This drill hole contains two intervals within the Ordovician Zanzibar Formation. The first sits directly below the Manhattan Caldera volcanics contact, 0.77 g/t gold over 11.61 m from 63.52, within limestone and carbonaceous mudstones. The second Zanzibar Formation interval of 0.40 g/t gold over 6.4 m from 89.31 m is hosted withing strongly epithermal veined, bedded, limestone. One significant interval extends through the stratigraphic contact (at 103.33 m) between the Ordovician Zanzibar and Cambrian Gold Hill Formations, of 0.88 g/t gold over 18.59 m from 98.76 m, including 1.28 g/t gold over 9.45 m from 101.19 m. Two significant intervals are hosted entirely within the Cambrian Gold Hill Formation. The first interval of 2.10 g/t gold over 16.15 m from 126.95 m, including 2.91 g/t gold over 10.27 m from 128.32 m (see Figure 4), is hosted within a re-lithified breccia of fine-grained clastic meta-sediments, and sits directly above a marble bed. The last interval of 0.18 g/t gold over 14.08 m from 228.78 m sits directly above the Brougher Fault, and a marble bed, within fine grained clastic meta-sediments. See cross-section A to A' (Figure 5).

26MN-104: This drill hole contains four intervals within Cambrian Gold Hill Formation fine grained clastic meta-sediments. The first interval of 2.04 g/t gold over 2.32 m from 99.97 m sits directly above a marble bed with a gouge fault contact. The final three intervals of 1.75 g/t gold over 4.51 m from 110.95 m, 35.23 g/t gold over 1.01 m from 139.26 m, and 1.35 g/t gold over 1.31 m from 294.59 m contain strong epithermal vein textures throughout.

QA/QC

HQ sized diamond drill core samples were cut in halves, then bagged and secured with security tags to ensure integrity during transportation to the Reno, NV, Paragon Geochemical facility or the Elko, NV, MSALABS facility for preparation. For quality assurance ("QA"), unmarked coarse blanks, unmarked certified reference materials, and requested laboratory duplicates were inserted into the sampling sequence. QA samples were systematically inserted into each batch of samples, amounting to approximately 10% of the run of samples. Samples were analyzed for gold using a two-cycle PhotonAssayTM analysis method (~500 g) of crushed material (70% passing 2 mm). All Paragon Geochemical and MSALABS facilities comply with ISO 17025:2017.

About the Manhattan District

Manhattan, located in the Walker Lane Trend of Nevada, USA, is road accessible and lies approximately 20 kilometers south of the operating Round Mountain Gold Mine (https://www.kinross.com/operations/default.aspx#americas-roundmountain), which has produced more than 15 million ounces of gold. For the first time, the Company has consolidated Manhattan's past-producing mines under a single entity that holds valuable permitting and water rights. Historically, Manhattan has produced approximately 700,000 ounces of gold from high-grade placer and lode operations dating from the late 1890s through to the mid-2000s.¹ The maiden mineral resource estimate (the "Maiden MRE") covering the Goldwedge and Manhattan Pit areas of Manhattan is comprised of 18,343,000 tonnes grading 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 740,000 oz contained gold in the inferred category.²

A historical mineral resource estimate (the "Historical MRE") covers the Black Mammoth, April Fool, Hooligan, Keystone, and Jumbo areas of Manhattan and comprises 1,652,325 tonnes grading 5.89 g/t gold for a total of 303,949 oz contained gold.³ The deposit is interpreted as a low-sulfidation, epithermal, gold-rich system situated adjacent to the Tertiary-aged Manhattan caldera in the Southern Toquima Range of Nevada. A "Qualified Person" as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") has not done sufficient work to make the Historical MRE current, and the Company is not treating the Historical MRE as current.

Notes

  • Adjacent Properties: The Company has no interest in, or rights to, any of the adjacent properties mentioned, including the Round Mountain Gold Mine, and exploration results on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company's properties. Any references to exploration results on adjacent properties are provided for information only and do not imply any certainty of achieving similar results on the Company's properties.

  • Historical Data: This news release includes historical information that has been reviewed by the Company's qualified person. The Company's review of the historical records and information reasonably substantiate the validity of the information presented in this presentation. The Company encourages readers to exercise appropriate caution when evaluating these data and/or results.

  • Third-Party Mineral Projects: These deposits are cited solely for geological context. The Company cautions that these properties are not necessarily adjacent to, nor does the Company or have any interest in or control over them. Although certain geological features may be similar, there is no assurance that mineralization comparable to these deposits will be discovered on any of the Company's properties. Information regarding the aforementioned deposits is taken from publicly available sources and technical reports believed to be reliable but has not been independently verified by the Company. The Company encourages readers to exercise appropriate caution when evaluating these data and/or results.

  • Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE): All scientific and technical information relating to Manhattan pertaining to Maiden MRE contained in this news release is derived from the Technical Report dated April 23, 2026 (with an effective date of June 4, 2025) titled "Mineral Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report" (the "Technical Report") prepared by Matthew R. Dumala, P.Eng (BC) of Archer Cathro Geological (US) Ltd., Patrick Loury, M.Sc., CPG (AIPG) of Daniel Kunz & Associates, Annaliese Miller, LG (WA) of Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. and Art Ibrado, PhD, PE (AZ) of Fort Lowell Consulting PPLC. The information contained herein in respect of the Maiden MRE is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the Technical Report and reference should be made to the full text of the Technical Report, a copy of which has been filed with the applicable securities regulators and is available under the Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca.

  • Historical MRE: A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to make the Historical MRE current, and the Company is not treating the Historical MRE as current.

    The Company considers the Historical MRE relevant as it demonstrates the presence of significant gold mineralization across multiple zones within Manhattan; however, its reliability is uncertain because it was prepared prior to the adoption of the current CIM Definition Standards and current QA/QC practices. The Historical MRE provides limited disclosure of assumptions, parameters, estimation methods, cutoff grades, and QA/QC protocols, and therefore these cannot be fully verified by the Company. The categories used in the historical estimate predate, and are not directly comparable to, current CIM Definition Standards, and the Company is not treating the Historical MRE as a current Mineral Resource Estimate. To upgrade and verify the Historical MRE in order to make it a current Mineral Resource Estimate, the Company would be required to undertake confirmatory drilling, modern QA/QC sampling, validation and digitization of historical datasets and updated geological modeling followed by the preparation of a new Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101. The Company encourages readers to exercise appropriate caution when evaluating the Historical MRE.

    All scientific and technical information relating to Manhattan pertaining to the Historical MRE contained in this news release is derived from the Technical Report dated May 1997 titled "Exploration and Pre-Production Mine Development, Manhattan District Project, Nye County" (the "Historical Technical Report") prepared by New Concept Mining, Inc. The information contained herein in respect of the Historical MRE is subject to all the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the Historical Technical Report and reference should be made to the full text of the Historical Technical Report.
