Scorpio Gold Reports Final Results from 2013 Expansion Drilling at the Brodie Satellite Deposit, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada

Vancouver, March 10, 2014 - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SGN) reports additional results from its 2013 satellite deposit drilling program at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Brodie deposit lies southwest of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and is immediately adjacent to the leach pad.

The 2013 drilling program on the Brodie deposit met with overall success, returning significant intercepts both within and extending outside of the floating cone pit shells modelled by Telesto, and along the mineralized trend that extends northwest toward the Bluelite deposit. Previous drill results from the first and second phases of expansion drilling on the Brodie deposit were reported in the Company's August 7, 2013 and November 13, 2013 news releases. Initial results from the third phase of drilling were reported in the Company's February 25, 2014 news release.

Further highlights from the third and final phase of the 2013 drilling at Brodie include:

MR13744: 4.01 g/t gold over 3.05 meters
MR13767: 2.73 g/t gold over 10.67 meters
MR13767: 1.03 g/t gold over 27.43 meters
MR13769: 1.54 g/t gold over 3.05 meters

All holes presented in Table 1 were completed by reverse circulation ("RC") drilling. True width is estimated at 90-100% of downhole width. Analytical results were performed by American Assay Laboratory Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility. External check assays to verify lab accuracy are routinely completed by ALS Chemex, an ISO 9001:2000 certified and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility.
