All holes presented in the above tables were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling. True width is estimated at ~90% downhole width. Analytical results were performed by American Assay Laboratory Inc. (AAL) in Sparks, Nevada, USA. AAL does not have ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation but implements a quality management system following ISO/IEC 17025 standards and maintains a paperwork trail for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. AAL participates in a number of testing and certification programs, details of which are presented in Scorpio Gold’s quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program for the Mineral Ridge project at: http://www.scorpiogold.com/i/pdf/reports/QAQC-MR.pdf. External check assays to verify lab accuracy are routinely completed by ALS Chemex, an ISO 9001:2000 certified and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory.
Mr. Peter J. Hawley, PGeo, is Scorpio Gold’s Qualified Person and CEO for the various Scorpio Gold projects. Mr. Hawley is responsible for the current exploration and development program at Mineral Ridge.
Scorpio Gold reports its results under Canadian mining and TSX Venture Exchange guidelines, which report mineral reserve and resource estimates differently than in the U.S., and may not meet the standards of “proven” and “probable” reserves set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7. Investors should not infer from these assay results that there exists sufficient amounts of precious metals in these areas to support profitable mining operations now, or in the immediate future.
