February 27, 2026 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SGN, OTCQB: SRCRF,
FSE: RY9) (“Scorpio Gold”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from three step out holes of the
Phase Two drill program at the Manhattan District Project (“Manhattan”), Nevada, USA: 26MN-046, 26MN-047
and 26MN-048. The results are tabulated in Table 1 and discussed below. Scorpio Gold has drilled 47 drill holes
to date from its Phase Two diamond drilling program, 25MN-011 through 25MN-045, 26MN-046 through 26MN-
056, and 26MN-048, for a grand total of 15,280 m. With the results herein, Scorpio Gold has reported assays on
38 of these (25MN-011 through 25MN-045 and 26MN-046 through 26MN-048), totalling 11,907 m, and assays
are pending from 9 holes (26MN-049 through 26MN-056 and 26MN-058), totalling 3,373 m. The pending results
will be reported as they become available.
“Hole 26MN-048 is a pivotal step-o ut at Goldwedge that confirms strong gold mineralization along the caldera
margin, beyond the current Inferred Resource C onstraining Pit. The 28.35 metre interval grading 1.25 g/t gold
from 124.75 metres, along with the broader 49.23 metre interval higher in the hole, demonstrates vertical
continuity within the Zanzibar Formation and validates our structural model targeting the faulted contact between
caldera volcanics and sedimentary units. Importantly, the deeper intervals convert previously uncategorized
mineralization, extends the system down-dip, reinforces the openness along strike of the faulted caldera contact,
and the prospective nature of the caldera-hosted corridor for further resource expansion”, stated Harrison
Pokrandt, VP Exploration of Scorpio Gold.
“These drill results continue to reflect our disciplined approach to advancing Manhattan and delivering
meaningful updates to the market on a consistent cadence. With 47 holes completed in Phase Two and assays
pending from additional step-outs, we remain committed to generating steady, hi gh-quality technical results as
we expand mineralization beyond the current resource footprint. Our objective is clear: build scale methodically
and keep shareholders informed with regular, data-driven progress”, commented Zayn Kalyan, CEO and Director
of Scorpio Gold.

Drill hole 26MN-048 was drilled at Goldwedge to test the faulted contact zone between caldera volcanics and
Zanzibar Formation sedimentary units that host the June 2025 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate. Drill hole
26MN-047 was drilled along the Reliance Trend, a 50 m step-out to the northwest of hole 25MN-042, see news
release dated February 11, 2026. Drill hole 26MN-046 was drilled to the north of the historic East Pit as a 50 m
vertical step-out from drill hole 25MN-043. This drill hole was testing a northerly extension of a mineralized west
trending fault splay and confirmed the mineralization exists to the east of this drill hole. All three holes tested
beyond the Inferred Resource Constraining Pit (“IRCP”), see Figure 1. For further details see “Mineral
Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report, Manhattan Property, Nye County, Nevada” with an effective

Completed hole summaries and reported results:
26MN-048: contains four intervals hosted in the Ordovician Zanzibar Formation, within limestones and fine
grained meta-sedimentary units, see Figure 2. Intervals include 0.77 g/t gold over 7.53 m from 5.12 m, 0.59 g/t
gold over 49.23 m from 31.69 m, 1.25 g/t gold over 28.35 m from 124.75 m, and 0.62 g/t gold over 32.13 m from
162.12 m. The latter two intervals convert uncategorized mineralization from the June 2025 Inferred Mineral
Resource Estimate. Mineralization beyond the 176 m length of this drill hole sits outside of the IRCP. See Figure
3, section A to A’.

sedimentary clastic units, of 0.20 g/t gold over 12.04 m from 21.49 m.
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 for preparation. For q uality
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
method PA-AU02 (~500 g), a two-cycle PhotonAssay TM analysis of crushed material (70% passing 2 mm). All
Paragon Geochemical 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.

• 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 reli able 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 October 23, 2025 (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, L G
(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 securit ies
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 Re source
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
