The Company now has shareholder permission to close the second tranche of a private placement with
Augusta Investments Inc. of $1.6 million to bring Augusta’s total investment to $4.6 of the private
placement (see NR September 14, 2020). Augusta Investments Inc. is a Canada-US based mining sector-
focused management group led by its founder and Chairman, Richard Warke.
The shareholders also approved the earn-in option agreement with Titan Mining Corporation whereby Titan
can earn an 80% joint venture interest on the Company’s 100% owned Mineral Ridge gold project located
in Esmeralda County, Nevada. To maintain the option Titan must spend a total of US$35 million over a
staged period of five years. If Titan spends the initial US$7 million of expenditures by January 1, 2022, it
will also have the right to acquire a 100% interest by paying Scorpio Gold US$35 million on or before
December 31, 2022 (see NR August 31, 2020).
The earn-in agreement with Titan Mining will deliver an aggressive exploration program to build on the
substantial mineral reserve and resource base at Mineral Ridge. The Company’s gold extraction operations
at Mineral Ridge will continue through to December 31, 2021, ensuring Scorpio Gold’s operating team
stays intact and can assist Titan where needed.
The proceeds of the private placement will fund an extensive exploration program at the Company’s 100%
owned Goldwedge property in Nevada. Scorpio Gold is in the process of finalizing the acquisition of the
adjacent Kinross Manhattan property. An underground delineation drilling program is in progress at the
Goldwedge Mine and planning for surface drilling on high- priority targets over the entire land package is
underway.
“Scorpio Gold will see the most activity on both of its projects in its history at a time when the gold price
is reaching previously seen historic highs. It is expected that the Company will generate a steady news flow
ahead” said Brian Lock, CEO.
