August 25, 2025 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSX-V: SGN, OTCQB:

SRCRF, FSE: RY9) (“Scorpio Gold”, or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly -owned

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Purchaser acquired all membership interests in MRG, along with the

related unpatented mining claims comprising MRG’s Mineral Ridge project located in Esmeralda County, Nevada

(the "Project"), for an aggregate cash purchase price of US$7,500,000, of which (i) US$5,000,000 has been

advanced by the Purchaser to the Company , (ii) a further US$1,500,000 has been paid into escrow as an

indemnification holdback, with such funds to be released to the Company on November 25, 2025 (as to 50%)

and May 25, 2026 (as to 50%), and (iii) a further US$1,000,000 will be paid on August 25, 2026 to the Company.

subsidiary, Scorpio US, in advance of closing. No finder’s fee was paid in connection with the transaction.

“The successful closing of the Mineral Ridge sale marks a pivotal milestone for Scorpio Gold. By divesting this

non-core asset, we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet, eliminated ongoing holding costs, and

secured meaningful, non-dilutive capi tal to advance our flagship Manhattan District project. With a stronger

financial foundation and a focused strategy, we are well positioned to unlock the full potential of what we believe

is one of Nevada’s most exciting, underexplored gold districts”, said Zayn Kalyan, CEO of Scorpio Gold.
