November 24, 2025 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSX-V:

SGN, OTCQB: SRCRF, FSE: RY9) (“Scorpio Gold”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce

results from seven holes from its 2025 drilling program at the Manhattan District Project

(“Manhattan”) located in Nevada, USA, namely,: (i) the final three holes from the Phase One

program (25MN-020, 25MN-021 and 25MN-022) and (ii) the initial four holes from the Phase Two

program (25MN-023, 25MN-024, 25MN-025 and 25MN-026). The results from holes 25MN-020

through 25MN-026 are tabulated in Table 1 and discussed below . Scorpio Gold has reported

assays on 16 drillholes totalling 5,341 m in 2025.

“The results from this latest set of drill holes continue to reinforce what our team has

believed from the outset: Manhattan is a district-scale opportunity with multi-million ounce

potential, that already stands apart from its peers based on grade—something the market

has yet to fully appreciate. Encountering new zones of mineralization both near surface

and at depth speaks to the true scale of the system, as well as the continuity we are rapidly

defining across multiple target areas.

Several of these holes step out meaningfully from the existing resource model, and with

multiple intercepts ending in mineralization, our confidence in a significantly expanded

resource envelope continues to grow. Intervals such as 18.14 metres grading 1.52 g/t gold

in hole 25MN -021, and 3.23 metres grading 9.95 g/t gold in hole 25MN -022, represent a

previously unrecognized splay off the main Reliance Trend—one that may ‘blow out’ into

thicker zones where it intersects favourable host horizons like the limestones and

sandstones that dominate the caldera margin. This is a strong demonstration of near -

resource prospectivity and the potential to materially expand the mineralized footprint at

Mustang Hill and beyond.

With our 50,000- metre program now well underway, this batch of results is just the

beginning of what we expect to be a steady cadence of updates that highlight the growing

value of Manhattan, our high-grade, low-risk Nevada gold asset,” commented Zayn Kalyan,

CEO and Director of Scorpio Gold.

Results from holes MN25- 021 and MN25- 022 at Mustang Hill indicate the presence of a

previously unidentified structural trend that hosts gold mineralization at grades similar to the

existing Mineral Resource along the margin of the Manhattan Caldera. These results present the

opportunity to add a new, near- surface target zone to Manhattan that is proximal to the existing

Mineral Resource. Future work will include reviewing historic drillholes and underground workings

in the area to define the size and shape of this new target area to prepare for testing with diamond

drilling.

Implications for Resource Growth

Collectively, the results from Mustang Hill, the Gap Zone, and the Reliance Trend support Scorpio

Gold’s exploration model of significant near -resource expansion. Multiple high-grade intercepts,

thick mineralized intervals, and step- outs of 25 –100 metres are consistent with the Company’s

objective to materially grow the resource base in upcoming updates.

Table 1. Drill intervals from reported batch of drill hole results. There is insufficient

geological information to estimate a true width for the drill intercepts reported.

1. Mustang Hill – New Structural Splay Confirmed

Hole 25MN-021, drilled at Mustang Hill, intersected 18.14 m grading 1.52 g/t gold from 176.78 m

and this was separated by 3.96m from an overlying interval of 17.19 m grading 0.74 g/t gold from

155.63 m. Combining these two intervals results in an intersection of 39.01 m grading 1.03 g/t

gold from 155.63 m. This intersect represents a new zone of mineralization, located

approximately 100 m from the nearest Inferred resource blocks, located laterally to the southwest.

The hole also intersected 16.89 m grading 0.48 g/t gold from 76.69 m that represents a new zone

of near surface mineralization.

Hole 25MN-022, drilled at Mustang Hill, intersected 3.23 m grading 21.82 g/t gold from 168.86

m that included a single 1.40 m sample grading 159.94 g/t gold. When a 70 g/t gold top cut is

applied, this interval is reported as 3.23 m grading 9.95 g/t gold. Below this, intervals of 2.71 m

grading 10.18 g/t gold from 177.39 m and 4.88 m grading 1.12 g/t gold were intersected. These

three intervals are all situated approximately 50 m from the nearest Inferred resource blocks and

may represent a newly recognised splay of the main Reliance Fault.

highlighting intercepts in reported batch of drill hole results.

2. Gap Zone – Continuity Confirmed

Hole 25MN-20, drilled in the Gap Zone, intersected 36.97 m, grading 0.94 g/t gold from 162.95

m and confirmed the continuity of mineralization and this confidence is expected to add tonnes to

the existing Inferred resource in this area, located between the West Pit and the Goldwedge

underground mine.

highlighting intercepts in drill holes 25MN-021 and 25MN-022.

3. Reliance Trend – Step-outs Demonstrate Scale

Hole 25MN-25, drilled to the northwest, intersected four intercepts: 9.88 m grading 0.35 g/t gold

from 82.78 m, 13.93 m grading 0.88 g/t gold from 150.82 m, 3.47 m grading 6.69 g/t gold and

4.54 m grading 0.34 g/t gold from 196.78 m. The boundary of the Inferred resource is complex in

this area, but these holes are expected to convert additional tonnes into a more coherent volume.

Hole 25MN-26, drilled to the northwest , intersected five intercepts that step out on the Inferred

resource: 7.28m grading 0.29 g/t gold from 138.10 m, 2.77m grading 3.11 g/t gold from 156.36

m, 3.05 m grading 1.11 g/t gold from 166.73 m, 8.72 m grading 2.07 g/t gold from 180.81 m and

1.10 m grading 10.49 g/t gold from 249.02 m. The approximate distance from the nearest resource

block for each interval is, respectively, 35 m, 20 m, 20 m, 25 m and 60 m.

Figure 4. Section C -C’ with background with Inferred Mineral Resource block model and

highlighting intercepts in drill holes 25MN-026 and 25MN-022.

Hole 25MN-24, drilled to the northwest, intersected 9.00 m grading 1.93 g/t gold from 177.39 m,

and was a 25m step -out hole on the existing Inferred resource along the trace of the Reliance

fault zone.

Hole 25MN-23, drilled to the northwest, intersected 4.88 m grading 2.59 g/t gold from 121.92 m,

and was a 100m step-out hole on the existing Inferred resource, indicating it pinching out in this

direction.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Sampling Procedures

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 quality 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

8% 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, 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.
