Scorpio Gold Provides 2024 Summary to Shareholders

Including Q1 2025 Catalysts with Imminent Maiden Resource for the Manhattan District

January 24 , 2025 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSX-V: SGN, OTCQB:

SRCRF, FSE: RY9) (“Scorpio Gold”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a summary of the highlights of

its accomplishments in 2024 and reiterate the exciting catalysts for 2025.

Scorpio Gold had a transformational year in 2024:

• Closed a $6M Private Placement and amalgamation with Altus Gold after upsizing our initial public

offering of $4M due to unprecedented demand from institutions and high net worth investors.

• Closed a further $2.5M Private Placement and, concurrently, converted outstanding debt at a 100%

premium with longtime supporters and shareholders of Scorpio Gold.

• Brought in new Management: Zayn Kalyan, CEO and Director, Harrison Pokrandt, VP of Exploration,

Thomas Poitras, Chief Geologist, and Jeff Lindstrom, VP Operations.

• Significantly strengthened our team with a new Advisory Committee of Charles Funk, Daniel Kunz, Leo

Hathaway, and Board of Directors, Bill Sheriff and Michael Townsend.

• More than doubled our land position in the Manhattan District.

• Delivered strong assay results from our core drilling campaign at the Manhattan District.

The Company views these accomplishments as a strong base to allow further progression towards our two fully

permitted gold assets in the Walker Lane Trend, Nevada. Achievements for 2025 will be underpinned by the

momentum attained in 2024 as Scorpio Gold continues to add value for all stakeholders and shareholders.

“2024 has been a pivotal year for Scorpio Gold. We accomplished a lot, beginning the year strong with a full

restructure and fresh, accomplished and motivated team. We significantly advanced our flagship project in the

Manhattan District and continued to enhance every aspect of Scorpio Gold as a Company. The progress made

in 2024 has laid the foundation for an exciting year ahead, with several key milestones on the horizon, the most

salient of which being our forthcoming maiden resource estimate at Manhattan. Our focus remains on building

significant value at Manhattan through an aggressive 2025 exploration program that we intend to provide

guidance and further details on in the upcoming weeks,” said Zayn Kalyan, Scorpio Gold’s CEO.

Raised Capital and Attracted New Investors

The $8.5M raised in 2024, despite challenging market conditions for junior mining companies, is a testament to

the strong interest and confidence in Scorpio Gold’s projects. The oversubscription of our initial public offering

highlights the support from both institutional and high-net-worth investors.

Additions and Improvements to Management and Board

The additions to our management team and advisory board bring a wealth of experience and expertise in

exploration, geology, and operations. The strength of Scorpio Gold’s advisory team reinforces the confidence

and value of the Company’s assets, particularly Manhattan. The validation of several individuals with proven

track records of success in building mines and shareholder value has been critical in 2024 and will continue to

be critical as the Company continues to grow in 2025.

Growing and Advancing Manhattan

2024 saw significant progress at the Manhattan District, including doubling our land position (see Figure 1) and

releasing encouraging drill ing results. The key highlight from our drilling in 2024 is 1.69 g/t over 55.7 m , an

undercut of the Goldwedge underground, with the goal of one open pit resource between the historic Goldwedge

and Manhattan mines. Concurrent to drilling, Scorpio Gold compiled a historic database covering the entire

Manhattan District. Included in the database, and a foundational part of the Company’s future success, is a

comprehensive and modern drilling database. The drilling database will drive the maiden mineral resourc e

estimate (”MRE”) at Manhattan and future planning and exploration in the district. Significant data improvements

have been recently added, and the Company will provide an update on the nature of this data and its effect on

the upcoming MRE shortly. Scorpio Gold has also completed a review of historic production and metallurgical

testing data which we will also provide an update on soon.

Value Extraction at Mineral Ridge

Scorpio Gold was able to validate several potential value-extraction opportunities for the Mineral Ridge project

in 2024. We believe that the project continues to offer near -term development potential, supported by strong

historical production and a proven and probable resource. The Company believes that it has identified the best

path forward for the project and looks forward to providing updates on plans soon.

2025 and Beyond

Utilizing Manhattan’s modern database as the foundation for the MRE and the project going forward, we intend

on drilling a minimum of 10,000 meters in the Manhattan District in 2025. The goal of drilling this year is to expand

our MRE, while adding geological and structural knowledge, and contributing material to metallurgical test work.

Further to drilling, a detailed geophysical survey over our entire claim package, regional geological mapping,

and infill soil geochemical sampling will further develop drilling targets outside of the main MRE area. Following

the 2025 exploration campaign the focus will be on updating the MRE and planning future activities for 2026.

Management Changes

Scorpio Gold is also pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Andrea Yuan CPA, CGA, CPA (NH) to the

role of Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), effective immediately. Ms. Yuan is a seasoned CFO with strategic

capital markets experience in growth-oriented businesses within the mining industry. She will be assuming the

CFO responsibilities from Mr. Chris Richards who has stepped down as CFO of the Company.

Ms. Yuan obtained her Bachelor of Economics from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 1994

and started her career as an internal auditor and then as team head of the internal audit department at the

Bank of China’s Shanghai Pudong branch in China. From 2004 to 2011, Ms. Yuan worked at Davidson and

Company LLP, Chartered Accountants from senior auditor to audit principal. In November 2011, Ms. Yuan

started her own financial and management consulting company Black Dragon Financial Consulting Services

Inc. Mr. Yuan serves as CFO for several public companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, Canadian
