Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SGN) (OTCQB: SRCRF) (FSE: RY9) is pleased to announce results from five step-out holes of the Phase Two drill program at the Manhattan District Project, Nevada, USA: 26MN-069 and 26MN-072, see Figure 1. The results are tabulated in Table 1 and discussed below. Scorpio Gold has drilled 84 drill holes to date from its Phase Two diamond drilling program, 25MN-011 through 25MN-045, 26MN-046 through 26MN-094, for a grand total of 24,312 m. With the results herein, Scorpio Gold has reported assays on 75 of these (25MN-011 through 25MN-045 and 26MN-046 through 26MN-076, and 26MN-081), totalling 21,652 m, and assays are pending from 9 holes (26MN-077 through 26MN-080 and 26MN-082 through 26MN-094), totalling 2,660 m. The pending results will be reported as they become available.

Highlights

• Hole 26MN-071 returned:
  • 2.68 g/t gold over 11.34 metres from 0.76 m, including 6.54 g/t gold over 3.41 m from 8.69 m along the Zanzibar Trend.
• Hole 26MN-070 returned:
  • 0.69 g/t gold over 23.23 m from 4.05 m, including 1.61 g/t gold over 8.38 m from 18.9 m along the Zanzibar Trend.
• The Zanzibar Trend has now returned multiple high-grade intercepts across successive step-out holes, including:
  • 25MN-044: 49.62 m grading 3.14 g/t gold (February 19, 2026)
  • 26MN-063: 22.25 m grading 2.09 g/t gold (April 16, 2026)
  • 26MN-067: 10.40 g/t gold over 5.67 m, including 455.52 g/t gold over 0.49 m (May 5, 2026)

“Holes 26MN-070 and 26MN-071 continue to extend the Zanzibar Trend beyond the current Inferred Resource Constraining Pit, with 26MN-071 returning 2.68 g/t gold over 11.34 metres from just 0.76 metres depth — essentially from surface. The near-surface nature of this mineralization is an important characteristic of the Zanzibar Trend that we expect to be meaningful as we evaluate the broader resource potential of this corridor.

As we step out along the Zanzibar Trend, we continue to be encouraged by the grade tenor of this system. Since we began drilling this corridor, we have returned intercepts including 49.62 metres grading 3.14 g/t gold in hole 25MN-044, 22.25 metres grading 2.09 g/t gold in hole 26MN-054, and 10.40 g/t gold over 5.67 metres — including 455.52 g/t gold over 0.49 metres — in hole 26MN-065. The consistency of results across successive step-out holes gives us increasing confidence in the structural continuity of this trend.

With approximately 300 metres of untested strike length still ahead along the Zanzibar Formation, and multiple growth fronts continuing to emerge across the Manhattan District, we believe we are still in the early stages of defining the full scale of what this district has to offer,” said Harrison Pokrandt, VP Exploration for Scorpio Gold.

Drill holes 26MN-070 through 26MN-071 and 26MN-073 through 26MN-074 are 50 m step-outs, along the Zanzibar Trend, to the north of hole 26MN-068, see news release dated May 5, 2026. These drill holes tested new Zanzibar Trend mineralization along the Caldera margin, beyond the Inferred Resource Constraining Pit. Drill hole 26MN-076 is a 50 m step-out, along the Zanzibar Trend, to the north of hole 25MN-044, see news release dated February 19, 2026, and to the north of hole 26MN-068, see news release dated May 5, 2026. This drill hole tested new Zanzibar Trend mineralization along the Caldera margin, beyond the IRCP, see Figures 5 and 6.

Zanzibar Trend Results:
26MN-070: This drill hole tested the Zanzibar Trend associated mineralization, as it trends from the southeast of Goldwedge towards Mustang Hill. The drill hole contains one interval hosted in Ordovician Zanzibar Formation limestone, directly above the stratigraphic contact with Oligocene Round Rock Formation volcanic units (Caldera margin). The interval is 0.69 g/t gold over 23.23 m from 4.05 m, including 1.61 g/t gold over 8.38 m from 18.9 m.

26MN-071: This drill hole also tested the Zanzibar Trend associated mineralization. The drill hole contains two intervals hosted in Ordovician Zanzibar Formation limestone of 2.68 g/t gold over 11.34 m from 0.76 m (surface), including 6.54 g/t gold over 3.41 m from 8.69 m (see Figure 4); and 0.47 g/t gold over 6.89 m from 20.08 m. Below these significant intervals includes minor mineralization scattered throughout the drill hole from ~27.0 m to the Oligocene Round Rock Formation stratigraphic contact at 69.2 m.

All Zanzibar Trend intervals noted represent new mineralization outside the current IRCP, see cross-section A to A’ (Figure 5) and cross-section B to B’ (Figure 6).

26MN-073: This drill hole also tested the Zanzibar Trend associated mineralization. The drill hole contains one interval hosted in Ordovician Zanzibar Formation limestone of 0.97 g/t gold over 1.13 m from 0.55 m, directly above the Oligocene Round Rock Formation stratigraphic contact (Caldera margin).

26MN-074: This drill hole also tested the Zanzibar Trend associated mineralization. The drill hole contains one interval hosted in Ordovician Zanzibar Formation limestone of 0.41 g/t gold over 2.19 m from 1.22 m, directly above a fault zone of the Brougher Fault to the south of the Oligocene Round Rock Formation stratigraphic contact (Caldera margin).

26MN-076: This drill hole also tested the Zanzibar Trend associated mineralization. The drill hole contains one interval hosted in Ordovician Zanzibar Formation limestone of 0.25 g/t gold over 15.74 m from 0 m (surface). Below this significant interval includes minor mineralization scattered throughout the drill hole from ~16.0 m to the Oligocene Round Rock Formation stratigraphic contact at 30.6 m (Caldera margin).

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 quality assurance, 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 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 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 has not done sufficient work to make the Historical MRE current, and the Company is not treating the Historical MRE as current.

The Company encourages readers to exercise appropriate caution when evaluating these data and/or results.
• Mineral Resource Estimate: All scientific and technical information relating to Manhattan pertaining to Maiden MRE contained in this news release is derived from the Technical Report dated April 23, 2026 titled “Mineral Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 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, LG (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 securities 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 Resource 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 from the Technical Report dated May 1997 titled “Exploration and Pre-Production Mine Development, Manhattan District Project, Nye County” prepared by New Concept Mining, Inc.
