August
10, 2026 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Scorpio Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SGN, OTCQB: SRCRF, FSE: RY9) (“Scorpio
Gold”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from four step-out holes of the Phase
Two drill program at the Manhattan District Project (“Manhattan”), Nevada, USA: 26MN-109, 26MN-111, 26MN-112,
and 26MN-114, see Figure 1. The results are tabulated in Table 1 and discussed below. Scorpio Gold has drilled 109
drill holes to date from its Phase Two diamond drilling program, 25MN-011 through 25MN-045, 26MN-046 through 26MN-119, for a grand
total of 31,391 m. With the results herein, Scorpio Gold has reported assays on 103 of these (25MN-011 through 25MN-045,
26MN-046 through 26MN-112, and 26MN-114, totalling 29,156 m, and assays are pending from 6 holes (26MN-113, 26MN-115 through
26MN-119), totalling 2,236 m. The pending results will be reported as they become available.
In
addition to the Phase Two drill program, the Company is reviewing historic core that is available at Manhattan and analyzing any
historic core and pulps for silver. This new silver data from historic materials is supplementary to silver data that has been
collecting since 2024 on new core drilled by the Company. Silver, or a gold equivalent (“AuEq”), has not been used
or included in any results to date. Any new significant results from historic core or pulps will be reported as they become available.
"We
continue to deliver solid grade hole after hole at Manhattan, and 26MN-109 demonstrates that not only are the Paleozoic rocks
hosting mineralization, but the Volcanics of the Manhattan Caldera have mineralization potential, with grades of 3.38 g/t gold
over 33.31 metres. While these volcanic units were typically dismissed by previous operators, USGS dating shows the Volcanics
were formed well before the mineralization was emplaced, which adds more targets to the Manhattan District.
The
volcanic contact near Goldwedge is now its own defined target. Hole 26MN-109 is a 50-metre step-out that carried mineralization
through four separate intervals, including 2.83 g/t gold over 11.89 metres and 9.46 g/t gold over 8.72 metres and 0.68 g/t gold
over 12.62 metres from 177.21 metres entirely within fractured volcanics with vein-hosted mineralization. Testing the Volcanic
contact and the ground beyond it is the next step for Goldwedge," said Harrison Pokrandt, VP Exploration for Scorpio
Gold.

for the drill intercepts reported.
Goldwedge
Results:
26MN-109:
This drill hole contains four significant intervals hosted within Ordovician Zanzibar Formation faulted and brecciated limestones.
The first interval of 0.22 g/t gold over 22.25 m from 18.59 m has multiple feeder faults noted through the interval. The second
interval of 0.33 g/t gold over 8.63 m from 73.21 m contains carbonaceous fault gouge at the start of the interval with strong
brecciation and veining below. The third and fourth intervals of 2.83 g/t gold over 11.89 m from 97.08 m and 9.46 g/t
gold over 8.72 m from 126.00 m contain fault breccia’s throughout, with feeder structures within their respective intervals.
The headline interval is hosted within Cambrian Gold Hill Formation marbles, to 167.79 m, and Manhattan Caldera volcanics (“Volcanics”)
for the remainder of the interval (to 172.21 m). This interval of 3.38 g/t gold over 33.31 m from 138.90 m, including 6.90
g/t gold over 12.89 m from 138.90 m, is strongly faulted and brecciated throughout, with stronger silicification near the
top of the interval (Figure 3) and an increase in fault gouge near the bottom. A final interval of 0.68 g/t gold over 12.62
m from 177.21 m sits entirely within strongly fractured Volcanics, with vein-hosted mineralization. See cross-section A to A’
(Figure 4).

Gap
Zone Results:
26MN-112:
This drill hole contains three intervals within the Cambrian Gold Hill Formation. The first interval of 0.28 g/t gold over 16.46
m from 43.28 m is hosted in veins and breccias within both fine grained clastic meta-sediments (“Muds”) and marble.
The later two intervals of 0.26 g/t gold over 8.23 m from 106.68 m and 0.95 g/t gold over 3.2 m from 128.93 m are both hosted
within Muds with vein-hosted mineralization.
Zanzibar
Trend Results:
26MN-111:
This drill hole contains four intervals within the Cambrian Gold Hill Formation. The first interval of 1.20 g/t gold over 5.43
m from 49.37 m is hosted within silicified marble and transitions to Muds, from 50.02 m to 51.97 m (Figure 5). Strong epithermal
breccia and veining is noted at this lithological contact in the middle of the interval. The second interval of 0.92 g/t gold
over 5.43 m from 59.19 m is like the first, with marble noted until 59.86 m followed by a brecciated gouge fault contact with
Muds below. Mineralization is again concentrated at the faulted lithological contact. The later two intervals of 0.42 g/t gold
over 10.36 m from 110.34 m and 0.51 g/t gold over 4.57 m from 152.71 m are hosted in strongly silicified Muds. Both intervals
contain feeder veins and faults.
26MN-114:
This drill hole contains six intervals within the Cambrian Gold Hill Formation. The first interval of 0.21 g/t gold over 8.78
m from 64.19 m is vein hosted within Muds and sits directly above a lithological contact with a marble unit. The second interval
of 3.80 g/t gold over 0.59 m from 84.80 m is a single sample with mineralization hosted in a fault within marble. The third interval
of 15.28 g/t gold over 2.56 m from 94.27 m is hosted in breccia and veins within Muds and sits directly below a lithological
contact with a marble unit. The fourth and fifth intervals of 0.98 g/t gold over 23.20 m from 112.13 m, including 5.11 g/t gold
over 3.38 m from 112.13 m, and 5.50 g/t gold over 1.55 m from 159.90 m are entirely within Muds units. The fourth interval has
an increase in brecciation and veining from the above intervals with a subtle increase in clay alteration with depth. The fifth
interval is also brecciated with silica-rich shear textures noted near the bottom of the interval above a faulted lithological
change. The final interval of 2.00 g/t gold over 4.72 m from 171.76 m is within a brecciated marble unit, with both mid-interval
and end of interval gouge faults concentrating mineralization. See cross-section B to B’ (Figure 6).

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 Elko, NV, MSALABS 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 10% of the run of samples. Samples were analyzed for gold using
a two-cycle PhotonAssayTM analysis method (~500 g) of crushed material (70% passing 2 mm). All MSALABS 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 (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.

| ● | Mineral
Resource Estimate (MRE): 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 (with an effective date of June 4, 2025) titled
“Mineral Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report” (the “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
