Re: News Releases - Thursday, July 03, 2008 Title: Scorpio's Drilling on 9th Level of the Main Zone Reports 5.80 metres grading 308 g/t Silver, 11.52% Zinc, 1.73% Copper, 4.83% Lead and 0.192 g/t Gold at the Nuestra Senora Project, Sinaloa State, Mexico
Vancouver, July 3, 2008 - Scorpio Mining Corporation (TSX:SPM) is pleased to announce additional underground drill results, including a wide zone of mineralization, from the 9th Level of the Nuestra Senora deposit at the 100% owned Nuestra Senora project, Sinaloa State, Mexico.
Peter J. Hawley, Chairman, CEO reports, "Hole NS9L-08-132 is another example of the robust nature of mineralization in the Nuestra Senora Main Zone and its seven satellite zones that have been discovered peripheral to the underground development. This hole targeted the center of the mineralization. The other results reported below continue to define the shape and extent of the mineralization."
The underground drill holes presented in Table 1 were drilled from the 9th Level (approximately 160 metres below surface) as part of the ongoing program to define the extent of the mineralization for mine planning and upgrading of mineral resources.
