Vancouver, November 27, 2015 - Scorpio Gold Corporation ('Scorpio Gold' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: SGN) is pleased to announce its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 ('Q3').

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

Peter Hawley, CEO, comments, 'After three strong quarters of production at Mineral Ridge in 2015, Scorpio Gold remains on track to meet its forecast of 38,000 to 40,000 ounces gold produced for the current year. In the face of the ongoing decline in gold prices, the Company continues to deliver positive adjusted financial results while decreasing its total cost per ounce produced. The Company expects a strong fourth quarter and as a result expects to be in the upper range of its guidance for ounces produced and in the lower end of guidance for total cash cost per ounce produced. The Company continues to look at lowering any cost metrics that will not affect operational excellence.'
