Scorpio Gold Corporation reported production results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the quarter, the company reported gold ounces produced of 10,089 ounces and silver of 4,325 ounces representing increases of 16% and 20% over second quarter of 2015 production levels. The increased metal production is primarily attributed to higher crusher throughput, resulting in increased recoverable ounces placed on the heap leach pad and expected improvement in leach pad recoveries, as previously reported.

For the six months, gold production produced 18,597 ounces, a decrease of 10% from 20,690 ounces a year ago.

The Company's 2016 production forecast remains unchanged at 30,000 to 35,000 ounces of gold.
