Scorpio Gold Announces Sonic Drilling and Metallurgical Program to Evaluate Reprocessing Opportunity at Manhattan
Scorpio Gold has engaged SLR International to design and execute a sonic drilling and metallurgical test work program at its 100%-owned Manhattan District in Nevada, evaluating four historic surface facilities — heap leach pad, tailings, waste dump, and low-grade stockpile — for reprocessing potential. Phase 1 comprises approximately 35 vertical sonic drill holes sampled on 0.5 to 1.0m intervals, with head characterization work (gold and silver assays, LECO sulfur, cyanide shake testing) to test whether the material suits toll milling at operating mills within trucking distance.
