ISS International Samuel Exploration Corp

Scorpio Mining Corporation (TSX:SPM) ("Scorpio" or the "Company") announced
today that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") has recommended that
its clients vote FOR all of Scorpio's director nominees using only Scorpio's
WHITE proxy. ISS has also recommended that shareholders do NOT vote using the
blue dissident proxy of Tocqueville Asset Management, L.P.


ISS is a leading independent international corporate governance analysis and
proxy voting firm. ISS recommendations are intended to assist shareholders in
making choices regarding proxy voting decisions. In making its recommendations,
ISS carefully considers the validity of the arguments and the outcome that is in
the best interests of shareholders.


ISS stated that Tocqueville "has not made a compelling case that a change to the
composition of the board is warranted at this time. Shareholder support for the
management slate, therefore, is warranted."


"We are pleased to see this important recommendation from a leading independent
third party proxy advisor in support of the Company's director nominees," said
Ewan D. Mason, Chairman of the Company. "It is now up to the Company's
shareholders to vote in support of our director nominees and send a message to
Tocqueville that shareholders reject Tocqueville's attempt to take control of
Scorpio's Board."
