Vancouver, April 10th, 2007 - Scorpio Mining Corporation (TSX:SPM) is pleased to report that the construction of the high tension line that will supply electricity to the Nuestra Señora Silver - Zinc Project is well advanced.
Peter J. Hawley, Chairman, CEO reports, "Approval for the construction of a 33,000-volt electrical line connecting the Nuestra Señora Project with the Comedero Hydro Electric Dam, situated 26 kilometres west of Cosalá, was granted by the Mexican Comisión Federal de Electricidad in early March. The first pole was erected immediately following the signing of the agreement, and by the end of the month, 50% of the 400 poles had been erected and the first kilometre of transmission line installed. Completion of the 34-kilometre line is expected by the end of July 2007. The line will also supply several communities located in the project area with electricity. The speed and efficiency with which this agreement was negotiated and construction commenced is owing to the excellent cooperation the Company received from the Municipality of Cosalá, the State of Sinaloa and federal agencies."
