TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 1998--Scorpion Minerals (TSE:SCP.) Scorpion Minerals
Inc. ("Scorpion") (TSE-SCP) is pleased to announce that ongoing exploration results from the
Sampanahan Property have confirmed the discovery of a potential high grade vein system
called the Hapungu Vein System prospect (see figure attached). Said Mr. Phil Petrie, Project
Manager, "it is thought that a series of structurally controlled mineralized vein systems could be
developed along a 2.5 km belt. Currently we have identified three sub parallel veins and shears
70 m apart with an indicated strike length of 200 - 250 m. It is possible that additional high or low
grade veins and fissures may be developed between these veins". The veins are up to 5 m in
width and characterized by outcrop samples of gossan and quartz sulphide assaying up to 110
g/t Au over individual 1 m rock chip samples. Gossan float samples have assayed over 200g/t
Au.

Drilling of the first of four planned holes at Hapungu commenced today. Selected significant
anomalous results are provided in the table attached.

Scorpion currently has 21,589,238 shares outstanding and cash of approximately $12.9 million.
