St George Mining Ready For Cathedrals SAMSON EM Survey

THE DRILL SERGEANT: St George Mining (ASX: SGQ) is set to commence a SAMSON EM survey at the company’s Mt Alexander project in Western Australia.

St George Mining said the survey was part of a new round of exploration activities and drilling it has scheduled for the project over the coming months.

The high-powered SAMSON EM survey will cover an area comprising a here kilometres strike length of the Cathedrals Belt and an additional one kilometre strike across the Ida Fault.

St George has previously identified a number of magnetic anomalies in the survey area from high resolution magnetic data generated by an airborne magnetic survey it completed George in 2016.

These magnetic anomalies have never been drilled and have been classified as priority exploration targets by the company.

Similar magnetic anomalies along strike at the Investigators, Stricklands and Cathedrals prospects have been confirmed by drilling to represent mineralised ultramafics hosting high grade nickel-copper-cobaltPGE massive sulphides.

“EM surveys have been very successful in identifying massive sulphide mineralisation at Mt Alexander and we are pleased to be commencing the SAMSON survey over the western extension of the Cathedrals Belt,” St George Mining executive chairman John Prineas said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“A drill program at Mt Alexander will commence shortly after the SAMSON survey is completed.”

The upcoming drill program at the Cathedrals Belt is scheduled to commence in October 2017 and will include testing of several new EM conductors as well as further extensional drilling of known mineralisation.

This drill program will also include some deep stratigraphic drill holes to investigate areas beyond the depths St George has drilled at the Cathedrals Belt to date.

The design of these drill holes will be finalised following a review of the data from the SAMSON EM survey.
