St George Mining Turns Attention to Windsor Exploration

THE DRILL SERGEANT: St George Mining (ASX: SGQ) outlined its upcoming exploration program for the Windsor nickel sulphide prospect at the company’s 100 per cent-owned East Laverton project in Western Australia. 

St George Mining completed drilling at the Windsor nickel sulphide prospect earlier this year focused on testing near surface EM (electromagnetic) conductors.

The company explained the drill targets included EM plates modelled with a very high conductivity of +200,000 Siemens located within a thick ultramafic channel where previous drilling intersected high-magnesium oxide ultramafics and magmatic nickel sulphide mineralisation, indicating that the channel is a highly prospective setting for massive nickel sulphides.

St George indicated a SAMSON EM survey is scheduled to commence at Windsor later this month at the Alexander project, once a current EM survey being undertaken over the western extension of the Cathedrals Belt is completed.

The high-powered SAMSON EM survey will search for deep conductors at the basal contact of the Windsor channel and will also provide additional EM data to further model the shallow EM targets at Windsor.

St George expects a follow-up diamond drill program will be scheduled for Windsor once survey results are reviewed and modelling of EM targets is completed.

“The identification of widespread magmatic nickel sulphides within the high-magnesium oxide Windsor ultramafic – together with multiple and still unexplained strong EM conductors – supports the prospectivity of the channel for massive nickel sulphide mineralisation,” St George Mining executive chairman John Prineas said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“We are excited at this next phase of exploration at Windsor.”
