St George Mining encounters more Cathedrals massive sulphides

THE DRILL SERGEANT: St George Mining (ASX: SGQ) announced the intersection of additional massive nickel‐copper sulphide mineralisation at the Cathedrals prospect within the company’s Mt Alexander project in Western Australia.

St George completed hole MAD35 to a downhole depth of 95.4m, intersecting:

4.18 metres, from 60 to 64.18m, of ultramafic with disseminated, blebby and some stringer sulphides; and

1.86m, from 64.18 to 66.04m, of massive sulphides (average XRF values of 8.3 per cent nickel, 3.6 per cent copper) and then 15cm of ultramafic with stringer sulphides on contact with granite.

St George explained the intersection of massive nickel‐copper sulphides in MAD35 to be down‐dip from both previous holes MAD15 and MAD16, with mineralisation open to the north.

“With high grades of nickel, copper, cobalt and PGEs already confirmed at Cathedrals, we are very pleased to see more massive nickel‐copper sulphides being identified in this area,” St George Mining executive chairman John Prineas said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The Cathedrals ultramafic extends for over 400 metres and remains underexplored.

“The latest drilling success provides confidence that ongoing infill and extensional drilling at Cathedrals will continue to identify further nickel‐copper mineralisation.”

St George drilled hole MAD35 to test an off‐hole EM conductor identified from a DHEM survey completed in MAD16 in May.

MAD16 intersected approximately 9.5m of the Cathedrals ultramafic from 51.7m including an interval of 2.25m at 1.05 per cent nickel, 0.31 per cent copper and 1.14g/t PGEs from 59m.

St George indicated it intends to carry out a DHEM survey in MAD35 to investigate the potential for further mineralisation around this drill hole.
