St George Mining Updates Drilling at East Laverton

THE DRILL SERGEANT: St George Mining (ASX: SGQ) provided a progress report on drilling being undertaken at the company’s 100 per cent-owned East Laverton project in Western Australia.

St George Mining said Dimond drill hole WINDD005, at the Windsor nickel sulphide target, has been completed to a downhole depth of 150 metres.

The company explained the hole was drilled to test a highly-conductive DHEM plate with high conductivity of 210,000 siemens modelled at 95m downhole.

WINDD005 intersected a thick ultramafic unit from 61m to 142m downhole, however St George said there appeared to be no material in the drill core that could explain the highly conductive EM target.

A DHEM survey completed in WINDD005 recorded two strong off‐hole EM responses– one at 62m downhole and the other at 100m downhole.

St George has had two DHEM plates modelled for follow‐up testing, and drilling of these targets has commenced.

“The DHEM survey data at Windsor suggests that there are a number of conductive sources in the target area and this adds complexity to the modelling of EM plates,” St George Mining executive chairman John Prineas said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“Our exploration model still strongly favours the presence of massive nickel sulphide mineralisation at Windsor and we are pleased the new EM targets provide immediate follow‐up drilling.”
