Emerging WA nickel stock St George Mining (ASX: SGQ) is pleased to announce that drilling has continued to intersect nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at the Mt Alexander Project, located near Leonora in the north-eastern Goldfields. MAD95 was completed to a depth of 70m to test for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation to the west of MAD71 and MAD77 at Stricklands. Visible sulphide mineralisation was observed in MAD95 between 33.1m to 49.2m downhole.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Nickel-copper sulphides intersected in MAD95 which was completed 43m to the west of MAD71 at Stricklands
- Mineralisation at Stricklands remains open towards the west on the edge of the large SAMSON electromagnetic (EM) anomaly
- Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys underway at Stricklands
- Drilling of deep EM targets at Investigators has commenced
Emerging West Australian nickel company St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ) (“St George” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that drilling has continued to intersect nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at the Mt Alexander Project, located near Leonora in the north-eastern Goldfields.
MAD95 was completed to a depth of 70m to test for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation to the west of MAD71 and MAD77 at Stricklands. Visible sulphide mineralisation was observed in MAD95 between 33.1m to 49.2m downhole and comprised the following intervals:
MAD95 was drilled 43m to the west of MAD71 and 20m to the west of MAD77, both of which intersected nickel-copper sulphides, with MAD71 delivering an outstanding intersection of massive nickel-copper sulphides. For further details on MAD71, please see our ASX Release dated 15 December 2017 ‘Assays Confirm Best Ever Intersection at Mt Alexander’.
John Prineas, St George Mining’s Executive Chairman, said:
“The intersection of nickel-copper sulphides in MAD95 indicates that the mineralised ultramafic extends to the west of MAD71 and remains open in the western section of the large SAMSON EM anomaly at Stricklands.
“Drilling in the current programme has been successful in identifying additional high-grade mineralisation in the expansive Stricklands mineral system.
“Further drilling will be planned at Stricklands after the DHEM survey results from the recently completed drill holes are reviewed.”
