HIGHLIGHTS
Mt Alexander Project
· Major Reverse Circulation (RC) drill programme commenced at Mt Alexander during the quarter
· Drilling has successfully identified new zones of nickel sulphide mineralisation and increased the potential scale of the mineralised envelope at the Cathedrals Belt
· Drilling results to date include:
· More massive and disseminated nickel-copper sulphides intersected at the Investigators, Stricklands and Cathedrals Prospects as part of an infill and extensional drill programme to support resource definition
· All drill holes completed in the first ever drilling of the interpreted mineralised contact at the Fairbridge Prospect have intersected the mineralised Cathedrals structure, supporting the potential for nickel-copper sulphides below the numerous nickel-copper sulphide gossans identified over a 1km strike
· All drill holes completed in the first ever drilling at the West End Prospect intersected the mineralised Cathedrals structure, supporting the potential for high-grade mineralisation in the western extension of the Cathedrals Belt towards the major Ida Fault
· Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys identify numerous strong off-hole EM conductors for testing in the upcoming diamond drill programme
Corporate
· St George secures loan facilities of USD4million and AUD1million
