St George Mining (ASX:SGQ) has accelerated exploration at the Windsor nickel sulphide prospect, which is located in the wholly-owned East Laverton Property in Western Australia.
In 2012 BHP Billiton Nickel West discovered nickel sulphides at Windsor, with drilling highlights including: 30 metres at 0.31% nickel from 108 metres, including 8 metres at 0.44% nickel and 2 metres at 0.62% nickel.
Nickel sulphide mineralisation is within a large and highly prospective komatiite ultramafic unit with a strike length over 2 kilometres which is largely untested.
St George completed six drill holes at Windsor in 2014, and all six holes intersected the prospective komatiite with five holes intersecting nickel sulphides.
Assays included: 4 metres at 0.41% nickel from 280 metres, and 2 metres at 0.58% nickel from 286 metres.
There will be new assays in coming months, as over 4000 metres of high impact reverse circulation drilling is planned at Windsor.
John Prineas, executive chairman, commented:
“What is very attractive about Windsor is the exceptional hit rate of mineralisation in the limited drilling to date.
“It’s staggering to have such consistent results. It demonstrates that the Windsor ultramafic has significant nickel sulphide mineralisation and a high probability of hosting massive nickel sulphides.
“We are excited to be drilling again at Windsor where all the exploration data is telling us that we have a tremendous opportunity for a breakthrough discovery.”
