St George Mining (ASX:SGQ) continues exploration at speed at its wholly-owned East Laverton Project in Western Australia.
A diamond and a reverse circulation rig are now onsite to drill EM targets in prospective geological positions - providing continued assay newsflow towards the end of 2015 - and into early 2016.
John Prineas, executive chairman, commented:
“The drilling of strong conductors in favourable geological features has commenced at East Laverton.
“These are all ‘must drill’ targets and with two drill rigs operating simultaneously, we have an excellent opportunity to deliver exploration success.”
Details on the drilling
A diamond core drill rig arrived at site over the weekend and has commenced drilling planned drill hole DDRDD0009 to test the very strong downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) conductor DDRDD0005-DHEM2 (61,148 Siemens) at Desert Dragon Central.
The hole is planned to a depth of 390 metres with the DHEM plate modelled at a depth of a 355 metre downhole.
This drill hole was initially planned as a reverse circulation drill hole.
Once drill hole DDRDD0009 is completed, the diamond rig will mobilise to Windsor to drill planned hole WINDD004 to test the extremely strong DHEM plate WINRC016_v1 (210,469 Siemens).
The reverse circulation drill rig is currently at Desert Dragon North where it is drilling planned hole DDNRC010 to test the ‘North Dragon 1’ DHEM conductor (2,916 Siemens).
The drill hole is planned to a depth of 370 metres with the DHEM plate modelled at a 300 metre downhole, below and north of a mineralised ultramafic where nickel sulphide stringers have been intersected.
