St George Mining Ltd (ASX:SGQ) has completed a private placement of ordinary shares that has raised $6.47 million of funding for its exploration projects in Western Australia.
The placement included circa 43.2 million shares at $0.15 with one for five free attaching option exercisable at $0.20 on or before 30 June 2017.
St George has recently been on a massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation discovery streak at the Mt Alexander Project.
The project is located 120 kilometres south‐southwest of the Agnew-Wiluna belt which hosts numerous world class nickel deposits.
In 2008, BHP Billiton (ASX:BHP) discovered massive nickel-copper sulphides at Mt Alexander, but then it remained under-explored until it was acquired by St George.
The project is in a favourable location for infrastructure.

The project is located near the two most recent world-class gold discoveries in Western Australia, being the plus 8 million gold ounce Tropicana, and the plus 6 million gold ounce Gruyere.
