St George Mining Ltd (ASX:SGQ) is planning further drilling at the Mt Alexander Project in Western Australia to follow up on the recent massive nickel-copper sulphide intersections.
Downhole electromagnetic surveys are now being carried out in all drill holes completed to date in the current drill program to identify further mineralisation around the drill holes.
Additional drill holes are currently being designed at the Stricklands Prospect, to follow-up on the recent significant intersection of magmatic nickel-copper sulphides.

The mineralisation is open to the west and north, and is associated with strong electromagnetic anomalies that remain largely untested in this area.
A strong magnetic anomaly also covers this area, which is likely to represent prospective ultramafic stratigraphy.
The diamond drill rig at site will continue drilling at Mt Alexander 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the Christmas break.
Meanwhile, a second drill rig has arrived at St George’s East Laverton Project to drill three, strong latetime conductors at the Windsor nickel sulphide prospect.

John Prineas, executive chairman, commented: “The thickness of the ultramafic and the nickel-copper sulphides intersected at Stricklands is supportive of further significant mineralisation being intersected at this prospect.
“The target area for further drilling is to the west and north of MAD71 where the SAMSON and SQUID EM anomalies remain largely untested and a strong magnetic anomaly also indicates further prospective ultramafics.
“We are excited to be able to fast-track this follow-up drilling to the significant intersection in MAD71”.
