St George Mining Ltd (ASX:SGQ) continues to find evidence of high-grade nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at its Investigators Prospect within its Mt Alexander Project, Western Australia.
A further six drill holes have been completed since hole MAD127 identified extensions to the mineralised channel at Investigators.
Earlier this month, hole MAD127 revealed a 6.39-metre massive sulphide interval from 184.42 metres depth with average XRF readings of 8.03% nickel and 5.06% copper.

St George’s executive chairman John Prineas said: “MAD126 and MAD127 intersected thick massive sulphides at Investigators with outstanding preliminary XRF values for nickel and copper. Laboratory assays are expected shortly.
“In the meantime, we are focused on scoping out the scale of the discovery at Investigators with drilling continuing 24/7.
“Additional intersections of nickel-copper sulphides have now confirmed extensions to the mineralised ultramafic both laterally and at depth in the northerly down-dip direction.
“These ongoing strong drill results are a credit to the St George exploration team and further boosts our confidence in the three high-grade nickel-copper sulphide discoveries – Investigators, Cathedrals and Stricklands – which lie along a 4.5-kilometre stretch of the Cathedrals Belt.”
