READ: St George Mining identifies further high priority nickel-copper targets at Mt Alexander
Earlier this month the company generated high priority nickel-copper sulphide targets at the Fish Hook prospect within its Mt Alexander project in the north-eastern Goldfields of WA.
The Fisk Hook prospect occurs within the interpreted 8,000-metre eastern extension of the Cathedrals Belt.
A soil survey was carried out at Fish Hook over several prospective magnetic features to test whether geochemical sampling could detect the presence of ultramafic rocks and/or nickel-copper sulphides through the thin cover sequence.

St George Mining executive chairman John Prineas said: “The results from the initial soil survey at Fish Hook are remarkable and support the potential for nickel-copper sulphides at depth.
“The fact that these high value results were returned from an orientation survey is highly encouraging and shows that nickel-copper mineralisation could potentially be widespread along the entire Cathedrals Belt.”
