The company raised A$6.47 million from sophisticated and institutional investors to accelerate exploration at the Mt Alexander high grade nickel-copper sulphide project.
The latest drilling at Mt Alexander has confirmed favourable geology for massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.
The successful drilling at Cathedrals and Stricklands has significantly increased the nickel-copper sulphide system at Mt Alexander. This could be substantially expanded by the imminent drilling at the Investigators Prospect.
Nine of the ten targets to be drilled are located within the Cathedrals Belt, where every EM conductor drilled to date has been demonstrated to be nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.
St George’s discovery of massive nickel-copper sulphides at Stricklands is important in the evolving exploration model at Mt Alexander. It also confirms that the high grade mineral system in the Cathedrals Belt is much more extensive
Investigators is located in the Cathedrals fault zone, and directly along strike from the Stricklands and Cathedrals Prospects where high grade nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation has already been discovered.
Highlights include: 1.17 metres at 8.75% nickel, 3.37% copper, 0.24% cobalt and 6.16g/t total PGEs from 30.17 metres. More assays are pending, which will be followed by a new drilling program.
Assay results will provide a conclusive determination on the relationship between the favourable alteration encountered and the possible gold content.
Drilling at Mt Alexander is scheduled to re-commence in the last week of June 2016, while drilling of gold targets at East Laverton has been brought forward and will commence next week.
The discovery of massive nickel-copper sulphides in the first ever drill program at Stricklands illustrates the strong potential that exists for additional new discoveries at Mt Alexander.
