St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ) has obtained further positive results from the extension and infill drill programme underway at its flagship high-grade nickel-copper-PGE Mt Alexander Project, located in the northern Goldfields of Western Australia.
Hole MAD210 was completed by diamond drilling to test an EM conductor (22,500 Siemens) at Stricklands. The drill hole intersected nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation from 102.7m to 106.3m downhole, confirming further mineralisation approximately 35m to the west of the existing mineralised envelope for the Stricklands Deposit.
Executive Chairman, John Prineas, said the mineralised intercept in MAD210 together with the result of MAD209 – which intersected nickel-copper sulphides from 112.9m to 118.1m downhole – confirm that the Stricklands Deposit is open to the west, north and north-west with potential for further drilling to delineate additional mineralisation.
“The expansion drill programme is designed to extend the footprint of the four shallow, high-grade discoveries in the Cathedrals Belt – Stricklands, Cathedrals, Investigators and Radar,” Mr Prineas said.
“MAD210 has again shown that this near surface mineralisation remains open and that extensional drilling can increase the volume of mineralisation to be considered for inclusion in a potential mineral resource.
“The ongoing results are very encouraging and we look forward to continuing the diamond and reverse circulation expansion drill programme.”
Expansion Programme
Hole MAD210 was completed to a downhole depth of 162.4m and is located 35m to the west of the current mineralised envelope for the Stricklands Deposit and 35m to the south-west of MAD209 – which was the first expansion drill hole in the current programme and which also intersected nickel-copper sulphides.
MAD210 intersected the same mineralised intrusive unit up-dip to MAD209 – confirming the extension of the interpreted mineralised intrusive at Stricklands.
The success of MAD209 and MAD210 confirms that mineralisation at Stricklands continues and remains open to the west, north and north-west.
