St. George Plans Deep Search Electromagnetic Survey

St George Mining Ltd (ASX:SGQ) has planned a fixed loop electromagnetic survey for the Cathedrals Belt within the Mt Alexander Project located in Western Australia.
According to the press release:

The FLEM survey has been designed by our geophysical consultants at Newexco and will use the deep penetrating SAMSON system developed by GAP Geophysics. The primary objective of the new survey is to identify any deep conductors in the Cathedrals Belt below the depth of detection of previous EM surveys. The new survey is designed on a 100m x 50m grid and will also detect shallow EM conductors either associated with known mineralisation or any new conductors.
The SAMSON system was developed for exploration of highly conductive ore bodies like nickel and copper sulphide deposits. The system uses a high powered transmitter and will deliver twice the depth penetration typically achieved by the conventional EM surveys undertaken at the Cathedrals Belt so far.
The very high success rate of EM targeting at the Cathedrals Belt makes the deep search EM survey a highly attractive exploration tool. St George Mining Executive Chairman, John Prineas said: “The combination of EM and geological modelling to generate targets in the Cathedrals Belt has achieved an outstanding hit rate for discovering massive nickel-copper sulphides.
“We are now taking our EM surveys to another level with the use of deep search techniques that will investigate for mineralisation at depths not yet explored.
“This initiative provides an opportunity to potentially identify new exploration targets in the highly mineralised Cathedrals Belt.”
