St George Mining Begins Drilling at East Laverton Project

St George Mining Ltd. (ASX:SGQ) announced the start of its 2016 drill campaign at the Western Australia-based East Laverton project. The first phase of the campaign will be a 3,500-meter reverse-circulation drill program that will test multiple nickel sulfide, base metals and gold targets.
As quoted in the press release:

Two further drill programmes are currently being planned for East Laverton. One programme will be a gold‐ focused RC drill programme that will test priority gold targets at East Laverton, including the high‐ranking Ascalon gold prospect.
The second programme will be a diamond drill programme that will follow‐up on priority nickel sulphide targets at East Laverton, including the massive nickel sulphide target at Windsor that was recently tested by drill hole WINDD0004 (DHEM plate WINRC016_v1 – 210,469 Siemens).

John Prineas, executive chairman of St George Mining, commented:

Its very pleasing to be back on the ground at East Laverton and to have the drill rig in action again.
We have a very attractive pipeline of nickel sulphide and gold targets at East Laverton, with three exciting drill programmes already planned for early 2016.
A separate announcement will be made later this week regarding the Hawaii and Mt Alexander Projects where we will also be starting exploration and drilling programmes as soon as possible.
We are optimistic that our systematic exploration at these projects will deliver a significant discovery in 2016.
