St George Releases Interim Drill Results from East Laverton

St George Mining Ltd. (ASX:SGQ) announced interim drill results from drilling at DHEM plate WINRC016_v1 (210,469 Siemens), located at the Windsor nickel sulfide prospect at its Western Australia-based East Laverton project.
Highlights include:

Drill hole WINDD004, which was designed to test the highly conductive DHEM plate WINRC016_v1, has been completed to a depth of 151m.  The hole has intersected thick ultramafic between 65‐151m (end of hole). Importantly, the ultramafic intersected by WINDD004 has been identified as spinifex‐textured komatiite, which occurs with high grade massive nickel sulphide deposits in the Agnew‐Wiluna belt as well as at Kambalda and Windarra.
Elevated nickel values were recorded by portable XRF analysis of the drill core at and around the modelled depth of the EM plate. The highest spot values from portable XRF analysis were 0.55%Ni at 96m and 0.59%Ni at 115m down hole.   A conclusive determination of the nickel content will be confirmed when laboratory assays are available.
There was no conductive material observed in the drill core capable of providing the extremely high EM response that was modelled for DHEM plate WINRC016_v1 (210,469 Siemens). WINDD004 appears to have come close to testing the conductive source but has not intersected it.

John Prineas, executive chairman of St George, commented:

The results from WINDD004 are very encouraging.
The identification of spinifex‐textured komatiite in combination with elevated nickel values proximal to a powerful EM conductor, is a compelling scenario for potential massive nickel sulphide mineralisation.
