St George Mining Starts Drilling at Hawaii Project

St George Mining Ltd. (ASX:SGQ) announced that it’s started an initial drill program at its Western Australia-based Hawaii project, which it acquired from BHP Billiton Nickel West Pty Ltd. recently.
Highlights are as follows:

• Maiden drilling programme begins at the new Hawaii Project
• First ever drilling of the bedrock geology
• Four priority targets on two magnetic trends to be tested
• Opportunity for a discovery in prospective but underexplored area

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

The initial shallow drilling by Nickel West identified the presence of prospective ultramafics and we now have an opportunity to effectively test the bedrock with our deeper RC drilling.
This is a milestone drilling programme that has the potential to deliver a significant exploration breakthrough.
With high impact nickel sulphide drilling also underway at our East Laverton Project, we have several outstanding opportunities for drilling success over the next few weeks.
