ISSUE OF UNLISTED OPTIONS

St George Mining Limited has today granted the following unlisted options to Mr Matthew McCarthy under the Company's Employee Incentive Option Plan:

  • 100,000 Class B Options expiring 28 November 2014 with an exercise price of $0.25; and
  • 100,000 Class C Options expiring 28 November 2015 with an exercise price of $0.40.

Mr McCarthy, a senior geologist with expertise in nickel exploration, commenced his engagement with St George Mining last month. He joined us from BHP Billiton Nickel West where he was part of the team that made the recent discovery of the significant Venus nickel sulphide deposit at Leinster.

Mr McCarthy also managed the exploration programme under the previous farm‐in arrangement between St George Mining and BHP Billiton Nickel West which made the breakthrough discovery of nickel sulphides at East Laverton in 2012.

St George Mining Executive Chairman, Mr John Prineas, said the Company was very pleased with the recent addition of Mr McCarthy to an already strong technical team.

"St George is undertaking a major nickel exploration campaign at our East Laverton project and it is a big advantage for us to have Matthew, with his specialist knowledge and background, contributing to that campaign."

Further details of the terms and conditions of the options are in the attached Appendix 3B.

For further information, please contact:
