John Prineas, Executive Chairman of St George Mining , said:

“We are very pleased with the strong goodwill received from new and existing shareholders, and thank all shareholders for their continued support.

“Due to overwhelming interest from existing shareholders who were not able to participate in the private placement, we will launch a share purchase plan next week that will provide existing shareholders with an exclusive opportunity to acquire shares at the same price as shares issued under the private placement.

”Its an exciting time for St George with the upcoming drill programmes at Mt Alexander and East Laverton having potential to be significant near‐term value drivers.”

Share Purchase Plan

The Company will launch a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) on Friday, 1 April 2016 which will allow shareholders registered as holders on 23 March 2016 to acquire shares in St George at the price of $0.085.

The amount to be raised under the SPP will be capped at $255,000 and shares will be allocated on a first‐ come first‐served basis. The SPP will close on 15 April 2016. Full details of the SPP will be announced on 1 April 2016.

Private Placement

The Company has allotted 27,169,591 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.085 to raise a total of $2,309,415.

After the allotment of the above securities, the Company has the following listed securities on issue:
