St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ ) (‘St George Mining’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to confirm that it will be participating in the Exploration Development Incentive (EDI) for the tax year ending 30 June 2017.

RECORD DATE FOR ELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS
For St George shareholders to receive an EDI tax credit, they must be registered as holding ordinary shares in the Company as at 6pm (WST) on Wednesday, 31 May 2017 .
Eligible shareholders will be notified of the EDI tax credit applicable to them by Computershare, which operates the St George share register. The tax credit will be available for use by Australian resident shareholders in the 2016/2017 tax year.
The Company currently has 250,359,725 shares on issue, equating to an EDI tax credit of $0.003 per share based on the total EDI tax credits of $768,164.
Any shares issued upon exercise of options prior to the Record Date will be eligible for the EDI tax credit, and will impact on the final amount of the EDI tax credit distributed per share.
