EARLY START FOR DIAMOND DRILLING OF NEW SEISMIC TARGETS AT MT ALEXANDERHIG

HIGHLIGHTS

• Start of 2022 diamond drill programme has been brought forward, with the drill rig now scheduled to arrive at Mt Alexander on or about 6 January 2022
• First target to be drilled will be seismic target S1, followed by seismic target S2
• Both seismic targets have a geophysical signature in the seismic data that is consistent with that recorded for massive nickel-copper sulphides intercepted at shallow depths at the Investigators Prospect

Growth-focused Western Australian nickel company St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ) ("St George" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling at its flagship high-grade Mt Alexander Project, located in the north-eastern Goldfields, will resume in early January 2022 – much earlier than initially planned.

John Prineas, St George Mining's Executive Chairman, said:

"We are delighted to be able to bring forward the start date for the 2022 diamond drill programme at Mt Alexander.

"S1 and S2 are excellent targets for significant nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation, and we do not want to waste any time in drilling these targets.

"We thank DDH1 Drilling for its support in making a drill rig available so early in the New Year.

"On behalf of the Board, I wish our shareholders and service providers a safe and happy festive season. We look forward to a very exciting 2022."

SEISMIC TARGETS

The recently acquired seismic data has been effective in defining the complex intrusive network in the area surveyed around the Cathedrals Belt. The deep structures identified are indicative of a large mineral system with potential to host significant volumes of mineralisation.

Modelling and interpretation of the seismic data by independent seismic experts has resulted in the identification of two priority seismic targets for massive nickel-copper sulphides – S1 and S2. Interpretation of the data is continuing and further exploration targets may be identified.

S1 is located down-dip from, and within the same structure that hosts extensive massive nickel-copper sulphides drilled at Investigators. S1 is modelled with a dip-extent of 450m at 800m below surface.

S2 is situated in the underexplored Transits Belt structure to the north of the Cathedrals Belt. S2 is modelled with a dip-extent of 400m and located 350m below surface.

Both S1 and S2 are located within Exploration Licence E29/548 (100% St George).

DRILLING AT MT ALEXANDER

2021 Drilling Programme: Drill hole MAD205 is the final hole to be completed in 2021. The hole was drilled to 622.2m. Intrusive mafic rocks were intersected between 556.9m to 571.77m downhole. The remainder of the hole intersected mainly granite rocks. No sulphide mineralisation was observed in the drill core.

Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys were completed this month at drill holes recently completed at Jailbreak – MARC150 and MARC151. Results are pending. There was insufficient time to complete DHEM surveys at diamond holes MAD203, MAD204 and MAD205. These surveys will be completed next month.

2022 Drilling Programme: A diamond drill rig is scheduled to mobilise to Mt Alexander on or about 6 January 2022, at least three weeks earlier than initially expected. The first two targets to be drilled will be S1 and S2, in that order.

Additional targets will be added to the programme subject to drill results and ongoing modelling of the seismic data.

COVID-19:

St George continues to manage its operations in compliance with COVID-19 regulations issued by State and Commonwealth authorities. We proactively manage drilling and other field programmes to protect the health and safety of our team and service providers.

ASX / MEDIA RELEASE

Border restrictions in Western Australia and elsewhere have impacted the movement of personnel for drill rig crews, which is constraining the availability of drill rigs. St George is in close contact with its drilling contractors to best manage access and continuity to drilling services.

About the Mt Alexander Project:

The Mt Alexander Project is located 120km south-southwest of the Agnew-Wiluna Belt, which hosts numerous world-class nickel deposits. The Project comprises six granted exploration licences – E29/638, E29/548, E29/962, E29/954, E29/972 and E29/1041 – which are a contiguous package. A seventh granted exploration licence – E29/1093 – is located to the south-east of the core tenement package.

The Cathedrals, Stricklands, Investigators and Radar nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE discoveries are located on E29/638, which is held in joint venture by St George (75%) and Western Areas Limited (25%). St George is the Manager of the Project, with Western Areas retaining a 25% non-contributing interest in the Project (in regard to E29/638 only) until there is a decision to mine. All other Project tenements are owned 100% by St George.

RC Sampling: Samples are taken on a one metre basis and collectedusing uniquely numbered calico bags. The remaining material for thatmetre is collected and stored in a green plastic bag marked with thatspecific metre interval. The cyclone is cleaned with compressed airafter each plastic and calico sample bag is removed. If wet sample orclays are encountered then the cyclone is opened and cleanedmanually and with the aid of a compressed air gun.

Reported assay intersections are length and density weighted.Significant intersections are determined using both qualitative (i.e.geological logging) and quantitative (i.e. lower cut‐off) methods.For massive sulphide intersections, the nominal lower cut‐off is 2%for either nickel or copper. For disseminated, blebby and matrixsulphide intersections the nominal lower cut‐off for nickel is 0.3%.
	Where aggregated intercepts incorporate shortlengths of high grade results and longer lengthsof low grade results, the procedure used forsuchaggregation should be stated and some typicalexamples ofsuch aggregationsshould be shownin detail.	Any high‐grade sulphide intervals internal to broader zones ofsulphide mineralisation are reported as included intervals.Any disseminated, matrix, brecciated or stringer sulphides with(usually) >1% nickel or copper on contact with massive sulphidemineralisation are grouped with the massive sulphides forcalculating significant intersections.
	The assumptions used for any reporting ofmetal equivalent values should be clearlystated.	No metal equivalent values are used for reporting explorationresults.
Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths	These relationships are particularly important inthe reporting of exploration results. If thegeometry of the mineralisation with respect tothe drill hole angle is known, its nature shouldbe reported. If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect.	Assay intersections are reported as down hole lengths. Drill holes areplanned as perpendicular as possible to intersect the target EM platesand geological targets so downhole lengths are usually interpreted tobe near true width.
