QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2015

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Very strong, late‐time EM conductors identified at Desert Dragon

  • Pipeline of high quality targets is established for 2015 drilling program

  • Assays results from 2014 drilling program confirm high tenor komatiite hosted nickel sulphide mineralisation at Windsor

  • Technical review by global nickel expert endorses East Laverton as potential new nickel camp

St George Mining Limited ( ASX:SGQ ) (“St George Mining”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the quarterly period ended 31 March 2015.

EAST LAVERTON PROPERTY

Outstanding EM Conductors Identified at Desert Dragon

The moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey recently completed by Newexco at the Desert Dragon and Aphrodite prospects has identified several strong EM conductors that are high priority targets for test drilling.

At Desert Dragon Central, two powerful EM conductors with time decay and conductance properties that are consistent with massive nickel sulphides have been identified. The EM conductors are named Target 4 and Target 5.

At Target 4, the EM conductor is a late time anomaly that has a time constant of 190ms and a conductance of 3500 Siemens.

At Target 5, the EM conductor has an exceptional time constant of 443ms and a very strong conductance of 4900 Siemens. This EM response is indicative of a very thick conductive body.

Importantly, these EM conductors also have favourable geological and structural features that significantly support these targets as potential massive nickel sulphides.

The EM conductors are modelled on the margin of the high‐MgO ultramafic channel that hosts the nickel sulphide mineralisation intersected in drill hole DRAC35, which was completed by BHP Billiton Nickel West in 2012 (Figure 1). The presence of known nickel sulphides within this channel significantly increases the potential of the basal contact to host massive nickel sulphide mineralisation.

The conductors are favourably located within the ‘closures’ or ‘noses’ of the most prominent fold feature of the Stella Range belt. Fold closures and noses are favourable sites for the accumulation of massive sulphides.

Further details of these EM conductors at Desert Dragon can be found in our ASX Release dated 23 March 2015 “Outstanding Nickel Sulphide Targets”.

Pipeline of EM Targets

High quality EM conductors have also been identified at the Aphrodite and Desert Dragon North prospects.

At Aphrodite, the MLEM survey identified four EM anomalies and two of these were classified as Category 1 targets by Newexco (our geophysical advisers). Category 1 targets are well defined EM anomalies which demonstrate all the primary criteria for a massive sulphide body and warrant immediate consideration as drill targets.

2

==> picture [596 x 71] intentionally omitted <==

One of these Category 1 targets, named Aphrodite 4, has been selected for immediate drilling.

The Aphrodite 4 EM conductor is present in the very late‐time, signifying a highly conductive body. The conductor has a time constant of 176ms and conductance of 2947 Siemens, which are consistent with massive nickel sulphides.

Importantly, Aphrodite 4 is located within a pronounced embayment on the eastern contact of the ultramafic body (see Figure 2).

This curved indentation on the eastern margin of the ultramafic unit is a highly favourable structural setting for the potential concentration of massive nickel sulphides.

For further details of the EM conductors at Aphrodite, see our ASX Release dated 20 April 2015 “High Quality EM Conductor at Aphrodite”.

Additional high quality EM targets have been identified at Desert Dragon North. Further information on these targets can be found in our ASX Release dated 17 March 2015 “High Quality Nickel Sulphide Targets Identified at Desert Dragon North.”

This impressive pipeline of targets is further boosted by the successful drill results at the Windsor nickel sulphide prospect (see commentary below).

In addition, exploration is continuing at a number of other nickel sulphide prospects including Cambridge, Cambridge North, Bristol and Oxford.

The strong pipeline of targets emphasises the large, regional scale of St George’s Project and its potential to emerge as a new nickel sulphide province.

Windsor – Nickel Sulphide Zone Extended

Four of the six drill holes completed at Windsor in late 2014 successfully intersected nickel sulphides. All six holes intersected the thick, highly prospective komatiite channel which hosts this mineralisation.

The following results illustrate the thick ultramafic sequences encountered by drilling, and the higher grade nickel sulphide intervals within those units:

  • WINRC004 ‐ 89m @ 0.20%Ni from 57m, including: 2m @ 0.40%Ni from 122m

  • WINRC005 ‐ 147m @ 0.25%Ni from 124m, including 7m @ 0.34%Ni from 161m and 1m @ 0.40%Ni from 292m

  • WINRC007 ‐ 90m @ 0.20%Ni from 227m, including 1m @ 0.75%Ni from 286m

The drilling results at Windsor define a large linear komatiite channel flow that locally hosts an unconstrained zone of disseminated nickel sulphides, open laterally and at depth.

There is a documented relationship between disseminated and massive nickel sulphide mineralisation in komatiite hosted nickel deposits. Massive nickel sulphides are typically deposited in lower MgO facies at the base and flanks of the channel. Disseminated nickel sulphides can occur as a halo above the massive sulphides, and provide a reliable vector for exploration targeting of massive sulphides.

Figure 3 illustrates the ultramafic channel interpreted at Windsor and shows the broadly distributed disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, which is open to the north and south.

Windsor is an optimal search‐area for massive nickel sulphide mineralisation and only 200m of the 4,600m strike length of the basal contact has been tested to date.

Further drilling will be planned for Windsor to follow up on the high tenor nickel sulphides intersected in the 2014 drilling campaign.

For more details of the successful drilling at Windsor, see our ASX Release dated 11 February 2015 “St George Extends Nickel Sulphide Zone”.

Technical Review

A milestone Technical Review of the Project was completed in the quarter, utilising the expanded database following the substantial exploration programs completed in 2014. A summary of the findings from this Technical Review are published in St George’s ASX Release dated 4 March 2015 ‘Global Nickel Expert Endorses Project’.

The leader of the Technical Review, Dr Jon Hronsky, is a global nickel expert with industry leading credentials in the area of exploration targeting for nickel sulphide deposits. Dr Hronsky will continue to consult with St George with the aim of developing further drill targets at the East Laverton Project.

The East Laverton Nickel project occupies a unique position in the southern end of the East Laverton Nickel belt (see Figure 4). Strong similarities exist between the geological setting and features of this area and those of highly mineralised komatiite hosted nickel sulphide belts at Forrestania and Agnew‐Wiluna.

The important conclusion from the Technical Review is that the East Laverton Nickel Project has the size and required geological criteria to host multiple nickel sulphide deposits.

Drilling Increases VMS Prospectivity

Four RC drill holes were completed as part of the 2014 Phase 2 drilling program to follow‐up the significant zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) mineralisation that was intersected in drill hole DDD011. Three of these holes returned anomalous intersections of zinc. These are interpreted to be within a marginal (zinc dominant) phase of a larger VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) system.

In addition, a number of other nickel‐focused holes were completed at Desert Dragon, and also intersected horizons with elevated zinc and copper values. For example, drill hole DDRC036 intersected 4m @ 0.76% Zn from 123m including 1m @1.45% Zn from 125m . These intervals were within a thick interval of 23m @ 0.15% Zn from 121m. This metal enrichment is likely associated with the presence of sulphidic exhalative sediments, which usually form as a broad aureole around VMS deposits.

The limited base metal exploration so far has returned very encouraging results, and strongly supports the case for the presence of economic occurrences of VMS‐style mineralisation to be present at East Laverton. Work is underway to develop further VMS‐style base‐metal targets for drill testing.

LAKE MINIGWAL PROJECT

St George has successfully completed its first phase of reconnaissance exploration at its 100% owned Lake Minigwal Project, which is prospective for gold and nickel sulphide mineralisation.

The Lake Minigwal Project is interpreted to comprise a covered package of greenstones and sediments, situated within a regionally favourable structural setting. The Project is located to the immediate west of the East Laverton Property (see Figure 5)

The potential of this wider general area was initially identified when a soil geochemical survey conducted by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) identified several anomalous gold soil values in an area of covered greenstone.

Figure 5 – the Lake Minigwal Project is illustrated relative to the East Laverton Property and other major regional projects including the Laverton goldfield to the north

St George has since acquired airborne magnetics and completed ground gravity and soil geochemical surveys. Exploration results to date are very encouraging for the gold and nickel sulphide prospectivity of the Project area.

==> picture [596 x 71] intentionally omitted <==

A large mass of greenstone was identified from the gravity survey and magnetics data (i.e. higher density and more magnetic rocks). This area was then validated by the coincident nickel‐cobalt soil geochemical responses from our geochemical soil survey (see Figure 6). Nickel and cobalt are two elements commonly used to distinguish greenstones from other rocks with less mafic minerals.

Figure 6 ‐ The nickel‐cobalt index (purple dots) correlate well with the denser rocks that are mapped by the higher (red) gravity response

A large, composite gold + molybdenum + arsenic soil anomaly covered an area in excess of 5,000 m along the northern greenstone‐sediment contact. The gold anomalism was also constrained within a NW trending structure (see Figure 7). It is believed that the position of the gold anomalism along the greenstone‐sediment margin is significant. The major gold deposits (3+ MozAu) in the Laverton goldfield to the west are hosted in sedimentary rather than greenstone rocks.

St George is now planning the next phase of exploration at the Lake Minigwal Project to follow‐up on the positive results from the initial field exploration.
