MT ALEXANDER PROJECT – FURTHER DISCIVERIES OF HIGH GRADE NICKEL‐COPPER SULPHIDES

St George commenced its maiden diamond drill programme at Mt Alexander on 18 April 2016 to test multiple electromagnetic (EM) anomalies at the Cathedrals and Stricklands Prospect within the Cathedrals Belt. Eleven drill holes were completed for 1,425m drilled.

The drilling has been successful in delivering a number of significant milestones with:

  • Nickel‐copper sulphide mineralisation intersected in every EM conductor drill tested

  • The discovery of further high grade nickel‐copper sulphides at the Cathedrals Prospect where BHP Billiton had made an initial discovery in 2008

  • The new discovery of massive nickel‐copper sulphides in the first ever drilling at the Stricklands Prospect

  • Confirmation that the mineral system at Mt Alexander is larger than previous drilling had indicated with St George achieving multiple intersections of high grade nickel‐copper sulphides at two prospects over a strike length of more than 1.5km

Laboratory assays have confirmed high grades for the mineralisation intersected in the drilling. Table 1 contains details of significant intersections at the Cathedrals Belt. The exceptional intersection in MAD15 highlights the high grade mineralisation with 1.17m @ 8.75%Ni, 3.37%Cu, 0.24%Co and 6.16g/t total PGEs from 30.17m.

The tenor of the massive nickel sulphide mineralisation in MAD15 is very high at 9.5%Ni. Together with the associated high copper, cobalt and very high PGEs, this mineralisation is likely to produce a clean and high value concentrate.

The combination of mineralisation at shallow depth (from 30m) and high grades, as well as proximity to existing infrastructure and processing plants, is likely to be very favourable for the potential economics of the Project.

Downhole EM (DHEM) surveys were carried out in the completed drill holes and have identified several strong off‐hole EM conductors that warrant testing. These off‐hole conductors may represent potential extensions to mineralisation intersected in the drill holes or new mineralisation around existing drill holes.

St George completed a surface moving loop EM (MLEM) survey at the previously unexplored Investigators Prospect in the western portion of the Cathedrals Belt. Three EM conductors identified from this MLEM survey have been prioritised for testing in the drill programme that commenced in early July 2016.

Each of these three new conductors at Investigators has a discrete EM response which is consistent with a bedrock conductor that may represent massive sulphides.

EAST LAVERTON – GOLD TARGETS

A major drill programme commenced in May 2016 to test priority gold targets at St George’s 100% owned East Laverton Project in Western Australia.

This gold‐focused drill programme will initially test two priority targets – Ascalon and Bristol. A total of 2,300m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling is planned in the first phase of this programme with follow‐up drilling to be planned subject to drill results.

The Ascalon target has never been drilled. It is situated in a favourable structural setting for gold mineralisation within the thickest part of the Minigwal greenstone belt. Significantly, strong gold anomalism has been identified by shallow reconnaissance drilling to the north‐west of the main target area.

The Bristol target has only been tested by shallow drilling with an average drill hole depth of 40m. Many end of hole drill samples had anomalous gold with values up to 2.5ppmAu. The planned drilling by St George will test the bedrock for potential gold mineralisation.

Additional gold targets at the East Laverton Project are being prepared for drilling including the Cambridge North and Athena gold prospects. These targets will be prioritised for testing in the ongoing gold drill programme.

Figure 5 – the East Laverton tenements against FVD Bouguer gravity data with priority gold prospects highlighted. All targets are associated with strong gravity anomalies, which can indicate fundamental structures that are a control on the concentration of gold mineralisation.

EAST LAVERTON – MASSIVE NICKEL SULPHIDE TARGET AT WINDSOR

A DHEM survey in drill hole WINRC016 identified a strong off‐hole EM conductor with an extreme conductivity of 210,469 Siemens. Drill hole WINDD004 was completed in December 2015 to test this conductor.

A further DHEM survey completed in WINDD004 indicated that WINDD004 came close to testing the conductive source but did not intersect it. Modelling of the data from the new DHEM survey confirmed the presence of an extremely conductive off‐hole EM anomaly around 95m downhole, on the western contact of the fertile Windsor ultramafic.

Laboratory assays for WINDD004 have confirmed the drill hole intersected a thick high‐MgO ultramafic with sporadic nickel sulphide mineralisation, giving further weight that this conductor represents stronger nickel sulphide mineralisation.

The strong EM conductor could represent nickel sulphides that have been mechanically displaced from a larger mineralised body below. Detailed geophysical modelling is ongoing using inversion of magnetic and gravity data. This modelling will map the ultramafic channel and its basal contact, where massive nickel sulphides may have accumulated.

Test drilling at this target will be scheduled for the second half of 2016.

St George has 100% ownership of one granted Exploration Licence (E36/741) and one application for an Exploration Licence (E36/851) at the Hawaii Project.

CORPORATE UPDATE

Heavily Oversubscribed Share Purchase Plan (SPP)

St George launched a SPP on 1 April 2016 which provided existing shareholders an opportunity to apply for ordinary shares at a $0.085 each.

The Company allotted 16,380,000 ordinary shares under the SPP at $0.085 each to raise $1,392,300.

The SPP followed a successful capital raising through a private placement to sophisticated and institutional investors that was completed in late March 2016. Under that private placement, the Company allotted 27,287,238 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.085 to raise a total of $2,319,415.

After the allotment of the securities for both capital raisings noted above, the Company has the following listed securities on issue:

Fully Paid Ordinary Shares 207,194,255 Listed Options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 30 June 2017 38,721,625

A General Meeting of the Company was held on 10 May 2016 at which these capital raisings were approved and ratified by shareholders.

Exploration Development Incentive (EDI) Tax Credits

The Company announced on 23 May 2016 that shareholders were to receive an EDI tax credit through a Federal Government initiative. The initiative allows Australian resident shareholders to obtain a refundable tax offset for greenfields exploration undertaken by Australian junior exploration companies that do not derive any taxable income.

St George participated in the EDI for the 2015/2016 tax year with $379,830 of tax credits approved by the Federal Government. The credits were distributed to eligible shareholders of St George who held ordinary fully paid shares in the Company on 31 May 2016.

R&D Cash Rebate

The Company is in the process of completing its Income Tax Return for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. The Income Tax Return includes research and development expenditure which the Company believes will be eligible for a cash rebate under the Federal Government’s R&D Tax Incentive Scheme.

The cash rebate, once approved, is expected to be received by the Company in the quarter ending 30 September 2016.
