MT ALEXANDER PROJECT
Field of EM Conductors:
The concurrent use of drilling and DHEM surveys has identified multiple off-hole EM conductors in the Investigators and West End areas. These conductors are interpreted as excellent targets for massive sulphide mineralisation.
The most recent conductor identified was from the DHEM survey in MAD202. The EM conductor is modelled with conductivity of 81,000 Siemens and recorded a time constant of 100 milliseconds – a combination typical of massive sulphides.
The new EM conductor is coincident with a trend of prominent gravity highs that are interpreted to represent dense rocks such as massive sulphides, further confirming the conductor as a compelling target for mineralisation.
Several other EM conductors have been identified at Investigators and West End by the DHEM surveys in the following drill holes:
- MAD195 three off-hole EM conductors
- MAD196 three off-hole EM conductors, the strongest modelled with conductivity of 69,926 Siemens
- MAD199 three on-hole EM conductors
- MAD200 three off-hole EM conductors, the largest modelled with a strike length of 250m
- MAD201 three off-hole EM conductors, the strongest modelled with conductivity of 120,400 Siemens.
The large number of significant mineralised intercepts and downhole EM conductors at Investigators and West End demonstrates a very large and fertile mineral system and further supports the potential for a significant volume of nickel-copper sulphides in this area.
For further details of the above-mentioned EM conductors, see our ASX Release 18 August 2021 Field of EM Conductors at Mt Alexander and ASX Release dated 6 July 2021 New EM Conductors at Mt Alexander.

Assays Confirm 125m Down-Plunge Extent from MAD199 Discovery:
Assays were received during the quarter for MAD201, the first step-out hole from MAD199 that intersected more than 11m of nickel-copper sulphides from 333.5m downhole.
MAD201 tested below the MAD199 discovery and successfully intersected a thick intrusive unit and 2.4m of nickel-copper sulphides, as detailed in Table 1.
| Hole ID | From | To | Interval | Ni (%) | Cu (%) | PGEs (g/t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAD201 | 434.6 | 437 | 2.4 | 1.66 | 0.55 | 0.52 |
| incl. | 436.74 | 437 | 0.26 | 6.18 | 1.2 | 0.79 |
Table 1 – laboratory assays for MAD201.
The high-grade intersection in MAD201 confirms a 125m plunge-extent for the mineralisation in MAD199 – the deepest occurrence of massive nickel-copper sulphides drilled in the Cathedrals Belt to date.
Multiple EM conductors were identified from the DHEM surveys in MAD199 and MAD201, indicating strong potential for further high-grade mineralisation to be present around the drill holes.
A diamond drill programme commenced at Mt Alexander on 14 October 2021 and will test EM targets at Investigators and West End, including further step-outs from MAD199.
For further details on the current drill programme, see our ASX Release dated 14 October 2021 Diamond Drilling Underway at Mt Alexander.

Figure 1 – plan view map of West End and Investigators (against imaged gravity data) showing new DHEM conductors, planned drill holes and prior drilling. Gravity highs are shown by warmer colours (white, red and yellow). High-density massive sulphides and their host rocks will typically present as gravity highs. Lessdense material or cover are represented by cooler colours (blues and purples).

Maiden Drilling of Regional Targets:
A reverse circulation (RC) drill programme was completed during the quarter at a number of regional targets within the Mt Alexander tenement package. The multiple new exploration targets established across the project tenure – in addition to the high-grade discoveries already made at the Cathedrals Belt – support the potential for Mt Alexander to develop into a nickel camp with multiple high-grade nickel-copper sulphide deposits.
Carnac Prospect: Seven drill holes were completed at the Carnac Prospect – located on E29/1041 (100% St George). The drill holes were designed to test a linear magnetic trend that extends east-northeast across the Carnac Prospect for more than 8km.
Drilling successfully confirmed the presence of mafic-ultramafic intrusive-style rocks up to 85m thick that have the same geochemical signature as the rocks seen at the east-northeast trending Cathedrals Belt. This finding supports the potential of Carnac to also host high-grade nickel-copper sulphides similar to those on the Cathedrals Belt.
A geochemical soil survey is being completed over the remainder of the east-northeast magnetic trend at Carnac, with further drilling to be prioritised once survey results are assessed.
Jailbreak Prospect**:** Four drill holes were completed at the Jailbreak Prospect – located on E29/962 (100% St George).
Jailbreak encompasses part of a north-south oriented ultramafic belt that lies parallel and to the east of the main north-south Mt Alexander ultramafic belt, which is known to host komatiitic ultramafics and associated nickel sulphides.
All drill holes intersected multiple thick ultramafic units – up to 270m thick – within the targeted sequence.
The drill holes did not intersect the basal contact of the ultramafic channel, which is where any potential nickel sulphides are most likely to be located. DHEM surveys will be completed in the drill holes to search for any conductive bodies around the holes.
Further drilling will be planned for Jailbreak following a review of DHEM survey data, including deeper drilling to target the prospective basal part of the ultramafic stratigraphy that has yet to be tested.
For further information on the drilling at Carnac and Jailbreak, see our ASX Release dated 13 September 2021 Drilling of New Targets at Mt Alexander.
Seismic Survey Completed:
The first ever seismic survey at the Cathedrals Belt was carried out during the quarter. Three north-south orientated 2D seismic lines were completed at the West End and Investigators Prospects.
The intrusive-host structure at the Cathedrals Belt is interpreted to dip to the north-northwest at 40 degrees. The seismic survey will confirm if the structure continues at depth with this orientation or takes a different direction.
Any major change in trajectory would provide a potential trap site for sulphide accumulations and thus a high-priority drill target.
Results from the survey are pending, with the seismic data currently being processed and interpreted by consultant geophysicists.


Figure 2 – map (against magnetic RTP 1VD and MMR data) showing the area for the seismic survey (yellow lines) as well as areas of known nickel-copper sulphides. The completed lines are the three most western lines. The other two lines shown will be completed at a later time, subject to a review of the survey results.
Starter mine proposal:
Infill drilling was carried out during the quarter at the Cathedrals Prospect with 33 RC drill holes completed. These holes were designed to test the continuity of the known high-grade nickel-copper sulphides that comprise the shallow deposit at the Cathedrals Prospect. Assay results are pending.
Further resource definition drilling may be planned for the Cathedrals Prospect after a review of the results from the completed RC drilling.
The metallurgical test work on the Stricklands ore is continuing in Canada. A key aspect in the assessment of flotation performance for the ore was a comparison of a sequential flowsheet (separate copper, nickel flotation) and a bulk flowsheet (bulk copper/nickel followed by a separation stage).
Although the ore was amenable to processing under both sequential and bulk flowsheets, extensive test work has indicated that a sequential flowsheet achieves better recoveries. Accordingly, final metallurgical test work is being completed on this basis.
Further test work results are now expected later in Q4 2021. There have been significant delays in this test work because of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in Canada.

PATERSON PROJECT
Maiden drilling intersects prospective lithology:
Our maiden drill programme at the Paterson Project commenced in early June with 10,000m of planned air core (AC) and RC drilling. The programme comprised a number of wide-spaced drill traverses designed to test the lithology and depth of cover across a 35km strike of prospective stratigraphy at St George's E45/5226. In total, 35 holes were completed by AC/RC drilling for 6,264m drilled.
Drilling in the southern part of the tenement intersected basement rocks and confirmed the depth of cover as less than 180m, which is relatively shallow for the region and highly explorable.
The cover sequence in the northern area of E45/5226 has a higher clay content and higher water table than elsewhere in the tenement. This area is more suitable to diamond drilling than AC/RC drilling and a number of planned holes in the northern area are now scheduled to be drilled with diamond core.
Encouragingly, multiple drill holes intersected prospective basement rocks including chalcopyrite bearing, intensely altered and gossanous metasediments. St George believes these rocks are indicative of potential base metal and gold mineralisation in the project area.
Follow-up diamond drilling was expected to occur in October 2021 but the anticipated availability of a drill rig did not eventuate. An alternative drill rig is being sought.
For further details of the drilling at the Paterson Project, see our ASX Release dated 13 August 2021 Highly Successful Drilling at Paterson Project.
Gravity survey:
A gravity survey was completed during the quarter at St George's second tenement at the Paterson – E45/5422. The survey was completed on 400m spacing with 1,642 stations.
A further small gravity survey was completed at E45/5226 to infill an area not surveyed in the 2020 gravity survey for this tenement.
The 2020 survey successfully identified a number of structural features that are interpreted as potential controls on mineralisation. Results of the 2021 gravity survey are pending.
Airborne EM survey:
Following the success of the maiden drilling programme in identifying prospective host stratigraphy and confirming the depth of basement, an airborne EM survey was planned for E45/5226. Initially proposed for the September quarter, unfavourable weather conditions in the Pilbara at that time has meant the survey is now scheduled for mid-October.
The EM survey is designed to identify conductive material in the basement rocks that may represent sulphide mineralisation.
The results of the airborne EM survey will be reviewed in conjunction with other data sets, including the drill results and other geophysical surveys (namely the airborne magnetic and gravity surveys completed in 2020), to select targets for drill testing.

NEW LOOK TECHNICAL TEAM
St George's senior exploration geologist Dave Mahon has been promoted to the position of Exploration Manager with executive leadership of the Company's technical team. Mahon takes over from Dave O'Neill, who has resigned to accept a leadership position with a new mining company start-up.
Mahon joined St George in December 2018 and since then has supervised all exploration programmes at Mt Alexander and our Paterson Project. Prior to joining St George, Mahon gained specialist nickel sulphide expertise working with Western Areas Limited (ASX: WSA) as a mine geologist and project exploration geologist, including at the Forrestania nickel operations and across several regional exploration projects. Mahon is a graduate of Curtin University with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Geology and a Bachelor of Commerce.
In addition to Mahon's promotion, St George has expanded its technical team with the employment of two full-time exploration geologists to support and maintain the Company's continuous exploration at the highly exciting Mt Alexander, Paterson and Broadview Projects.
Charles Wilkinson continues as Technical Consultant to St George. Wilkinson has more than 35 years' experience as a geologist and held senior exploration and operational leadership positions including Manager - Nickel Exploration Australia for WMC and General Manager - Exploration at Western Areas.
John Prineas, St George Mining's Executive Chairman, said:
"Dave Mahon has greatly impressed us since joining St George almost three years ago with his ability to deliver strong results and success from exploration at Mt Alexander and, more recently, at our Paterson Project. He has the right mix of exploration skills and experience to now lead St George's technical team.
"It is a credit to Dave O'Neill that we have been able to build up our internal capabilities and experience to enable Dave Mahon to step up to become Exploration Manager.
"Dave O'Neill has made a significant contribution to St George's success over the past several years and leaves with our thanks and best wishes as he embarks on the next stage of his career journey. He remains available to us on a consultancy basis so that we can retain access to his knowledge and experience.
"Dave Mahon and his new-look technical team, with the continued support of Charles Wilkinson, have been charged with extending the run of success we have delivered at Mt Alexander, which has made this one of Australia's most exciting high-grade nickel-copper sulphide projects, as well as delivering value for shareholders from our emerging, highly prospective tenement positions at the Paterson and Broadview Projects."

COVID -19:
St George is managing its operations in compliance with COVID-19 regulations issued by State and Commonwealth authorities. We continue to proactively manage drilling and other field programmes to protect the health and safety of our team and service providers.
Border restrictions and snap lockdowns 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.
Restrictions on international travel as well as lockdowns in parts of Canada have impacted the timing for completion of metallurgical test work underway in Canada. St George is working closely with its service provider to progress the test work with minimal delays.
