QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
MT ALEXANDER PROJECT
DRILLING AND ASSAYS CONFIRM NEW NICKEL-COPPER SULPHIDE DISCOVERY:
- MAD201, the first step-out hole from MAD199, intersected 2.4m of nickel-copper sulphides from 434.6m downhole (assays pending), approximately 125m down-plunge of MAD199
- Assays for MAD199 confirm thick intercept of high-grade mineralisation at depth:
- 11.07m @ 1.58% Ni, 0.71% Cu, 1.23g/t total PGEs from 333.5m including 3.9m @ 3.98% Ni, 1.8% Cu, 3.1g/t total PGEs from 340.67m and including 1.28m @ 6.54% Ni, 2.96% Cu, 3.88g/t total PGEs from 342.12m
- MAD199 and MAD201 confirm that the large intrusive mineral system at the Cathedrals Belt can host significant high-grade mineralisation at depths that are largely untested by drilling
PORTFOLIO OF ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) CONDUCTORS CONTINUES TO GROW:
- Three strong off-hole electromagnetic (EM) conductors identified from the downhole EM (DHEM) survey in MAD201 with modelled conductivity of 120,400 Siemens, 30,000 Siemens and 23,000 Siemens, respectively – all interpreted to have a massive sulphide source and located up-dip towards MAD199
- Three moderate to low strength off-hole EM conductors identified from the DHEM survey in MAD200 – including one with a strike length of 250m – that are interpreted to potentially represent a vector to stronger, more distant mineralisation beyond the detection limit of the DHEM system
- Three strong off-hole EM conductors identified from the DHEM survey in MAD196 with modelled conductivity of 69,926 Siemens, 27,000 Siemens and 32,235 Siemens, respectively – all interpreted to have a massive sulphide source
- Presence of multiple untested EM conductors over a wide area of the Investigators and West End Prospectssupports the potential for further significant nickel-copper sulphides in this area

St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ) ("St George" or "the Company") is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the quarterly period ended 30 June 2021.
MT ALEXANDER PROJECT
Assays confirm new high-grade discovery – MAD199:
MAD199 was drilled at Investigators to a downhole depth of 378.8m to test a DHEM conductor located at depth and modelled with very strong conductivity of 19,320 Siemens.
A thick interval of nickel-copper sulphides was intersected from 333m downhole. Laboratory assays have confirmed the following high-grade intersection:
| Hole ID | From | To | Interval | Ni (%) | Cu (%) | PGEs (g/t) | Au (ppm) | Co (ppm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAD199 | 333.5 | 344.57 | 11.07 | 1.58 | 0.71 | 1.23 | 0.09 | 593 |
| incl. | 340.67 | 344.57 | 3.9 | 3.98 | 1.8 | 3.1 | 0.234 | 1,445 |
| incl. | 342.12 | 343.4 | 1.28 | 6.54 | 2.96 | 3.88 | 0.26 | 2,298 |
Table 1 – laboratory assays for MAD199.
The high-grade intersection in MAD199 is the deepest occurrence of massive nickel-copper sulphides drilled in the Belt and also the western most occurrence.
This supports the prospectivity of unexplored and underexplored areas of the Cathedrals Belt for further high-grade mineralisation, particularly at depth and to the west of known mineralisation at Investigators.
The nickel-copper sulphides in MAD199 are preserved, which typically indicates they may be associated with a larger proximal body of mineralisation rather than having been remobilised from a very distant source.

Figure 1 – drill core tray from MAD199 with the thick interval of nickel-copper sulphides.

MAD201 establishes 125m plunge extent of mineralisation from MAD199:
MAD201 is the first step-out from the MAD199 discovery and was completed to a downhole depth of 470.1m to test an area below the high-grade nickel-copper sulphides intersected in MAD199.
MAD201 intersected a 16m-thick intrusive unit from 421.95m downhole with a 2.4m interval of nickelcopper sulphides from 434.6m downhole. Assays are pending.
The mineralised interval in MAD201 is located 125m down-plunge of the MAD199 discovery and confirms that the fertile intrusive system continues for a considerable extent at depth.
The downhole EM survey in MAD201 identified three very strong conductors located up-dip towards the high-grade intersection in MAD199. The conductors are modelled with conductivity of 120,400 Siemens, 30,000 Siemens and 23,000 Siemens, respectively.
This supports the potential for the presence of more massive sulphides along the 125m down-plunge extent between these two drill holes.
Further drilling is planned to test the DHEM conductors and investigate the continuity of mineralisation along the 125m down-plunge extent.
For details of the discovery made by MAD199 and MAD201, see our ASX Releases dated 14 April 2021 New Discovery of Nickel-Copper Sulphides at Mt Alexander and 22 June 2021 Assays Confirm High-Grade Discovery at Mt Alexander.

Figure 2 – drill core from the mineralised interval in MAD201 showing massive sulphides as well as stringer and disseminated sulphides. Assays are pending.
Portfolio of new EM conductors supports growth of mineralised footprint:
The concurrent use of drilling and DHEM surveys continues to identify off-hole EM conductors that are targets for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.
The presence of multiple conductors over a wide area supports the potential of significant sulphide mineralisation in unexplored and underexplored areas of the Cathedrals Belt. Diamond drilling is planned to systematically test these EM conductors.

The DHEM survey in MAD200 identified three off-hole EM conductors modelled with a strike length of 250m, 60m and 40m, respectively.
MAD200 intersected a 12.7m intrusive unit from 500.7m downhole including approximately 1.4m of disseminated and blebby nickel-copper sulphides from 512m downhole with laboratory assays pending. These nickel-copper sulphides are located on the basal contact and are preserved. This is a textbook geological setting supporting the potential for further nickel-copper sulphide deposits proximal to MAD200.
The new EM anomalies identified in MAD200 are of weak to moderate conductance (<1,000 S). Other EM targets of this kind have been confirmed by drilling to be nickel-copper sulphides – namely the targets drilled by MAD38 (1,300 S) and MAD201 (<1,000 S).
The largest of the new EM plates is located 75m to the north-west of MAD200, being the detection limit of the DHEM system. The EM plate may represent a vector to stronger, more distant mineralisation.
For further details of the conductors identified in MAD200, see our ASX Release dated 6 July 2021 New EM Conductors at Mt Alexander.
The DHEM survey in MAD196, which tested 50m up-dip from MAD200, identified three very strong EM conductors that remain untested by drilling. These conductors are modelled with conductivity of 69,926 Siemens, 27,000 Siemens and 32,235 Siemens, respectively, and interpreted to have a massive sulphide source.
For further details of these conductors, see our ASX Release dated 7 April 2021 Update – Mt Alexander Nickel-Copper Sulphide Project.

Soil survey at E29/1041:
Rock chip sampling completed earlier this year at E29/1041 identified anomalous nickel and copper in interpreted mafic rocks. The anomalism is interpreted as being too elevated for barren Proterozoic dolerite dykes and more indicative of potential mineralised host rocks.
A geochemical soil survey has now been completed over an area of interest at E29/1041. Laboratory assay results are pending.
The survey area includes two distinct magnetic trends identified by the high-resolution magnetic survey completed at E29/1041 in Q1 2021.
The magnetic survey highlighted an east-northeast trend with a series of strong, linear magnetic features – with the same orientation as the Cathedrals Belt.
If these features are analogous to the Cathedrals Belt, then they also have the potential to host nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The aim of the soil survey is to investigate the presence of mafic-ultramafic units and nickel-copper anomalism associated with these trends.

Figure 4 – New magnetic data image (1VD) showing the magnetic linear features at E29/1041 being further investigated through the soil survey.

CSIRO research project:
The aim of the scientific research project underway is to further investigate the generation and emplacement mechanism behind the mineralised intrusive system at the Cathedrals Belt.
It is envisaged that this work will increase the understanding of the most prospective areas at the Cathedrals Belt as well as the broader tenement package at Mt Alexander.
Importantly, the findings of the research project will assist in ongoing exploration targeting for nickel-copper sulphides.
The project is being conducted by CSIRO in conjunction with St George and other nickel sulphide focused companies. CSIRO has world-leading expertise in producing ore genesis models for nickel sulphide deposits as well as world-class scientific facilities to carry out multi-scale characterisation studies.
Completion of the research project is expected in Q4 2021.
Studies for starter mine:
The scoping study for a potential starter mine at the Stricklands deposit is advancing with two new initiatives being trialled.
Ore sorting: Ore sorting equipment can remove waste rock and ore with low concentrations of mineralisation from mined inventory, resulting in an upgrade of the ore that is then processed. This can result in higher recoveries and significant savings in processing and transport costs.
A sample of semi-massive, stringer, blebby and disseminated sulphide ore from Mt Alexander will undergo a trial ore sorting process with Steinert, leading industry experts in this field.
Glycine-based leaching: Western Australia's Curtin University has developed a new processing technology for sulphide ores that uses a glycine-based reagent to selectively leach base-metals, including nickel and copper from sulphides.
The process involves sulphide ores being placed in large vats where the glycine reagent is applied. A leaching process over a period of several weeks results in separation of the various metals within the sulphide ore. The metals are then recovered in a high-purity powder concentrate form and are ready for shipping to endusers.
The glycine leaching process will be trialled on a sample of nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation from Mt Alexander to test the amenability of the Mt Alexander ore to this process.
Potentially, this leaching process can be considered as an alternative to processing the ores by conventional flotation circuits – resulting in very significant savings in capital expenditure for processing facilities.
The glycine reagent is non-toxic, biodegradable and imparts zero carbon emissions.
Metallurgical Test Work in Canada:
The metallurgical test work on the Stricklands ore is continuing in Canada. There have been significant delays in this test work because of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in Canada.
Initial test work results are now expected later in Q3 2021.

PATERSON PROJECT
Maiden drilling intersects prospective lithology:
A major drill programme commenced in June 2021 at St George's 100%-owned Paterson Project. 10,000m of RC and AC drilling is planned with up to 50 drill holes to be completed.
The aim of the drilling is to test the lithology and depth of cover across a 35km strike of prospective stratigraphy at St George's Exploration Licence E45/5226.
Geological logging of drill holes completed to date indicates that multiple drill holes have intersected prospective basement rocks including chalcopyrite bearing interpreted intermediate igneous intrusives and intensely altered and gossanous sediments. These rocks are indicative of potential base metal and gold mineralisation in the project area.
Significantly, XRF analysis of the basement rocks indicates elevated levels of pathfinder elements for potential base metal and gold deposits including highly anomalous bismuth, arsenic, copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum and vanadium.
Laboratory assays are pending and required to confirm the metal values that have been estimated using geological logging and portable XRF analysis. Selected end of hole (EOH) chips and other interesting intervals have been sent for detailed petrological examination and classification.
Geological observations from two of the completed drill holes are shown below. For further details of the drilling at the Paterson Project, see our ASX Release dated 8 July 2021 Drilling Intersects Prospective Lithology at Paterson Project.
PRC004 – completed to 183m downhole. Drilled to test a coincident gravity high and an interpreted sequence of tight folds. The drill hole intersected 10m of gossanous, highly altered interpreted sedimentary rocks or silica cap within the basement. Abundant iron oxides are interpreted to be derived from weathered sulphides. XRF of EOH chips returned values of 1,138ppm Cu, 1.25% S, 39ppm As and another with 354ppm Bi, 541ppm Pb and 399ppm Zn.

Figure 5 – Photo of drill chips from PRC004 showing weathered and ferruginous basement rocks (photo colours not altered).

PRC009 – completed to 180m downhole. The drill hole is located on a curvilinear magnetic high, immediately adjacent to a cluster of bulls-eye magnetic features. The basement lithology comprised moderately deformed, disseminated sulphide bearing interpreted intermediate igneous rocks.
Visual observations confirmed with XRF indicate the presence of multiple sulphide species, including chalcopyrite. XRF readings of up to 0.6% Cu were observed, with other elevated elements including Fe, Pb, Zn, Mo, Sn, As, Bi and Se.

Figure 6 – Photo of a drill chip from PRC009 showing abundant sulphides on a fracture and medium grain texture of the deformed basement rock (photo colours not altered).
Prospectivity for base metal and gold deposits:
The cover sequence intersected by drilling to date at St George's Paterson Project is between 150 to 180m in thickness and mostly comprised of semi-consolidated, quartz rich sands, increasing in grain size and large clast volume towards the base of the sequence. Coarse rounded pebbles and hard, cemented quartz rich layers are occasionally seen on the interface.
Early inferences from the drilling include that the basement sequence is weakly to moderately deformed and comprises a variety of sedimentary and potential intrusive igneous rocks.
The lack of high-grade metamorphism observed to date and the presence of preserved folds and other features indicate that the sequence is unlikely to be related to the gneissic Rudall Complex, and more likely a part of the broader Yeneena Basin. This stratigraphic package can be traced in the magnetic data to the east of the Magnum/Calibre project area of Antipa Minerals (ASX: AZY), where it has been confirmed with diamond drilling.
This stratigraphic setting has positive implications on the prospectivity of St George's project area for base metal and gold deposits, as this stratigraphic setting is known to host the Winu copper-gold deposit of Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and the Nifty copper deposit of Cyprium Metals (ASX: CYM), among others in the region.

Figure 7 – map of the north-east Paterson Province showing magnetic data (1VD greyscale) and highlighting the interpreted unconformity between Rudall equivalent highgrade metamorphic rocks and the Yeneena Basin – this prospective stratigraphy is associated with major deposits and present at St George's tenement. The stratigraphic level of the lower Yeneena is interpreted to be highly prospective for the presence of significant mineralisation.

BROADVIEW PROJECT
Prospectivity for base and precious metals:
The new Broadview Project is located in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, approximately 150km east of Perth. Other tenement holders in the region include global mining major Anglo American plc (LSE: AAL), which has more than 10,000 sq km of ground, and Impact Minerals (ASX: IPT) which has established its Arkun Project with five tenements.
The Project is considered prospective for nickel-copper-PGE deposits as well as for copper and gold mineralisation. It comprises two exploration licences covering an area of 250 sq km.
The two exploration licences cover two arcuate belts that are interpreted to be splays off the mobile belt that trends north-west to south-east from the Moora-Julimar-Yarawindah area and may mark the boundary of the South West Terrane.

The interpreted boundary of the South West Terrane has a scale and setting that suggests it may contain prospective rocks for hosting major nickel-copper-PGE deposits, such as the recent discoveries at Yarawindah and Julimar in the northern portions of the belt. This interpretation is further supported by the presence of anomalous copper in outcrop.
St George will undertake an augur soil survey at Broadview during Q3 2021 to investigate for anomalism that may support the presence of prospective lithology.
