PERTH (miningweekly.com) – A technical review of junior St George Mining’s Mt Alexander project, in Western Australia, has endorsed the potential for an economic nickel sulphide discovery.
St George said on Wednesday that the technical review had already identified untested electromagnetic (EM) conductors in the Cathedrals Shear zone, which were outstanding targets for the discovery of further nickel/copper sulphide mineralisation.
“The results of the technical review are very favourable and, with drilling to start very soon, provide further reassurance that the EM conductors to be tested will result in exploration success,” said St George executive chairperson John Prineas.
“The finding of enhanced nickel sulphide prospectivity for the broader Mt Alexander project area is also very important, and supports the potential of Mt Alexander to develop into a new nickel mineral field.”
