St George Mining Limited (ASX:SGQ) has received further encouraging results from lithium exploration activities at its Mt Alexander project in the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia.
Assay results to date from the 2023 RC drilling program at the Jailbreak Lithium Prospect indicate further high-grade lithium with peak values of 1.77 per cent and 1.49 per cent, and numerous drill holes with anomalous lithium, caesium, tantalum and tin values up to 16 metres thick.
Jailbreak remains open at depth and along strike of current drilling, including to the south along the interpreted LCT corridor which extends towards the Mt Ida deposit of Delta Lithium (ASX:DLI).
Assays are pending for an additional 851 samples from RC and diamond drill holes that intersected intervals of pegmatites at Jailbreak.
Assays are also outstanding for the 121-metre-thick pegmatite intersected at the Manta Prospect.
St George Executive Chairman John Prineas said results received to date continued to demonstrate the presence of mineralised pegmatities that commence from or near surface and continue to depths of 300 metres below surface.
He said: “A follow-up drill program will be planned once all drill results are received and interpreted with a focus likely to be the ultramafic sequence where the highest lithium values have been intersected so far.”
