St George Mining Smashes Record with Thickest-Ever High-Grade Drill Hit at Araxá, Brazil

 

St George Mining Ltd (ASX: SGQ) has reported its biggest and best diamond drill

result yet from ongoing exploration at the company’s 100%-owned Araxá Rare

Earths and Niobium Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

In its most recent drilling release, St George announced a record-breaking

intersection of 139.45 metres of high-grade rare earth and niobium mineralisation

from surface, grading 4.05% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO) and 0.55%

niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) in hole AXDD004. This result surpasses all prior drill

intercepts reported from the project, setting a new benchmark for both thickness and

grade.

The thick intercept includes a standout sub-zone of 53.9 m @ 5.44% TREO and

0.79% Nb₂O₅ from just 9 m depth, underscoring the continuity of high-quality

mineralisation from near surface.

Alongside this record interval, assay results from nine other diamond holes showed

multiple substantial mineralised intersections from surface, such as:

80.15 m @ 5.11% TREO & 0.76% Nb₂O₅ (AXDD007) including 43.9 m @ 6.18%

TREO & 1.05% Nb₂O₅ from 36.2 m.

82.55 m @ 3.90% TREO & 0.59% Nb₂O₅ (AXDD014) including 56.55 m @

4.97% TREO & 0.72% Nb₂O₅ from 26 m.

81.45 m @ 4.52% TREO & 0.56% Nb₂O₅ (AXDD018) including 4.55 m @ 8.87%

TREO & 0.78% Nb₂O₅ from 21.45 m.
