Mt Alexander - Overview
High-grade discovery in strategic location
Exceptional high-grade mineralisation:
• Nickel-copper sulphides discovered 30m from
surface and over a 5.5km strike
• Style of mineralisation is very rare – combination of
high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group
metals is not seen anywhere else in Australia
• Preliminary metallurgical test work produced 18%
nickel and 32% copper concentrates
• Pipeline of regional nickel prospects
Foundation for development:
• Tier 1 mining jurisdiction Western Australia
• Neighbouring major nickel operations, including
BHP’s flagship nickel mines
• Access to existing infrastructure, roads and power
• Established route to market
About the Project: St George Mining Ltd holds 100% of all the
Mt Alexander tenements with the exception of E29/638, which
is held in Joint Venture: St George Mining Ltd (75%) and
Western Areas Ltd (25%).
St George is the manager with Western Areas retaining a 25%
non-contributing interest in the Project until decision to mine.
ASX: SGQ | St George Mining Limited 5 October 2021 5
Initial Discoveries
Shallow mineralisation over a 5.5km strike
• Four shallow, high-grade discoveries over a 5.5km strike of the Cathedrals
Belt, east-west oriented belt
Extensive strike suggests the system must be deeper than the extent of
current shallow discoveries
• Intrusive mineral system with potential for significant mineralisation at depth
• Petrography confirms host rocks as gabbronorite and leuco-norite
textbook intrusive rocks that host major intrusive nickel sulphide
deposits in WA like Nova-Bollinger, Savannah and Nebo-Babel

New 2021 Discoveries
Breakthrough discovery at depth
• Deeper drilling in 2020 and 2021 along the Cathedrals Belt intersected thick intrusive rocks,
confirming an intrusive unit that is open at depth
• MAD199 intersected more than 11m of nickel-copper sulphides from 333.5m downhole (April 2021)
the deepest and western most occurrence of massive sulphides discovered to date and
confirms that the large intrusive unit is fertile for nickel-copper sulphides at depth
• MAD201 – first step-out hole from MAD199 – intersects massive nickel-copper sulphides at 125m
down-plunge of MAD199 indicating a significant plunge extent of the high-grade mineralisation
• Multiple off-hole EM conductors proximal to MAD199 and MAD201 support the presence of a
significant volume of mineralisation in this location

Field of EM Conductors
Targets for further discoveries
• Downhole EM surveys used concurrently with deeper drilling to identify conductive bodies –
potential mineralisation – at depths below the detection limit of surface EM surveys
• Multiple EM conductors identified at West End and Investigators suggest that this area is a very
active part of the Cathedrals Belt mineral system
potential for the conductors to be associated with a greater volume of mineralisation along
strike or down-dip

Diamond Drilling Resumes
Testing a pipeline of EM conductors
• Drill programme commences this week – focused on EM conductors at West End and
Investigators
• Seismic survey completed in September with results pending – mapping of intrusive host
structure at depth to aid drill targeting
Drilling at Mt Alexander
ASX: SGQ | St George Mining Limited 5 October 2021 9
Regional Targets
Exciting early results
Carnac Prospect: an east-west belt (+8km strike) that may be a repetition of the highly mineralised
Cathedrals Belt – maiden drilling intersected intrusive rocks up to 85m thick
Jailbreak Prospect: a north-south belt prospective for komatiitic nickel – maiden drilling intersected
ultramafics up to 270m thick
RC drilling completed in September with follow-up exploration being planned with downhole
EM surveys pending
ASX: SGQ | St George Mining Limited 5 October 2021 10
Mt Alexander – Development
Opportunity for low cost/ high margin operation being assessed
Resource definition:
• Resource definition for shallow deposits at Stricklands and Cathedrals underway to assess the
potential of a starter mine operation
Metallurgical test work:
• XPS (subsidiary of Glencore) in Canada has been engaged to assess the metallurgy of the
Stricklands mineralisation and to develop a flowsheet for processing the Stricklands ore
• Key focus is to optimise recoveries of all metals in the Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation at
Stricklands – similar suite of metals to Canadian deposits, like Raglan
Clean and high-grade concentrate will attract a premium price:
• Separate nickel and copper concentrates produced from each of the massive and
disseminated sulphides through conventional flotation circuits at high grades and with high
values for PGEs – mostly palladium (70%) and rhodium (10%) (work completed by Strategic
Metallurgy on MAD177 samples)

Paterson Project – Adding More Value
Highly successful maiden drilling programme
Excellent address:
• Paterson region is a hotspot for major new
discoveries
• St George holds 100% of two prospective
tenements
• Neighbouring companies Antipa (ASX: AZY)
and Sipa (ASX: SRI) have joint ventures with
Rio Tinto
• St George ground has not been explored by
modern geophysics and drilling techniques
Prospective lithology confirmed:
• Maiden drilling confirmed the presence of
chalcopyrite and metasediments, the lithology
known to host base metal mineralisation in the
Paterson region
• Elevated levels of pathfinder elements for base
metal and gold deposits including highly
anomalous bismuth, arsenic, copper, zinc, lead,
molybdenum and vanadium
• Follow-up exploration underway – airborne
EM, ground gravity and more drilling

NICKEL MARKET
Electric Vehicles to drive massive nickel demand growth
“I’d just like to
re-emphasize, any
mining companies
out there, please
mine more nickel”

Nickel Outlook
Electric Vehicles (EVs) drive nickel demand Projected Base Metal Demand Growth
▪ Significant investment by car manufacturers in
electrification
▪ Traditional car makers, i.e. VW, showing they can build
EVs cost efficiently with their ID.3 model UBS, March 2021
▪ Battery manufacturers adopting battery chemistries
with higher nickel content Trafigura research, SMM, CIAP
▪ These batteries projected to hold 63% of EV market in
six years
▪ Supply deficits in nickel forming over the decade
▪ Prices expected to rise to incentivise new
production capacity
