Continuity of Nickel-Copper System Extended for 584 Meters on Julie Nickel Discovery on the Quebec North-Shore

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:54 PM on Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

  • New batch of results has extended the total strike of the Nickel-Copper occurrences on the Julie-Nickel Discovery to a length of 584 meters.
  • Best result from the portable drill samples yielded 1.17% Nickel at approximately 211 meters away from a previous discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 13, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) is pleased to announced today that a new batch of results has extended the total strike of the Nickel-Copper occurrences on the Julie-Nickel Discovery to a length of 584 meters. The best result from the portable drill samples yielded 1.17% Nickel at approximately 211 meters away from a previous discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters

Results Warrant Acceleration of Plans for Julie Nickel Discovery

“We are very encouraged by these new additional results coming out of the Julie-Nickel Project. The fact that these latest results were achieved over 200 metres away from a previous discovery makes us optimistic for the future of this early stage project. As such, we have accelerated our plan and expect to bring this discovery to drill ready stage before the summer of 2015.” Commented Frank Dumas, President & CEO of the Company.

“This acceleration is further supported by the expectation that nickel prices could move dramatically higher over the next two years as a cyclical recovery takes hold in the base metal sector, according to a recent report from Scotiabank” Dumas went on to say.

Joel Scodnick, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration of St-Georges commented: “(…) no matter how you look at this mineralized corridor, there’s a 13km long magnetic anomaly that appears to be spatially associated with the Julie showing and all the other showings along strike of the Julie showing as mentioned in the press release. This structure is further evidence of a fairly extensive and pervasive plumbing system responsible for the concentrations of nickel discovered so far. Based on the surface work conducted and very shallow drilling using a man-held portable drill it is imperative at this point that St George’s establish a detailed grid in preparation for a diamond drilling campaign. If it can be established that the nickel sulphide enrichment is present at depth and along strike then a deposit of significance could be present, especially given the fact that the structure is so long and most like deep-rooted.”

Results Summary

T2 Zone

A surface mineralized zone of 52 meters by 18 meters referred to as “T2” has been identified. This zone is located 116 meters away from the initial discovery of “T1” on an East-North-East trend. It is categorized by a series of small gossans within a larger zone of mafic and ultramafic rocks at or near surface.

When added to the T1 Zone already identified (See Press Release, December 29, 2014) it covers a total of 238 meters of mineralisation and coincides with the ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery which has been identified by geophysical data obtained by St-Georges in 2011 where a 13 kilometres magnetic conductor on a WSW to ENE trend was discovered.

The table below outline the results from a 2.88 meter channel sample taken in parallel with the mineralized body at surface:

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T2 Channel 6 0 2.88 2.88 0.828 0.135 0.025

* Reported channel sample sections are not true widths. An apparent surface width of 8 meters can be calculated but at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space.

The starting point of the channel sample was located at N49? 57.517′ W69? 26.911′

Results from a man-held portable drill hole are also available. The hole was drilled vertically from surface to a shallow depth of 0.40 meters and was assayed as a whole. The drill hole was located at N49? 57.513′ W69? 26.911′.

* Reported channel sample sections are not true widths. An apparent surface width of 8 meters can be calculated but at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space.

T3 ZONE

The T3 exploration target zone is a surface mineralized zone measuring 58 meters by 8 meters located 159 meters to the South-East of the eastern limits of the T2 Zone. This zone seems to be trending from a North-South to East-South-East axis. Its north-western section encompasses the southern boundaries of the previously identified magnetic conductor on the Julie Project. When added to the T1 and T2 Zones already identified it covers a total 455 meters which is mineralized at or near surface.

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T3 Channel 3 0.82* 2.76 1.93 0.39 0.108 0.012

St-Georges to Focus on Julie Nickel Discovery; Withdrawal of Zambian Interest

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:29 PM on Friday, January 9th, 2015

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 9, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) today announces its intention to terminate all efforts to acquire and develop projects in Zambia. The company had previously signed an agreement in February 2014 in order to acquire two sizeable Copper-Cobalt projects in Zambia. The difficulty to finalize a proper due diligence had forced the company to put these negotiations on hold in the summer of 2014. The Company had mentioned that it was entertaining the acquisition of another project in Zambia at that point without giving more details. The management of St-Georges has taken the strategic decision to focus all its attention to the new Nickel discovery at its wholly owned Julie Nickel Project.

FINANCIAL SITUATION & OTHER CORPORATE MATTERS

As of December 31, 2014 the Company had 34,504,463 shares issued and outstanding. It also had 1,182,692 outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $0.27 per share and, $230,000 of Convertible Debentures carrying an annual 6% cumulative interest rate expiring July 2, 2023. These Debentures are convertible at any time at a price related to average market prices subject to a minimum conversion rate of $0.10 per share. There are currently no outstanding warrants.

Internal, unaudited financial statements of the Company to December 31, 2014 show Net Assets of $1,512,249. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in these unaudited financial statements at December 31, 2014 amounted to $557,340 and included an amount of $285,888 payable to Directors, Officers and Executives of St-Georges and $191,208.27 that are optional liabilities that the Company is currently reviewing.

JULIE NICKEL DISCOVERY

Results from Agat Laboratories are expected in the coming days from the latest surface campaign conducted on the Julie Nickel Project. Last week St-Georges published the initial results from the latest campaign. The table below constitute a recapitulation of these results already published in a press release on December 29, 2014:

Results Summary

A surface mineralized zone of 70 by 56 meters referred to as “T1” has been identified. All initial results below come from this zone. The ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery can be traced in the geophysic data obtain by St-Georges in 2011 for approximately 13 kilometres on a WSW to NE trend. At this point it appears that the mineralized zone remains open in all directions.

The table below outline the initial and partial results from a 17.26 meters channel cut executed along the identified conductor on the T1 zone at a 45º angle:

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt

St Greorges Platinum Signs Option Agreement with Exploration Khalkos Inc.

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:08 AM on Thursday, September 25th, 2014

Montreal, Quebec /September 25, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum & Base Metals ltd (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the exclusive rights to the Poissons Blancs Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Property in Quebec from Khalkos Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:KAS).

The Poissons Blancs Property

The property consists of 93 contiguous mineral claims for a total area 5225 hectares located in the Saguenay Lac St-Jean region. The deposit was discovered in the 1970’s with most exploration work carried out at the end of the 1980’s. It is deemed to contain historic resources of 5.9 million tonnes at a grade of 0.21% Nickel, 0.11% Copper and 0.03% Cobalt (non-NI 43-101 compliant).

To acquire the Poissons Blancs property, St-Georges Platinum agreed to issue 800,000 shares of its capital over a period of 4 years starting in the Fall of 2015. Furthermore St-Georges agreed to transfer to Exploration Khalkos Inc. the Cooper Lake Project (Villebon East) which is comprised of 9 mineral claims in Abitibi, Quebec.

The parties agree to establish the commercial value of the Cooper Lake Claims and the Poissons Blancs Property at CAD450,000 each. A 1.0% NSR in favour of each company was assigned to their respective properties, the latter being exercisable at any time and half of the royalty can be purchased for the sum of CAN $500,000. St-Georges will establish an exploration strategy for this project and will be planning some exploration work for next spring and summer.

OTHER CORPORATE MATTERS

Julie Nickel-Copper-Cobalt & PGE Project

The Company has initiated permitting for a medium size drilling campaign along the section of its project referred to as the Julie Corridor. Samples from the fall 2013 surface campaign (channel cuts and surface drill cores) will be ready for lab analysis later this fall. St-Georges’ geological team is planning a campaign in two phases aimed at maximizing the project value. The first phase would be limited to a shallow drilling campaign targeting the 1.8 km corridor mineralized at surface. The goal of this campaign is to test for nickel mineralization at depths of maximum 50 meters along the 1.8 km target zone.

A second drilling and mapping phase of larger magnitude is planned to follow in early spring of 2015.

Isoukustouc Project

The Company is reviewing its options for Isoukustouc. Different groups have shown interest and limited due diligence has been initiated. At this time there is no serious discussions regarding either a sale, option or Joint-Venture on this project and the Company is still entertaining any third party proposal that would bring value to its shareholders.

Zambian Copper-Cobalt Acquisition

The Company is still involved in negotiations to acquire one or more large projects in Zambia near or in production. Different local vendors have shown renewed interest to enter a beneficial agreement with St-Georges but the Company’s management considers these discussions as “early-stage” and cannot comment on when or if they will have a positive conclusion in the short term.

North Shore Campaign on the Julie Nickel-Pge Project & Corporate Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:24 PM on Friday, July 25th, 2014

 

Montreal, Quebec / July 25, 2014 – St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (BSE: 85G1) is pleased to update its shareholders on exploration efforts on its Julie Nickel & PGE project on Quebec’s North Shore and on other corporate matters.

Julie Nickel & PGE Project 2014 Campaign

St-Georges‘ personnel has started to work on planning and permitting for a drilling campaign. This campaign is designed to test 75-100 metres of depth within a block 1,500 metres long by 200 metres wide within the previously identified 1.5 km corridor of sulphide impregnated rock that has been mapped at surface. The Company is expecting to complete the surface sampling and channelling campaign initiated last year along the 1.5 km identified sulphide rich zone.

This program will sample large sections of the remaining 10 km electromagnetic conductor located within an identified mafic unit which coincides with a few sulphide rich outcrops of interest. Large sections of the sulphide rich outcrop will be investigated through channel sampling and a tight grid that encompasses the 1.5 km corridor already identified. Random samples will be collected from outcrops during mapping traverses. A gravimetric survey is also proposed for this area to further define targets.

Shongwa & Mwinilunga; Proposed Acquisition in Zambia

As announced earlier, the Company has completed all title verification on the proposed Zambian transaction.

However, technical due diligence has been hampered by delays in acquisition of supporting data related to reports and information initially delivered to us by the vendor. The Definitive Feasibility Study commissioned by the vendor, Kasni Investment Limited in 2013, makes certain claims regarding the existence of a very large mineral resource and we have failed so far to find the evidence supporting the existence of any size of mineral resource. The Company has no firm timetable as to when or whether the necessary data will be delivered and allow the completion of the due diligence. Therefore, a definitive closing, if any, for this proposed transaction is impossible to predict.

Initial announcement of the proposed Zambian Transaction in February provided the Company with additional offers similar in size and grade to the original project. In a few cases these offers are similar or better entry points for St-Georges than the original. The Company is reviewing the potential for acquisition of near production projects in Zambia, Namibia and in South Africa.

Other Transactions

Firming up in Nickel prices and renewed interest for the commodity has triggered new interest for nickel projects. The Balmoral Resources (BAR on the TSX) discovery earlier this year of 45.28 metres grading 1.79% nickel, 0.19% copper, 0.42 g/t platinum and 1.04 g/t palladium has also contributed to renewed interest in high grade nickel projects in Quebec. St-Georges has been contacted by groups looking to enter the nickel exploration field and the Company has initiated discussions to sell or joint venture some of the projects that it owns in Quebec. For comparison purpose only, the 2011 surface campaign on the Julie Nickel & PGE Project yielded an average of 1.78% nickel and 0.33% copper from select surface samples collected within the above described 1.5 km sulphide rich zone identified as the Julie Corridor.

St-Georges Receives Positive Title Opinion On Zambian Projects

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:25 AM on Monday, June 9th, 2014

Montreal, Quebec / June 9, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to report it has received positive title opinion in relation to the mining production and mining exploration licenses it is acquiring in Zambia.

Significance of title verification and title opinion

The title verification and title opinion brings St-Georges closer to the completion of the current on-going due diligence process for acquisition of the Mwininlunga and Shongwa mining projects. Mwininlunga currently produces Copper Concentrate with plans to potentially expand to 20,000 tonnes per month. On Shongwa, the Company expects to initiate work on a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment Study later in early 2015.

Mark Billings, St-Georges Chairman and Director, stated: “The title opinion we received from KCK is an important milestone  along with the completion of the analysis of available geological and engineering data which should be on track with the previously announced schedule, it should provide enough comfort to recommend to our shareholders to endorse this acquisition. We received a fair amount of interest for these projects and are pleased with the response from the financial community in relation to the Company’s plan to move forward in Zambia.”

Mandate of KCK & Associates

In the course of the due diligence process, St-Georges hired KCK & Associates as independent legal advisors to establish its Zambian subsidiary and to assist the Company in the process of title and permit verification. KCK & Associates is a law firm established in Lusaka, Zambia that specializes in Corporate and Mining Law. The firm works for an extensive array of clients in the mining sector and with Governmental entities.

About the Zambian Projects

The Mwinilunga Copper-Cobalt-Gold Project. Covering 740 hectares (7.4 km2) , the project is located close to the Angola and DRC borders and is in the vicinity of CopperZone and Vale Inco’s Luamata Joint-Venture Project. Current small scale punctual production of 3,000 tonnes of Copper Concentrate (15%) per month on the mining license will be consolidated under St-Georges’ control at closing of the transaction, and will be managed under a service agreement to be finalized before the end of the due diligence period.

St-Georges Provides Corporate Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:45 PM on Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

 

Montreal, Quebec / May 6, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) would like to inform its shareholders and stakeholders about the progress of its operations. The Company would also like to inform its shareholders that it filed its annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis or MD&A on April 30, 2014, for the period ended December 31, 2013. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR at the address www.sedar.com under St-Georges Platinum.

Zambian Projects

The Company entered into a binding agreement to acquire two Copper-Cobalt-Gold projects in Zambia on February 5, 2014. The initial agreement called for a 90-day due diligence to expire at midnight Eastern Standard Time on May 5, 2014. Due diligence is progressing at a good pace with most of the title verification completed. Geological and Metallurgical testing will take additional time. St-Georges’ technical team has adopted a sceptical approach in reviewing the recent production data due to the high numbers and especially very high copper and cobalt grades reported to the Company by the operator on site. The Company had expected to rely on independent third party visit reports to conclude the due diligence but, in light of the current situation, management has decided to send a team on site later this month or in the early part of the month of June. Management also plans to acquire 500 metric tonnes of production mineral concentrate from the current Mwinilunga production in order to independently verify the grades and conduct metallurgical testing. Large portion of this bulk test will be conducted by AGAT Laboratories in Canada. The company also plans to hire two local mining engineers in the month of May to help with this due diligence effort. Finally, independent laboratory testing of the shipped material, and selected grab samples taken along the reef structure on Mwinilunga are expected this month and the Company will release more details about the progress of the due diligence conducted on site later this month.

The Company expects to conclude its due diligence no later than June 30, 2014 and would like to put the agreement to a shareholders vote at a Shareholders meeting as soon as the due diligence has been completed. The acquisition would be finalized right after a positive vote at the Shareholder Meeting expected in August 2014.

On May 5, 2014, the Company signed an amendment to the February 5, 2014 binding term sheet agreement that extends the due diligence period option until June 30, 2014 and the proposed closing date to no later than August 31, 2014.

Other Corporate Matters

Metallurgical Extraction Technologies Subsidiary

On December 3, 2013 the Company announced that it had entered into an option agreement with Allied Nickel in order to acquire a North American Exclusive License for Patented Technologies controlled by Allied. Lack of financial resources and time constraints caused by the acquisition of the Zambian projects limited the abilities of the Company to conduct a satisfactory due diligence on the technologies at stake. Allied informed the Company that they are willing to negotiate new terms or a new agreement with St-Georges but no details have been communicated as yet. St-Georges consider that there is no current agreement for the time being and it is evaluating other avenues to advance its intentions to build a metallurgical and processing technologies division.

  • — Total assets of the Company as at December 31, 2013 were $1,428,804 following a write down of $6,796,442 to recognize an impairment in the value of its Quebec mining exploration and evaluation assets.– Shareholders’ equity in St-Georges was $270,675 as at December 31, 2013.– As at December 31, 2013 St-Georges had negative working capital of $493,533 compared to negative working capital at December 31, 2012 of $1,672,027.

St. Georges Signs Conditional Purchase Agreement

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:14 PM on Monday, April 14th, 2014

Montreal, Quebec, April 14, 2014 – St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to report that it has entered into a conditional purchase agreement with Copper Dynasty Corp. and Zhongda Power Fuel Co. Ltd of Hong Kong, China, for the delivery of copper concentrate.

The agreement is based on the delivery of 20,000 metric tonnes per month of copper concentrate (240,000 metric tonnes per year). The concentrate grade is expected to be of 25% copper. The concentrate is expected to originate from the Zambian Projects of the Company and be transported for delivery to the South African port of Durban (a distance of 2,649 km). The agreement calls for the use of the alternative ports of either Beira (Mozambique, 1,904 km) or Dar es Salaam (Tanzania, 2,370 km) with 90 days prior notice from the Company. The price agreed upon is set at a 50% discount from the copper metal price published by the London Metal Exchange (LME) 3 days prior to the monthly delivery date.

The agreement will be valid for a period of 5 years from the initial delivery and its enforcement is conditional to the closing of the acquisition of the Zambian projects by St-Georges, the ability of the Company to finance the production upgrade on its Zambian Projects and the existence of a mineral resource (defined or not defined) on these projects and the ability to obtain and maintain permitting for the duration of the 5 year contract. St-Georges will also be allowed to suspend delivery at its discretion if the LME price for copper reaches $2.25/lb. or lower. An additional commodity brokerage fee of 2% of the net profits will be returned to Copper Dynasty Corp.

A bulk calibration order of 200 metric tonnes should be delivered by the Company to the port of Durban within 60 days from the signing of the contract or within 30 days of the final closing of the projects acquisition by the Company.

“This agreement is an important milestone for St-Georges,” commented Rob Gardhouse, President & CEO of the

Company. “This positions St-Georges to generate significant revenues in the coming years through the sale of copper concentrate to Copper Dynasty Corp. and Zhongda Power Fuel Co. Ltd. from its Zambian Projects.”

The company entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of two mineral mining projects in the Kasempa and Mwinilunga Districts in Western Zambia.

Shongwa Project (Kasempa District)

The Shongwa IOCG & Nickel project is located in Northwestern Zambia. The project area lies approximately 60km northwest of the town of Kasempa in northwest Zambia. The area is poorly developed with only minor trails away from the gravel Kasempa-Kaoma road link. The area consists of forested and relatively flat covered plains with some rolling hills and some permanent watercourses. Minor areas of habitation and subsistence farming exist to the south of Shongwa.

The Large Scale Prospecting License (LPL) 14817-HQ-LPL covers an area of 726 square km. It was recently converted into 3 mining licenses covering the same total territory.

The Shongwa project is the site of one of the oldest known deposits in Zambia dating back to the fourth century. Since the rediscovery of these ancient workings in 1899, the area has been mined intermittently for the recovery of high-grade copper ore. From 1903 until 1914, copper was recovered by underground mining of high-grade veins, followed by hand sorting and direct smelting. Mining activities terminated with the onset of World War 1.
