St-Georges annonce une campagne de surface reussie confirmant la presence de nickel a haute teneur et d'une mineralisation generalisee d'EGP sur Julie

Executive Summary

• Surface exploration in September 2025 identified high‑grade nickel (up to 1.65% Ni) and, for the first time, widespread platinum‑group element (PGE) mineralization across the Julie project (0.172 g/t Pt+Pd).
• A new mineralized zone “Vincent” was discovered ~4 km west of the historic corridor, featuring 67.8 % Fe₃O₄ magnetite and 0.112 g/t combined Pt+Pd.
• The board approved issuance of 8 M incentive stock options at $0.08 per share to executives, directors and consultants.

Key Details

• Sampling Program: 49 surface grab samples collected from historic outcrops, trench cuts in the central Julie corridor, and reconnaissance work in western and north‑western extensions. All samples analyzed by IGS (ISO/CEI 17025 lab).
• High‑Nickel Intercepts:
• Sample T1B 001 – 1.65 % Ni, 0.278 % Cu, 0.035 % Co, 0.075 g/t Pd, 0.097 g/t Pt (combined 0.172 g/t Pt+Pd), 32.2 % Fe₃O₄.
• Additional notable intercepts: T1B 009 (1.34 % Ni, 0.103 g/t Pt+Pd) and T1B 010 (1.61 % Ni, 0.172 g/t Pt+Pd).
• PGE Distribution: Uniform PGE values recorded across the project; combined Pt+Pd grades up to 0.172 g/t in historic zone samples.
• New “Vincent” Showing (Western Extension):
• Sample VIC NW 031 – 0.038 % Ni, 0.05 % Cu, 0.012 % Co, 0.003 g/t Pd, 0.109 g/t Pt (combined 0.112 g/t Pt+Pd), 67.8 % Fe₃O₄ magnetite.
• Future Work: Planned detailed mapping, additional trench sampling, and integrated geophysical interpretation to refine drill targets for the next exploration phase; data will also be used to assess links between nickel lenses and newly identified western mineralization.
• Quality Assurance/Control: Samples collected under supervision of qualified geologist; analyses performed using acid digestion + ICP‑OES for base metals and pyrolysis + ICP‑OES for PGEs. Laboratory accredited to ISO/CEI 17025.
• Qualified Person: George Yordanov, QP (NI 43‑101).
• Option Issuance: Board approved 8 000 000 incentive stock options exercisable at $0.08 per share, with a term of 3–5 years, subject to the company’s stock option plan and CSE policies.
