St-Georges Eco-Mining samples 1.65% Ni at Julie

Ms. Neha Tally reports ST-GEORGES REPORTS SUCCESSFUL SURFACE PROGRAM CONFIRMING HIGH-GRADE NICKEL AND WIDESPREAD PGE MINERALIZATION AT JULIE PROJECT St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. has released surface exploration results from its September, 2025, surface prospection program conducted on the Julie nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE (platinum group element) project, located on Quebec's North Shore. The program has successfully identified new mineralized showings and has confirmed the consistent presence of platinum-group elements (PGEs) across multiple zones, a significant first for the project. Fieldwork focused on targeted outcrops and historical trenches within the central Julie zone, complemented by reconnaissance work across the western and north-western extensions of the project. A total of 49 surface samples were collected by prospectors and subsequently reviewed and validated by the company's geologists. All samples were sent to IGS Laboratories for multielement geochemical analysis. Highlights of the September, 2025, surface exploration program: High-grade nickel confirmed: grab samples from the historical Julie zone returned high-grade nickel values, including 1.65 per cent Ni (Sample: T1B 001); Widespread PGEs identified: for the first time, consistent PGE values have been recorded across the project, with a combined platinum plus palladium grade of up to 0.172 gram per tonne Pt plus Pd (sample: T1B 001 and T1B 011); New western mineralized zone discovered: prospecting approximately four kilometres west of the main Julie trend has uncovered a new zone, the Vincent showing, characterized by high-grade iron and associated PGEs. Highlights include: 67.8 per cent Fe3O4 from a massive magnetite discovery with associated PGE mineralization 0.112 g/t Pt+Pd (sample: VIC NW 031). "Confirming not only high-grade nickel in the historic zone but also establishing a widespread platinum and palladium footprint is an important development for the Julie project," commented Herb Duerr, president and chief executive officer of St-Georges. "The discovery of the new, structurally distinct Vincent showing, with its high-grade iron and associated precious metals, strongly supports our geological model of a large, multiphase magmatic system. This significantly expands the project's potential and gives us exciting, high-priority targets for our next phase of exploration." Results reported are from selected surface grab samples and are not necessarily representative of the overall mineralization of the project. Fe3O4 is calculated from Fe assay results. The company intends to conduct detailed mapping, additional channel sampling and a geophysical interpretation integrating the new showings to refine drill targets for the next exploration phase. The data will also be used to evaluate the potential link between nickel-bearing lenses and the newly identified mineralization to the west. St-Georges' prospecting team visited the Manicouagan project a few weeks after completing the surface campaign at the Julie project. The complete set of chemical analyses from the collected samples will be released as the team completes the review and compilation of the results. Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) All samples were collected by experienced field teams under the direction of the company's qualified geologist. The samples were delivered to IGS Laboratories of Delson, Que., an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited facility. Analytical methods included four-acid digest with ICP-OES finish for base metals and fire assay with ICP-OES finish for platinum group elements.
