The company plans to complete up to 2,100m of drilling with the objective of validating the historical results from past work on the South and North Zones of Villebon and at Cooper Lake.
In addition, St-Georges will drill some holes to verify extensions laterally and to depth from historical zones.
The first hole of the summer 2011 Phase II campaign is already completed, the company said.
The campaign is managed by Noram Mining & Engineering of Belleview, Washington and Consul-Teck of Val d’Or, Quebec, and the drilling is conducted by Val D’Or Drilling of Quebec.
The Phase II campaign aims to test the mineralization present at the South Zone and explore its extension to the northwest toward the North Zone.
The first phase of the current campaign was completed in December 2010, and the drill core intersected the mineralized peridotite at relatively shallow depth (35-110m).
The Cooper Lake area is known for its potential for hosting gold mineralization due to the presence of numerous quartz veins within volcanic host rocks.
St-Georges is engaged in the exploration of platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper, cobalt and nickel with projects in the Canadian province of Quebec.
