St George Mining has unveiled another batch of eye-catching rare earths and niobium assays from its giant Araxá project in Brazil, with thick zones of ultra-high grades outside the existing resource. The system remains open in all directions, with three rigs drilling 24/7 and more samples in the lab. The growing footprint is shaping Araxá as one of the Western world's standout critical-minerals discoveries.

St George Mining has extended the boundaries of its world-class Araxá rare earths and niobium project in Brazil after a second diamond hole returned 87.7m at 2.95 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) and 0.41 per cent niobium oxide from just 2m depth. The result confirms strong continuity of mineralisation west of the current 40 million tonne resource grading 4.13 per cent TREO.

BMG Resources has struck more high-grade gold at its Bullabulling project near Coolgardie, with hits including 2m at 8.5g/t gold and 1m at 15.5g/t. The company says the mineralisation at Bullabulling North mirrors that of Minerals 260's 2.3Moz Bullabulling Mine next door, hinting the gold trend could extend into BMG's ground.

St George Mining has tabled more stellar results in drilling from its Brazilian Araxa project, with a 98.4m hit going 3.07% TREO and 0.43% niobium pentoxide headlining the pack just 230m west of its resource. The company's share price has been on a wild ride since September when its first batch of RC drill results from Araxa stunned the market.

St George Mining has raised a staggering $72.5 million at 10 cents a share with $50m flowing from big institutions and $22.5m coming in from billionaire Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting.
