St George Mining’s dual track growth plan
St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Kerry Stevenson at Proactive about the company's recent acquisition of the Araxá niobium and rare earths project in Brazil. The deal, completed in February, provides St George with an advanced-stage project with high-grade niobium and rare earth elements.
Prineas highlighted niobium’s strategic importance, noting that it is primarily used to strengthen steel, with additional applications in medical technology, batteries, and defence. He emphasised the commodity's stable pricing due to limited global supply.
The company secured A$20 million in funding to advance the project and is preparing a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate, expected in the coming weeks. The existing data, based on historical drilling, indicates a 20-year mine life and a US$956 million NPV under a previous non-JORC study. St George aims to optimise the project for niobium, conduct further drilling, and expand the resource.
Prineas also addressed Brazil's mining jurisdiction, highlighting strong government support and agreements to expedite approvals. The company is pursuing a dual-track strategy, progressing toward development while ramping up exploration drilling to expand the resource base.
