St George Mining Ignites Ambitious Rare Earths & Niobium Drill Campaign in Brazil

**St George Mining Limited** (ASX: SGQ) has officially launched a transformative drilling campaign at its Araxá Niobium-REE Project in Brazil’s renowned critical minerals belt — Minas Gerais. This bold initiative follows the Company’s strategic acquisition of the 100%-owned project in February 2025, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion into critical minerals.

The Araxá Project is located in one of the most fertile geological corridors for rare earth elements (REEs) and niobium, a metal vital for green energy technologies, aerospace, and advanced alloys. With global demand for REEs and niobium surging amid clean energy transitions and geopolitical supply chain concerns, St George’s entry into Brazil is both timely and strategic. The Company aims to capitalise on the growing need for secure, ethical, and scalable sources of critical minerals.
