St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CNSX:SX)(OTCQX:SXOOF)(FRANKFURT:85G) is pleased to inform that the phase 1 of its drilling campaign on the Isoukustouc property has resumed. The Company expects to complete a minimum of 1,200 meters on the B40 and northern Isoukustouc sectors of the property during the month of April. The Company is also initiating a private placement that should be completed in April.

The 2011-2012 Isoukustouc Drilling Campaign

In December 2011, the Company completed 2,100 metres of diamond drilling on the Mathilda section of the Isoukustouc property on the Quebec North Shore. The Company has now moved to the B40 and northern Isoukustouc sections of the property where 6 drill holes are planned for approximately 1,200 meters. Drilling on the B40 showing is conducted by Landdrill and supervised by Consul-Teck Exploration. Initiated last week, the first drill-hole (B40-12-01) reached a depth of 96 meters and intersected a +/- 10 meters mineralized zone near the surface consisting of 1-2% pyrrhotite+/-pentlandite with several zones attaining 5-8% pyrrhotite. This hole is located approximately 25 meters southwest of the historical B40 showing. (Pictures of some of the mineralized zone are showed below).

Drilling of the second hole (B40-12-02), located about 25 meters northeast of the historical showing, is currently underway. A third hole is planned in the vicinity of B40. Three additional drill holes will be performed to test positive magnetic anomalies along a metasediments/gabbro contact in the northern Isoukustouc sector. (See maps below)
