St George mining executive chairman John Prineas said: "The exploration at these projects to date has confirmed their potential, and we now have a tremendous opportunity to deliver a discovery through systematic and technically driven exploration.
"At Hawaii, we have already commenced on-ground exploration with a moving loop electromagnetic survey, to be followed by a maiden RC drilling programme later this month."
Located south-west of the Agnew-Wiluna belt, the Hawaii and Mt Alexander North projects host various nickel and gold deposits and are situated on the boundary of the Kalgoorlie and Youanmi Terranes adjacent to the Ida Fault.
