wall mount fixing suggestions

Just wondered if someone could advise what bolt method I should use for mounting.

I'm mounting above fireplace, (breast is on the outside wall) and the inside is plaster over breezeblack as far as I can tell (sound like brick/etc when I knock the wall)

Anyone suggest a test method apart from drilling a hole?

Appreciated

Mark

Spoke with someone recommended on here in the end who suggested since it's the opposite side to the outside breast, expanding bolts or decent quality wallplug/bolts should be more than sufficient.

Interesting that he also mentioned that the amount of outward pressure is far less that what people think, with many going over the top with fixing techniques. Anyway, I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.
