Galileo Mining Defines High Priority Norseman EM Targets
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) will be eager to tell punters at the 2022 RIU Explorers Conference about the results of recent EM surveying at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo Mining designed the EM surveying to target prospective areas on the margin of the large scale Jimberlana Dyke where the company’s recent aircore drilling intercepted massive sulphide mineralisation at 60 metres downhole.
Galileo has interpreted the EM data to show sulphide occurrence in drill hole NAC105 is located at the confluence of two large and highly conductive bodies.
A separate conductive target has been identified on the southern margin of the Jimberlana Dyke with extremely high modelled conductivities interpreted to represent a substantial source thickness.
A coincident magnetic anomaly at this location adds support to the target.
“The results of our EM surveying at Norseman are exceptional and, combined with the identification of sulphide in aircore drilling, we now have well developed targets ready for drill testing,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“The sulphide in aircore drilling is just 52 metres below surface (60 metres downhole) and is immediately above the modelled conductors which start at 70 metres below surface.
“The location of the sulphide on the margin of a large ultramafic dyke is an excellent setting for the development of mineralisation and the EM models provide substantial weight to the target.
“Further to the main sulphide target we have identified another strong conductor on the southern margin of the Jimberlana Dyke at a similarly prospective location.
“The modelled conductor at this location is accompanied by a magnetic anomaly and starts between 20 and 40 metres below surface.
“All of the new EM targets can be readily tested with RC drilling due to their shallow depths.
“RC drilling is planned to commence after heritage surveying and statutory approvals have been received.”
