Galileo Mining Drilling at Callisto Palladium Discovery
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) has kicked off RC drilling at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Callisto palladium discovery within the Norseman project area in Western Australia.
Galileo Mining has a 4,000-metre program planned that is anticipated to run for approximately five weeks.
The drill program is focussed on the Callisto discovery and is intended to follow up on previous drilling of six drill holes reported in May that each intersected palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel sulphide intersections.
Of these, NRC266 was also analysed for rhodium with positive results subsequently released to the market.
“It is great to be back drilling at Callisto so soon after the release of results from the first drill program in May,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“The current drilling aims to expand on the early results with drilling designed at a 50 metre spacing across strike to be followed by drill lines along strike to the north.
“The mineralisation intersected to date contains palladium, platinum, gold, copper, nickel, and rhodium, and the grades appear to be increasing towards the eastern target zone.
“The extensive prospective strike, combined with the thick and consistent mineralisation drilled to date, indicates the potential for a large mineralised system.
“Approximately 20 holes will be undertaken in this round of drilling and we look forward to updating the market with results from this exciting new discovery.”
