Galileo Mining Using EM Survey to Target Norseman Massive Sulphide
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) has commenced EM surveying of massive sulphide in aircore drilling at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo Mining completed drilling in November that identified sulphide mineralisation just 60 metres down hole with assays reporting prospective early results of: 1 metre at 0.24 per cent nickel, 0.35 per cent copper, 0.04 per cent cobalt and 0.25 grams per tonne palladium.
The company considers EM surveying to be a very useful tool in exploration due to the conductive response of sulphide minerals that can contain nickel, copper, cobalt and palladium.
As the sulphides in aircore drilling at Norseman are at shallow depth, Galileo designed a moving loop survey using a 100m loop size to maximise any subtle change in response that may be related to accumulations of massive, semi-massive and/or disseminated sulphides.
“We have been extremely fortunate to identify massive sulphide in aircore drilling while looking for nickel and palladium at our Norseman project,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“This result has significantly increased the prospectivity of the area and we are now using EM surveying to build on our positive early results and to define targets for follow up RC drill testing.”
