THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) has now included rhodium assays from its previously announced drill hole NRC266 from the Callisto discovery at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Norseman project in Western Australia.

Galileo Mining reported an updated intersection for NRC266, to now be:

NRC266
33 metres at 2.05 grams per tonne 4E (palladium + platinum + gold + rhodium) (1.64g/t palladium, 0.28g/t platinum, 0.09g/t gold, 0.05g/t rhodium), 0.32 per cent copper and 0.3 per cent nickel from 144m.

Galileo has interpreted the results from the Callisto discovery to demonstrate similarities with South Africa’s Platreef deposits with disseminated sulphide mineralisation hosted in the lower unit of a layered ultramafic sill.

“The rhodium assays confirm the presence of this valuable metal within the Callisto mineralised system,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“With step out drilling expected to commence next week we will now be including rhodium in the assay suite for any further sulphide rich intersections.

“Based on the six drill holes completed so far at Callisto we anticipate more sulphide intersections in the next drill program and are hopeful that an increase in sulphide content will be matched by an increase in metal content.

“We are excited to be starting drilling again so soon after the recent discovery announcement and look forward to updating the market with results as they become available.”

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.”

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) is currently undertaking a large program of electro-magnetic (EM) surveying surrounding the company’s Lantern prospect in the Fraser Range region of Western Australia.

Galileo Mining reported the ongoing surveying recently inspected the Green Moon prospect, six kilometres from Lantern, where it claims to have identified another strong EM conductor to complement the existing targets at the Lantern East/South and North prospects.

The new conductor at the Green Moon prospect is located where near surface aircore drilling previously defined mafic intrusive rock types prospective for magmatic nickel-copper deposits.

The recently completed section of the EM survey covered 77.2 kilometres of survey lines being 790 stations over an area of approximately 31 square kilometres.

“Each program of exploration we undertake is bringing us closer to understanding the potential of the ground we are working,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Our ongoing EM surveys have revealed another strong conductor close to known zones of sulphide mineralisation at the Lantern prospect.

“Combining these results with the petrography data confirms that we are working in a highly prospective area.

“The targets at Lantern East and Lantern South are now ready for drilling and we are steadily developing a pipeline of new targets for further testing.

“The Fraser Range is an exciting province to be exploring with excellent chances of a high value nickel discovery being made.”

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) recently completed aircore drilling at the company’s Lantern prospect, within the Fraser Range nickel belt of Western Australia.

Galileo Mining said the drilling confirmed a highly prospective intrusive gabbronorite rock unit above a previously reported conductor with aircore drill holes hitting a maximum depth of 102 metres.

The drilling was designed as a first pass test to confirm the prospectivity of the conductive targets which have been modelled at approximately 340m depth.

Galileo said the confirmation of prospective rock units will assist targeting efforts for future programs of work, which is expected to include RC drilling and diamond drill hole testing of the conductive targets, looking for nickel sulphide mineralisation.

The Lantern Prospect is situated in the northern Fraser Range block where Galileo has 500 square kilometres ground holding, surrounded by Independence Group and Legend Mining, both of which are working up multiple prospects.

“The second drilling program at Lantern has again confirmed we have the right rock types with the potential to host significant nickel sulphide mineralisation,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The intrusive rock unit matches the location of a conductive zone at depth which provides us with an excellent target for drill testing.

“We also have access to diamond drill hole funding through the state government Exploration Incentive Scheme which allows us to efficiently use shareholder funds in the pursuit of high value discoveries.”

The aircore drilling has demonstrated that up to 100 metres of cover rocks and weathered regolith occur at the prospect resulting in relatively low penetration of the EM signal into the ground.

Galileo is now planning RC drilling at Lantern to provide a platform for Down Hole Electro-Magnetic (DHEM) surveying.

DHEM surveying across four proposed drill holes will allow for more accurate definition of the conductive response below the cover rocks prior to diamond drill hole testing.

The Lantern prospect is a blind, undercover target the company considers to represent a next generation undercover prospect with potential to host mineralisation.

Additional aircore drilling undertaken at a second target within the Lantern area has expanded the known extent of the prospective differentiated intrusion.

This has been interpreted by the company to demonstrate an increased search space for nickel mineralisation at the Lantern prospect along strike to the north of the conductive trend.

The new target occurs on the northern margin of a differentiated intrusion outside of the area covered by the original EM survey.

A new EM survey will be required to advance this target through to the drill testing phase of exploration.

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL) was excited to announce the results from the first drilling program at the company’s Subzero prospect near Norseman in Western Australia.

Galileo Mining drilled six Reverse Circulation (RC) at the Subzero prospect, constituting the first drilling program focussed on testing beneath a zone of outcrop with anomalous surface copper assays.

Three holes (NRC241 to 243) were drilled on the same section to provide an understanding of the geometry and potential for mineralisation.

A further three holes (NRC244 to 246) were drilled beneath the outcrop 25 metres north and south of the drill section.

Galileo declared the drilling had intersected highly anomalous zinc and copper in all six drill holes, including:

NRC243
29 metres at 0.49 per cent zinc from 119m, including 10m at 0.14 per cent copper, 0.37 per cent zinc and 1.9 grams per tonne silver from 137m;

NRC241
16m at 0.41 per cent zinc from surface, including 8m at 0.15 per cent copper, 0.62 per cent zinc and 3g/t silver from 8m; and

NRC242
14m at 0.22 per cent zinc from 26m and 16m at 0.28 per cent zinc from 42m.

The company said gold and copper assays suggest potential for VMS mineralisation from:

NRC241
6m at 0.1g/t gold, 1.9g/t silver and 0.12 per cent copper from 34m; and

NRC242
5m at 0.1g/t gold, 1.9g/t silver and 0.14 per cent copper from 76m.

“This first round of drilling at the Subzero prospect has demonstrated the rocks are mineralised with highly anomalous values of copper, zinc and gold,” Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“It appears that the mineralisation is related to a large-scale volcanic system with potential for an economic VMS style deposit.

“Importantly, our extensive conductive target has been shown to be related to sulphides containing copper and zinc.

“With over two kilometres of untested strike length we also have a large number of additional targets ready for our next phase of drilling to commence in November.”
