Active Exploration Zone

Galileo Mining, Legend Mining, S2 Resources, Creasy, IGO

  • Lantern and Delta Blues - two key prospect areas in the northern Fraser Range

  • Lantern Prospect is 50km along strike from Legend Mining’s Mawson Prospect

  • Delta Blues Prospect is along strike from Legend Mining’s Crean and Worsley Prospects and S2 Resources’ prospect

  • IGO aggressively exploring the Fraser Range with a very large land position

  • Galileo tenements surrounded by Legend Mining and IGO tenure

  • First ever RC drilling at the Lantern Prospect discovers disseminated nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation[(1)]

  • 12m @ 0.38% Ni, 0.33% Cu from 124m down hole Including 5m @ 0.49% Ni, 0.46% Cu from 126m (LARC003)

  • Follow up diamond drilling has confirmed highly prospective sulphide mineralisation at Lantern

  • Additional early stage magnetic and gravity targets with ongoing aircore drilling and EM surveying programs

1) See Galileo Mining ASX Announcement dated 17[th] March 2020

8

Nickel Deposits in the Fraser Range

  • Undercover mineralisation means there are no surface indications (soil anomalies, rock outcrop, etc.)

  • Aircore drilling confirms rock types beneath cover

  • Electromagnetic (EM) surveys map out conductors at depth that may contain economic nickel deposits

  • RC and diamond drilling is used to drill test targets from 50 metres beneath surface

  • Galileo has quality EM targets, confirmed sulphide mineralisation, and is actively exploring for further discoveries

9

EM Surveying

Expanded Moving Loop Electro Magnetic (MLEM) surveys are underway at Fraser Range

  • Aim is to identify new zones of nickel sulphide mineralisation

  • Large conductive target revealed at the Green Moon prospect, 6km from known sulphide mineralisation at Lantern

  • Surveys designed to cover an area of 46km[2] , over two times larger than the EM survey completed in 2019

10

Recent Drilling Activity

RC and diamond drilling campaign

  • First diamond drill program conducted at Galileo’s northern Fraser Range project and the first ever to be undertaken looking for nickel in the project area

----- End of picture text -----

  • 23m of heavily disseminated, blebby and banded nickel-copper sulphides in ultramafic host rock from Lantern South (LARC013D)[1]

  • 16m of disseminated and blebby sulphide within an overall 108m zone of disseminated sulphide in gabbronorite host rock from Lantern East (LARC008D)[1]

  • Increased confidence in regional prospectivity

  • (1) See GAL ASX Announcements dated 9[th] September 2020 and 28[th] October 2020 for details

Lantern South Prospect

  • Ultramafic intrusion with nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation on the western margin

  • Limited drilling with potential for additional mineralisation

  • Open to the south and at depth – follow up drilling required

  • First appearance of high tenor massive sulphide over small intersection demonstrates the potential for high grade intercepts

  • Confirmation of nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at Lantern South greatly increases the prospectivity of Galileo’s ground position in the Fraser Range

  • (1) See GAL ASX Announcements dated 28[th] October 2020 and 17[th] November 2020 for details

12

Lantern East Prospect

  • Large EM target on the margin of a major gabbronorite intrusion

  • Disseminated sulphide in the only diamond drill hole so far completed (LARC008D)

  • Source of conductive anomaly adjacent to sulphides in LARC007 and LARC008D has yet to be identified suggesting potential for additional sulphide mineralisation

  • Five rounds of EM surveying have defined the target at less than 200 metres depth – ready for drill testing

13

Delta Blues Prospect

  • Aircore drilling in late 2019 showed nickel prospective intrusive rock units

  • Weathered sulphide (0.5 – 1%) observed in petrographic samples

  • Prospective area with Legend Mining and S2 Resources active along strike in both directions (see map)

  • EM surveying to begin in November to establish targets for drill testing

  • Developing work programs in a highly prospective and active exploration zone

14

Norseman Project

  • 278 square kilometres of prospective ground at the southern end of the prolific Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt

  • Tenements are prospective for komatiite hosted nickel sulphide, gold, copper and nickel-cobalt laterite mineralisation

  • Current JORC compliant 25 Mt nickel-cobalt laterite resource[(1)]

  • Nickel and gold soil sampling programs designed to build up targets for drilling

  • Premier project location:

  • 10 km from the town of Norseman and the historic 5 Million oz Norseman gold mine

  • Adjacent to sealed Coolgardie-Esperance highway

  • Access to gas, water and rail infrastructure

  • 180km from the deep-water Port of Esperance

1) See slide 18 for details

15

A Significant Investment Opportunity

  • $7.7 million in cash = well funded junior exploration company

  • Highly leveraged to discovery success with current market cap around $34 million

  • Fraser Range exploration with strong potential for high value nickel deposits

  • Active explorer with experienced management and team focussed on making discoveries

  • Emphasis on drilling programs as the best method to create lasting value through resource discovery
