Highlights

  • Mining Lease Application M63/671 covering 654 hectares has been lodged with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety

  • Norseman Cobalt Project Scoping Study work progressing with concentration test work, leaching test work and scoping level CAPEX and OPEX estimates in progress

  • Resource extension drilling completed at the Mt Thirsty Resource

  • Drilling completed at the Hobgoblin Prospect with shallow highgrade cobalt results:

  • 21m @ 0.15% cobalt from 21m including 3m @ 0.36% Cobalt from 27m (drill hole NRC050)

  • o 6m @ 0.12% cobalt from 6m (drill hole NRC036)

  • Second round of RC drilling has been completed at the Mission Sill cobalt and platinum/palladium prospects with assay results expected in late September/October

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a mining lease application ( MLA ) has been submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). The MLA covers the Company’s Mt Thirsty resource in the Goldfields region of Western Australia and is a significant step towards the development of the larger Norseman Cobalt Project (Figure 1).

The Norseman Cobalt Project Scoping Study, based on the JORC compliant resources at Mt Thirsty and at the Mission Sill, is progressing well with concentration test work underway. Metallurgical samples will be utilised for leaching test work prior to the completion of scoping level capital and operating costs for the project. The Norseman Cobalt Project Scoping Study is expected to be finalised in or around November 2018.

Resource extension drilling at Mt Thirsty has highlighted a new zone of mineralisation to the north of the existing JORC compliant resource (Figure 2). Infill drilling will be required prior to any recalculation of the current resource model. Exploration drilling at the Hobgoblin prospect has also identified a new zone of mineralisation at greater than 0.06% cobalt over 1km of strike length (Figure 3).

Galileo Managing Director, Brad Underwood, said the mining lease application, the progress of the scoping study and the latest exploration results all demonstrated the Company’s desire to progress the development of the Norseman Cobalt Project in a short time frame.

“Since listing on the 29[th] of May 2018 we have completed over 10,000 metres of exploration and metallurgical drilling at our Norseman project. These programs have allowed us to move quickly into the scoping phase of development and, under the current time line, we expect to have the scoping study finished in November 2018”.

“With our second exploration drilling program recently completed at the Norseman Cobalt Project we also aim to deliver additional positive exploration results over the coming month.” Mr Underwood said.

Figure 1 below shows the location of the new mining lease application with respect to Galileo’s other resources at the Mission Sill and to regional cobalt prospects. Environmental flora and fauna surveys are planned to commence in October 2018 and stakeholder liaison will be ongoing during the process of moving the MLA through the application phase towards grant.

A key advantage of the Norseman Cobalt Project is its proximity to developed infrastructure with a gas pipeline, water pipeline, railway and sealed highway all within four kilometres of the MLA. The high level of developed infrastructure is expected to provide a substantial competitive advantage to Galileo with respect to cobalt projects in other parts of Australia and in other regions of the world. In addition, Western Australia has a well-established mining legislation framework with clear pathways for the development of mineral resources. The jurisdiction of Western Australia is another meaningful advantage for Galileo in the development of its cobalt project.

Concentration test work on diamond core metallurgical samples (see ASX announcement dated 13[th] August 2018) is currently being completed at Nagrom Laboratory in Perth. ALS Metallurgy has been commissioned to complete leaching test work on metallurgical material produced by Nagrom while SGS-Bateman has been awarded the contract for the overall Norseman Cobalt Project Scoping Study. SGS-Bateman has undertaken an initial Processing Options Review for Galileo and will build on this early work in completing the Norseman Cobalt Project Scoping Study.

Exploration Update

Cobalt mineralisation was intercepted at the Mount Thirsty Prospect to the north of the currently existing JORC 2012 compliant resource (see Figure 2). Exploration drill holes were placed on a 100m by 100m grid pattern with nine holes returning mineralised intercepts above 0.06% cobalt. Infill drilling to a 50m spacing will be required to bring the new area of mineralisation into JORC reportable status should results allow.

Significant intercepts for the Mt Thirsty drilling above 0.08% cobalt are shown in Appendix 2 with results indicating a blanket of cobalt-oxide mineralisation at the upper and lower saprolite interface. This is a consistent geological location of cobalt mineralisation across the Norseman Cobalt Project and suggests the potential for more discoveries of similar quality in areas that have not previously been drill tested.

Drilling at the Hobgoblin prospect consisted of 100m by 100m pattern drilling over an area of mapped laterite with potential for cobalt mineralisation. Assays indicate an area of over 1km strike with results greater than 0.06% cobalt (see Figure 3). Mineralisation on the Galileo tenement is restricted to the west by the tenement boundary. Significant intercepts for the Hobgoblin drilling above 0.08% cobalt are shown in Appendix 4. Cobalt was intercepted at shallow depths between 6 and 42 metres below surface with mineralisation again analogous to the Company’s existing JORC resources at the Norseman Cobalt Project. Infill drilling to a 50m spacing will be required to bring the new area of mineralisation into JORC reportable status should results allow.

First pass exploration drilling has been undertaken at the Imp and Woodcutter prospects with 21 drillholes completed for a total of 1,632 metres. No significant assays were returned from these prospects. Drillhole collar locations for the Imp and Woodcutter prospects are shown in Appendix 5.

Since listing on the 29[th] of May 2018 the Company has completed 10,817 metres of exploration drilling at its Norseman project being a total of 229 drill holes. The drilling was completed in two rounds with assays from the second round of drilling currently outstanding. The outstanding assays relate to 3,530 metres of drilling over 92 drill holes undertaken at the Mission Sill cobalt-platinum-palladium prospects and to infill drilling at the Hobgoblin prospect. Results from the latest round of drilling are expected to become available in late September and October 2018.

Galileo Mining Ltd – Norseman Cobalt Project JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
•Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling, was
used to obtain one metre individually
bagged chip samples.
•Each RC bag was spear sampled to
provide a 3 metre representative
composite sample for analyses.
•Resampling at 1m intervals will be
undertaken on anomalous cobalt
samples.
•QAQC standards (blank & reference)
and duplicate samples were included
routinely with 1 per 20 samples being a
standard or duplicate.
•Samples were sent to an independent
commercial assay laboratory.
•All assay sample preparation
comprised oven drying, jaw crushing,
pulverising and splitting to a
representative assay charge pulp.
•A four acid digest was used for a multi-
element analysis suite including Ag, Al,
As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu,
Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo,
Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb, Sc,
Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W,
Y, Zn, Zr by ICP-MS or ICP-OES for all
samples.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
_oriented and ifso, by what method, etc). _
•RC drilling was undertaken using a 5
½ “drill bit completed by Red Rock
Drilling Pty Ltd.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
•Sample recoveries are visually
estimated for each metre with poor or
wet samples recorded in drill and
sample log sheets.
•The sample cyclone was routinely
cleaned at the end of each 6m rod and
when deemed necessary.
•No relationship has been determined
between sample recoveries and grade
and there is insufficient data to
determineifthereis a sample bias.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
_level of detailto support appropriate Mineral _
•Geological logging of drill holes was
done on a visual preliminary basis with

•All RC drill samples were collected
using a PVC spear as 3m composites
(2-3kg). Other composites of 2m and
4m and individual 1m samples were
collected where required ie, at the
bottom of hole.
•The samples were dried and
pulverised before analysis.
•QAQC reference samples and
duplicates were routinely submitted
with each batch.
•The sample size is considered

•RC chip samples were analysed for a
multi-element suite (44 elements) by
ICP-MS or ICP-OES following a four
acid digest. The assay methods used
are considered appropriate.
•QAQC standards and duplicates were
routinely included at a rate of 1 per 20

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
•Drill hole spacing for the individual drill
holes was based on a 200m by 50m
grid pattern, a 400m by 50m grid
pattern, or on spot locations between
drill lines.
•Depending on the assessment of the
drill data it is expected that drilling on a
200m by 50m grid pattern and on a
400m by 50m grid pattern may be
adequate to establish an inferred
resource based
on the style of
mineralisation intercepted.
•Drill holes were samples on a 3m
composite basis or as 1m, 2m or 4m
samples at the end of the hole as
required. Where anomalous values are
returned

may
be
submittedforassay.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
•It is unknown whether the orientation
of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures as the
mineralisation is hosted in soft regolith
material with no measurable structures
recorded in drill core.
•The mineralisation occurs in highly
weathered regolith material and no
structures have been recorded from
drilling.
•Given the nature of mineralisation it is
thought that the geometry is best
described as horizontal or sub-
horizontal however no quantitative
measurements exist and all drill
intercepts are reported as down hole
length, truewidthunknown.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. •Each sample was put into a tied off
calico bag and then several placed in a
large plastic “polyweave” bag which
was zip tied closed. For transport,
sampled were placed on wooden
pallets inside plastic “polyweave” “Bulk
Bags” ensuring no loss of material.
•Samples were delivered directly to the
laboratory in Kalgoorlie by Galileo’s
freight contractor.
Audits or

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
_case. _
•Refer to drill hole collar and intercept
reporting table in the body of the report
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
_equivalent values should be clearly stated. _
•Weighted averaging has been used,
based on the sample interval, for the
reporting of drilling results.
•Aggregation procedures are described
in the footnotes to the drill hole
intercept table in the body of the report.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
•The mineralisation occurs in highly
weathered regolith material and no
structures have been recorded from
drill core.
•Given the nature of mineralisation it is
thought that the geometry is best
described as horizontal or sub-
horizontal however no quantitative
measurements exist and all drill
intercepts are reported as down hole
length, truewidthunknown.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
_sectional views. _
•Project location map and plan map of
the resource with respect to the
metallurgical holes drilled has been
included along with accurate hand-held
GPS drill hole collar location (Garmin
GPS78s) +/-5m in X/Y/Zdimensions.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
_Results. _
•All significant results are reported.
