Second round of RC drilling due to commence in early September
Galileo Mining (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from initial reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling at the Norseman Cobalt Project in the Goldfields region of Western Australia confirm the presence of high-grade, shallow, cobalt mineralisation.
RC Drilling at the Goblin prospect, located 3 kilometres south of Galileo’s main resource at Norseman, has identified an extensive zone of cobalt mineralisation over 2 kilometres in strike length (Figure 1).
Cobalt was intercepted at shallow depths between 12 and 60 metres below surface with mineralisation analogous to the Company’s existing JORC resources at Norseman.
Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said the results from the first round of the Company’s recent exploration drilling were highly encouraging, supporting the prospect of additional cobalt resources at Norseman.
“Our first exploration drilling program at Norseman has demonstrated that significant zones of cobalt mineralisation exist outside of our current JORC resources.”
“These first results are a good indication that further discoveries may exist at our Norseman Cobalt Project. With our second exploration drilling program due to begin in early September we hope to deliver more positive results over the coming months.” Mr Underwood said.
The initial exploration results cover 58 RC drillholes completed at the Goblin prospect for a total of 3,163 metres. A further 79 RC drillholes for a total of 4,124 metres were drilled in the first program with assay results from this drilling expected over the coming weeks. The drillholes were primarily aimed at identifying cobalt mineralisation in order to expand the current JORC resource base. A second round of RC drilling is scheduled to commence on the 4[th] of September with results from this program expected in early October. The second round of RC drilling will be a combination of infill drilling at the Goblin prospect as well as new drilling at the Mission Sill prospect.

Technical Discussion
Cobalt mineralisation was intercepted at the Goblin prospect at the boundary between the upper and lower saprolite typically found between 12 and 40 metres below surface. The location of cobalt fits with Galileo’s exploration model for new deposits at Norseman which anticipates the development of a supergene cobalt oxide layer above weathered ultramafic rocks. Surface indications may be limited to ferricrete and/or anomalous cobalt in soil results however in some instances few surface indications are present due to transported soil cover. Prospects have been developed using a combination of surface indicators and magnetic imagery representing the underlying formative geology.

Appendix 1:
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 if so, 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 determine if there is a sample bias. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral |
Geological logging of drill holes included lithology, grainsize, mineralogy, colour and weathering. |
Page 8 | 12
==> picture [560 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary | |
| Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Logging of drill chips is qualitative and based on the presentation of the 1m samples in the chip trays. All drill holes were logged in their entirety. |
||
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
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 appropriate for the mineralisation style, application and analytical techniques used. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
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 samples. Further internal laboratory QAQC procedures included internal batch standards and blank.s Sample preparation was completed at Intertek Genalysis Laboratory, (Kalgoorlie) with digest and assay conducted by Intertek Genalyis Laboratory Services (Perth) using a four acid (4A/OM10) for multi-element. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
Field data was collected on site using a standard set of logging templates entered directly into a laptop. Data was then sent to the Galileo database manager for validation and upload into the database. Assays as reported from the laboratory and stored in the Company database have not been adjusted in any way. |
|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
Drill hole collars are surveyed with a handheld GPS with an accuracy of +/- 5m which is considered sufficient for drill hole location accuracy. |
==> picture [560 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
Page 9 | 12
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary | |
| Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Co-ordinates are in MGA94 datum, zone 51. Topographic control has an accuracy of 2m based on detailed satellite imagery derived DTM. |
||
| Data spacing and distribution |
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. Drillholes 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 1m samples mayl be submitted for assay. |
|
| 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, true width unknown. |

| 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 reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Continuous improvement reviews of sampling techniques and procedures are ongoing. No external audits have been performed. |

|---|---|---|
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Norseman Cobalt Project comprises two granted exploration licenses and one granted prospecting license covering 257km2, and 17 prospecting license applications covering 20.7 km2 All tenements within the Norseman Cobalt Project are 100% owned by Galile.o The Norseman Cobalt Project is centred around a location approximately 10km west of Norseman on vacant crown land. All tenements in the Norseman Cobalt Project are 100% covered by the Ngadju Native Title Determined Claim. The tenements are in good standing and there are no known impediments. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The target geology and mineralisation style is supergene cobalt-nickel mineralisation occurring within highly weathered regolith material. The underlying unweathered lithology is dominated by ultramafic to mafic intrusive and volcanic, typically orthocumulate to mesocumulate peridotite and pyroxenite rocks. Variable serpentinization has been recorded where fresh rock has been encountered. |
| 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 collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho 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. |

| 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, true width unknown. |
|
| 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 GPS 78s)+/-5m in X/Y/Z dimensions. |
|
| 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. | |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All meaningful and material results have been reported. |
|
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Anomalous cobalt composite samples will be sent for analysis on a 1m interval basis. Resource assessment will be undertaken by an independent Galileo contractor and more drillholes may be completed if required to establish a JORC compliant resource. |
