High potential for discoveries at the Norseman Project with outstanding infrastructure including road and rail within five kilometres of major targets
Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update for activities completed at the Company’s highly prospective Fraser Range and Norseman tenements.
In the Fraser Range an updated interpretation of the detailed airborne magnetic data surrounding the Lantern Prospect has shown multiple untested targets prospective for Nova style nickel-copper deposits. The interpretation is supported by aircore drilling undertaken earlier this year which showed prospective intrusions at the Lantern and Delta Blues Prospects.
Company activities in the first half of 2020 will be focussed on the drilling of Fraser Range prospects in the search for high value new discoveries.

At the Norseman Project recent drilling has also identified anomalous copper and zinc mineralisation over 800 metres of strike length at two prospect locations with new targets being developed for additional work in the future.

Commenting on the recent activities Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said: “ The Fraser Range is an exciting new mineral province with two known nickel-copper discoveries at Nova and Silver Knight. Galileo has early stage prospects at Lantern and Delta Blues where we have completed just two aircore drilling programs.
From this initial drilling we successfully defined prospective rocks under cover giving us a high level of confidence in the updated interpretation which has yielded more targets for drill testing. We intend on making the Fraser Range a priority work area for the first half of 2020 as we seek to make discoveries in this highly prospective region of Western Australia.”
Figure 1 shows the location of the known nickel-copper deposits in the Fraser Range along with Galileo’s prospects and the newly developed target zones. Detailed airborne magnetic data flown at a 50-metre line spacing has been utilised to undertake the interpretation. Prospective mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the Fraser Range often display unique magnetic signatures due to remanent magnetisation of the intrusions and the deflection of volcano-sedimentary host rocks as the intrusions were emplaced.

A similar style of interpretation was previously successful at both the Lantern and Delta Blues Prospects where subsequent aircore drilling and petrography confirmed nickel-copper prospective rock units.[(1)]
Figure 2 displays the new interpreted intrusions (green ellipses) which will be targeted with aircore drilling programs to assess the bedrock geology for mineral potential beneath cover rocks. Cover rocks in the area are estimated at between 40 and 100 metres with the aircore drilling technique providing a cost-effective method of first pass assessment. Follow up programs at target areas deemed prospective will include ground electro-magnetic surveying and more advanced drilling methods such as RC and diamond drilling. The same exploration methodology has been used at the Lantern Prospect which is now at the stage of RC and diamond drilling[(1)] .
Galileo plans to target its Fraser Range exploration portfolio with the following work programs;
-
RC drilling at the Lantern Prospect
-
Down hole electro-magnetic surveying at the Lantern Prospect followed by diamond drilling
-
Aircore drilling at the Delta Blues Prospect to delineate the near surface boundaries of the prospective intrusive rock units
-
Aircore drilling of newly developed target zones north of the Lantern Prospect
-
Results of aircore drilling will be used in the design of electro-magnetic (EM) geophysical surveys to target conductive responses that may be related to nickel-copper mineralisation
At the Norseman Project 1,279 metres of RC drilling was completed at three prospects (Subzero, Roadside and Goblin – see Figure 3). Wide zones of sulphide alteration were intercepted at the Subzero and Roadside Prospects with up to 20% semi-massive sulphides recorded. Copper and zinc contents of the sulphide rich horizons reached maximum values of 0.19% and 0.96% respectively in 3 metre composite samples.
Drilling has established that significant hydrothermal alteration has occurred at both prospects with the prospective zones being at least 800m in strike length. The potential for an economic VMS style deposit remains high and the Company is establishing a track record of defining and drill testing prospective zones within the Norseman Project area. An untested volcanic package of rocks exists at the Woodcutters Prospect and will be targeted with soil sampling programs and electro-magnetic surveying prior to drill testing (see Figure 3 for Woodcutter Prospect location).
Scout drilling at Norseman has also confirmed a nickel prospective komatiite target under shallow cover at the Goblin Prospect. Magnetic inversion modelling was successfully used to target the basalt/komatiite contact under shallow cover rocks. The same technique will now be applied to the komatiite unit where it occurs along strike to the north at the Gremlin Prospect. The Gremlin Prospect is masked by shallow cover and has never been tested for nickel sulphide mineralisation associated with volcanic komatiite flows.

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. •A 1m sample split for each metre is collected at the time of drilling from the drill rig mounted cone splitter. •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 50g Lead Collection Fire Assay with ICP-OES finish was used to determine Au results •A four acid digest was used for a multi- element analysis suite including Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, 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- OESforallsamples. |
| 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 5.25“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 detail to support appropriate Mineral 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. _ |
•Geological logging of drill holes was done on a visual preliminary basis with full logging in progress to include lithology, grainsize, mineralogy, colour and weathering. •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 initial RC drill samples were collected using a PVC spear as 3m composites (2-3kg). Other composites of 2m and individual 1m samples were collected where required ie, at the bottom of hole. •Selected 1m samples for intervals deemed of interest by the Geologist supervising the drill rig were submitted to the assay laboratory. These 1m samples were collected at the time of drilling from the drill rig mounted cone splitter. These selected 1m interval samples refer to assays reported for drill-holes NRC241, NRC242 and NRC243 only. Additional 1m cone split samples for all holes at the Subzero Prospect may be submitted for assay at a later date. •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 |
•RC Chip samples were analysed for a multielement suite (48 elements) by ICP-MS following a four-acid digest. Assay for Au has been completed by 50gram Fire Assay with an ICP-OES finish. The assaymethods used are |

| 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 is collected on site using a standard set of logging templates entered directly into a laptop. Data is then sent to the Galileo database manager (CSA Global - Perth) for validation and upload into the database. •Assays are as reported from the laboratory and stored in the Company database. •Assays for Cu and Zn as reported have been converted to percent from parts-per-million laboratory data and reported as percent to 2 decimal places. |
|
| 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. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
•All 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 grid based. The holes being placed to intercept the interpreted mineralised position as identified by surface mapping and sampling activities and at depth by conductivity models of MLEM data. •Drilling was on 50 to 100m spacing on section and up 500m along strike. Drilling was a combination of follow up drilling and scout drilling of new prospects and the spacing and drillhole distribution is deemed insufficient to establish a JORC 2012 Compliant Resource. •Drill holes were sampled on a 3m composite basis or as 1m or 2m samples at the end of hole as required.

|||
| 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. •No drilling core has been completed for the measurement of possible structures. •Given the nature of mineralisation it is thought that the geometry is best described as subvertical however no quantitative measurements exist and all drill intercepts are reported as down hole length, true width unknown. •No quantitative measurements of mineralisedzones/structures exist. |
|
| 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. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
•Barrier Exploration completed three diamond drill holes at the Cowan West VMS prospect in 1971. •The GSWA 250k Norseman Map Sheet Explanatory Notes records that 13 metric tonnes of ore were produced from the pits and shaft at the Subzero Prospect in 1953. Average ore grade was 8.36% copper. |

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
•The Norseman target geology and mineralisation style is volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralisation occurring within the GSWA mapped Mount Kirk Formation •The Mount Kirk formation is described as “Acid and basic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks, intruded by basic and ultrabasic rocks” •The Fraser Range target geology is indicative of magmatic sulphide mineralisation hosted in or associated with mafic-ultramafic intrusions within the Fraser Complex of the Albany- Fraser Orogeny. •The underlying unweathered lithology is |

| 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. _ |
•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 intercept results. •Tables of the relevant assay intervals of significance are included in this release. Criteria for inclusion are based on an assay of >/= 0.1% Cu or 0.1% Zn over a minimum interval of 1m, 2m of internal dilution with intercepts of Cu or Zn reporting greater than 0.1% being reported. •Parts-per-million data reported from the assay laboratory for Cu and Zn have been converted to percent values and reported as percent values to 2 decimal places with upward roundingapplied. |
|
| 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 on surface with a general strike of 010° similar to the host rock •Geometry from surface outcrop is best described as sub-vertical. Drilling intercept data of lithologies implies an apparent dip of the prospective lithologies on E-W section of between 65 and 80 degrees to the west, however no reliable quantitative measurements exist. |

| 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. |
•Plan map of the general prospect area, detailed location plan map and representative section have been provided. Tables with drill-hole collar locations and zones of significant geochemical intercepts for target elements of interest Cu, Zn, Au, Ag are provided. Locations have been included using accurate hand-held GPS locations (Garmin GPS 78s) +/- 5m in X/Y dimensions and Z dimension from a DEM surface generated from detailed aeromagnetic survey data+/- 2m. |
|
| 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. |
•At both the Norseman and Fraser Range Projects, detailed 50m line spaced aeromagnetic data has been used for interpretation of underlying geology. Data was collected by Magspec Airborne Surveys Pty Ltd using a Geometrics G-823 caesium vapor magnetometer at an average flying height of 30m. •At the Fraser Range Project, detailed gravity data has also been used for interpretation of underlying geology. Data was collected using Scintrex CG-5 Autograv gravity meters positioned using a Leica GX1230 receiver and GNSS base station. •Fraser Range petrography was undertaken by R.N. England Consulting Geologist •GEM Geophysics Pty Ltd was contracted to complete the Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey. •MLEM survey data was collected with 400m loops using a Smartem V system and Jesse Deeps SQUID receiver in a 400m offset Slingram configuration. Z, X and Y component data were collected at a base frequency of 1Hz. •Maxwell software was utilised to process and model the MLEM data. •Modelling and interpretation of the EM survey geophysical data was undertaken by Spinifex Gpx Pty Ltd |
