Final samples from aircore drilling program at the Lantern Prospect confirm anomalous nickel with a best result of:
o7m @ 0.18% nickel from 45m (drill hole LAAC075) -
Maiden program at Lantern has defined a large-scale suite of nickel prospective intrusions over a seven-kilometre horizon
-
Petrography results from Lantern verifies rock types capable of hosting magmatic nickel mineralisation
-
Extensive ground electro-magnetic survey at the Lantern Prospect to commence in May
-
Drilling approvals received for the Empire Rose Prospect with drilling scheduled for May
Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the final drilling and petrology results from maiden aircore drilling at the Company’s Lantern Prospect within the Fraser Range province in Western Australia. The latest nickel assays have confirmed the highly prospective nature of the Lantern area. Petrography -the scientific description of rock compositionand drilling results have also demonstrated that mafic-ultramafic rocks, with the capacity to host magmatic nickel mineralisation, occur at Lantern as large-scale intrusions over at least seven kilometres.
The aircore drilling program has successfully delineated target zones within the Lantern area of sufficient scale to potentially host significant volumes of economic mineralisation. Ground electro-magnetic (EM) surveying designed to look for conductors associated with nickel sulphide mineralisation is planned to commence in May.

Drilling approvals at the Company’s Empire Rose Prospect, 30 kilometres from the Nova mine site in the Fraser Range, have been received. Empire Rose is a well-developed prospect with initial aircore drilling results including 36 metres @ 0.2% nickel[(1)] . Follow up EM and induced polarisation (IP) surveying defined a conductive target with potential for sulphide mineralisation. Drill testing of the Empire Rose prospect is scheduled to start in May with a Reverse Circulation (RC) pre-collar to be followed by a diamond drill tail through the target zone.

Commenting on the latest results, Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said the Lantern area had exceeded expectations, and with the upcoming drilling at Empire Rose the Fraser Range Project is becoming a major focus for the Company.
“Our exploration team at Galileo has come out of the privately owned Creasy Group where we previously made the Silver Knight discovery in the Fraser Range. We currently hold a high quality land package in the Fraser Range, in Joint Venture with the Creasy Group, and are aiming to repeat our earlier success. The first round of aircore drilling at Lantern has delivered numerous positive indicators with sample results, mineralogy, and rock types, all increasing the prospectivity of the area.”
“The upcoming work at Empire Rose will be the first time Galileo has conducted deep drilling in the Fraser Range. Empire Rose is a stand-out target and it is an exciting time for the Company as we prepare for drill testing.”
First round drilling at the Lantern Prospect concluded with 76 drill holes completed for a total of 4,451 metres. Drill holes were designed to test for prospective rock types at a number of locations around the Lantern area. Geochemical, petrographical, and drill hole logging data show that multiple prospective intrusions have been identified over a horizon of approximately seven kilometres length.

Rock types identified by petrography work include gabbro, gabbro-norite, pyroxenite, peridotite and mafic cumulates. These rock types are frequently found in association with magmatic nickel ore systems and are a particularly good sign of the prospectivity of the area. Prospective rock units occur over a significant distance indicating the area has a suitable scale to potentially host an economic mineralised system. The maiden drilling program was successful in achieving all the aims of a first pass test with confirmation of rock types being one of several key criteria for moving the prospect forward to further work programs.
Follow up work will include a wide-ranging ground EM survey designed to identify electrically conductive signatures that may be related to economic sulphide mineralisation. Depth of cover was found to be relatively shallow with sedimentary cover rocks generally 40 to 60 metres thick over the underlying target rock units. Due to the shallow cover it is expected that ground EM will be an effective technique to efficiently penetrate beneath the overburden into the target rocks. EM surveying is planned to begin in May with results anticipated from June onwards.

A zone of geochemical anomalism, at the south eastern end of the Lantern Prospect, has been identified in a differentiated intrusion with nickel and copper values signifying the potential for mineralisation. This zone will be a focus area for the upcoming EM survey. Aircore drilling has only pierced the top of the Proterozoic

Empire Rose Prospect
Department of Mines drilling approvals have been received for planned programs at the Empire Rose prospect. The Empire Rose Prospect is a well-developed target where initial aircore drilling identified mafic and ultramafic rock types with the potential to host mineralisation. Subsequent EM and IP geophysical surveys successfully identified a strong conductor at approximately 250 metres below surface[ (2)] . Drill testing of this target is scheduled to begin in May with an RC pre-collar to be followed by a diamond tail drilled through the target zone.

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. |
•Aircore drilling was completed on traverses testing aeromagnetic or/and ground based gravity targets. •Drill cuttings representative of each 1m down hole interval of sample return were collected direct from the drill rig sample return system (cyclone) into a 20-litre plastic bucket and ground dumped in rows. •Each 1m sample pile from the residual (non-transported) portion of each hole was spear sampled to obtain representative 1 metre sub-samples to end of hole for laboratory analysis. A 1m bottom of hole sub-sample was also collected for laboratory analysis. •Sub-sample weights were in the range 2-3kg. •Certified QAQC standards (blank & reference) and field duplicate samples were included routinely with 1 per 20 primary sub samples being a certified standard, blank or a field duplicate. •Samples were submitted 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 25g pulped sample charge was digested using Aqua Regia (AR25/MS33) and ICP-MS was used to determine a 33 element suite: Au, Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Te, Ti, Tl, V, W, Zn. •An additional single metre sample of the last metre (EOH) drilled in each hole was spear sampled to obtain a representative sample for analyses. •A 50g pulped sample charge from the EOH sample was assayed by Fire Assay, ICP-MS determination (FA50/MS) for Au, Pt, Pd. •A 1g pulped sample chargefromthe |

| 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). _ |
•The Aircore drilling method was used with an 85mm blade bit. •Drillpower was the drilling contractor for the program utilising a KL150 model rig. |
|
| 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 by the geologist supervising the drilling. Poor or wet samples are recorded in the drill and sample log sheets. •The sample cyclone was routinely cleaned between holes and when deemed necessary within the hole. •No relationship has been determined between sample recovery and grade and there is insufficient data to determine if there is a sample bias. |
|

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 basis with logging including lithology, grainsize, mineralogy, texture, deformation, mineralisation, alteration, veining, colour and weathering. •Logging of drill chips is semi- quantitative and based on the presentation of representative drill chips retained for all 1m sample intervals 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. |
•All Aircore drill samples were collected using a PVC spear as 3m composites (2-3kg). Other composites of 2m and 1m were collected where required ie, at the bottom of hole or through zones of interest as identified by the geologist supervising the program. A specific 1m bottom of hole sub-sample was also collected by PVC Spear (2-3kg). •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. |

|
| 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 computer. 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 and have not been adjusted in anyway. |
|
| 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. |

| 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. |
•Aircore drill traverse spacing is not regular, the holes being placed to provide a systematic traverse pattern coverage of the geophysical domain/target area of interest. •Drill spacing along traverses has been at selective 200m, 100m or 50m intervals specific to the target zone and ongoing observations from the geologist during the drilling program. This spacing has been deemed adequate for first pass assessment only and is not considered sufficient to determine JORC Compliant Inferred Resources and therefore laboratory assay results and additional drilling would be required. •Drill holes were sampled in the residual (non-transported) portion of the profile on a 3m composite basis or as 1m or 2m samples as determined by the end of hole depth or under instruction from the geologist supervising the program. A 1m sub- sample from end of hole has also been collected. |
|
| 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. |
•All holes are vertical. •It is unknown whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures as the target setting is hosted in soft regolith material with no measurable structures recorded in drill core. •No quantitative measurements of mineralised zones/structures exist and all drill intercepts are reported as down hole length, true width unknown. Blade refusal depth of the drill rig will vary due to rock type, structure and alteration intersected as well as in-hole drillingconditions. |
|
| Sample security |
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. | •Each sub-sample was put into and tied off inside a calico bag. •Several of the samples were placed in a large plastic “polyweave” bag which are then zip tied closed, for transport to laboratory analysis no loss of material. •Laboratory analysis samples are delivered directly to the laboratory in Kalgoorlie byGalileo staff. |
|
| Audits or reviews |
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
•Continuous improvement internal reviews of sampling techniques and procedures are ongoing. No external audits have beenperformed. |

| 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. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
•NA |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
•The 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 granulite facies metamorphosed and partially retrogressed sedimentary, mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks as determined by petrographic work. |
| 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 drillhole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level– elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length andinterception depth o hole length.• _Ifthe 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 include the use of a 500ppm Nickel assay lower cut for individual assays with Ni, Cu and Co assays reported for the >500ppm Ni interval. •No internal or external Ni dilution is used. |
|
| 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’). |
•It is unknown whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures as the host formations are 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. •No quantitative measurements of mineralised zones/structures exist, and all drill intercepts are reported as down hole length in metres, true width unknown. |
|
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any 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, plan map and section map of the drill hole locations with respect to each other and with respect to other available data. •Drill hole locations have been determined with 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 available relevant information is presented. | |
| Other substantive |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited |
