PRIORITY DRILLING TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK AT THE LANTERN SOUTH PROSPECT

Highlights

  • Program of Works approvals from the Mines Department have been received for priority drilling at the Lantern South Prospect

  • 4000m aircore program to follow up along strike of RC drill hole LARC003 which returned a significant intersection of: 12m @ 0.38% Ni, 0.33% Cu from 124 metres down hole Including 5m @ 0.49% Ni, 0.46% Cu from 126m[1]

  • Petrography confirms pentlandite and chalcopyrite magmatic sulphides in LARC003 from ultramafic rock similar to the geology at the Nova mine

  • Aircore drilling program scheduled to commence next week

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce aircore drilling is scheduled to commence next week at the Lantern South Prospect in Western Australia’s Fraser Range Nickel Belt following receipt of Mines Department approvals for follow up drilling around the nickel-copper sulphide intersection.[(1)]

A 4000m aircore program is planned along strike of the sulphide mineralisation in LARC003 on the margin of a large intrusion with similar geology to the Nova ore body.

Over two kilometres of untested strike length occurs at the Lantern Prospect with a large magnetic feature interpreted to represent the contact between the prospective intrusions and their host rocks.

Commenting on the upcoming program Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said: “This next round of aircore drilling will be an important step in the follow-up exploration of the sulphides already discovered at the Lantern Prospect. With over two kilometres of untested strike length we are aiming to identify mineralisation similar to Nova-style nickel deposits. Our petrography results are again telling us we have the right rock types to host a nickel deposit and, with Legend Mining recently having made a discovery along strike at the Mawson Prospect, this is a very exciting time to be exploring in the Fraser Range.”

==> picture [478 x 332] intentionally omitted <==

The Lantern Prospect lies approximately 50km along strike from Legend Mining’s Mawson Prospect (Figure 4) where a massive sulphide discovery was recently announced.[ (2)] Two priority targets have been developed in the Lantern area and have been renamed Lantern North and Lantern South (Figure 3). Lantern North is a large EM anomaly at around 340 metres depth while Lantern South contains disseminated nickel-copper sulphide at 110 metres depth. Both targets occur on the margin of a large gabbronorite intrusion measuring 2km by 2.3km on surface, similar to the dimensions of the Nova sill complex which measures 2.4km by 1.2km. (3)

A first-pass aircore drilling program at the Lantern South Prospect in 2019 identified a nickel and copper geochemical anomaly. RC drilling beneath this anomaly in March 2020 showed that it was caused by disseminated nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. Galileo now plans to interrogate the two kilometres of strike around the sulphide intersection with additional aircore drilling for the purpose of identifying geochemical responses which, if found, are likely to be related to further sulphide mineralisation.

A 4000 metre aircore drilling program has been designed around and along strike of LARC003 which intersected the disseminated sulphides. A magnetic anomaly in the area is interpreted to represent the contact between prospective intrusive rocks and their host rocks (Figure 1).

Petrography results from LARC003 show that prominent magmatic nickel-copper sulphides occur as veins, disseminations and stringers in a lherzolite (ultramafic) cumulate rock. The surrounding rocks are described as cumulate lherzolite and leucogabbronorite and are interpreted to form part of a layered intrusive complex.

The petrographic results and scale of Lantern South compare favourably with the Nova-Bollinger maficultramafic intrusion which measures approximately 2.4km by 1.2km. The intrusive rocks at Nova are described as peridotite (harzburgite or lherzolite), pyroxenite, gabbronorite and norite.[ (3)]

Having identified rock types with the potential to host magmatic nickel-copper deposits, Galileo has checked off an important milestone in the exploration for new deposits at the Lantern Prospect.

==> picture [464 x 187] intentionally omitted <==

Downhole electro-magnetic (EM) surveying has been undertaken at both the Lantern South and Lantern North targets. 200m square surface loops were used to provide an electrical source while a probe was run down the drill holes looking for subsurface responses. The results were inconclusive with no response obtained from the sulphide intersection in LARC003. Only a conductive response related to the cover rocks above the drill hole was detected. A diamond drill hole is currently being planned to test for mineralisation beneath LARC003.

Two RC drill holes at the Lantern North target were surveyed, however no response was recorded from the deep EM conductor originally detected by surface moving loop surveying. The drill holes at Lantern North extended to approximately 210m below surface and may not have come close enough to the deep conductor which has been modelled at 340m depth. A surface fixed loop EM survey is being planned to delineate the extent of the conductor at Lantern North to refine the target for drill testing.

Sulphide zones that are semi-massive or heavily disseminated, rather than massive, may not be visible to EM methods while remaining economically attractive targets. Galileo will continue to use a combination of geophysical techniques including magnetic, gravity, EM and possibly IP data sets to focus on the sections of the intrusive complex with the greatest potential for mineralisation.

Figure 3 shows the response from ground moving loop EM surveying over the 2km by 2.3km intrusion (left image) with the image on the right clearly depicting the magnetic response. The best targets identified to date are on the margins of the intrusion, particularly at Lantern South, where ultramafic cumulate rocks containing sulphides have been drilled. The western and eastern flanks of the intrusion have yet to be drill tested and represent compelling targets based on available results. A first pass line of aircore drilling on the western flank of the large intrusion is included in the upcoming aircore program.

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

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.
•See Galileo Mining’s ASX announcement dated 17th
March 2020 for previously reported assay details
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’). _
•Geometry of the mineralisation is inferred from the
aircore and RC drillholes data and is best described
as sub-vertical. Drilling intercept data of lithologies
implies an apparent dip of the prospective
lithologies on NW-SE section of between 60 and 80
degrees to the southeast, however no reliable
quantitative measurements exist.
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 and plan map of the drill hole
