Highlights

  • RC drilling has commenced at the Delta Blues prospect in the Fraser Range nickel belt

  • Program of five drill holes for 1,000 metres of drilling is designed to test the top of EM conductors at the DB1 and DB2 targets

  • Follow up diamond drilling is anticipated to test the deeper parts of the EM conductors with timing subject to rig availability

  • Initial drilling is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete with a market update and assays to follow

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce reverse circulation (RC) drilling is underway at the Company’s Delta Blues prospect within the Fraser Range Nickel Belt in Western Australia.

Delta Blues prospects DB1 and DB2 represent compelling targets with EM anomalies at both locations supported by positive interpretations of magnetic, gravity, and aircore drilling data.[1]

The top of the conductor at DB1 starts at 175m below surface while the top of the conductor at DB2 is just 125m below surface. RC drilling is planned to intercept the top of the modelled conductors to provide information on the source of the modelled EM anomalies.

EM anomalies can have various sources including mineralised sulphides and it is anticipated that the current RC drilling will provide critical information for the design of follow up diamond drilling expected to occur later in the year.

Commenting on the upcoming drilling program Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said; “ We are very excited to have started the first deep drilling campaign at our Delta Blues prospect. The quality of the modelled EM conductors combined with the magnetic and gravity interpretations provide a strong case for potential sulphide mineralisation.

RC drilling will deliver a good test of the near surface sections of the DB1 and DB2 targets. The present drilling campaign is expected to take two weeks to complete, and we look forward to updating the market as results become available.”
