Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update including the start of diamond drilling at the Callisto palladium-platinum-gold-rhodium-copper-nickel discovery within the Company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.

Galileo’s Managing Director Brad Underwood commented; “Diamond core drilling is now underway at our Callisto discovery with plans for an initial 2,000 metres of drilling. Mineralisation at Callisto is open in all directions, and we will be using the diamond drill rig to focus on the down dip potential in particular. RC drill hole NRC278 finished in mineralisation and this will be the first diamond hole drilled at Callisto.

The diamond drilling is being conducted in conjunction with the ongoing RC drill program. We are one quarter of the way through the planned 10,000-metre program and have the capacity to extend the drill contract or to bring in more drill rigs as required.

With no known outcrop, and over five kilometres of prospective strike, we consider that a significant opportunity exists for additional discoveries at shallow depths. The RC rig will be focussing on both the shallow sections of the known mineralisation as well as the excellent prospectivity for further discoveries along strike. We are very excited to be rapidly progressing this new discovery.”

DIAMOND DRILL HOLES
----- End of picture text -----

2,479 metres of RC drilling has been completed of the planned 10,000 metre program. Eight drill holes were completed to full depth through the disseminated sulphide zone within the ultramafic sill. Four drill holes were pulled up early to allow for diamond drill tails to be completed through the mineralised zone. Figure 4 shows a plan view of the RC drilling undertaken to date for programs conducted earlier in the year and for the current ongoing drill program. Appendix 1 contains the drill hole details for the current program along with the logged disseminated sulphide zone for each relevant drill hole.

Assays have been received for drill holes NRC283, NRC284, NRC289, and NRC290. Results at a 0.5 g/t 3E cut-off are shown in Table 1 and in the Figure 2 and 3 sections. Results from these drill holes are in line with expectations and consistent with the grade distribution in the adjacent drill holes. The extent of sulphide mineralisation at Callisto, and the geometry of metal distribution within the sulphide zones, has yet to be determined. Drilling is planned in every direction to provide the data required to understand the mineralised system. First laboratory assays from the current RC drilling program are estimated to be available in early to mid-September.

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 as interpretation of
quantitative measurements of
mineralised zones/structures has not
yet been completed.

The measures taken to ensure sample security. •Each sample was put into a tied off
calico bag and then several placed in
large plastic “polyweave” bags which
were zip tied closed.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
•The Norseman target geology and
mineralisation style is nickel-copper-
PGE mineralisation related to layered
intrusions and komatiite nickel sulphide
mineralisation occurring within the

•The Mount Kirk formation is described
as “Acid and basic volcanic rocks and
sedimentary rocks, intruded by basic
and ultrabasic rocks”
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 collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o 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 table in
Appendix 1 and assay results in Tables
1 and 2.
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.

Tables of the relevant assay intervals
of significance are included in this
release.

Parts-per-billion and parts-per-million
data reported from the assay
laboratory have been converted to
grams-per-tonne for Au, Pd, Pt.

Parts-per-million data reported from
the assay laboratory for Cu and Ni
have been converted to percent values
and reported as percent values
rounded to 2 decimal places. 3E
intercepts have been calculated as the
sum of Au, Pd and Pt assays in
grams-per-tonne rounded to 2 decimal
places.

The reported significant intercepts
calculated using a lower cut of 1g/t 3E
have a maximum of 1m of internal
dilution and include the corresponding
interval interceptfor Pd,Pt,Au, Cu

and Ni

The reported significant intercepts
calculated using a lower cut of 0.5g/t
3E have a maximum of 3m of internal
dilution and include the corresponding
interval intercept for Pd, Pt, Au, Cu
and Ni
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 drilling is oriented approximately
perpendicular to the regional lithological
strike and dip
•It is unknown whether the orientation of
sampling achieves unbiased sampling
of possible structures as no
measurable structures are recorded in
drill chips.
•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 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 drill hole locations with respect to
each other and with respect to other
available data are included in the text.
•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
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.
•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.
•28 lines (for 657 stations) of 200m or
400m line x 100m station spaced
