Highlights
-
Low frequency electro-magnetic (EM) surveying has commenced over massive sulphide identified in aircore drilling
-
Aircore drill hole NAC105 intersected massive sulphide at the end of hole on the margin of a large ultramafic intrusion
-
Aircore drilling unable to substantially penetrate massive sulphide with follow up EM surveying required
-
EM survey is planned to trace sulphide horizon along strike and down-dip, looking for the most prospective zones for nickel, copper, cobalt, and palladium mineralisation
-
Survey will be used to define sulphide targets at shallow depths starting from just 60m below surface
-
EM results expected in approximately two weeks with follow up drilling to commence post the completion of heritage surveys

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce EM surveying of massive sulphide in aircore drilling has commenced at the Company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Drilling in November identified sulphide mineralisation just 60 metres down hole with assays reporting prospective early results of 1 metre @ 0.24% nickel, 0.35% copper, 0.04% cobalt and 0.25 g/t palladium.[(1)]

Galileo’s Managing Director Brad Underwood commented; “ We have been extremely fortunate to identify massive sulphide in aircore drilling while looking for nickel and palladium at our Norseman Project. This result has significantly increased the prospectivity of the area and we are now using EM surveying to build on our positive early results and to define targets for follow up RC drill testing.
We look forward to updating the market as results become available and as we move into the drill testing phase of exploration later in the year .”
EM surveying is a very useful tool in exploration due to the conductive response of sulphide minerals that can contain nickel, copper, cobalt and palladium. Massive and semi-massive nickel deposits frequently exhibit conductive signatures when a current is passed through the earth. However, disseminated sulphides, and deposits with complex geometry, may only provide subdued conductive responses. As the sulphides in aircore drilling at Norseman are at shallow depth, a moving loop survey using a 100m loop size has been designed to maximise any subtle change in response that may be related to accumulations of massive, semi-massive and/or disseminated sulphides.

About Galileo Mining:
Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) is focussed on the exploration and development of nickel, palladium,copper, and cobalt resources in Western Australia. GAL has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over tenements in the Fraser Range which are highly prospective for nickel-copper sulphide deposits similar to the operating Nova mine. GAL also holds tenements near Norseman with over 26,000 tonnes of contained cobalt, and 122,000 tonnes of contained nickel, in JORC compliant resources (see JORC Table below).
