Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce RC drilling targeting three separate prospects has commenced at the Company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo’s Managing Director Brad Underwood commented; “Drilling at our Norseman project has commenced as we follow up target generation work with the all-important drill testing. We have three advanced prospects ready for drilling and each has a chance of delivering significant results.
Our exploration strategy follows a cyclical pattern with campaign drilling, review and interpretation of results, integration of new information, and then follow up drilling. We believe this cycle of exploration activity gives us the best opportunity of making further discoveries.
We look forward to the results of the current round of drilling as we seek to unlock the potential of a newly discovered mineral district.”
Callisto Prospect:
Figure 1 – Geophysical IP survey results chargeability model. IP surveying is designed to detect disseminated sulphide deposits similar to Callisto. Drilling is required to determine any metal content of sulphides present as IP surveying does not discriminate between economic and non-economic sulphide accumulations. See ASX announcement dated 22 November 2023 for further details.

North Callisto Prospect:
First pass drilling of the North Callisto prospect was undertaken in September 2023. Drill assays from the September program (see ASX announcement dated 18[th] October 2023) showed an anomalous result of 28m @ 0.18 g/t 3E in drill hole NRC472. Review of this drill hole shows that the anomalous intersection occurs at the base of an ultramafic sill where it overlies a volcanic substrate. This geological configuration is interpreted as being analogous to the Callisto deposit where the mineralised intrusive sill overlies a volcano-sedimentary

sequence. The zone along strike of NRC472 will be initially tested with two drill holes while the prospect area is subject to ongoing IP surveying aimed at identifying large accumulations of sulphide mineralisation.

Jimberlana South Prospect:
The Jimberlana Prospect is an east-west trending ultramafic-mafic dyke with sulphides developed on the northern and southern margins. Drilling by Galileo has intersected wide zones of anomalous PGE-nickelcopper sulphide at the Jimberlana South prospect at the juncture between mafic and ultramafic rock units in contact with the host country rock. Three follow up drill holes are planned in the current program including the drill hole in Figure 3. See ASX announcements dated 10[th] August 2023 and 18[th] October 2023 for further details on the Jimberlana prospect.

About Galileo Mining:
Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) is focussed on the exploration and development of palladium, nickel, copper, and cobalt resources in Western Australia. GAL’s tenements near Norseman are highly prospective for palladium-copper-nickel sulphide deposits as shown by the Callisto discovery. GAL also has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over tenements in the Fraser Range which are prospective for nickel-copper sulphide deposits similar to the operating Nova mine.
Norseman (100% GAL)
The wholly owned Norseman project contains the Callisto Discovery and adjacent regional prospects Jimberlana and Mission Sill with potential for palladium, platinum, nickel, copper, cobalt and rhodium mineralisation. Galileo’s tenure at Norseman comprises mining, exploration, and prospecting licenses covering a total area of 278 km[2] .
The Callisto deposit was discovered in 2022 and is the first deposit of its type identified in Australia, analogous in mineralisation style to the Platreef deposits found in South Africa. An initial Mineral Resource Estimate was reported in 2023 with 17.5 Mt @ 1.04g/t 4E[1] , 0.20% Ni, 0.16% Cu (2.3g/t PdEq[2] or 0.52% NiEq[3] ) -. (see GAL ASX announcement: 2 October 2023)
Fraser Range (67% GAL / 33% Creasy Group JV)
Galileo is actively exploring for magmatic massive sulphide- nickel-copper deposits across its Fraser Range tenements covering over 600km[2] of highly prospective ground in the Albany-Fraser Orogen.
The project is well positioned within the nickel-copper bearing Fraser Range Zone, with the Nova Bollinger and Silver Knight deposits located between 30 and 90km from Galileo tenure.
