Highlights
-
Jimberlana and Mission Sill RC drilling has commenced with an initial 4,000 metre drill program planned
-
Both targets are advanced prospects with highly prospective aircore drill results including
-
4 metres @ 1.66% nickel, 0.16% cobalt, 0.31 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum) from 32m (Mission Sill, NAC126)[1]
-
15 metres @ 0.44 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum), 0.14% nickel,
- 0.05% copper from surface (Mission Sill, NAC160)[2]
-
1 metre in bottom of hole @ 0.24% Ni, 0.35% Cu, 0.04% Co and 0.25 g/t Pd from 60m (Jimberlana, NAC105)[3]
-
Bottom of hole air core result occurs above strong EM conductor (Jimberlana)
-
Drilling is expected to take one month to complete with assay results anticipated from early August onwards

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that an RC exploration drill campaign has commenced at the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects within the Company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo’s Managing Director Brad Underwood commented; “We are excited to be drilling two prospects with such outstanding early-stage results. It is rare to see aircore assay results from the near surface like those we have obtained at both the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects.
Having made the Callisto discovery in 2022 we believe the opportunity for further success within our Norseman Project is striking. The outcome of the current drill program, and the work we have planned at Norseman over the coming months, could be very significant value drivers for Galileo.”
Figure 2 - Jimberlana Prospect EM conductors with priority drill targets. The target generation model suggests that the east-west trending Jimberlana Dyke has interacted with existing sulphide bearing stratigraphy (oriented north-south), and that this may have resulted in the precipitation of economic sulphides on the margins of the dyke.

A 4,000 metre RC drill campaign has commenced at the Jimberlana and Mission Sill with drilling expected to take around one month to complete. Figure 3 displays a location map of the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects relative to the 2022 Callisto discovery.
The Mission Sill is a mafic-ultramafic intrusion with similar geology to the host rock at the Callisto discovery. The Mission Sill is located approximately 6km to the southeast of Callisto and has multiple anomalous drilling results over a 10-kilometre strike length. The initial target for testing is “MS3” shown in Figure 4 and in more detail in Figure 5.
The Jimberlana Dyke is an extensive east-west trending mafic-ultramafic dyke with anomalous drill results on both the northern and southern margins. Of particular note is an intersection on the northern margin at the bottom of an aircore drill hole where geochemically anomalous sulphides were intersected (see ASX announcement dated 1[st] December 2021). Strong EM conductors proximal to the anomalous drill intercept make this prospect a compelling target (Figure 2 and Table 1).
For more details on Galileo’s work at the Mission Sill and Jimberlana prospects please refer to ASX announcements dated 01/12/21, 09/02/22, 03/03/22, 08/03/22, 21/03/22, 24/03/22 and 28/03/22.

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. GAL’s Norseman Project contains a near surface laterite deposit with over 26,000 tonnes of contained cobalt, and 122,000 tonnes of contained nickel, in JORC compliant resources (see JORC Table below).
JORC Mineral Resource Estimates for the Norseman Cobalt Project (“Estimates”) (refer to ASX “Prospectus” announcement dated May 25[th] 2018 and ASX announcement dated 11[th] December 2018, accessible at http://www.galileomining.com.au/investors/asx-announcements/). Galileo confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed).
