Significant Platinum Group Element (PGE) Drill Assays from Developing Targets

Highlights

  • Significant results have been returned from recent aircore drilling at the Mission Sill prospect with 33 drill holes showing anomalous results

  • Thick zones of anomalous Platinum Group Elements including;

  • 32m @ 0.44 g/t 3E[1] from 16m (NAC470)

  • 40m @ 0.33 g/t 3E from surface (NAC471)

  • 8m @ 0.54 g/t 3E from 36m (NAC479)

  • 12m @ 0.37 g/t 3E from 24m (NAC501)

  • Mission Sill prospect is approximately 8km from the 17.5Mt Callisto resource[2] and has the same prospective ultramafic host rocks

  • Initial air core sampling was completed on 4m composite intervals, additional sampling of anomalous zones to be conducted on individual metres and will include rhodium assaying

  • Follow up drill program is planned for Q1 2025 with infill drilling as well as new drilling along strike within the 12km Mission Sill prospective trend

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “ Galileo ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide assay results from recent aircore drilling at the Company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.

Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood commented ; “Assays from the drill campaign at our Mission Sill prospect show widespread palladium and platinum mineralisation. This is an exciting result for the development of the prospect as we continue to explore for new deposits in this fertile and well-established mining region.

Further assaying of drill samples is now planned to include rhodium, a precious metal related to

palladium and platinum. These results will help us understand the most likely areas for economic mineralisation and will assist drill targeting for upcoming programs. The next drill program at the Mission Sill prospect, located just 8km from the Callisto deposit, is scheduled for early 2025 and will include infill drilling of the current results and new drilling within the 12km of prospective strike at the prospect. Galileo is an active exploration company undertaking multiple drill campaigns each year with the aim of discovering new resources from our extensive tenement package. We look forward to the next round of assays, the follow up drill program, and a successful year of exploration in 2025.”

Approximately 5,300m of aircore drilling in 157 drill holes was undertaken in the November drill campaign. This program targeted prospective contact zones within just three kilometres of strike at the Mission Sill prospect. Two prospective zones at the Mission Sill are of particular interest – the basal contact unit of the sill complex and the upper contact zone between ultramafic and gabbroic intrusive rock units (Figure 1).

33 drill holes returned anomalous results, defined as a 4-metre composite sample with greater than 0.2 g/t 3E (Pd + Pt + Au). A selection of anomalous results is shown in Table 1 with the full list included as Appendix 1. The upper prospective zone consistently returned anomalous results in every drill line over the three kilometres of strike with the best results returned from the southern two drill lines. The lower prospective contact returned anomalous results from the southern two drill lines. Figure 1 shows the distribution of drilling and the anomalous drill holes from the program.

Selected intervals will be assayed on a single metre basis and include rhodium to assist in the identification of the source of anomalous mineralisation. Follow up drilling is planned for the first quarter of 2025 with infill drilling surrounding the southern two anomalous lines, which are 600 metres apart on a north-south basis. Further drilling to test the upper and lower contact positions within the 12-kilometre strike length of the Mission Sill is also planned for the next drill campaign.

About Galileo Mining:

==> picture [172 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) is focussed on the exploration and development of PGE (palladiumplatinum), nickel, copper, and cobalt resources in Western Australia. GAL’s tenements near Norseman are highly prospective for new discoveries as shown by the Callisto deposit. GAL also has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over tenements in the Fraser Range which are prospective for nickelcopper 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 255 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] ).

Metal equivalent price assumptions of Callisto Resource released on 2[nd] October 2023

Based on metallurgical test work completed to date, the Company believes that Callisto’s mineralisation is amenable to concentration using a conventional crushing, milling and flotation process and has Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction.

Metallurgical recovery assumptions used for metal equivalent value calculations were: Pd – 82%, Pt – 78%, Au – 79%, Rh – 63%, Ni – 77%, Cu – 94%

Metal price assumptions, based on 12 month calculated averages to 11[th] September 2023, were used for metal equivalent values: Pd – US$1,600/oz, Pt – US$975/oz, Au – US$1,870/oz, Rh – US$9,420/oz, Ni - US23,800/t, Cu – US$8,420/t

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 mine located between 30km and 90km from Galileo tenure.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
•Aircore drilling was completed on
traverses testing geological targets
based on aeromagnetic interpretation,
surface geochemistry, historic drilling
and/or geological interpretation.
•Drill cuttings representative of each 1m
down hole interval of sample return
were collected direct from the drill rig
sample return system (cyclone) into a
20-litre plastic bucket and ground
dumped in rows.
•Each 1m sample pile from every drill
hole was spear sampled to obtain
representative nominal 4m composite
samples for laboratory analysis. 1m,
2m or 3m composite samples were
collected from the end of hole where
the drill hole depth was not a multiple
of four. A 1m bottom of hole sub-
sample was also collected for
laboratory analysis.
•Sub-sample composite weights were in
the range 2-3kg.
•Bottom of hole sample weights were
approximately 1kg
•Certified QAQC standards (blank &
reference) and field duplicate samples
were included routinely with 1 per 50
primary sub samples being a certified
standard, blank or a field duplicate.

geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
•Geological logging of drill holes was
done on a visual basis with logging
including lithology, grainsize,
mineralogy, texture, deformation,
mineralisation, alteration, veining,
colour and weathering.
•Logging of drill chips is semi-
quantitative and based on the
presentation of representative drill
chips retained for all 1m sample
intervals in the chip trays.
•All drill holes were logged in their
entirety
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
•All Aircore drill samples were collected
using a PVC spear as 4m composites
(2-3kg). Other composites of 3m, 2m
and 1m were collected where required
ie, at the bottom of hole or through
zones of interest as identified by the
geologist supervising the program. A
specific 1m bottom of hole sub-sample
was also collected by PVC Spear or
Scoop (1-2kg).
•QAQC reference samples and
duplicates were routinely submitted
with each batch.
•The sample size is considered
appropriate for the mineralisation style,
application and analytical techniques
used.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
•AC Chip samples were analysed for a
multielement suite (52 elements) by
ICP-MS following an aqua regia digest
of a 10g sample pulp charge. The
assay methods used are considered
appropriate.
•QAQC standards and duplicates were
routinely included at a rate of 1 per 50
samples
•Further internal laboratory QAQC
procedures included internal batch
standards and blanks
•Sample preparation was completed at
Intertek Genalysis Laboratory,
(Kalgoorlie or Perth) with digest and
assay conducted by Intertek-Genalysis
Laboratory Services (Perth).

procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
•Aircore drill traverse spacing is not
regular, the holes being placed to
provide a systematic traverse pattern
coverage of the
geophysical/geochemical target area
of interest.
•Drill spacing along traverses has been
at selective 50m intervals specific to
the target zone and ongoing
observations from the geologist during
the drilling program. This spacing has
been deemed adequate for first pass
assessment only and is not considered
sufficient to determine JORC
Compliant Inferred Resources and
therefore laboratory assay results and
additional drilling would be required.
•Drill holes were sampled from surface
on a 4m composite basis or as 1m,
2m, or 3m samples as determined by
the end of hole depth or under
instruction from the geologist
supervising the program. A 1m sub-
sample from end of hole has also been
collected.

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
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.
•All holes are inclined at 60 degrees.
•It is unknown whether the orientation
of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures as the
target setting is hosted in soft regolith
material with no measurable structures
recorded in drill chips.
•No quantitative measurements of
mineralised zones/structures exist and
all drill intercepts are reported as down

case.
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 relevant assay intervals of
significance are included in previous
releases.

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.
Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n 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 perpendicular to
the lithological strike and dip of the
target rock unit
•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.
