Exploration Results and Upcoming Drilling at Untested Target Zones

Highlights

  • Results from recent RC drill campaign continue to show prospective zones of palladium-platinum close to the existing Callisto resource

  • Drill results include wide zones of anomalous PGE;

  • 8m @ 0.21 g/t 3E[1] from 128m (NRC505)

  • 20m @ 0.18 g/t 3E from 180m (NRC502)

  • 36m @ 0.14 g/t 3E from 128m (NRC501)

  • Assay results demonstrate two target models for the Norseman Project: Callisto-style sulphide mineralisation at the base of intrusive sills and mineralisation at the interface between mafic and ultramafic rock units

  • Mapping and geochemical analysis of the Mission Sill prospect, parallel to Callisto, highlights over ten km strike of untested target zone at the base of the intrusive sill

  • Next drill campaign scheduled to commence in November with a 5,000 metre aircore program to be completed

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

Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood commented ; “Results from our RC drill campaign at Norseman continue to show prospective palladium and platinum assays. These results are highly encouraging as they display how widely distributed the mineralisation is within our Norseman project area. Our ground has never been systematically explored for palladium-platinum mineralisation and we are the first to realise the potential of this region. That understanding has

received a significant boost with the results from our mapping campaign and from computer processing of geochemical data at our Mission Sill prospect. This prospect is approximately six kilometres from Callisto with the same host rock sequence of ultramafic and mafic units. Geological mapping and geochemical analyses have now recognised the basal contact target at the Mission Sill as a similar stratigraphic position to that which hosts the Callisto palladium-nickel deposit. This zone is untested over ten kilometres of strike and will be targeted in the upcoming November drill campaign. Galileo is an active exploration company undertaking multiple drill campaigns each year with the aim of discovering new resources from our extensive tenement package and we look forward to the next drill program in this newly discovered mineral province.”

Approximately 2,100m of RC drilling was undertaken in August/September targeting a series of geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Disseminated sulphide minerals were intersected coincident with EM conductors, IP geophysical chargeable zones, and at geochemical targets. Several drill intersections in ultramafic and mafic rocks (the potential host units for economic mineralisation) contained anomalous palladium and platinum results (see Appendix 1).

NRC502 was drilled as a follow up to geochemical anomalies identified in NRC463 and NRC496 (Figure 1). This target is at a separate geological position to that of the Callisto deposit. Anomalous palladium and platinum at this position is occurring at the contact between ultramafic and mafic units within the host rock sill. This is a different geological target to Callisto style mineralisation which occurs at the base of the ultramafic sill. These results indicate the potential for additional styles of palladium-platinum mineralisation beyond that known to occur at the Callisto deposit and are an excellent sign for future exploration within the Norseman area.

NRC501 was drilled 450m north along strike from NRC502 and confirmed the presence of anomalous palladium/platinum at the ultramafic/gabbro interface (see location plan map in Figure 5 and Appendices 1 and 2 for drill hole details).

NRC499 and NRC500 were drilled into a conductive target identified through down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying (see ASX announcement dated 22[nd] July 2024). Both drill holes intercepted disseminated sulphides in ultramafic rock units overlying sediments, the same geological configuration as that seen at the Callisto deposit. This corresponded to the interpreted prospective basal position of the ultramafic units however the accompanying sulphides did not contain anomalous levels of economic mineralisation. Overall drill results from the program demonstrate the value of targeting geophysical anomalies (EM & IP) as these can accurately identify the geological positions where economic metals may occur.

Drill hole NRC505 was directed at a geophysical Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeable zone and as a follow up to NRC498 which intersected anomalous palladium and platinum (Figure 3 and ASX announcement dated 12[th] June 2024). NRC505 intersected weakly disseminated sulphides within an interpreted structure with anomalous palladium and platinum over eight metres. These results support the use of IP surveying to define prospective sulphide zones within the Norseman project area.

Mission Sill Prospect Planned Drilling

The Mission Sill prospect is a mafic-ultramafic sill complex parallel to the Callisto sill unit and located approximately 3km to the east of the southern end of the Callisto sill (see location map in Figure 6). Geological prospect mapping undertaken by Model Earth Pty Ltd at a 1:10,000 scale has accurately identified the basal position of the Mission Sill over a 10km strike length. This zone has not been targeted for palladium or platinum with previous drilling at the prospect restricted to laterite drilling and base metal/PGE drilling within the centre of the sill. Positive signs for the fertility of the Mission Sill have been recorded from the central part of the Mission Sill which was drilled prior to the discovery of Callisto in 2022. Anomalous palladium/platinum results reported in early 2022 include;[2]

  • 8 metres @ 1.44 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum, NAC151)

  • 20 metres @ 0.32 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum, NAC149)

  • 7 metres @ 0.40 g/t palladium (NAC025)

  • 18 metres @ 0.29 g/t palladium (NAC017)

Following the Callisto discovery, and the much-increased understanding of the prospective geology, the basal unit of the Mission Sill is now recognised as having significant capacity for Callisto style sulphide deposits. This interpretation is further supported by geochemical analyses of nickel/chrome ratios from surficial samples with the western margin of the Mission Sill having strong ratios > 1, indicative of potential for nickel sulphide related deposits (Figure 4).

An aircore drilling program of 5,000 metres has been designed to drill test the basal unit of the Mission Sill at multiple positions along the 10km strike length. This program will be looking for palladium, platinum and nickel enrichment which may be linked to economic sulphide mineralisation. The next drill program is scheduled to commence in November 2024.

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.
•Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was
used to obtain one metre individually
bagged chip samples from pre-collars
and RC test drill holes.
•Each RC bag was spear sampled to

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
•The Norseman target geology and
mineralisation style is PGE-nickel-
copper mineralisation related to layered
intrusions (sills and dykes) and
komatiite nickel sulphide mineralisation
occurring within the GSWA mapped
Mount Kirk Formation (and intrusions
into this formation)
•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 Appendices 1and 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 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

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

of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
•Project location map and plan map of

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

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.
