Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “ Galileo ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce the completion of the MinRes Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement (“ Agreement ”) and the results of recent drilling from the Company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.

Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood commented ; “With completion of the MinRes lithium joint venture agreement, lithium exploration will now begin at the Norseman project. MinRes have an incredible depth of experience in the lithium business and have secured the rights to work on our untested lithium potential at Norseman. In return Galileo shareholders will benefit from a focussed program of lithium exploration while the Company continues to concentrate on the extensive potential for nickel, PGEs, and gold in the same region.

Our recent drill results show more prospective palladium and platinum zones within close proximity to geophysical anomalies. Our exploration strategy follows a cyclical pattern with campaign drilling, review and interpretation of results, integration of new information, and then more drilling. We believe this cycle of exploration activity gives us the best opportunity of making further discoveries in a fundamentally unexplored tenement package.

Follow up drilling is now being planned with the next round of drilling scheduled for August.”

The Tranche 1 payment of $5 million under the Agreement (of the $7.5 million total consideration) has been received. This cash payment significantly bolsters the funds available to Galileo to undertake aggressive exploration programs at both its Norseman and Fraser Range projects. The Tranche 2 payment of $2.5 million under the Agreement is due on or before 30[th] May 2025.

MinRes and Galileo have now formed a 30% / 70% unincorporated joint venture for the exploration and, if deemed warranted mining of, lithium on the Norseman tenements. MinRes has the ability to increase its stake to 55% by sole funding an additional $15 million of exploration expenditure on the Tenements over the 4 years following completion. MinRes has the further ability to elect to increase its stake to 70% by sole funding expenditure through to a Decision to Mine. Upon MinRes earning a 70% interest, Galileo must elect to either remain in Joint Venture and contribute to Development Costs or convert its interest into a royalty.

Norseman Exploration Drilling

Approximately 2,700m of RC drilling was undertaken in April/May with the aim of identifying mineralisation related to geophysical anomalies. Sulphide minerals were intersected in a variety of geological settings including as disseminated sulphide within ultramafic and mafic units, and within sediments. Multiple drill intersections in ultramafic and mafic rocks (the potential host units for economic mineralisation) contained anomalous palladium and platinum results (see Table 1).

The most prospective result from the recent round of drilling was received from NRC498, drilled adjacent to a moderately strong geophysical response (see Figure 1). This chargeable response will be the subject of follow up drill testing scheduled for August. Detailed dipole-dipole IP modelling of this section line displayed a marked difference to the original pole-dipole modelled results. Regional poledipole modelling will now be used only for reconnaissance drilling of chargeable IP features with detailed dipole-dipole data to be used for more focused follow up drill testing.

A strong chargeable response targeted by NRC495 was directly linked to disseminated sulphides in ultramafic rock units overlying sediments, the same geological configuration as that seen at the Callisto deposit. However, this strong chargeable response with accompanying sulphides did not contain anomalous levels of economic mineralisation. Overall drill results from the program demonstrate the value of targeting geophysical induced polarisation (IP) anomalies in the search for new disseminated sulphide deposits.

NRC497 intersected only minor Pd-Pt in ultramafic rock (see Table 1). A range of chargeable responses will be tested in the next drill program, from very strong to moderate anomalies, to determine whether there is a relationship between Pd-Pt grades and various geophysical parameters (anomaly size/strength/shape/depth below surface etc.)

Further prospective results were received from NRC496 drilled on section line 6,449,700 (Figure 2). A large zone of anomalous mineralisation has been identified in ultramafic rock which broadly matches the top of a change in chargeable response and a change in geology to the west. This section will attract follow up drilling to determine whether the subtle geophysical response and the ultramafic/mafic contact zone can be linked to mineralisation.

Regional pole-dipole surveying of the 20km Callisto trend and the 12km Mission Sill trend is now complete with ongoing interpretation to select which geophysical responses will be selected for drill testing. The current strategy is to build on the understanding of the geophysical data gained from recent drilling and to continue working from areas of higher data density (areas with drilling) to those with no drilling. Following this strategy, the next round of drilling will continue to focus on the northern Callisto zone as it continues along strike up to 10km north of the Callisto deposit.

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] ).

==> picture [462 x 180] intentionally omitted <==

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.

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
provide a 4-metre representative
composite sample for analyses.
•A 1m sample split for each metre is
collected at the time of drilling from the
drill rig mounted cone splitter.
•Selected 1m split sample intervals
were selected from zones of interest
and sent to the laboratory for analysis
with remainder of drill hole assayed
using 4m composite samples.
•QAQC standards (blank & reference)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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

Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for

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
data
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.
