Fraser Range Project Drill Program Underway

Highlights

  • Four high priority electro-magnetic (EM) sulphide targets to be drill tested at Galileo’s Fraser Range Project

  • Target positions are associated with prospective structural and geological features with potential for nickel, copper, and/or gold

  • ~1,600m of RC drilling in six drill holes is planned to test targets starting from 120m to 200m below surface

  • Drilling to take approximately three weeks to complete with initial assays expected in July 2025

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “ Galileo ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce RC drilling has commenced at its Fraser Range project in Western Australia.

Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood commented ; “We are pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at our Fraser Range project which is situated along strike of the known resources in the region – the Nova nickel-copper mine, the Silver Knight deposit, and the Mawson deposit (Figure 5). The Fraser Range is an underexplored mineral province and a successful drill campaign could have a significant positive impact on the Company. Our prospects are based on geophysical modelling and are interpreted as sulphide targets with potential for nickel, copper and/or gold. Drilling is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete with first assays in July.

Galileo has multiple prospects for drill testing with every target having a chance of turning into a new discovery. We look forward to the results of our current drill campaign.”

Four Fraser Range EM models (see ASX announcement dated 28[th] January 2025) have been selected for initial drill testing using an RC rig. The depth below surface of the tops of the four selected models varies between 120m and 200m. If RC drilling cannot effectively test the targets, then diamond core drilling will be utilised to drill to depth. Figure 2 shows the location of the Fraser Range prospects and Table 1 contains the modelled parameters of the targets. Figures 3 and 4 show the location of the EM conductors relative to background TMI magnetic imagery.

Sources of conductive EM anomalies can include economic sulphide mineralisation, barren sulphide mineralisation, graphite, and hypersaline water in geological structures. Drill testing is required to determine whether any conductor represents economic mineralisation.

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. Based on metallurgical test work completed to date, the Company believes that all metals included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

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 670km[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.

3 NiEq (Nickel equivalent) = Ni % + 0.230 x Pd (g/t) + 0.133 x Pt (g/t) + 0.259 x Au (g/t) + 1.04 x Rh (g/t) + 0.432 x Cu (%)
