QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT & APPENDIX 5B
For period ending 30 June 2018
Highlights
-
Galileo completes highly successful IPO and lists on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 29 May 2018
-
Field programs at the Norseman Cobalt Project commenced over the quarter with work aimed at facilitating extensive drilling programs over the remainder of 2018
-
Maiden diamond drilling program commenced in the last week of June and continued into the September quarter
-
Strong cash position of $11.3 million.
Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a summary of activities and Appendix 5B for the Quarter ending 30 June 2018, the first quarter post listing on the ASX.
Galileo listed on the ASX on the 29 May 2018 after a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) which raised $15 million before costs and transaction payments. The IPO created a very strong share register with major shareholders including Mark Creasy (approximately 31%), Independence Group (4.9%) and Chris Ellison (4.2%). The top 20 shareholders on IPO debut held 57% of the stock. Galileo has two highly prospective West Australian resource and exploration projects being:
-
1) The Norseman Cobalt Project with a JORC compliant cobalt-nickel resource; and
-
2) The Fraser Range Project with exploration tenements prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt deposits
Work during the quarter focussed on the IPO and subsequent listing on the ASX. Field activities started in June with the maiden diamond drilling program commencing in the last week of the quarter.
Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said that the initial drilling program demonstrated the Company’s desire to progress the development of the Norseman Cobalt Project as quickly as possible.
“Our ability to get on the ground within four weeks of listing is a great result for our shareholders who can expect to see results flow through to the market over the coming quarter,” Mr Underwood said.
“The successful IPO has put us in a great position to capitalise on the growing demand for cobalt. We aim to increase our resource base and will invest significant time and effort into targeting the discovery of further cobalt ore bodies.”

The following report covers the work completed in the June 2018 Quarter and provides a summary of the Galileo projects at Norseman and in the Fraser Range.

1. Galileo Projects Overview
Galileo has a portfolio of granted exploration and prospecting licenses as well as tenement applications in Western Australia. West Australia is a stable mining jurisdiction with known development pathways for mining projects. All tenements are located close to existing infrastructure and, in the case of the Norseman Cobalt Project, adjacent to a world class array of infrastructure assets. These include a railway, gas pipeline, water pipeline, sealed highway and the regional town of Norseman. Figure 1 shows the location of Galileo’s Project Areas and it can be noted from the same map that a number of operating mines and development assets, with a focus on battery metals, occur in the region. Lithium is produced from the Mt Marion and Bald Hill mines while nickel, copper and cobalt are produced from the Nova mine in the Fraser Range.

2. Norseman Cobalt Project, Norseman, WA (Galileo 100%)
At the Norseman Cobalt Project Galileo has a portfolio of two granted exploration licenses, one granted prospecting license and 17 pending prospecting license applications covering a total ground holding of 278.4km[2] . The project is centered on the JORC compliant resource of 20Mt @ 0.11 % Cobalt and 0.53% Nickel which has 22,500 tonnes of contained cobalt metal and 106,000 tonnes of contained nickel[1] . The project is prospective for additional cobalt at multiple prospects where the underlying geology indicates potential for further mineralization.

Figure 2 shows the location of the Norseman Cobalt Project tenements with underlying geology. Cobalt mineralization is interpreted to form as supergene upgrading directly above the ultramafic sills, where regolith profile development has occurred and where the profile has been preserved. Work over the quarter was limited to the month of June as the company completing its listing on the 29th of May 2018. Field programs did however commence in June with most activity related to preparation for both metallurgical diamond drilling and RC exploration drilling.
Diamond drilling commenced in the last week of June, being the last week of the quarter, less than four weeks after the Company’s listing on the ASX. Proposed diamond drilling locations are shown in Figure 3 with drill locations selected from within the boundaries of the known resource. The diamond drilling will provide Galileo with up to two tonnes of samples with which to complete metallurgical test work. Assays from the initial diamond drilling program are expected in August with metallurgical and ore characterization test work to follow.

3. Fraser Range Project, Fraser Range, WA (Galileo 67%)
Galileo has two Joint Ventures covering 492km[2] of granted exploration licenses in the Fraser Range region of Western Australia. The tenements are prospective for magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization akin to that discovered at the Nova mine site in 2012. Figure 4 shows the location of Galileo’s tenements in the Fraser Range with respect to the Nova mine site and other key players in the Fraser Range.

Work over the quarter on the Fraser Range project included a detailed interpretation and assessment of the prospects within the Joint Venture tenements. This work resulted in an ASX announcement, after the end of the quarter, on the 19th of July 2018. That announcement referred to the identification of three new prospects named Nightmarch, Lantern and Empire Rose. Tenement E28/2064 contains the Nightmarch and Lantern prospects and is in a 67/33% JV between NSZ Resources Pty Ltd (NSZ) and Great Southern Nickel Pty Ltd. Tenements E63/1539, E63/1623 and E63/1624 are in a 67/33% JV between FSZ Resources Pty Ltd (FSZ) and Dunstan Holdings Pty Ltd. NSZ and FSZ are wholly owned subsidiaries of Galileo. Great Southern Nickel Pty Ltd and Dunstan Holdings Pty Ltd are entities of Mark Creasy.
Planned work in the Fraser Range over the coming quarter includes gravity surveying at the Nightmarch prospect and ground electro-magnetic surveying at the Empire Rose prospect. Both programs are aimed at developing drill targets for first pass drill testing later in the year.
4. Corporate
As at 30th June 2018 the Company had cash of approximately $11.3 million.
Galileo listed on the ASX on the 29 May 2018 after a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) pursuant to the Company’s Prospectus dated 6 April 2018 (Prospectus) which raised $15 million before costs and transaction payments.
During the quarter the most significant costs incurred were related to transactions completed as a part of the IPO. These included repayments of loans and purchase of Joint Venture interests in the Fraser Range. All transactions were detailed in the Prospectus (see ASX release dated 25th of May 2018) with IPO funds raised used to make payments as per the Binding Terms Sheet under which Galileo undertook the IPO.
Please refer to the attached Appendix 5B report for the period ended 30 June 2018 for further information.
