1. Norseman Cobalt Project, Norseman, WA (Galileo 100%)

During the period, the Company has scaled up its activities at the Norseman Project, which consists of two granted exploration licenses and 16 granted prospecting licenses covering a total ground holding of 276 km[2] in the Goldfields-Esperance region.

Metallurgical test work on drill core from the Norseman Project has demonstrated the ability to produce a high-grade cobalt concentrate. Using commercially available sizing techniques a maximum coarse-grained cobalt concentrate of 2.57% was produced, with medium sized concentrate giving a range of values from 0.12% to 0.51% cobalt. Overall preliminary results suggest an average concentrate grade of 0.3% cobalt may be achievable making Galileo’s Norseman Cobalt Project one of the highest-grade cobalt plays in Australia.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Laboratory leach test work on concentrate samples was completed at ALS Metallurgy’s Perth Laboratory under the direction of Galileo consultants SGS-Bateman. Three extraction tests were completed with the results shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Metallurgical extraction of cobalt, nickel and manganese over 24 hours for three Norseman concentrate samples (from ALS Metallurgy Results, 28 November 2018).

==> picture [454 x 187] intentionally omitted <==

All tests were conducted over 24 hours at atmospheric pressure with a temperature of 70[o] C. The tests used low amounts of SO2 (sulphur dioxide) and H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) to achieve a maximum 95.7% cobalt extraction and 66.1% nickel extraction (test HY6905).

Galileo is highly encouraged by these cobalt and nickel metal extraction rates from concentrate with all three tests delivering significantly higher returns than previous test work undertaken prior to the listing of the Company.

Based on the test results, the assumed leach extraction rate of concentrate material for the purpose of scoping level CAPEX and OPEX estimation will be 90% for cobalt and 60% for nickel. This represents a conservative scoping level approach given that the average metal extractions for cobalt and nickel over the three tests performed were 93.4% and 62.1% respectively.

In addition, the Company continued to advance its exploration program, most notably with a maiden JORC 2012 Inferred Resource at the Goblin prospect.

The Goblin Prospect has reported a JORC resource of 4.9Mt at 0.08% Co[(1)] for 4,100 tonnes of contained cobalt, representing an 18% increase in overall contained cobalt at the Norseman Project.

With the addition of the Goblin Prospect, the global resource base of the Norseman Cobalt Project has expanded to 25.1Mt @ 0.11% cobalt (at a 0.06% cobalt cut-off) for 26,600t cobalt and 122,400t nickel[(1)] .

The Goblin Prospect is located 3km south of Galileo’s main resource and has an identified strike of cobalt mineralisation of greater than 2km. The cobalt mineralisation occurs at shallow depths of between 12m and 60m and is consistent in style with the Company’s existing JORC resources at Norseman.

During the period, the Norseman Project has continued to establish its cobalt credentials with additional mineralisation also intersected in extension drilling at the Mission Sill South Prospect.

In October the Company announced the results of a 43 reverse-circulation drill campaign, which yielded a number of thick cobalt intercepts. Best results included:

  • 12m @ 0.1% Cobalt from 54m (drill hole NRC172)

  • 27m @ 0.09% Cobalt from 33m (drill hole NRC174)

  • 15m @ 0.09% Cobalt from 33m (drill hole NRC187)

The Company continues to build confidence in the Mission Sill South Prospect, with cobalt mineralisation remaining open to the northeast beyond the recent drilling.

Planned work programs commencing in the March 2019 quarter for the Norseman Cobalt Project include:

  • Conceptual Mining Study by CSA Global for use in Scoping Study level financial modelling

  • Flora and Fauna Surveys within Mine Lease Application area

  • Aeromagnetic survey of the entire project area to assist exploration target development

  • Continued metallurgical domaining of the current JORC compliant resources

  • Ongoing ore characterization test work to determine optimum concentrate size range

2. Fraser Range Project, Fraser Range, WA (Galileo 67%/Creasy Group 33%)

Results from work undertaken at Galileo’s Fraser Range project continue to increase the Company’s interest in the region which currently hosts two major nickel-copper-cobalt deposits, Nova-Bollinger and Silver Knight. The presence of two significant discoveries in the Fraser Range indicates that the area is a developing mineral province and that new discoveries may be forthcoming in the future.

Galileo holds two Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group in the Fraser Range covering four active exploration tenements totalling 437km[2] of tenure. Galileo also has five Fraser Range applications covering 419km[2] of highly prospective ground. All five tenements are in a ballot process with numerous exploration and mining companies interested in applying for the ground. Two of the competing tenement applications are adjacent to the Creasy Group tenement which hosts the Silver Knight deposit.

Figure 6 – Galileo’s Fraser Range tenement holdings (blue) with Empire Rose, Nightmarch and Lantern prospects as marked. Silver Knight and Nova Deposits are shown by mine symbols.

==> picture [308 x 442] intentionally omitted <==

During the period the Company conducted first pass air-core drilling at the Empire Rose prospect which yielded anomalous zones of nickel in mafic and ultramafic rocks, similar to the host rocks that occur at the Nova and Silver Knight deposits. The best intercept from the maiden drilling was 36m @ 0.2% nickel from 18m (drill hole EARC015).

An electromagnetic survey completed at the prospect delineated a strongly conductive target with a modelled conductivity of 2,100 siemens. The top of the conductor was modelled at around 250m below surface with a sub-vertical geometry suggesting that it extends further at depth.

Subsequent to the end of the period the Company completed an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey at Empire Rose which has delivered outstanding results.

==> picture [468 x 90] intentionally omitted <==

The IP survey has demonstrated a highly chargeable response, coincident with the results of the electromagnetic (EM) survey completed in 2018. IP surveying is most commonly used in the exploration for sulphide mineralisation which gives a chargeable response when a current is passed through the ground.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 7 March 2019.

Galileo Mining Ltd is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The address of the registered office is 13 Colin Street, West Perth WA 6005.

The Company’s principal activity during the year was mineral exploration. Major exploration activities during the period are outlined in the Review of Operations as contained in the Directors’ Report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • (a) Basis of preparation

This half-year financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 is a condensed general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritive pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial report.

For the purpose of preparing the financial report, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Galileo Mining Ltd during the half year ended 31 December 2018 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the ASX Listing Rules.

The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report and are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards except for the impact (if any) of the new and revised standards and interpretations outlined in (c) below. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the valuation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments.

The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars which is the functional currency.

(b) Statement of compliance

The financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the interim financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

18

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

(c) Adoption of new and revised standards

From 1 July 2018 the Group has adopted all Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective from 1 July 2018. The adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

AASB 16 provides a new lessee accounting model which requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. This standard will primarily affect the accounting for the Group’s operating lease. As at 30 June 2018, the Group has $334,499 of non-cancellable operating lease commitments relating to a property lease. The Group is considering the available options to account for this transition, but the Group expects a change in reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and increase in lease assets and liabilities recognition. The lease standard is also expected to have a considerable impact on deferred tax balances. This will however be dependent on the lease arrangements in place when the new standard is effective. The Group has commenced the process of evaluating the impact of the new lease standard.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.

(d) Significant accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2018 as disclosed above.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main business and geographic segment, which involves exploration of mineral deposits. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from the segment are equivalent to the financial statement of the Group as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Galileo Mining Ltd

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd (“the company”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration, for the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the Galileo Mining Ltd are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

==> picture [165 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
