GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Highlights of the Company’s activities during the half-year included:

Fraser Range Project (Joint Venture with Creasy Group)

  • Interpretation of detailed magnetic data at Lantern Prospect shows additional untested targets prospective for Nova style nickel deposits.

  • Aircore drilling at the new Delta Blues Prospect in the northern Fraser Range and at the Lantern Prospect reveals nickel prospective intrusive rock units improving confidence in the new interpretation.

  • Exploration activity in the first half of 2020 will be focussed on drilling in the Fraser Range targeting high value nickel-copper deposits.

Norseman Project (100% owned)

  • Follow-up Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling targeting copper and gold completed with 1,279m of RC drilling undertaken at the Subzero Prospect and other early stage prospects within the project area.

  • RC drilling at Subzero and at the new Roadside Prospect demonstrates mineralised copper and zinc trends over 800 metres in strike length.

  • Zones of copper and zinc mineralisation in six drill holes including: o 15m @ 0.13% copper & 0.45% zinc from 51m (NRC253) o 9m @ 0.14% copper & 0.67% zinc from 84m (NRC257) o 6m @ 0.16% copper & 0.75% zinc from 102m (NRC259)

Corporate

  • Brad Underwood appointed interim Chairman following passing of Non-Executive Chairman Simon Jenkins.

  • Company Secretary, Mathew Whyte, joins the Board as a Non-Executive Director.

  • Strong cash position of $5.4 million as at 31 December 2019.

Fraser Range Project, WA

During the period, results from October aircore drilling programs undertaken at the Lantern Prospect and Delta Blues Prospect were received, confirming prospective intrusions at both prospects.

In only the second round of aircore drilling ever completed at the Lantern Prospect, located 50km along strike from Legend Mining Ltd’s (ASX: LEG) Mawson (Area D) Prospect in the northern Fraser Range, confirmed a highly prospective intrusive gabbronorite rock unit above a previously reported conductor.[(1) (2)]

Aircore drill holes reached a maximum depth of 102m and were designed as a first pass test to confirm the prospectivity of the conductive targets which have been modelled at approximately 340m depth.

A number of high-quality drill targets have now been developed at the Lantern prospect. Anomalous aircore drilling results of 27 metres at 0.18% nickel and 0.17% copper[(3)] require immediate follow up with drilling planned to commence in late February 2020. A separate EM anomaly centred over a highly prospective mafic contact rock unit will also be targeted in the February drilling program (see Figure 3 section below).

Initial aircore drilling completed at the new Delta Blues Prospect, which occurs four kilometres along strike from Legend Mining’s Crean Prospect in the northern Fraser Range area, also confirmed a highly prospective intrusive cumulate rock unit with weathered sulphides encountered at shallow depths.[(4)]

The Company completed petrographical analysis of rock chips from Delta Blues drill holes which demonstrated cumulate mafic and mafic granulite rocks with weathered sulphide minerals (< 1% of sample). Cumulate mafic intrusive rocks are the type of rocks known to be associated with magmatic nickel sulphide mineralisation both in the Fraser Range and globally.

During the period, an updated interpretation of the detailed airborne magnetic data surrounding the Lantern Prospect was undertaken. The updated interpretation has shown multiple untested targets prospective for Nova style nickel-copper deposits.[(5)]

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Figure 4 displays the new interpreted intrusions (green ellipses) which will be targeted with aircore drilling programs to assess the bedrock geology for mineral potential beneath cover rocks. Cover rocks in the area are estimated at between 40 and 100 metres with the aircore drilling technique providing a cost-effective method of first pass assessment.

Importantly, the new interpretation is supported by the on-ground results obtained from October 2019 aircore drilling undertaken at the Lantern and Delta Blues Prospects.

Detailed airborne magnetic data flown at a 50-metre line spacing has been utilised to undertake the interpretation. Prospective mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the Fraser Range often display unique magnetic signatures due to remanent magnetisation of the intrusions and the deflection of volcano-sedimentary host rocks as the intrusions were emplaced. The Company has a high degree of confidence that the newly identified targets will be associated with nickel prospective geology.

Company activities in the first half of 2020 will be focussed on the drilling of Fraser Range prospects in the search for high value new discoveries. Work programs will include:

  • RC drilling at the Lantern Prospect

  • Down hole electro-magnetic surveying at the Lantern Prospect followed by diamond drilling

  • Aircore drilling at the Delta Blues Prospect to delineate the near surface boundaries of the prospective intrusive rock units

  • Aircore drilling of newly developed target zones north of the Lantern Prospect

  • Results of aircore drilling will be used in the design of electro-magnetic (EM) geophysical surveys to target conductive responses that may be related to nickel-copper mineralisation

Norseman Project, WA

During the December quarter, follow-up drilling was undertaken at the Subzero Prospect to test targets along strike to the south of initial results which showed wide zones of low-grade copper mineralisation associated with anomalous gold results.[(6)]

A total of 1,279 metres of RC drilling was completed across the Subzero Prospect and at other early stage prospects within the project area including Roadside and Goblin (see Figure 4). Wide zones of sulphide alteration were intercepted at the Subzero and Roadside Prospects with up to 20% semi-massive sulphides recorded.

Copper and zinc contents of the sulphide rich horizons reached maximum values of 0.19% and 0.96% respectively in 3 metre composite samples.

Drilling has established that significant hydrothermal alteration has occurred at both prospects with the prospective zones being at least 800m in strike length.

The potential for an economic VMS style deposit remains high and the Company is establishing a track record of defining and drill testing prospective zones within the Norseman Project area. An untested volcanic package of rocks exists at the Woodcutters Prospect and will be targeted with soil sampling programs and electro-magnetic surveying prior to drill testing (see Figure 5 for Woodcutters Prospect location).

Scout drilling at Norseman has also confirmed a nickel prospective komatiite target under shallow cover at the Goblin Prospect. Magnetic inversion modelling was successfully used to target the basalt/komatiite contact under shallow cover rocks. The same technique will now be applied to the komatiite unit where it occurs along strike to the north at the Gremlin Prospect. The Gremlin Prospect is masked by shallow cover and has never been tested for nickel sulphide mineralisation associated with volcanic komatiite flows.

This style of mineralisation is the dominant deposit type within the prolific Kambalda nickel district. Galileo’s Norseman Project is located at the southern end of the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt which also contains the Kambalda nickel mines.

The Company intends to build its suite of nickel and copper prospects at the Norseman project in anticipation of drill testing later in 2020.

The Norseman Cobalt Project mine lease and miscellaneous license application continue to progress. It is expected that if cobalt prices improve in the future then the Norseman Cobalt Project may again become a significant focus of the Company’s exploration and development programme. Project permit approvals will be a considerable value-add to the asset base at Norseman in the event that cobalt prices recover sufficiently.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 9 March 2020.

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 2019 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 2019.

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 2019 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 2019

  • (c) Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2019

In the period ended 31 December 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current reporting period. Those which have a material impact on the Group are set out below.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases. AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases – for the lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases. The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019.

The Group has applied AASB 16 retrospectively with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application, being 1 July 2019 and has elected not to restate comparative information. Accordingly, the information presented for 30 June 2019 has not been restated.

The impact on the financial performance and position of the Group from the adoption of this Accounting Standards is detailed in note 6.

Other than the above, there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the period ended 31 December 2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

  • (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 2019, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2019 as disclosed above.

6. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

AASB 16 Leases

Impact on operating leases

AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases. The Group has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 which has resulted in changes classification, measurement and recognition leases. The changes result in almost all leases where the Company is the lessee being recognised on the Statement of Financial Position and removes the former distinction between ‘operating and ‘finance leases’. The new standard requires recognition of a right-of-use asset (the leased item) and a financial liability (to pay rentals). The exceptions are short-term, and low value leases.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach under which the reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are recognised in the opening Statement of Financial Position on 1 July 2019. There is no initial Impact on retained earnings under this approach. The Group has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $239,354, which included outgoings commitments of $69,479. Refer note 20 of the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

The Group leases its office premises. As at 30 June 2019, leases were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 July 2019, where the Company is a lessee, the Group recognised a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date which the lease asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a consistent period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The lease payments are discounted using an interest rate implicit in the lease, If that rate cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Extension options are included in the property lease. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option. Extension options are only included In the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended.

On initial application right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised ln the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019.

There were no onerous lease contracts that required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets of initial application.

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under the principles of AASB 117. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 6%.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, the Group has recognised cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and cash payments for the interest portion of the lease liability as interest paid within operating activities.

Extension and termination options are included in the property leases across the Group and are an area of judgement. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. As at 1 July 2019 there was no option to extend the term of the lease.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Galileo Mining Ltd

Report on the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd (“the company”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 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 2019 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 2019 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 . As the auditor of Galileo Mining Ltd, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.
