➢ Noel O’Brien (Non-executive Director)
-
➢ Mathew Whyte (Non-executive Director)
The Company Secretary is Mr Mathew Whyte.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Group during the period was mineral exploration.
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The net loss of the Group for the half-year after providing for income tax amounted to $220,767 (2019: $496,471).
The Group has not reached a stage in its development where it is generating an operating profit. All the Group’s efforts go into project exploration and evaluation.
At the end of the financial period the Group had cash on hand, including deposits of $6,921,931 (30 June 2020: $8,697,061) and Net Assets of $19,658,753 (30 June 2020: $19,944,176).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Galileo has two highly prospective West Australian resource and exploration projects being:
-
The Fraser Range Project with exploration tenements prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt deposits, and
-
The Norseman Nickel-Cobalt Project with a JORC compliant nickel-cobalt resource.
During the half-year ended 31 December 2020, the Group’s main activities were on exploration at the Fraser Range Project through a series of diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaigns, electromagnetic (EM) surveying and other exploration activities.
While Galileo has been focused on developing its Fraser Range project, the Company also advanced exploration at its Norseman Project, which occurs at the southern end of the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt.

Fraser Range Project
During the half-year, Galileo undertook significant exploration programs at the Lantern Prospect in the Fraser Range.
Drilling Campaigns
Only a limited amount of drilling has been undertaken at the Lantern prospects and Galileo is the first company to explore the area for bedrock mineralisation. No previous nickel exploration has occurred on Galileo’s northern Fraser Range tenure which provides the Company with a first mover advantage on a virgin greenfields property in a new nickel belt.
RC drilling was undertaken in August 2020 to expand the known area of mineralised ultramafic target rocks at the Lantern South prospect, to investigate the stratigraphy at the Lantern East prospect, and to establish precollars for the now completed diamond drilling program.
Assays from LARC012 showed anomalous nickel and copper over 41 metres from the shallow depth of 55 metres downhole (see Figure 2). Importantly, nickel and copper were also associated with anomalous gold, platinum and palladium which are significant indicators of magmatic nickel-copper systems.
==> picture [440 x 331] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2 ––Lantern South Prospect Plan View of RC Drilling showing Sulphide Target Zone
Previous nickel and copper intersected at a similar depth in LARC002 was found to be related to sulphide mineralisation at depth in LARC003 and LARC013D. This strongly suggests that sulphide mineralisation will exist beneath LARC012. The sulphide target zone on the western margin of the ultramafic unit continues to be open further to the south as shown.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132
Downhole EM surveying of RC drill holes adjacent to LARC013D were completed with results limited to near surface effects due to weathered regolith and cover material. RC drilling and diamond drill core logging suggest that the best potential for further mineralisation at Lantern South is towards the south of the intrusion where the projected sulphide zone wraps around the intrusion (Figure 2).
A diamond drilling exploration campaign was subsequently completed at the Lantern prospect in September. Three significant nickel targets were drilled, and Figure 3 shows the relative locations of Lantern East EM target (LARC008D), the structural target (LARC011D), and the disseminated sulphide target at Lantern South (LARC013D).
==> picture [495 x 341] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3 – Diamond Drill Holes at Lantern South & Lantern East Prospects (over Magnetic Image)
The diamond drilling at Lantern intersected further sulphide mineralisation within hole LARC013D, which targeted disseminated sulphide mineralisation along strike from previously reported RC drill hole LARC003 at the Lantern South prospect.
23m of heavily disseminated, blebby and banded nickel-copper sulphides in ultramafic host rock were intercepted in the diamond drill hole. Assays from this section averaged 0.19% nickel and 0.14% copper. Of great importance was the intersection of a 7cm band of primary, massive sulphide (see Figure 4). This section assayed 4.6% nickel, 2.2% copper and 0.15% cobalt and demonstrates the ability of the mineral system at the Lantern Prospect to create high grade nickel and copper sulphides.
Galileo completed petrographic analysis of diamond drill core recovered from hole LARC013D, which encountered heavily disseminated, blebby and banded nickel-copper sulphides in ultramafic host rock (see Figure 4).

Figure 4 – Disseminated, blebby and banded sulphide mineralisation in drill hole LARC013D (downhole depth 135m to 138m, HQ core diameter 6.35cm)
Petrography results showed the massive sulphide consists mainly of very coarse pyrrhotite. Chalcopyrite and pentlandite form veins, stringers and masses within the massive pyrrhotite. The host rock is gabbronorite with plagioclase, orthophyroxene and hornblende being the dominant host rock minerals (Figure 5).

Figure 5 – Massive Pyrrhotite-Chalcopyrite-Pentlandite Sulphide Mineralisation in Lantern South Diamond Drill Core (scale: height of slide = 26mm, from 136.2m downhole, LARC013D)
The petrography data has confirmed high tenor sulphide mineralisation at Lantern South in a typical magmatic sulphide setting. These results support the concept that if larger accumulations of massive sulphide exist at the Lantern prospect then there is a strong likelihood that the sulphides will be of high nickel tenor.
The analysis assisted in developing additional drill targets at Lantern South, with the Company planning for additional rounds of drilling to expand the footprint of mineralisation and to identify those areas with the greatest capacity for higher grade mineralisation.

Lantern East
In addition to drilling at Lantern South, the Company also completed diamond drilling at the Lantern East Prospect during the half year. LARC008D (see Figure 3) targeted an EM conductor on the margin of a major gabbronorite intrusion at the Lantern East prospect.
LARC008D intersected a suite of mafic intrusions with minor mafic granulite and pegmatite units. The dominant mafic intrusions are various types of gabbronorite with the disseminated and blebby sulphide mineralisation (predominantly pyrrhotite, with lesser chalcopyrite-pentlandite) occurring in the upper parts of the hole.
In total, sulphides are present over 108.5 metres between 204m and 312.5m downhole. Maximum nickel and copper levels in drill hole LARC008D were approximately 300ppm reflecting the predominance of pyrrhotite at this location. The lower part of the drill hole from 312.5m intersected the regionally large gabbronorite intrusion and did not contain sulphide minerals.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132
LARC008D targeted an EM conductor with the top of the model at 225m below surface. The drill hole pierced the model at approximately 320m down hole however no conductive source was identified. The blebby and disseminated sulphides intersected between 204 and 312 metres are not conjoined or abundant enough to produce a conductive response. Initial downhole EM surveying did not identify a conductor able to explain the responses observed from surface moving loop and fixed loop EM surveys.
Additional EM surveying has since been undertaken and the modelling revised based on the updated data sets. The new in-loop moving loop survey data has been modelled as a subvertical 430-metre-long body, striking approximately 310 degrees, with a strong conductance of 2,500 Siemens. The depth below surface to the top of the body is 140 metres (Figure 6).
The revised fixed loop EM model has been created with a similar strike orientation but offset to the south of the in-loop model. The new fixed loop model has a shorter strike length of 145m and a stronger conductance of 3,925 Siemens. The depth below surface of this model is approximately 180m.

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132
The occurrence of sulphide in LARC008D is highly encouraging as it may represent a halo zone proximal to much greater sulphide accumulation associated with the EM conductive models 150 metres north of the current drilling. No graphitic or sulphidic sediments have been encountered and any conductive response represents a high priority target as it is more likely to be associated with sulphide bearing intrusive rock units.
Given the significant occurrence of nickel and copper mineralisation, Galileo has accelerated plans to develop more regional prospects into drill targets. During the period, Galileo was able to complete surveying at the Green Moon prospect, approximately six kilometres from the Lantern Prospect, where a large and strong conductor has been identified (see Figure 7).
The conductor coincides with an area where aircore drilling has previously defined mafic intrusive rock types prospective for magmatic nickel-copper deposits[3] . Modelling of the Green Moon anomaly shows a strong conductor of 4,000 Siemens with a strike length of 300 metres at a depth of 545 metres below surface. Table 1 shows the parameters of the new conductor at Green Moon along with the existing conductors at adjacent prospects.
Table 1: Modelled parameters of conductors:
| Prospect | Conductance | Length | Height | Depth to Top |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green Moon | 4,000S | 300m | 400m | 545m |
| Lantern East (moving-loop survey) |
2,500S | 430m | 60m* | 140m |
| Lantern East (fixed loop survey) |
3,925S | 145m | 66m* | 177m |
| Lantern North | 1,200S | 400m | 200m | 340m |
- Down-dip extents of sub-vertical conductive bodies are broad estimates only as the EM surveys preferentially respond to the upper part of the conductor.
Norseman
While Galileo has been focused on developing its Fraser Range project, during the half-year period the Company also advanced exploration at its Norseman nickel-copper-cobalt project, which occurs at the southern end of the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt.
1,726 soil samples (1,620 unique sample locations) targeting areas with potential for nickel were recently collected. Soil sampling at Norseman was primarily undertaken to identify areas with prospectivity for nickel sulphide mineralisation. Integration of soil sampling data with geophysical data, hyperspectral data, geological data, topographical data, and satellite imagery will now be undertaken to give the sample assays context and meaning.

(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 2020, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2020 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 consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 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 information, 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 does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 .
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company 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 for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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 .
