DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The directors present their report on the Group (consisting of the Company and the entities it controlled during the period) for the half-year ended 31 December 2023.

DIRECTORS

The following directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated:

  • Richard (Brad) Underwood (Chairman and Managing Director)

  • Noel O’Brien (Non-executive Director)

  • Cecilia Camarri (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 $750,880 (2022: $792,877).

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 $10,405,178 (30 June 2023: $14,456,650) and Net Assets of $42,786,882 (30 June 2023: $43,276,571).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Galileo has two highly prospective West Australian resource and exploration projects being:

  1. The Norseman Project prospective for palladium-platinum-nickel-copper-cobalt-rhodium sulphide deposits containing a JORC compliant resource.; and

  2. The Fraser Range Project with exploration tenements prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt.

During the half-year ended 31 December 2023, the Group’s main activities were on exploration at the Norseman Project through a series of RC and Diamond drilling campaigns and other exploration activities.

While Galileo has been focused primarily on developing its Norseman project, the Company also advanced exploration at its Fraser Range Project with ongoing geological reviews and target generation programs during the half year period.

Norseman (100% owned)

During the period, Galileo conducted extensive drilling campaigns across the Norseman project including first pass drilling at North Callisto and at Jimberlana and Mission Sill targets.

Galileo also reported a maiden mineral resource for the Callisto discovery where the nature of the mineralisation is analogous to the Platreef deposits in South Africa where several deposits occur over a strike length of tens of kilometres.

During the half year period, Galileo undertook four RC drill campaigns and finished the diamond drill campaign associated with the Callisto resource definition program. Over 10,950 meters of RC drilling and 602 meters of diamond drilling was completed across Galileo’s Norseman tenements in the half year ending 31[st] December 2023.

Callisto

During the period, the Company undertook the first systematic drill program targeting highly prospective geology along strike to the north from the Callisto nickel-palladium discovery.[4] The 3,800m RC drill program took one month to complete.

In addition, the Company reported new assay results from historic samples drilled 3km south of the Callisto discovery.[5] The RC drill holes were originally drilled in 2018 and targeted near surface cobalt mineralisation. These samples were re-assayed for PGE (platinum group elements) in light of the Callisto discovery.

North Callisto

First pass drilling of the North Callisto prospect was undertaken in September[6] as part of an ongoing systematic exploration program of the area north of the Callisto discovery (Figure 3). This drilling identified two new PGE enriched areas associated with the contact between mafic and ultramafic rock units. Assay results include:

  • 132 metres @ 0.21 g/t 3E from 60m (NRC463)

  • 62 metres @ 0.22 g/t 3E from 136m (NRC470)

  • 100 metres @ 0.19 g/t 3E from 56m (NRC466)

  • 28 metres @ 0.18 g/t 3E from 120m (NRC472)

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Drill holes NRC463, NRC466 and NRC470 are in the northern extension of the magnetic (geological) trend that contains the Callisto deposit. NRC472 is at the southernmost extent of a separate magnetic (geological) trend parallel to the Callisto stratigraphy. Both target horizons illustrated in Figure 3 are interpreted as highly prospective for the intrusive rock types which host the palladium-nickel sulphide mineralisation at Callisto.

In October[7] , Galileo undertook a RC drilling program to focus along strike of drill holes NRC463, NRC466 and NRC470 from the first pass drilling campaign (see Figure 3). Results of the October program showed more anomalous palladium-platinum results including;

  • 28 metres @ 0.17 g/t 3E from 100m (NRC484)

  • 16 metres @ 0.22 g/t 3E from 252m (NRC485)

These results show anomalous PGEs developed in ultramafic rock units east of the interpreted target horizon and highlight the significant prospectivity of the overall ultramafic-mafic sill complex which appears to have developed as multiple intrusive events over the full 20 km strike length.

In addition, a review of the anomalous result of 28 metres at 0.18 g/t 3E in hole NRC472 showed that the anomalous intersection occurred at the base of an ultramafic sill where it overlies a volcanic substrate. This geological configuration is interpreted as being analogous to the Callisto deposit where the mineralised intrusive sill overlies a volcano-sedimentary sequence[8] .

A drill campaign in December tested the zone along strike of NRC472 with two drill holes while the prospect area is subject to ongoing IP surveying aimed at identifying large accumulations of sulphide mineralisation.

Post end of period[9] , the Company reported December drilling had continued to identify anomalous sulphides (NRC490) in an ultramafic rock analogous to the host rock at Callisto with results of:

  • 16 metres @ 0.22 g/t 3E, 0.05% Cu, and 0.10% Ni from 148m (NRC490)

Initial IP results from Callisto North revealed a pronounced chargeable high within the interpreted sulphide zone that is concentrated in a smaller area than the IP response from the target recently drilled west of Callisto (see Figures 4 and 5). This difference in chargeable response may be related to a greater intensity of sulphide accumulation and an accompanying higher potential for economic mineralisation.

IP surveying at North Callisto has been prioritised to develop drill targets along the identified prospective zone. Further IP surveying has also been planned over the remainder of the 20km of strike around the Callisto deposit and the 12km of prospective strike length at the Mission Sill prospect.

South Callisto

In October[10] , first pass RC drilling targeting PGEs at the South Callisto prospect was undertaken as part of a systematic exploration program in the 20km strike zone surrounding the Callisto discovery. Assay results from the October drilling program show more anomalous palladium-platinum results[11] including:

  • 28 metres @ 0.36g/t 3E from surface (NRC477)

  • 96 metres @ 0.18 g/t 3E from surface (NRC479)

  • 80 metres @ 0.12 g/t 3E from 64m (NRC480)

This drilling confirmed highly anomalous PGEs in a fertile ultramafic rock sequence. Geophysical IP surveying is designed to cover four lines at the South Callisto prospect to develop sulphide targets for drill testing.

A program of IP surveying was commenced over the South Callisto prospect in December with additional surveying required, planned in 2024, to provide enough data for a consequential interpretation of potential drill targets.

Callisto

Results from geophysical IP surveying undertaken during the period over the Callisto deposit highlighted strong chargeable features with geological modelling confirming a lower ultramafic sill target zone beneath the deposit which matches the geophysical target.[12]

12 Refer to ASX announcement dated 22 November 2023

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Initial IP surveying results over the Callisto deposit showed a broad chargeable feature west of the known mineralisation[13] (Figure 9). This target was subsequently drilled in December 2023 and while the drill hole (NRC489) successfully intersected sulphides these did not have the same metal tenor as those at Callisto. Results from NRC489 were:

  • 32 metres @ 0.19 g/t 3E, 0.02% Cu, and 0.10% Ni from 92m

Note the difference in the pattern and intensity of chargeable responses between North Callisto in Figures 1 and 2 and West Callisto below.

Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate

In October[14] , Galileo reported the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (Resource) for the Callisto deposit, the first deposit of its type identified in Australia and is analogous in mineralisation style to the Platreef deposits found in South Africa.

The maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, which was defined from a total of 147 drill holes (38,695m), was calculated at:

  • 17.5 Mt @ 1.04g/t 4E, 0.20% Ni, 0.16% Cu (2.3g/t PdEq or 0.52% NiEq) for contained metal of 585,000oz 4E, 35kt Ni and 28kt Cu (~1.27Moz PdEq or ~91,000t NiEq). (See Table 1 for MRE)

Approximately 8Mt (46%) of the resource is inside the indicated category with a 2.5g/t PdEq grade or 0.58% NiEq (metal content within indicated resource category of ~639,000oz PdEq or ~45,800t NiEq).

About 95% of the resource is constrained by pit optimisation signifying robust economic prospects for eventual extraction. The deposit remains open at depth with potential for additional resource delineation.

The discovery, which follows the analysis of two drill holes targeting a geophysical electromagnetic conductor, points to consistent and continuous sulphide mineralisation within a single-modelled geological domain.

Simple metallurgy and excellent recoveries are demonstrated via standard sulphide flotation.

The resource estimate was undertaken by Cube Consulting, using data gathered from drilling activities conducted by Galileo between 2022 and 2023.

Jimberlana & Mission Sill

During the half year, Galileo undertook drill programs at Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects[15] .

The Jimberlana Dyke is an extensive east-west trending mafic-ultramafic dyke with anomalous drill results on both the northern and southern margins. Of note is an intersection on the northern margin at the bottom of an aircore drill hole where geochemically anomalous sulphides were intersected. Strong EM conductors proximal to the anomalous drill intercept make this prospect a compelling target.

The Mission Sill is a mafic-ultramafic intrusion with similar geology to the host rock at the Callisto discovery and is located approximately 6km to the southeast of Callisto and has multiple anomalous drilling results over a 10-kilometre strike length.

Assays from the Mission Sill prospect were received during the period and, although not material in contained metals, the results showed a thick sequence of ultramafic/mafic rock units similar to the rocks which host the Callisto deposit. Further drilling along the 12km prospective strike length of the Mission Sill is being planned.

Jimberlana South

In August[16] , first pass RC drilling at the Jimberlana South prospect intersected nickel and copper sulphides with shallow sulphide lenses starting at approximately 59 metres below surface with best result of:

  • 1 metre @ 0.83% Ni, 0.36% Cu and 0.07% Co from 74m (NRC456) within broader interval of

  • 7 metres @ 0.22% Ni, 0.13% Cu and 0.02% Co from 68m (NRC456)

16 Refer to ASX announcement dated 10 August 2023

15

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

The nickel sulphides occur on the south side of Jimberlana prospect and are open at depth and along strike.

RC drill holes NRC455 and NRC456 targeted a strong electro-magnetic (EM) conductor adjacent to anomalous aircore drilling results[17] . Disseminated and matrix sulphides were intercepted in both RC drill holes with the highest assays coming from a sulphide lens within the ultramafic-mafic target rock in NRC456.

Sulphide zones with anomalous nickel and copper occur within the sediment/basalt and these are also interpreted to be related to the emplacement of the mafic-ultramafic Jimberlana Dyke. The modelled EM conductor is located at the boundary between the target rock and the sediment and basalts.

==> picture [242 x 234] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 11 – Disseminated and matrix sulphides in RC drill chips (53m in NRC455)

A new near surface target zone was identified at Jimberlana South prospect[18] with RC drill hole NRC476 completed as a follow up to drill holes NRC455 and NRC456 (see section in Figure 12) Results from NRC476 include;

  • 52 metres @ 0.29 g/t 3E, 0.15% Cu, and 0.12% Ni from 8m including

  • 28 metres @ 0.34 g/t 3E, 0.20% Cu, and 0.14% Ni from 32m within fresh rock sulphide zone and

  • 8 metres @ 0.50 g/t 3E, 0.29% Cu, and 0.19% Ni from 40m

Multiple sulphide zones were intersected in NRC476 with the most prospective being the upper disseminated sulphide zone within a gabbro unit of the layered mafic-ultramafic Jimberlana Dyke. Assays from this interval showed strong enrichment in PGEs, copper, and nickel within a broad zone on the margin of the dyke.

This location matches the mineralisation model which suggests the margins of the dyke as being the most prospective for the accumulation of sulphide minerals. The lower sulphide zone in NRC476 matches the position of the modelled EM conductor and is associated with a metal enriched (silver-copper-zinc) sedimentary-volcanic unit.

Follow up drilling is planned for the target zone beneath the sulphide-in-gabbro intersection from NRC476 as shown in Figure 12. Figure 13 shows the plan map, with magnetic background imagery, of NRC476 at the Jimberlana South prospect with the prospective contact zone along the margin of the dyke.

In December[19] , Galileo undertook RC drilling at Jimberlana South to follow up on drill assays from drill hole NRC476 with three follow up drill holes drilled as part of this campaign.

19 Refer to ASX announcement dated 4 December 2023

17

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

Post end of period[20] , assay results from this RC drilling campaign were received highlighting widespread sulphide zones including:

  • 24 metres @ 0.21 g/t 3E, 0.15% Cu, and 0.15% Ni from 36m (NRC486)

  • 16 metres @ 0.38 g/t 3E, 0.18% Cu, and 0.05% Ni from 152m (NRC488)

The December 2023 drilling extended the known area of sulphide mineralisation which is open in all directions. The prospective sulphide target zone will be further drill tested to determine whether there are higher grade sulphide zones along strike or at depth.

Jimberlana North

First assays received from the drilling program at Jimberlana prospect show elevated metals in a newly discovered sulphide zone.[21] The new sulphide zone is on the northern side of the Jimberlana prospect and is completely open at depth and along strike. The drill intersection included an 11-metre zone starting from a shallow depth of approximately 53 metres below surface;

  • 11 metres @ 0.21 g/t 3E, 0.18% Cu, 0.13% Ni and 0.03% Co from 61m downhole (NRC442) including

  • • 1 metre @ 0.68 g/t 3E, 0.52% Cu, 0.44% Ni and 0.08% Co from 68m

  • An adjacent drill hole also shows anomalous sulphides with:

  • 13 metres @ 0.14 g/t 3E, 0.08% Cu, 0.07% Ni and 0.01% Co from 71m (NRC443)

Figure 16 – RC drill chips with sulphide from NRC442

RC drill holes NRC442 and NRC443 were completed as a follow up to air core drill hole NAC105 which intercepted sulphides at the bottom of hole.[22] Disseminated and banded semi-massive sulphides were intercepted in both RC drill holes on the margin of the Jimberlana Dyke (an ultramafic/mafic east-west intrusive unit) where it has cross-cut the volcano-sedimentary stratigraphy. EM conductors to the north of the prospective contact zone appear to primarily be related to rock units within the volcano-sedimentary stratigraphy.

However, it is believed that discriminating between conductive signals attributable to magmatic sulphide on the margin of the dyke and broad regional conductors is not practical with surface EM methods. In addition, there may be considerable interaction between sulphide bearing stratigraphy and the Jimberlana Dyke along the area of interest.

Next Steps

IP surveying has now commenced to cover the 20km prospective strike length around Callisto and generate further targets for drill testing. The immediate priority is to target the North Callisto sulphide trend where geological mapping has begun with the intention of providing a detailed overview of an area that has been subject to very limited modern exploration. Geological and geophysical data will then be integrated to support target generation and drill testing.

Follow up IP results from North Callisto, and initial geological mapping results from the broader project area, are expected to be received in March 2024.

Fraser Range Project (67% GAL / 33% Creasy Group JV)

While the priority for Galileo during the quarter was exploration at Norseman, the Company continued to progress exploration work at its Fraser Range project.

Regional EM surveying has been completed at Galileo’s northern Fraser Range project area with the aim of defining new undercover nickel targets for drill testing. Previous drilling at the Lantern South and Lantern East prospects has established the area as highly prospective for sulphides. The conductive anomaly at the Easterly prospect is northeast along strike and ready for drill testing.

Conductive responses from EM surveying will undergo final modelling to assess whether additional infill EM surveying is required prior to drill testing. Applications for government approvals to drill within the Fraser Range are planned for submission in early 2024 with drilling to occur post all approvals and finalisation of drill targets. The current parameters of EM models at untested prospects are shown in Table 2. The location of the prospects is shown in Figure 17 with the target intrusions on the new tenement along strike to the south.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial report of Galileo Mining Ltd for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 14 March 2024.

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 half-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 2023 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 Group as the full financial report.

For the purpose of preparing the financial report, the Group 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 2023.

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 2023 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).

GALILEO MINING LTD ABN 70 104 114 132

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

(c) Adoption of new and revised standards

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2023

In the period ended 31 December 2023, 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. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no 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 2023. 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 2023, except for the impact of the new Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2023 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.

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 2023 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 .

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.
