==> picture [172 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

  • Four high priority electro-magnetic (EM) sulphide targets were drill tested with 1,446m of RC drilling and five completed drill holes

  • Drilling at the Westerly and Easterly prospects intersected meta-sediments with graphite interspersed with Fraser Range mafic intrusive rock units

  • Down hole EM surveying is planned for the Westerly and Easterly prospects to look for offhole conductors that may be related to sulphide mineralisation

  • Drilling at the K2 and K3 prospects intersected graphitic meta-sediments with paragneiss and minor pyrrhotite

  • No significant assays were returned and further drilling will be determined by the results of down hole EM surveying

Commenting on the quarterly activities, Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said:

“Galileo continued to develop exciting prospects across its portfolio during the June quarter. Highly encouraging results from our drill campaign at Norseman extended known palladium and platinum mineralisation at the Mission Sill prospect. We have now defined the Eastern Contact Zone as a key exploration target, with mineralisation traced along strike for more than four kilometres in the central zone and two kilometres in the north.

The maximum palladium grades of over 4 g/t and platinum over 2 g/t from aircore drilling highlight the potential for new resources to be discovered in the area after the prospectivity of the project was proven with the 2022 discovery of the Callisto resource. Galileo is one of only a few companies with PGE resources in Australia and the Norseman project has excellent potential for additional discoveries.

Aircore drilling is scheduled to commence in July to test the southern extent of this mineralised Mission Sill trend with further RC drilling planned for later in the year.

At the same time, drilling took place during the quarter at our Fraser Range project – a highly prospective region with prospects located along strike from the Nova, Silver Knight, and Mawson nickel-copper deposits. Drilling showed that our Easterly and Westerly prospects contain mafic intrusive rocks prospective for Fraser Range style mineralisation however no significant assays were returned from this first round of drilling. Follow up drilling will depend on the results of down hole EM surveying.

We are also pleased to have secured co-funding through Western Australia’s Exploration Incentive Scheme to drill test beneath the Callisto deposit. This deep RC and diamond drilling will help unlock the next chapter of exploration at Norseman.

Galileo remains well-funded and strategically positioned across two high-potential projects. With multiple targets across our portfolio, we are excited by the opportunities ahead and look forward to updating shareholders as results from our exploration campaigns are received.”

Follow up one metre samples from selected geochemically anomalous zones were completed using a higher quality fire assay for quantitative palladium, platinum and gold analyses.[8] Peak assays of 4.11 g/t palladium and 2.47 g/t platinum were reported over one metre from 29m depth in NAC617.

NAC617 occurs at the end of an aircore drill line and is open to the east. This area is now a focus for further aircore drilling aiming to identify the extent of the anomalism prior to deeper RC drill testing. Figure 4 shows the location of the NAC617 target zone and a larger map of the same prospect is displayed in Figure 5. Figure 6 shows the location of an additional three target zones which have been confirmed through one metre sample assays.

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

Results of a target generation review of electro-magnetic (EM) survey data of Galileo’s Fraser Range project were released during the March quarter with four new targets identified and complementing the existing Easterly Prospect. All of the new targets were based on a combination of geophysical EM surveying and geological interpretation of magnetic data. No basement outcrop exists in the area and the targets represented a new generation of undercover prospects. Four prospects were drill tested in

the current quarter with 1,446m of RC drilling. Drilling rates were impeded by running sand in cover rock with five drill holes completed and two holes abandoned. All completed drill holes were drilled to an appropriate depth to test the specified EM targets. No significant assays were returned from the first round of drilling with any follow up drilling to be determined by the results of down hole EM surveying.

Location of targets drill tested in the current quarter are shown in Figures 8 and 9 with the modelled EM parameters contained in Table 1. Appendices 2 and 3 contain the JORC compliant drill hole information for the drilling undertaken.

25WERC002 was drilled to 241m at the Westerly prospect with 25EARC001 and 25EARC002 drilled to 235m and 318m respectively at the Easterly prospect. Each of these drill holes intersected prospective Fraser Range mafic intrusive rocks interspersed with meta-sediments. Varying degrees of graphite occurred in the meta-sediments close to the modelled EM conductors. Downhole EM surveying is planned at these prospects to look for off-hole conductors that may be related to sulphide mineralisation.

25K2RC001 was drilled to 276m at the K2 prospect and 25K3RC002 was drilled to 318m at the K3 prospect. Both drill holes intercepted graphitic meta-sediments, paragneiss containing minor pyrrhotite, and minor mafic rock units. The graphitic intervals matched the modelled EM conductors and no further work is currently planned at these prospects.

About Galileo Mining:

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) is focussed on the exploration and development of PGE (palladiumplatinum), nickel, copper, and cobalt resources in Western Australia. GAL’s tenements near Norseman are highly prospective for new discoveries as shown by the Callisto deposit. GAL also has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over tenements in the Fraser Range which are prospective for nickelcopper sulphide deposits similar to the operating Nova mine.

Norseman (100% GAL)

The wholly owned Norseman project contains the Callisto Discovery and adjacent regional prospects Jimberlana and Mission Sill with potential for palladium, platinum, nickel, copper, cobalt, and rhodium mineralisation. Galileo’s tenure at Norseman comprises mining, exploration, and prospecting licenses covering a total area of 255 km[2] .

The Callisto deposit was discovered in 2022 and is the first deposit of its type identified in Australia, analogous in mineralisation style to the Platreef deposits found in South Africa. An initial Mineral Resource Estimate was reported in 2023 with 17.5 Mt @ 1.04g/t 4E[10] , 0.20% Ni, 0.16% Cu (2.3g/t PdEq[11] or 0.52% NiEq[12] ).

Metal equivalent price assumptions of Callisto Resource released on 2[nd] October 2023

Based on metallurgical test work completed to date, the Company believes that Callisto’s mineralisation is amenable to concentration using a conventional crushing, milling and flotation process and has Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction.

Metallurgical recovery assumptions used for metal equivalent value calculations were: Pd – 82%, Pt – 78%, Au – 79%, Rh – 63%, Ni – 77%, Cu – 94%

Metal price assumptions, based on 12 month calculated averages to 11[th] September 2023, were used for metal equivalent values: Pd – US$1,600/oz, Pt – US$975/oz, Au – US$1,870/oz, Rh – US$9,420/oz, Ni - US23,800/t, Cu – US$8,420/t. Based on metallurgical test work completed to date, the Company believes that all metals included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

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

Galileo is actively exploring for magmatic massive sulphide- nickel-copper deposits across its Fraser Range tenements covering over 670km[2] of highly prospective ground in the Albany-Fraser Orogen. The project is well positioned within the nickel-copper bearing Fraser Range Zone, with the Nova-Bollinger mine located between 30km and 90km from Galileo tenure.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there
is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
•Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling,
was used to obtain one metre

Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
•Drill hole collars are surveyed with
a handheld GPS with an accuracy
of +/-5m which is considered
sufficient for drill hole location
accuracy.

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
•Drill hole spacing for the individual
drill holes was not grid based. The
holes were placed to target
potential mineralisation as indicated
by geophysical methods (EM) and
geological interpretation.
•Drill spacing is insufficient for the
purposes of Mineral Resource
estimation.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
•It is unknown whether the
orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling as interpretation
of quantitative measurements of
mineralised zones/structures has
not yet been completed.
•The drilling is oriented either
perpendicular to the regional
lithological strike and dip or
perpendicular to the modelled EM
conductor.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. •Each sample was put into a tied off
calico bag and then several placed
in large plastic “polyweave” bags
which were zip tied closed.
•Samples were delivered directly to
the laboratory in Kalgoorlie by
Galileo staff.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
•Continuous improvement internal
reviews of sampling techniques and
procedures are ongoing. No
external audits have been

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
