Commenting on the quarterly activities, Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said: “The December quarter marked another important step forward for Galileo. The RC drilling program completed during the quarter was designed to test priority targets beneath encouraging near-surface PGE and gold anomalism, and we look forward to reporting assay results which are expected in late January/early February.
The completion of a large-scale gravity survey across the Norseman Project is a significant technical milestone. This dataset will substantially improve our understanding of the subsurface geological architecture and help refine drill targeting across multiple prospects as we plan follow-up programs in 2026.
With a strong cash position of ~ $9.1m, including $1m received during the quarter from lithium joint venture partner Mineral Resources, Galileo is well placed to maintain exploration momentum and continue advancing what we believe is a new mineral district of considerable scale.”
Corporate
As of 31[st] December 2025, the Company remained very well-funded to continue exploration with cash of approximately A$9.1 million.
The cash balance includes the receipt of a A$1.0 million Tranche 2 progress payment from Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN) under the Norseman Lithium Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement.[1]
As previously announced, the Joint Venture partners agreed to a temporary suspension of the full joint venture until final payment of the $1.5 million cash consideration. During the suspension Mineral Resources may undertake low-impact, non-ground-disturbing exploration activities at its own cost. The arrangement preserves flexibility for future exploration while providing Galileo with non-dilutive funding support.
Please refer to the accompanying Appendix 5B Quarterly Cash Flow Report for the period ended 31 December 2025 for further information.

RC Drilling Program
==> picture [454 x 305] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: RC drilling at the Norseman Project during the December 2025 drilling program
During the December quarter, Galileo completed a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its wholly owned Norseman Project in Western Australia.[2]
Approximately 2,000m of RC drilling was undertaken in the campaign program. The program was designed to test for bedrock mineralisation beneath previously identified near-surface gold and Platinum Group Element (PGE) anomalism, following up encouraging aircore results reported earlier in 2025.
RC drilling targeted priority prospects including Mission Sill (15 planned drill holes), Jimberlana South (one planned drill hole) and Callisto North (two planned drill holes), focusing on interpreted ultramafic– mafic contacts and structural positions considered favourable for sulphide-hosted PGE-gold mineralisation. These geological settings are analogous to those hosting mineralisation at the existing Callisto palladium-platinum-gold-rhodium-nickel–copper deposit. The location of the prospects relative to the existing Callisto resource is shown in Figure 2.

All drilling was completed safely and on schedule. Samples have been submitted for laboratory analysis, with assay results pending and expected to be received and reported in late January/early February 2026.
The Callisto Deposit was discovered in 2022 and has a 17.5Mt resource (refer Table 2 Page 12) with multi-element palladium-platinum-gold-rhodium-nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The Callisto prospective trend extends over 20km, and the adjacent Mission Sill trend has over 12km of prospective strike (see Figure 3).

Gravity Survey
Galileo completed a large-scale ground gravity survey across the Norseman Project during the quarter.[3] The survey was designed to enhance understanding of subsurface geological architecture, intrusive geometries and structural controls across the breadth of the Norseman ultramafic sill complexes.

==> picture [172 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
Survey coverage included key prospective corridors such as the Mission Sill trend and areas surrounding the Callisto deposit, where previous drilling has demonstrated the potential for extensive mineralised systems.
Processing and interpretation of the gravity data are now underway and will be integrated with existing geological mapping, geochemistry, magnetics and drilling datasets to refine drill targets and support future drilling programs planned for 2026.

Figure 4: Norseman Project outline (blue line) with gravity survey (black dashed line), Callisto Deposit (red star) and prospects requiring follow up drilling (grey stars).
The Callisto prospective trend extends over 20km and the Mission Sill trend has over 12km of prospective strike (see also Figure 3).
The Callisto Deposit was discovered in 2022 and has a 17.5Mt resource with palladium-platinum-goldrhodium-nickel-copper mineralisation.
Approximately 3,000 gravity stations were surveyed on a 400m by 100m spacing across the prospective areas of mafic-ultramafic sill complexes within the Norseman Project area. Sulphide mineralisation at the Callisto deposit occurs as a basal unit of an ultramafic sill and its occurrence may be localised by controlling cross-structures. The overall sill complex extends over 20km of strike around the Callisto resource and the presence of high grade Pd-Pt-Au-Ni-Cu may reflect late-stage structures along which magma has intruded. Gravity surveying was designed to cover the prospective zones at a project scale

to assist in understanding the structures which have formed both the mafic-ultramafic host sill complex and the mineralisation itself. Final data delivery and interpretation of the results are anticipated to occur in February 2026.
New Aircore Drilling Results (Mission Sill)
Aircore drilling at the Mission Sill prospect in August returned new, high-grade gold and PGE results during the quarter, confirming the prospectivity of the Eastern Contact Zone and providing strong geological support for the follow-up RC drilling completed in December.[4]
Approximately 4,300m of aircore drilling in 149 drill holes was undertaken in the August aircore drill campaign. Assays released to the ASX in September[5] showed PGE anomalism along the 10km Eastern Contact Zone at the Mission Sill prospect. Further anomalism was reported from the offset Mission Sill South prospect 1.5km to the south of the Mission Sill Eastern Contact Zone (see Figure 5).
Following the initial results, selected intervals were assayed on a single metre basis using fire assay techniques to help pinpoint peak anomalism and the potential sources of the anomalies at depth (original assays were aqua regia only). Results of one metre split sampling are shown in Table 1 with a maximum gold grade of 13.7 g/t being a standout highlight (NAC759).

While the priority for Galileo during the quarter was exploration at Norseman, the Company is in the process of reviewing and interpreting all available data from its Fraser Range prospects Easterly, Westerly, and Kitchener, including the results from the June 2025 quarter’s RC drilling campaign.
As previously reported in the June Quarter Activities Report, 25WERC002 was drilled to 241m at the Westerly prospect with 25EARC001 and 25EARC002 drilled to 235m and 318m respectively at the Easterly prospect (see Figures 7 and 8 for prospect locations). 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.
27 RC chip samples were petrographically described and these results are now being integrated with the drill results, downhole EM survey results, magnetic data, and gravity data to determine further work programs.

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 nickel-copper 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[6] , 0.20% Ni, 0.16% Cu (2.3g/t PdEq[7] or 0.52% NiEq[8] ).
Table 2 - Callisto Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC 2012) (see ASX announcement: 2 October 2023)
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.
