Highlights

  • Extensive conductor identified beneath a high-grade copper gossan[(1)] at the Subzero Prospect

  • Conductors modelled over a strike length of 2.1 kilometres as a series of blocks starting at 80 to 90 metres below surface

  • Significant potential for the discovery of a copper deposit in an infrastructure rich region of Western Australia

  • Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling planned for August 2019

Projects

Norseman Project Cobalt-Nickel-Copper

Fraser Range Project Nickel-Copper-Gold

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce moving loop electro-magnetic (MLEM) surveying has delineated highly conductive targets beneath the Subzero Copper Prospect near the town of Norseman in Western Australia.

The MLEM survey was completed over an area where earlier prospecting and mapping had identified a high-grade copper gossan.

The company has recorded copper grades up to 19.9% from surface oxide breccia samples with further iron rich gossan samples assaying up to 1.1% copper.[(1)]

Galileo Mining Managing Director Brad Underwood said: “ The Subzero Prospect represents a classic drill target with a copper rich gossan on surface underlain by a conductor at depth. The magnitude of the conductor suggests the possibility of a large mineralised system and we plan to commence drill testing the area in August. Galileo is an active and well-funded mineral explorer that aims to make discoveries to create value for our shareholders. Previous explorers focussed on gold and nickel exploration around Norseman providing us with the opportunity to drill an untested copper target with potential for considerable value creation.”

The MLEM survey, which utilised 400 metre loops and a Jessy Deeps SQUID in a Slingram configuration, has identified conductors over 2.1km of strike length. Conductive rocks are frequently targeted in copper exploration as the sulphide minerals that can host copper provide an excellent response to electro-magnetic geophysical techniques.

The Subzero conductors match the location of prospective volcanic rocks mapped in the field and are particularly noteworthy given their relationship with the copper gossan on surface. Sub-surface drill testing can now be directed towards the source of the conductors to determine the economic potential of the rocks at depth.

An initial RC drilling program is scheduled to commence in August 2019 with drill holes planned to test beneath the copper outcrop and into the top of the conductor at approximately 90 metres below surface.

Pillow basalts have been mapped to the west of the copper outcrop which is hosted in a silicified volcanic sediment. To the east a gabbro appears to have intruded the volcanic sequence. No straightforward evidence of facing direction exists with the dip of the rocks generally subvertical to the west. Cross structures have been interpreted from a recently flown detailed 50m magnetic survey and may represent zones of fluid flow.

Modelling of EM data has shown two strongly conductive zones along the prospective contact position at the Subzero Prospect. The northern model is over 1,500 metres in length with the top of the model varying between 90 and 110 metres below surface. The model dips at 88 degrees to the west, extends over 600m below surface, and has a modelled conductivity thickness of 11,000 Siemens.

The southern model is over 800 metres in length with the top of the model varying between 80 and 110 metres below surface. This model dips at 82 degrees to the west, extends over 400m below surface, and has a modelled conductivity thickness of 12,100 Siemens.

The modelled conductivities are consistent with those expected from massive sulphide sources however Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide systems can occur within conductive host rocks and additional targeting may be required to locate zones with the most potential for economic mineralisation.

The first RC drilling program will test for copper oxide mineralisation beneath the gossan and test the modelled EM conductor at a position closest to the copper rich outcrop.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
•No drilling was completed in this phase
of works.
•GEM Geophysics Pty Ltd was
contracted to complete the Moving
Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey.
•MLEM survey data was collected with

configuration. Z, X and Y component
data were collected at a base
frequency of 1Hz.

geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

•The Mount Kirk formation is described
as “Acid and basic volcanic rocks and

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
_case. _
•No drilling reported
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
_equivalent values should be clearly stated. _
•No assays reported
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
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 known’). _
•No drilling completed
•The mineralisation occurs on surface
with a general strike of 010° similar to
the host rock
•Geometry from surface outcrop is best
described as sub-vertical however no
reliable quantitative measurements
exist.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
•Plan map of the general prospect area
and detailed location plan map with
high grade samples has been included
along with accurate hand-held GPS
sample locations (Garmin GPS 78s) +/-
5m in X/Y/Z dimensions.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
_Results. _
•All significant results are reported.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
•Detailed 50m line spaced aeromagnetic
