Active Exploration Zone
Galileo Mining, Legend Mining, Creasy, IGO
-
Lantern and Delta Blues - two key prospect areas in the northern Fraser Range
-
Lantern Prospect is 50km along strike from Legend Mining’s Mawson Prospect
-
Delta Blues Prospect is along strike from Legend Mining’s Crean and Worsley Prospects
-
Galileo tenements surrounded by Legend Mining and IGO tenure
-
First RC and diamond drilling at the Lantern Prospect intercepted disseminated nickel-copper magmatic sulphide
-
• Demonstrates prospectivity of Galileo’s tenements with confirmation of mineralised geological systems
10
Exploration in the Fraser Range
Prospective Proterozoic beneath Eocene sediments
-
Mafic-ultramafic magmatic intrusions
-
High-grade granulite facies metamorphism
-
Interpretation of intrusions mostly from detailed aeromagnetic data
-
Aircore drilling used as a first pass test for area prospectivity; provides data on lithology, depth of cover, and Proterozoic regolith
-
Followed by Moving Loop EM surveying to define conductors
-
RC and diamond drilling of geochemical targets from aircore drilling and conductive targets from geophysical surveying

Drilling Activity
RC and diamond drilling campaigns
-
First RC and diamond drilling programs intersect sulphides
-
23m @ 0.19% Ni & 0.14% Cu from 133m in disseminated nickel-copper sulphides from ultramafic host rock at Lantern South (LARC013D)[1]

Lantern South
Prospect
-
Ultramafic intrusion with nickel-copper sulphides
-
Limited drilling with potential for additional mineralisation
First appearance of high tenor primary massive sulphide over small intersection
Recent diamond drilling showed further disseminated mineralisation
Downhole EM surveying currently underway to look for off-hole conductive targets
-
Open to the south and at depth – follow up drilling required
13
Lantern East Prospect
EM target on margin of major intrusion
-
1.6km along strike from Lantern South
-
Magnetic interpretation indicated large gabbronorite intrusion; confirmed by aircore drilling
-
108m of disseminated pyrrhotite sulphide in first diamond drill hole (LARC008D)
-
Follow up drilling showed source of conductor likely to be bands of pyrrhotite sulphide (LADD001 and LADD002)
-
Downhole EM surveying currently underway to look for off hole conductive targets
-
Confirmation of prospective mineralised ground – now need to vector towards any nickel and copper on Galileo’s tenements
14
Delta Blues Prospect
Multiple EM targets within zone of prospective intrusions
-
Two strong EM conductors (modelled from 3,300 to 11,000 Siemens)[1]

-
Weathered sulphides (0.5 – 1%) observed in petrographic samples of cumulate intrusions
-
Prospective area with Legend Mining’s Crean Prospect 4 km along strike
-
S2 Resources identifying sulphides in drilling 300m from conductor DB2
-
Conductors likely to be linked to sulphide with drill testing needed to determine possible economic value
