Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has purchased 100% of tenement E28/2797 (the “Tenement”) along strike of the Company’s nickel-copper sulphide prospects in the Fraser Range region of Western Australia.

Commenting on the Tenement acquisition Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said; “ We are very pleased to have secured a strategic new tenement in a critical part of the Fraser Range Belt. The Tenement is along strike from our current work areas in the Fraser Range and is particularly close to our Lantern South Prospect where nickel-copper sulphides have been intercepted in drilling. The Tenement has never been drilled and, given its proximity to known prospects, is one of the best unexplored tenements in the Fraser Range.

Ground EM surveying to cover all the interpreted prospective zones on the new Tenement is planned to start in December. If positive results from this target

generation work are obtained we will move to the target testing phase of exploration involving drilling. We are fully committed to our Fraser Range work programs and believe the possibility for new mineral discoveries in the region is substantial.”

Interpretation of detailed aeromagnetic surveying over E28/2797 has identified intrusive rock signatures with potential for Nova style nickel-copper mineralisation (Figure 1). Ground EM surveying of the tenement is scheduled to begin in December in conjunction with the Company’s ongoing target generation program. Full EM survey of the prospective zones on the new Tenement is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022. Positive EM results will lead to drilling programs to test targets for economic mineralisation.

The Tenement was purchased from individual tenement holder Mrs S. E. Creasy for a Total Consideration of $170,000 being $89,920 cash and 308,000 Galileo shares at a deemed price of $0.26 per share (Consideration Shares). The Consideration Shares are subject to a 12-month voluntary escrow agreement from the date of issue and were issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

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.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple

sampling bit or other type, whether core is
_oriented and ifso, by what method, etc). _
•No drilling was completed in this phase
of works.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the

_intersections logged. _

unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering

methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high

usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of

be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent

lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of

If the geometry of the

should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
