Highlights

  • First diamond drilling program of the year has commenced at Galileo’s Fraser Range nickel project

  • Priority EM target at the Lantern East prospect will be tested by two drill holes with planned depths of 300 metres each

  • Up to 1,000 metres of diamond drilling is scheduled for completion depending on early results

  • Initial drilling is expected to take approximately 10 days to finish with a market update and assays to follow

Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce diamond core drilling is underway at the Company’s Lantern East prospect within the Fraser Range Nickel Belt in Western Australia.

Lantern East represents a compelling nickel target with an EM anomaly occurring on the margin of a large intrusive rock unit. Modelling of the EM data indicates that the top of the target is between 140m and 180m below surface[1] .

Diamond drilling represents a definitive target test to establish the cause of the EM response and whether it is related to nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Commenting on the upcoming drilling program Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said; “ This is our first drilling program of the year and we have a welldefined target to test at our Lantern East prospect. Our previous drilling in the area showed that we have the right rocks and we are now at the stage of testing the modelled conductors to determine whether they are related to nickel. Subsurface conductors can have several sources and it is up to the drill rig to reveal what we have in the ground. This is an exciting part of the exploration process and we look forward to updating the market as results become available.”
