Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has announced exploration results from RC drilling at the Jimberlana South and North Callisto prospects within the company’s wholly-owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo’s managing director Brad Underwood commented; “Assay results from our September drill campaign show we are advancing strongly with our systematic exploration programmes aimed at unlocking the value in our Norseman project. Having made the greenfields Callisto discovery in 2022, we believe the potential of further exploration success in this underexplored province is high. Our current strategy involves campaign exploration drilling, review and interpretation of results, integration of new information with geophysical data, refinement of drill targets, and then follow up exploration drilling.”
Highlights from the results include a new near surface target zone identified at Jimberlana South prospect with:
- 52m @0.29g/t 3E1, 0.15% Cu, and 0.12% Ni from 8m (NRC476)
- 28m @0.34g/t 3E, 0.20% Cu, and 0.14% Ni from 32m within fresh rock sulphide zone
- 8m @0.50g/t 3E, 0.29% Cu, and 0.19% Ni from 40m
Additionally, first pass drilling at North Callisto prospect has revealed new prospective trends with wide zones of anomalous palladium and platinum, results included:
- 132m @0.21g/t 3E from 60m (NRC463)
- 62m @0.22g/t 3E from 136m (NRC470)
- 100 @0.19g/t 3E from 56m (NRC466)
- 28m @0.18g/t 3E from 120m (NRC472)
The next round of drilling is due to start this week, with first pass drilling at the South Callisto prospect and new drilling at North Callisto. The company has planned follow up RC drilling at its Jimberlana South prospect to begin in late November. Finally, regional geophysical IP surveying has been designed to generate new drill targets is scheduled to commence in late October.
“We believe this cycle of exploration activity will provide us the greatest opportunity for additional discoveries. Our next drill programme is scheduled to begin this week where we will undertake first pass drilling at the South Callisto prospect and more drilling at the North Callisto prospect. Follow up drilling at the Jimberlana South prospect is scheduled in the following round of drilling expected to commence in late November. We are well funded to undertake our drill programmes and look forward to the drill results from this new mineralized district.” Added Brad.
