Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has commenced a RC exploration drill campaign at the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects within the company’s wholly-owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo’s managing director Brad Underwood commented, “We are excited to be drilling two prospects with such outstanding early-stage results. It is rare to see Air Core assay results from the near surface like those we have obtained at both the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects. Having made the Callisto discovery in 2022 we believe the opportunity for further success within our Norseman Project is striking. The outcome of the current drill program, and the work we have planned at Norseman over the coming months, could be very significant value drivers for Galileo.”
The 4,000m RC drill campaign is expected to take around one month to complete. The Mission Sill is a mafic-ultramafic intrusion with similar geology to the host rock at the Callisto discovery. The Mission Sill is located approximately 6km to the southeast of Callisto and has multiple anomalous drilling results over a 10km strike length.
The Jimberlana Dyke is an extensive east-west trending mafic-ultramafic dyke with anomalous drill results on both the northern and southern margins. Of note is an intersection on the northern margin at the bottom of an Air Core drill hole where geochemically anomalous sulphides were intersected. Strong EM conductors proximal to the anomalous drill intercept make this prospect a compelling target.
