Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has announced exploration results from RC drilling at the Jimberlana prospect within the company’s wholly-owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
According to the company, the drilling intercepted nickel and copper sulphides. The sulphides were found in shallow sulphide lenses that began at roughly 59m below the surface. The best result came from a 1m @0.83% Ni, 0.36% Cu and 0.07% Co from 74m below (NRC456). A broader interval of the drilling covering 7m @0.22% Ni, 0.13% Cu, and 0.02% Co from 68m below (NRC456).
The company has also stated that the nickel sulphides on the prospect are situated on the southern side and remain open at depth and along the strike. To follow up on these promising results, the company will begin systematic exploration in areas north of the Callisto discovery, starting in late August.
Galileo’s managing director Brad Underwood commented; “Finding nickel sulphides in the first RC drill programme at a new prospect is a very encouraging sign. This result illustrates the fundamental potential of our Norseman prospects, not only for nickel-palladium discoveries such as Callisto, but for high value nickel sulphide deposits. Our next drill programme is scheduled to begin in late August where we will follow up our early results from the Jimberlana area. This drill campaign will also begin the systematic exploration of the 5km of prospective ground to the north of the Callisto discovery.”
