Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has announced new assay results from historic drill samples within the company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
The RC drill holes were originally drilled in 2018 and targeted near surface cobalt mineralization. The company has now re-assayed the samples for PGE (platinum group elements) in light of the Callisto palladium and nickel discovery in 2022.
Highlights include multiple shallow RC drill results in weathered regolith including:
- 3m @ 0.92g/t 2E2 (palladium + platinum) and 0.15% Ni from 6m (NRC116)
- 6m @ 0.66 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum) and 0.14% Ni from surface (NRC117) within broader interval of
- 48m @ 0.27 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum) and 0.24% Ni from surface
- 12 metres @ 0.62 g/t 2E (palladium + platinum) and 0.18% Ni from surface (NRC126)
Further, palladium and nickel anomalies match the outline of a large, interpreted intrusion. The company has planned first pass RC drilling in early November 2023, with an additional 4km of strike has been identified as prospective for Callisto style palladium and nickel discoveries in an emerging new mineralized province.
Current drill programme is continuing at North Callisto and Jimberlana prospects with assay results expected in October Galileo Mining Ltd is pleased to announce new assay results from historic drill samples within the company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
The RC drill holes were originally drilled in 2018 and targeted near surface cobalt mineralization, which have now been re-assayed for PGE considering the Callisto palladium and nickel discovery in 2022.
Galileo’s managing director Brad Underwood commented; “Since the discovery of the nickel-palladium mineralization at Callisto we have been actively reviewing our entire project area to understand the potential of the region. In addition to the 5km of strike length to the north of Callisto. We have now identified a further 4km of strike length to the south. This new prospectivity is shown by anomalous palladium, platinum and nickel in 2018 drilling that was previously unrecognized. The magnetic data also shows an intrusive rock unit that matches the drill assays. First pass RC drilling at South Callisto is planned to commence in early November.”
