Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has commenced RC drilling at its wholly-owned Norseman project in Western Australia. The drilling targets three separate prospects: Callisto, North Callisto, and Jimberlana South, with a focus on nickel and palladium.
The planned drill programme spans 1,500m and is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. Assay results are anticipated in January. The drilling at Callisto is designed to test a geophysical induced polarization (IP) target adjacent to the Callisto deposit. The North Callisto drill programme is focused along the strike of recent results, including a significant find of 28m @0.18g/t 3E. The Jimberlana South drilling will follow up on drill assays of 28m @0.34g/t 3E, 0.20% Cu, and 0.14% Ni from 32m, including 8m @0.50g/t 3E, 0.29% Cu, and 0.19% Ni from 40m.
Brad Underwood, Galileo’s managing director, commented on the commencement of the drilling, “We have three advanced prospects ready for drilling and each has a chance of delivering significant results. Our exploration strategy follows a cyclical pattern with campaign drilling, review and interpretation of results, integration of new information, and then follow up drilling. We believe this cycle of exploration activity gives us the best opportunity of making further discoveries. We look forward to the results of the current round of drilling as we seek to unlock the potential of a newly discovered mineral district.”
