Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has announced RC drilling north of the Callisto deposit has commenced at the company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia. Drill targets are based on follow up IP results from geophysical work at the Callisto North prospect which confirmed large and strong chargeable responses on lines 6,452,000 and 6,453,200.
Galileo managing director Brad Underwood commented; “Campaign drilling at our Norseman project is underway as we aim to make further discoveries in this new mineral province. The Callisto deposit is the first of its kind in the area and we believe the potential for additional mineralization is highly significant. The current targets are between one and 5km along strike from Callisto and each has a favourable geophysical signature prospective for sulphides. Our exploration strategy follows a cyclical pattern with campaign drilling, review and interpretation of results, integration of new information, and then follow up drilling.”
Additional surveying on infill line 6,449,100 identified a substantial IP anomaly just 1km north of the Callisto deposit. Data from this line clearly implies the rocks have been structurally modified and are dipping to the west at this location. By comparison the Callisto deposit is flat lying before dipping to the east.
“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 province.” Added Brad.
