Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has announced exploration results from RC drilling at what’s known as the Jimberlana prospect within the company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
Galileo’s managing director Brad Underwood commented; “The first assays from our most recent exploration drilling programme have painted a very positive picture of the Jimberlana prospect. We have identified a significant sulphide zone on the margin of an ultramafic rock unit which is open down dip and along strike in all directions.”
The first assays from recent RC drilling at the Jimberlana prospect show elevated metals in a newly discovered sulphide zone.
The drill intersection includes an 11m zone starting from a shallow depth of approximately 53m below surface;
- 11m @ 0.21 g/t 3E, 0.18% Cu, 0.13% Ni, and 0.03% Co from 61m downhole (NRC432) including;
- 1m @ 0.68 g/t 3E, 0.52% Cu, 0.44% Ni, and 0.08% Co from 68m
Adjacent drill hole also shows anomalous sulphides with;
- 13m @ 0.14 g/t 3E, 0.08% Cu, 0.07% Ni and 0.01% Co from 71m (NRC443)
Additionally, a new sulphide zone is on the northern side of the Jimberlana prospect and is completely open at depth and along strike. Drill assays from the southern side of the Jimberlana prospect and the Mission Sill prospect are expected in August and follow up drilling is planned to begin after receipt of all assays.
“This is an excellent geological location for the potential discovery of economic mineralization and follow up drill holes are now being planned. The results from Jimberlana are a great start to the numerous untested prospects at Norseman following our Callisto discovery last year. We are well funded to undertake our upcoming drill programmes and hope to deliver more discoveries over the coming months.” Added Brad.
