Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL, OTC:GLMGF) has commenced a new reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its 100%-owned Norseman project in WA, targeting multiple nickel and palladium targets.
The 2,500-metre RC drilling campaign at the South Callisto and North Callisto prospects is expected to take around three weeks to complete with assay results expected in December.
Drilling at the South Callisto target is designed to follow up on shallow results including 3 metres grading 0.92 g/t 2E, which comprises palladium and platinum, and 0.15% nickel from a depth of 6 metres, 48 metres at 0.27 g/t 2E and 0.24% nickel from surface.
The drill program at the North Callisto target is focused along strike of recent results, including 132 metres at 0.21 g/t 3E, which comprises palladium, platinum and gold, from 60 metres; and 62 metres at 0.22 g/t 3E from 136 metres.
Highly prospective underexplored province
Galileo managing director Brad Underwood said: “RC drilling at Norseman is underway again as we implement our strategy of regular campaign drilling targeting new discoveries in this highly prospective underexplored province.
“Our exploration strategy incorporates campaign drilling, review and interpretation of results, integration of new information with geophysical data, refinement of drill targets, and then follow-up drilling. We believe this cycle of exploration activity gives us the best opportunity of making further discoveries.
“South Callisto and North Callisto prospects both show signs of mineralisation from our earlier work and we look forward to the results of the current round of drilling.”
