Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL, OTC:GLMGF) managing director Brad Underwood sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss a 3,000-metre RC drilling program north of the Callisto deposit at its Norseman Project in Western Australia. The five-week campaign targets nickel and palladium within one to five kilometres from the 17.5 million tonnes Callisto resource. The drilling aims to explore chargeable geophysical anomalies identified along the strike from Callisto, with first assay results anticipated in June.
Underwood states that the drilling is part of an ongoing exploration strategy designed to uncover additional mineralisation in this newly identified mineral province. The exploration cycle includes drilling, data review and integration, followed by subsequent drilling phases, which are crucial for discovering new deposits.
The current drill targets were selected based on Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey results. These results highlighted significant chargeable anomalies, particularly at lines 6,452,000 and 6,453,200. An additional survey on infill line 6,449,100, just one kilometre north of Callisto, revealed a substantial IP anomaly. The geological data suggests that the rock formations in this area have structural changes and exhibit a westward dip, which contrasts with the orientation of the Callisto deposit.
