Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) has received significant palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel assays from the first four RC drill holes of the second RC program at the Callisto discovery within the company’s 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia.
“The latest assays from our Callisto discovery demonstrate the extensive continuity of mineralisation intercepted,” Managing Director, Brad Underwood, said.
“We are very pleased to report significant thicknesses over 20 metres at the 1.0 g/t 3E cut-off grade and over 30 metres at the lower 0.5 g/t 3E cut-off.
“Most importantly, the mineralisation is open at the end of the 6,448,000 drill line where it starts to dip east, further onto our granted Mine Lease. NRC278 ended in mineralisation at this location and will be completed with a diamond drill rig, as will further step out holes to the east.
Higher palladium assays over 8 g/t add even more prospectivity to the Callisto area with the possibility of highgrade zones occurring within the mineralised system.
“The third round of RC drilling is scheduled to begin in late July with diamond drilling planned to start in August. With over five kilometres of prospective strike length at Callisto we have a lot more drilling to come.”
The latest assays include the highest grade palladium and platinum results recorded to date with 8.25 g/t Pd & 1.94 g/t Pt over one metre in NRC275,
The high-grade palladium and platinum results show potential for the occurrence of high-grade zones within the overall mineralised system,
Select samples are now being analysed for rhodium content, with assays expected in August.
