Galileo Mining has announced geological results from the ongoing Reverse Circulation drilling program at the Callisto discovery within the Company's 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia. Four drill holes have been completed with each drill hole intersecting disseminated sulphide mineralisation geologically consistent with the first round of drilling. The first round of drilling showed the sulphide layer at the base of the layered ultramafic sill to be associated with palladium, platinum, gold, rhodium, nickel and copper Galileo's Managing Director Mr Brad Underwood said “Drilling at our Callisto discovery is continuing and we are very pleased to report that all drill holes completed to date have successfully hit more sulphide mineralisation. The results confirm the consistency of the geology over the target area and the drill samples have been sent to the laboratory for analysis. Drilling is ongoing with another 16 holes planned over the next three to four weeks. Additional Program of Work applications are awaiting approval with the Department of Mines which will allow further drilling along strike to the north. Presently we have shown mineralisation occurs over 250 metres across strike and, with five kilometres of prospective strike to the north, we have a lot more drilling to come.”Galileo Mining is focussed on the exploration and development of palladium, nickel, copper, and cobalt resources in Western Australia. GAL's tenements near Norseman are highly prospective for palladium-copper-nickel sulphide deposits as shown by the Callisto discovery. GAL also has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over tenements in the Fraser Range which are prospective for nickel-copper sulphide deposits similar to the operating Nova mine. GAL's Norseman Project contains a near surface laterite deposit with over 26,000 tonnes of contained cobalt, and 122,000 tonnes of contained nickel, in JORC compliant resources
