Galileo (GAL) hit promising first pass nickel and copper at Jimberlana
Galileo Mining has hit nickel and copper sulphides on its first RC drill program at its Jimberlana South prospect in Norseman.
The promising shallow indications include 1 metre @ 0.83% Ni, 0.36% Cu and 0.07% Co from 74m.
Sulphide zones with anomalous nickel and copper were also found within the sediment/basalt.
The modelled EM conductor is located at the boundary between the target rock and the sediment and basalts.
The find has fuelled anticipation of the next drill program beginning in late August to explore five kilometres of prospective ground north of the Callisto discovery.
“Finding nickel sulphides in the first RC drill program at a new prospect is encouraging. This result illustrates the fundamental potential of our Norseman prospects, not only for nickel-palladium discoveries such as Callisto, but for high-value nickel sulphide deposits,” Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said.
“Additionally the Sulphide zones with anomalous nickel and copper occur within the sediment/basalt and these are also interpreted to be related to the emplacement of the mafic-ultramafic Jimberlana Dyke. The modelled EM conductor is located at the boundary between the target rock and the sediment and basalts.
“We are well funded to undertake our drill programs and look forward to the drill results from this emerging nickel-palladium district.
