Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, “Galileo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce RC drilling has commenced at the Company’s highly prospective nickel targets within the Fraser Range Nickel Belt in Western Australia.
Highlights:
- Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program has commenced at the highly prospective Lantern nickel project in the Fraser Range
- Diamond core drilling to follow in August after completion of RC drilling
- Multiple nickel targets adjacent to the previously reported sulphide mineralisation at Lantern South (LARC003);
- 5m @ 0.49% Ni & 0.46% Cu from 126 metres down hole, including
- 1m @ 0.66% Ni & 0.75% Cu from 127m 1
- Approximately 1,500 metres of RC drilling is planned with initial laboratory assays expected within two weeks of finishing drilling
Commenting on the drilling program Galileo Mining Managing Director Brad Underwood said:
“Our first ever RC drilling program at the Lantern Prospect was completed in March this year. Results from that program demonstrated that the area contains disseminated nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation.
In our second program of RC drilling we will be targeting additional zones of mineralisation and laying the foundation for diamond core drilling to follow in August. There are three high priority zones to be tested and we look forward to updating the market as results are received from this promising Fraser Range nickel project.”
