Galileo Mining breaks trading halt with assay results
The market is bidding the Galileo Mining share price higher after the company exited a trading halt this morning on the release of assay results from the Callisto discovery.
Assays from six drill holes have confirmed the presence of palladium, platinum, gold, copper, and nickel in the area.
Galileo Mining managing director Brad Underwood commented:
The assays from all drill holes undertaken at Callisto contain significant zones of mineralisation and confirm initial results from the discovery drill hole …
Today's results are a very important step forward as we have now shown the sulphides are carrying high value metals in all six drill holes completed …
The extensive prospective strike, combined with the thick and consistent mineralisation drilled to date, indicates the potential for a large mineralised system.
The company will begin another round of reserve circulation drilling next week. That will see a further 20 drill holes undertaken, focusing on drilling across the strike to find the thickest, highest grades.
The program will focus on the area east of the six drill holes, labelled a priority target. It will also continue north.
The company is ultimately aiming to move the company's discovery drilling to advanced and detailed resource drilling.
Additionally, samples from the discovery's initial drill hole are still being tested for rhodium, osmium, ruthenium, and iridium.
Finding rhodium or other platinum group element metals could add significant prospectivity to the area.
