Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL, OTC:GLMGF) is undertaking geophysical fieldwork along strike from the Callisto discovery at its 100%-owned Norseman Project in Western Australia.
The company has initiated a high-powered induced polarisation (IP) geophysical survey over the promising Callisto horizon.
This program aims to unlock valuable insights into concealed disseminated sulphide deposits akin to the Callisto nickel-palladium deposit.
Timely data collection
The initial phase of the survey is expected to be completed in just five weeks. This rapid data collection and interpretation process will provide early indications of the region's geological characteristics and mineralisation potential.
IP geophysics will play a crucial role in identifying concealed mineral deposits beneath the earth's surface. The application of IP geophysics is particularly relevant to the Callisto area, known for its nickel-palladium deposits.
Galileo has plans to extend IP surveying within the 20-kilometre Callisto trend and the 12-kilometre-long Mission Sill prospect.
This expansion underscores the company's commitment to comprehensive exploration in the region.
By targeting the Callisto horizon, the company aims to build on the success of the Callisto nickel-palladium deposit and potentially uncover new mineral resources within the Norseman project.
Good quality targets
“We are very pleased to have started IP surveying at our Norseman project as it gives us the opportunity to identify new areas of mineralisation within the 20 kilometres of prospective ground around the Callisto discovery,” Galileo managing director Brad Underwood said.
“IP geophysical surveying is known for the detection of buried disseminated sulphide mineralisation and we are aiming to locate good quality targets for drill testing.
“The Callisto deposit is a large intrusion within an extensive mafic-ultramafic sill complex. We believe the opportunities for additional mineralised intrusions within the Callisto belt and the adjacent Mission Sill prospect are significant.
“Initial results from the first round of IP surveying are expected in four to five weeks with further surveying planned in the first quarter of 2024.
“Samples from the recent RC drilling at North and South Callisto are currently at the laboratory with assays expected in December. We are excited to be exploring in this newly discovered mineralised belt and look forward to the results from our ongoing exploration programs.”
