Rooster Talk Episode 50 with Brad Underwood, Managing Director of Galileo Mining Limited (ASX: GAL) says the company is not shying away from exploration.
A systematic approach is now testing their palladium prospect in Norseman, Western Australia.
Over time I have encouraged investors in the Australian Stock Exchange or ASX Limited (ASX: ASX) who are looking for a company that actually spends the majority of their funds on good exploration, to look at Galileo Mining Limited (ASX: GAL).
Since early 2018, when the company listed on the ASX, they have undergone 14 drill programs.
Brad Underwood, Chair and Managing Director of Galileo Mining Limited (ASX: GAL), shares with us the technical merits of their projects in today's Rooster Talk. This episode talks about the exploration thinking behind the drilling in Norseman where Galileo is seeking a potential Ni-Cu-PGE target.
The 10,000m drilling program has started and the targets are starting to look interesting as the geophysical anomalies appear to be guiding towards a possible source. The Jimberlana dyke in Norseman has always been a potential exploration target but has largely being ignored in the company's tenure.

About Galileo Mining Limited (ASX:GAL)
Galileo Mining is a resources company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the code GAL and is exploring for base metals in south-east Western Australia. The company has 100% ownership of its Norseman Project and has Joint Ventures with the Creasy Group over highly prospective tenements in the Fraser Range.
The Norseman Project is located adjacent to the regional town of Norseman in an infrastructure-rich area of Western Australia. A bitumen highway runs parallel to the project area and is less than 10km from the Company’s current JORC cobalt-nickel resources. The Norseman Project includes numerous areas with potential for further cobalt discoveries as well as additional nickel and copper prospects.
The Fraser Range Project covers two zones of the extensive Fraser Range geological belt. The Fraser Range is known for the world-class Nova nickel-copper-cobalt mine discovered by Sirius Resources in 2012. Galileo’s northern Fraser Range tenement is 80km from the operating Nova mine while the southern tenements are just 30km from the mine.
Galileo is targeting Nova style nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation in the Fraser Range and has a deep level of experience in the region.
The company was originally privately owned by renowned prospector Mr. Mark Creasy, and Galileo Managing Director Mr. Brad Underwood spent eight years as General Manager of the Creasy Group’s exploration at the Fraser Range and Norseman.
Galileo Mining listed on the ASX in May 2018, raising $15 million in IPO funding.
Mr. Creasy continues to be the largest shareholder, controlling approximately 31 percent of the company. ASX-listed miner Independence Group (ASX: IGO) and Mineral Resources’ founder Chris Ellison are included within the Company’s top five largest shareholders.
