Galileo Mining Ltd. announce assays from recent drilling at the Callisto palladium-nickel discovery within the Company's 100% owned Norseman project in Western Australia. Drill hole NRCD394 has intersected a 72 metre zone of disseminated sulphide mineralisation on the northern most drill line completed to date. This new discovery strengthens Galileo's geological interpretation that the source of the mineralisation, originally discovered to the west, is related to the much larger mafic-ultramafic sill complex that dominates the geology of the area.

The priority target zone to the north and east of NRCD394 matches the interpreted core of the host intrusive sill complex which can be traced in the magnetic data for five kilometres to the north. Drilling over the coming months is designed to test how extensive mineralisation is within this prospective stratigraphy. Southern step out drill hole NRCD406 had no significant intersection (NSI) and again confirms Galileo's interpretation that the most prospective ground is to the north.

Current drill hole NRDD420 is drilling due west and is planned to finish on the same section as NRCD394. This will provide a basis for interpretation of the geometry of mineralisation from geochemical and geological data. A paucity of meaningful down hole structural measurements through the ultramafic stratigraphy means that exploration targeting is being driven by geological and geochemical interpretation.

Having completed the initial drilling post discovery at a 50-metre spacing, Galileo is now undertaking step out drilling up to 200 metres from existing drilling with the intention of rapidly defining the footprint of mineralisation at Callisto over the coming months. Logging and interpretation of drill core indicates that Callisto is a separate mineralised sill, with multiple sulphide mineralised zones, that has intruded a pre-existing mafic-ultramafic sill complex. The host sill complex has a strong magnetic signature which trends north-northeast and outcrops over a five-kilometre strike to the north.

Callisto is a blind undercover discovery with strong potential for additional mineralised intrusions occurring within the five-kilometre prospective horizon to the north. Drilling at Callisto is focussed on determining the size and grade of the sulphide zones, understanding the relationship with the much larger host sill, and looking for a possible source of the discovery to the east and north along strike.
