Galileo’s Director Resignation and Drilling Results Raise Questions on Future Strategy
Galileo Mining’s latest drilling at Norseman confirms significant palladium, platinum, and gold mineralisation over a 10km strike, underpinning plans for follow-up resource testing. The company remains well-capitalised to advance exploration.
- 4,300m aircore drilling reveals continuous PGE anomalism at Mission Sill prospect
- High-grade intersections include 4.78 g/t combined palladium-platinum-gold over 4m
- Follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling planned to test bedrock mineralisation
- Strong cash position of approximately $8.75 million to fund ongoing exploration
- Non-Executive Director Cecilia Camarri resigns; no immediate replacement planned
Exploration Momentum at Norseman
Galileo Mining has reported encouraging progress from its September 2025 quarter activities, highlighted by a substantial aircore drilling campaign at the Mission Sill prospect within its wholly owned Norseman project in Western Australia. The 4,300-metre program, comprising 149 drill holes, has delineated a continuous 10-kilometre zone of anomalous palladium, platinum, and gold mineralisation along the Eastern Contact Zone of the sill complex.
Notably, assays returned high-grade intervals such as 4 metres at 4.78 grams per tonne combined palladium, platinum, and gold (3E), including 3.46 g/t gold, underscoring the precious metals potential of the region. These results build on earlier discoveries, including peak palladium assays exceeding 4 g/t and platinum over 2.5 g/t, reinforcing the scale and robustness of this emerging mineral system.
Strategic Follow-Up and Funding
With these promising results, Galileo is preparing for a follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling program aimed at testing for bedrock mineralisation beneath the anomalous zones identified by aircore drilling. This next phase is critical to defining the extent and economic viability of the mineralised sills, with initial RC holes designed to pinpoint the ultramafic-mafic contacts where mineralisation is expected to concentrate.
Financially, the company remains in a strong position, holding approximately $8.75 million in cash as of 30 September 2025, ensuring it is well-funded to execute its exploration plans without immediate capital raising. This financial strength provides a solid foundation for advancing the Norseman project and other assets.
Corporate and Regional Exploration Updates
On the corporate front, Galileo announced the resignation of Non-Executive Director Cecilia Camarri, with no plans to appoint a replacement in the near term. Meanwhile, exploration efforts continue at the Fraser Range joint venture, where data interpretation from recent drilling and geophysical surveys is underway to guide future work programs.
The Callisto deposit remains a cornerstone asset for Galileo, with a maiden mineral resource estimate confirming significant palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, and copper content. The company’s focus on this deposit and surrounding prospects like Mission Sill positions it as one of the few Australian explorers with a meaningful palladium-platinum resource.
Looking Ahead
Galileo’s Managing Director Brad Underwood emphasised the potential for multiple mineralised intrusions within the Mission Sill structure, drawing parallels to the Callisto deposit’s style. The upcoming RC drilling campaign will be pivotal in testing these targets and expanding the understanding of this promising PGE province.
Bottom Line?
As Galileo gears up for its next drilling phase, the market will be watching closely to see if the Mission Sill prospect can deliver the scale of discovery needed to elevate the Norseman project’s profile.
Questions in the middle?
- Will the upcoming RC drilling confirm economically viable bedrock mineralisation at Mission Sill?
- How will the resignation of a Non-Executive Director affect Galileo’s governance and strategic direction?
- What insights will the Fraser Range JV data interpretation yield for future exploration targets?
