QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
Norseman - 100% GAL
- Significant exploration event during June Quarter 2022 with major palladium-platinum discovery at Norseman - the Callisto discovery
- Discovery drillhole (NRC266) returned significant palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel-rhodium mineralisation over 33 metres;
o 33 metres @ 2.05 g/t 4E (1) (1.64 g/t Pd, 0.28 g/t Pt, 0.09 g/t Au,
0.05 g/t Rh), 0.32% Cu & 0.30% Ni from 144m (NRC266) - All six RC drill holes completed at Callisto contained significant zones of mineralisation and confirm initial results from the discovery drill hole NRC266.
Subsequent events
- Second round of RC drilling at Callisto completed with 3,939m drilled over 16 drill holes and three pre-collars
- First four holes returned significant palladium-platinum-gold-copper- nickel assays
- Highest grade palladium and platinum assays recorded to date with 8.25 g/t Pd & 1.94 g/t Pt over one metre in NRC275
- Samples from reported intersections are now being analysed for rhodium content.
- 11 drill holes hit sulphide mineralisation with portable XRF analyses confirming the presence of nickel and copper sulphides. Assays expected in August
- Mineralised sulphide zone extends over 300m across strike on the southern and central lines, and over 200m across strike on the northern line
Fraser Range - 67% GAL / 33% Creasy Group JV
- EM surveying of recently acquired tenement along strike of sulphide mineralisation at the Lantern South prospect is continuing
- Infill EM surveying of highly conductive Green Moon prospect is planned to refine targets for drill testing
Corporate
- Highly experienced mining lawyer Cecilia Camarri joins the board as an Independent Non-Executive Director
- Well-fundedto continue exploration programs with approximately $7.0 million in cash as at 30 June 2022
Subsequent event
- Successful Placement raising $20.4 million (before costs) with cornerstone investments by major shareholders Mark Creasy and IGO
- Funds to be used for RC and diamond drill programs at Callisto and drilling at the highly prospective Mission Sill and Jimberlana palladium and nickel targets at Norseman

Commenting on the recent activities, Galileo Managing Director Brad Underwood said:
only"This has been a defining period in Galileo's short history with the discovery of the Callisto palladium-platinum-rhodium-gold-copper-nickel target at our wholly-owned Norseman project in Western Australia in May 2022.
Results of the first program at Callisto were remarkable, as all six RC drill holes contained significant zones of mineralisation with strong confirmation of the initial results from discovery drill hole NRC266.
We were quick to get back on site and start our second drill campaign to expand on the early results with drilling designed at a 50-metre spacing across strike and followed by drill lines along strike to the north.
Post quarter end, we reported assays from the first four RC drill holes of this second program at Callisto which demonstrated the extensive continuity of mineralisation intercepted with significant thicknesses over 20 metres
useat the 1.0 g/t 3E cut-off grade and over 30 metres at the lower 0.5 g/t 3E cut-off reported.
Most importantly, the mineralisation is open at the end of the 6,448,000-drill line where it starts to dip east, further onto our granted Mine Lease. NRC278 ended in mineralisation at this location and will be completed with a diamond drill rig, as will further step out holes to the east.
We plan to begin a third round of RC drilling in late July with diamond drilling scheduled to start in August.
With over five kilometres of strike length at the Callisto discovery, and highly prospective targets at the Jimberlana and Mission Sill prospects, the potential for additional mineralisation is very high.
personalOn the corporate front, we were very pleased with the strong market support for our $20.4 million placement with $8.7 million of the funds coming from our major shareholders, Mark Creasy and IGO. This funding now
llows us to aggressively explore this significant new palladium province within our Norseman Project area.
In addition, we welcomed highly experienced mining lawyer Cecilia Camarri to the board as an Independent Non-Executive Director. Cecilia's appointment will assist us with our aim to transition from exploration company to resource development company on the back of the Callisto discovery."
Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL, "Galileo" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of activities for the quarter ending 30th June 2022 from its Norseman palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel-rhodium project and Fraser Range nickel project in Western Australia.
Norseman (100% GAL)
During the quarter, Galileo reported the discovery of significant palladium-platinum-copper-nickel-sulphide at the Callisto target.1
Six holes for 1,142 metres were drilled at Callisto2. The target is a mineralised sulphide unit developed at the base of an ultramafic sill where it intrudes into a package of sedimentary rocks.
ForDrill holes from the initial campaign were completed on two east-west lines spaced 50 metres apart with a 50- metre drill spacing along the lines.
Each of the six drill holes intersected palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel sulphide intersections. Of the six holes, drill hole NRC266 recorded the widest interval of sulphide mineralisation with sulphide abundance increasing to the east in the drilling.
Interpretation of results from Callisto have shown similarities with South Africa's Platreef deposits with disseminated sulphide mineralisation hosted in the lower unit of a layered ultramafic sill.
Drill assays from NRC266 were analysed to include the presence of rhodium in addition to palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel.3 These metals also occur in the Platreef deposits in a similar disseminated mineralisation

Galileo reported each of the first four drill holes of the 20-hole program5 had intersected disseminated sulphide mineralisation geologically consistent with the first round of drilling. The first round of drilling showed that the sulphide layer at the base of the layered ultramafic sill was associated with palladium, platinum, gold, rhodium, nickel and copper.

This included the highest-grade palladium and platinum assays recorded to date of 8.25 g/t Pd & 1.94 g/t Pt over one metre in NRC275 which add even more prospectivity to the Callisto area with the possibility of high- grade zones occurring within the mineralised system.
The Company reported significant thicknesses over 20 metres at the 1.0 g/t 3E cut-off grade and over 30 metres at the lower 0.5 g/t 3E cut-off.
Mineralisation is open in all directions and now extends over 300 metres across strike on section 6,448,000N.
