About Galileo
The exploration of palladium, nickel, copper, and cobalt deposits in Western Australia are the main priorities of Galileo Mining Ltd. The Callisto discovery demonstrated the strong prospectivity of GAL's tenements near Norseman for palladium-copper-nickel sulphide deposits. Additionally, GAL and the Creasy Group have joint ventures over tenements in the Fraser Range that have the potential to contain nickel-copper sulphide deposits comparable to those found at the active Nova mine. In JORC-compliant resources, the Norseman Project of GAL has a near-surface laterite deposit with around 26,000 tonnes of cobalt and 122,000 tonnes of nickel.
