Company Update
Galileo (AIM:GLR), the exploration and development mining
company, announces that it has renewed the majority of its wholly
owned Nevada claims for a further 12 months.
Highlights
-- All but one small claim, the Sand Springs, have been renewed
and are in good standing until 31 August 2016
-- Internal review completed of the portfolio and exploration
programmes formulated - focus on Silverton
-- The Gabbs claims in southern Nevada host up to 4 million oz
of gold equivalent at cut-off 0.20 / 0.10 (oxide/non-oxide) Au g/t
(Ref. 1) and is open ended at depth and in all directions
-- Potential industry interest in most of the Nevada positions
-- The Silverton property presents a significant gold
exploration target around a recognised shear zone
-- Crow Springs locally recognised as a high prospective porphyry copper molybdenum target
-- The small Sand Springs claim dropped since it is close to a town and recreational area
-- Glenover option to Fer-Min-Ore to sell the Company's interest
in the JV extended until 28 February 2016
Colin Bird Chairman said:" Galileo has secured its US holdings
for a further year and I am convinced that our portfolio is well
above average with immediate exploration target abundant. The Gabbs
property, with its large defined resource, underpins our whole
Nevada position and we have significant trade interest in most of
our Nevada positions."
Current status after continuing research and field visits:
Silverton project Nye County/Nevada
The Silverton property hosts a major rock chip anomaly greater
than 100ppb measuring 2.5 km x 3 km.
A central shear zone identified to be at least 2 km long and 75m
wideis thought to be the dominant mineralising factor in the area.
There has been some drilling on the property but generally vertical
in orientation and has therefore failed to test the 75 m width
satisfactorily. Numerous gold intersections greater than 0.5 g/t
were obtained with several higher gold grade intersections namely
7.62 m @ 2.29 g/t (inlcluding 4.57 m @ 3.57g/t); 12.19m @ 0.97g/t
(including 6.10 m @ 2.01g/t) and 3.05m @ 0.94g/t (Ref.2) However
the previous drilling appears to have been random, not recognising
or testing the influence of the shear zone.
The Company intends to carry out a more carefully designed
programme to test the shear and influence on the nearby rhyolites.
The rhyolites returned occasional good drilling results although
random in nature and insufficient in number to allow for geological
modelling of the mineralisation trend.
Crow Springs Esmeralda County/Nevada
The property is situated along the eastern margin of the highly
prospective of the Walker Lane structural province. Limited
exploration is being carried out by other parties which have
identified a large, mineralised porphyry copper molybdenum system.
A full suite of copper minerals have been identified on surface
with only limited drilling which showed highly anomalous
molybdenum. It is thought that the porphyry copper system may be
peripheral to a more significant, concealed copper molybednum
porphyry and related skarn system. The Company intends to carry out
a broad based geochemical sampling programme on the property.
Ferber project Elko County/Nevada
The Ferber property is well situated on what is thought to be an
emerging mineralised trend similar to the Carlin trend. There is
considerable corporate interest in the property and Galileo has
maintained its position with a view to either joint venturing or
commencing an exploration programme on the north- eastern part of
the property, which has considerable large-scale skarn
potential.

Technical Glossary
Au- Gold
Epithermal - adjective describing deposits of minerals formed
from warm water at shallow depth
g/t - gram per tonne
Shear - geological shear is related to structural geology, rock
microstructure or rock texture associated with geologic fault
mechanics.
Rhyolite - an igneous, volcanic rock, of felsic (silica-rich)
composition (typically > 69% SiO(2)
Porphyry - Porphyry systems are mineralized deposits or ore
bodies that are formed from hydrothermal fluids that originate from
a voluminous magma (molten lava) chamber several kilometers below
the deposit itself
tonne - 1000 kilograms
