Zambia Drilling Cuts Wide Mineralised Breccia Zone
Galileo Resources plc ("Galileo "or the "Company") is pleased to
update shareholders regarding progress on the Phase 2 diamond
drilling programme to test multiple targets over the Shinganda
Project Copper-Gold Project, Zambia ("Project").
Highlights
-- The Shinganda drilling programme (see RNS of 20 September
2023) is progressing as planned, with seven holes completed to date
for 890m advance.
-- The most recent hole, SHDD017, sited less than 1km along
strike from the Shinganda copper-gold prospect drilled last year,
has intercepted an extensive interval of alteration and brecciation
with associated copper mineralisation within the Shinganda Fault
Splay system - see links to photos below.
-- The angled hole passed through a rock package with a wide
zone of hydrothermal alteration and brecciation, accompanied by
variable amounts of chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralisation over a
264.5m interval from 65.5m downhole depth.
-- Mineralisation, which generally occurs as clusters and
disseminations associated with brecciation and quartz-carbonate
veining, is confirmed by pXRF analysis - sampling for follow-up
laboratory assaying is in progress.
-- This hole represents the first Galileo hole designed to test
the IOCG deposit potential related to the Shinganda Fault Splay
system. Several follow-up holes are planned through the wide
mineralised zone, as well as further drilling to test the iron
alteration clusters and IP targets highlighted by a previous
geophysical study.
-- Several other short holes drilled as part of the current
programme to test outcropping supergene gossan occurrences
intersected shallow oxide mineralisation with anomalous copper
based on initial pXRF testing; split core samples are being
submitted for laboratory assay for copper, gold and
multi-elements.
Colin Bird Chairman and CEO said: "Hole SHDD017 is a
particularly impressive hole with an intercept length of more than
250m which was heavily brecciated and accompanied by copper
mineralisation throughout its' length, with values to be determined
by assay. The nature of the host environment is not typical for
traditional Copperbelt mineralisation which leads us to believe
that this could be a totally different style of mineralisation.
There is good district evidence for IOCG-type mineralisation and
we are targeting drilling with this model in mind. The next hole
will be sited 100m away to test for mineral style repetition and
continuity.
We will advise shareholders when we receive assays, together
with an update on the outcome of the upcoming borehole. "
