On Monday, GAL announced that it had started a 1,000m RC drilling program to test three new EM targets as well as re-test two targets in an area that was previously tested with shallow aircore drilling.

In its last round of drilling in ~2018, GAL hit 36 metres @ 0.2% nickel from 18m including a higher grade section of 3 metres @ 0.56 % nickel from 24m during a shallow aircore drilling program where the average depth in each hole was ~41m.

Rarely are nickel sulphide deposits found at that depth and with the nickel price trading at 10 year highs we think GAL is taking shots on goal at the right time in search of a large scale nickel discovery in the Fraser Range region.

Whilst we wait for the assays from ~8,700m aircore drilling program from its norseman project, we will be watching to see if GAL makes any visible sulphide intercepts from this RC drilling program.
