GAL today announced that it has received further positive palladium and platinum assay results from aircore drilling at its Norseman Project in WA.

Six out of seven holes drilled on a single line returned significant results with maximum grades of four metres at 0.69 g/t 2E (palladium plus platinum). The location of the aircore results extends the known strike length of anomalous palladium and platinum to over eight kilometres.

At the very beginning of the air core drilling program GAL hit a 1m massive sulphide intercept and then after running EM surveys in the area found that the intercept sat right in the middle of two large EM conductors.

The primary reason for air core drilling was to set up new drill targets that could be followed up with RC drilling. These results have now identified a new target for follow up RC drill programs, with the aim of locating potentially economic mineralisation.

With GAL confirming PGE’s across a ~8km of potential strike length and the high priority EM targets (Jimberlana) found, we think the air core drilling program has been relatively successful and are looking forward to seeing the follow up drilling across GAL’s Norseman project.

The current and planned drilling sees GAL meet the third objective that we set for it in our 2022 GAL Investment Memo.

While progressing its palladium exploration program, GAL is also working to meet the first two objectives that we identified for the year relating to its Fraser Range nickel project. Having undertaken its first drill program of the year at the Fraser Range project, GAL confirmed that it plans to increase its activities here and continue to develop more targets for drill testing during the year.
