**Galileo Resources PLC (AIM: GLR)** has announced the appointment of a contractor for its Phase 3 drill program at the Shinganda project in Zambia.

This reverse circulation drilling initiative will focus on a 10km stretch of copper and silver mineral-bearing fault structures identified in earlier explorations.

**Highlights**

·     The planned Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme will focus on delineating further shallow, open-pittable copper-gold mineralisation along a combined strike length of about 10km on the Shinganda Main Fault and Splay structures 

·     The programme objective is to define a substantial resource of supergene mineralisation ranging up to 2% CuEq grade at shallow depths, following on from previous drill intercepts, such as 50.3m @ 1.77% CuEq from 21m depth in Galileo hole SDDD002 and 17m @ 2.00% CuEq from 7m depth in historic Vale hole DH0004.

·     Drilling profiles have been selected based on the recommendations of a recently completed geophysical modelling study on the airborne magnetic data as well as knowledge gained from the earlier drill phases.

·     Drilling is scheduled to commence about mid-August 2024, with an initial programme of up to 30 holes for 2,400m and possible additional meterage to be determined by the results of the Phase 3 programme.

Galileo aims to further delineate shallow, open-pittable copper-gold mineralisation along this strike.

The specific goal is to define a significant resource of supergene mineralisation, with grades reaching up to 2% copper equivalent at shallow depths, building on the results of previous drill intercepts.

Drilling is set to begin around mid-August 2024, with an initial plan of up to 30 holes covering 2,400 meters. Additional drilling may be conducted based on the results of the Phase 3 program.

**Colin Bird, executive chairman, stated:** “The Shinganda exploration area has met all our expectations and continues to offer a variety of mineral styles to explore.

“However, we have focused on zones of well-defined, structurally controlled copper-gold bearing iron carbonate alteration near the surface with significant strike potential.

“We expect the drill program to commence shortly, and we are enthusiastic about the specific concession target and the overall licence area.”
