RNS Number : 0971K Galileo Resources PLC 04 December 2025
4 December 2025
Galileo Resources Plc
("Galileo" or the "Company")
Exploration Update from Ferber Property, Nevada
Galileo Resources Plc ("Galileo") is pleased to report completion of the
planned Phase 1 exploration programme aimed at delineating priority drill
targets at its' 100% owned Ferber Property ("the Property") under the terms of
a Royalty and Exploration Agreement with Bronco Creek Exploration Inc.
("BCE"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elemental Royalty Corporation (TSX-V:
ELE, NASDAQ: ELE).
Highlights
· Work completed as part of the Phase 1 Target Generation programme
include:
o Mapping over a total area of approximately 70km(2), with collection of 109
rock grab samples for assay.
o Following discovery of mineralised workings and bedrock alteration west of
the existing claim holding, a further 89 claims were staked to extend the
property.
o Soil sampling programme carried out traversing the property - analytical
results to be collated.
o Completion of a ground gravity survey highlighting major structures and
potential drill targets.
· Further historic data was obtained, including full airborne and
ground magnetic coverage, IP survey results and additional drill data.
· New data generated by the Phase 1 Galileo/BCE work will be integrated
with the historic exploration information and modelled to develop Phase 2
priority Reconnaissance Drilling targets in line with the agreement between
the companies.
· Once Phase 1 data integration is completed BCE will provide Galileo
with a final data compilation and a Targeting Report and in return Galileo
will grant a 0.33% perpetual NSR Royalty.
· The Phase 2 Reconnaissance Drilling program is anticipated in the
first half of 2026, as soon as weather, permitting, and drill availability
allow.
Colin Bird Chairman & CEO said: "We are very pleased with the results of
the field work carried out under our agreement with BCE. Exploration has
extended the target area, encompassing some 10km of strike extent, with
additional results to come. We are working towards identification of initial
reconnaissance drill targets and shareholders will be kept up to date as the
project advances further."
Galileo/BCE Royalty and Exploration Agreement Summary
Please refer to RNS dated 13 May 2025
Ferber Project Background
The Property, located 40 kilometres south of Wendover in Elko County, Nevada,
comprises a series of patented and unpatented claims covering an area of about
30 square kilometres.
The Ferber District consists of a multi-phase Eocene igneous complex intruding
Pennsylvania-Permian age carbonates. The limestone units are domed around the
intrusive. Marble and skarn are developed at the margin of the intrusive
complex. The sedimentary and intrusive rock is cut by faults of various
orientations. Polymetallic mineralisation occurs as contact skarn and
replacement in limestone and the intrusive. Possible structurally controlled
sediment hosted gold deposits are present, as well as a porphyry base
metals/gold target.
Copper-lead-silver-gold deposits were discovered in the area in the 1880s. Ore
was shipped from the Martha Washington, Big Chief, Regent and other small
mines intermittently over the years. Limited production figures for the mines
list 97,878 pounds copper, 192,613 pounds lead, 11,851 ounces silver. Cordex
Exploration, Royal Gold and FMC Corporation have conducted exploration in the
area since 1980s-1990s.
Numerous surface samples have been collected during historic exploration along
with limited, mostly shallow, drilling. Reported drill intercepts include
2.37g/t Au over 4.6m and 0.59g/t Au over 10.7m as well as 0.83% Cu over 12.0m.
Individual grab samples collected by Galileo from old workings and dumps have
ranged up to 10.8g/t Au, 674g/t Ag, 4.19% Cu, 8.71% Pb and 7.62% Zn. In
addition, assaying for a limited range of other elements has shown anomalous
levels of bismuth and arsenic which are on the US list of critical minerals.
