Galileo Mining Joins Chalice in Exciting Metal Discovery in Western Australia
Galileo Mining (ASX:GAL) has joined Chalice Mining (ASX:CHN) in outlining a new style of metal deposit in Western Australia, featuring areas of mineralisation with a significant presence of precious industrial metals such as palladium and platinum, along with gold, copper, and nickel.
伽利略礦業（澳大利亞證券交易所股票代碼：GAL）與Chalice Mining（澳大利亞證券交易所股票代碼：CHN）一起概述了西澳大利亞州一種新型的金屬礦牀，該礦牀的特點是礦化區域，其中大量存在鈀金和鉑金等貴工業金屬，以及金、銅和鎳。
Although Callisto is smaller in scale compared to Chalice's Gonneville find, Galileo expresses confidence in discovering similar deposits in and around the Norseman area of Western Australia.
儘管與查利斯在岡納維爾的發現相比，卡利斯托的規模較小，但伽利略表示有信心在西澳大利亞州的諾斯曼地區及其周邊地區發現類似的礦牀。
In a filing with the ASX on Monday, the company shared its initial estimate of the size of the Callisto PGE-nickel-copper deposit near Norseman in the Western Australian gold fields.
在週一向澳大利亞證券交易所提交的文件中，該公司分享了其對西澳大利亞金礦Norseman附近的Callisto Pge-Nickel-Copper礦牀規模的初步估計。
The company stated on Monday that "the Callisto discovery is the first deposit of its type identified in Australia and is analogous in mineralisation style to the Platreef deposits found in South Africa." This news led to a 17% surge in the company's shares during the first hour of trading on a quiet holiday Monday in some states.
該公司週一表示：“Callisto的發現是澳大利亞發現的第一個同類礦牀，在礦化風格上類似於在南非發現的Platreef礦牀。”這一消息導致該公司的股價在週一某些州平靜的假日交易的第一個小時內上漲了17％。
The company is primarily owned by billionaire prospector Mark Creasy, who holds a 24.6% stake, while IGO holds an 8.9% stake. Creasy also owns a 9.6% stake in IGO. Galileo's market value stands at just over $68 million, in stark contrast to the nearly $12 billion IGO.
該公司主要由億萬富翁探礦者馬克·克雷西擁有，他持有24.6％的股份，而IGO持有8.9％的股份。Creasy還擁有IGO9.6％的股份。伽利略的市值剛剛超過6800萬美元，與近120億美元的IGO形成鮮明對比。
Galileo reported that Callisto has a "maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 17.5 million tonnes @ 1.04g/t 4E (4E = Palladium (Pd) + Platinum (Pt) + Gold (Au) + Rhodium (Rh)), 0.20% Ni (nickel), 0.16% Cu (copper) at a 2.3 grams to the tonne palladium equivalent (which is a way of estimating the contained metals in the deposit in terms of the dominant mineral, in this case palladium)."
伽利略報告說，Callisto的 “首次指示和推斷的礦產資源估計值爲1,750萬噸 @ 1.04g/t 4E（4E = 鈀金（Pd）+ 鉑（Pt）+ 金（Au）+ 銠（Rh）），0.20％的鎳（鎳），0.16％的銅（銅），相當於噸鈀當量2.3克（這是一種估算方法就占主導地位的礦物而言，礦牀中含有金屬，在本例中爲鈀金）。”
Based on this estimate, the initial calculation for contained metals is 585,000 ounces of 4E (Palladium (Pd) + Platinum (Pt) + Gold (Au) + Rhodium (Rh)), 35,000 tonnes of nickel, and 28,000 tonnes of copper.
根據這一估計，所含金屬的初步計算爲58.5萬盎司的4E（鈀金（Pd）+ 鉑（Pt）+ 金（Au）+ Rhodium（Rh））、35,000噸鎳和28,000噸銅。
The nature of the Callisto deposit differs significantly from the massive mineralisation at Gonneville, Chalice's first discovery at its Julimar prospect northeast of Perth. Gonneville surpasses Callisto in terms of resource size and contained metals and also includes cobalt, which Callisto lacks, but it features the rare rhodium.
Callisto礦牀的性質與Gonneville的大量礦化有很大不同，Gonneville是Chalice在珀斯東北部的Julimar勘探區首次發現的。Gonneville在資源規模和所含金屬方面超過了卡利斯托，還包括了卡利斯托所缺乏的鈷，但它含有稀有的銠。
Nevertheless, the company believes it can expand this discovery and find similar instances of mineralisation in and around the Callisto find.
儘管如此，該公司認爲它可以擴大這一發現，並在Callisto發現中及其周圍發現類似的礦化實例。
Galileo CEO Brad Underwood stated in the ASX filing that "the discovery of the Callisto deposit has been a major breakthrough in understanding the geology and prospectivity at our Norseman project."
伽利略首席執行官布拉德·安德伍德在澳大利亞證券交易所的文件中表示：“卡利斯托礦牀的發現是了解我們諾斯曼項目的地質和前景方面的重大突破。”
"We have now defined a significant resource from a total of 147 drill holes (38,695m) within an established mining district of Western Australia. The discovery occurs on a granted Mining Lease just 15 km from the town of Norseman and with extensive nearby infrastructure, including a gas pipeline, water pipeline, railway, and sealed highway.
“我們現在已經從西澳大利亞州一個成熟的礦區內總共147個鑽孔（38,695米）中確定了大量資源。該發現是在距離諾斯曼鎮僅15公里的已批准的採礦租約中發現的，附近有廣泛的基礎設施，包括天然氣管道、供水管道、鐵路和封閉的高速公路。
"The nature of the mineralisation at Callisto is analogous to the Platreef deposits in South Africa, where several deposits occur over a strike length of tens of kilometers. Applying this knowledge, we will broaden our search for more discoveries, starting with the prospective areas at our North and South Callisto prospects.
“Callisto礦化的性質類似於南非的Platreef礦牀，那裏有幾個礦牀分佈在數十公里的走向長度內。運用這些知識，我們將擴大對更多發現的搜索範圍，首先是我們北卡利斯托和南卡利斯托潛在地區的潛在區域。
"Ultimately, we believe this search space will encompass the full 20 km of the prospective host rocks at the Callisto trend and the further 12 km of prospective strike length at the Mission Sill prospect, where similar geology has been intersected in drilling."
“最終，我們認爲，這個搜索空間將涵蓋卡利斯托趨勢處的整整20千米潛在主巖，以及Mission Sill勘探區另外12公里的潛在走向長度，鑽探中也存在類似的地質情況。”
