Galileo Resources PLC - Mining company focused on Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and the US - Says phase two drilling programme at Shinganda copper-gold project in Zambia is progressing as planned with seven holes completed to date. Says most recent hole SHDD017 has intercepted an ‘extensive interval of alteration and brecciation with associated copper mineralisation within the Shinganda fault splay system.’ Confirms mineralisation and says sampling for follow-up laboratory assaying is in progress. Chief Executive Officer Colin Bird says: ‘Hole SHDD017 is a particularly impressive hole with an intercept length of more than 250 [metres] which was heavily brecciated and accompanied by copper mineralisation throughout its length, with values to be determined by assay. The nature of the host environment is not typical for traditional copper belt mineralisation, which leads us to believe that this could be a totally different style of mineralisation.’
