Up to 2 000 m of diamond drilling is expected to start soon to test multiple shallow copper/gold targets along, and parallel to, the Shinganda Splay Fault at London-listed Galileo Resources' Shinganda project, in Zambia. The drilling will also seek to test the iron oxide copper/gold deposit potential related to the iron alteration clusters and induced polarisation targets highlighted by the geophysical study.

Up to 2 000 m of diamond drilling is expected to start soon to test multiple shallow copper/gold targets along, and parallel to, the Shinganda Splay Fault at London-listed Galileo Resources' Shinganda project, in Zambia.

This follows the company's decision to exercise its option to acquire an initial 51% interest in the project, as announced in June. Moreover, historic drilling within and close to iron alteration clusters has returned ample evidence of widespread and, in parts, intense iron-alteration in the form of hematite, magnetite, and lesser pyrite. These boreholes were never assayed.
