IN BRIEF: Galileo Resources to start Phase III drilling in Zambia
Galileo Resources PLC - Mining company focused on Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa - Decides to commence a Phase III drill programme at the Shinganda copper-gold project in Zambia.

Higher copper and gold grades were found at shallow depths, where primary mineralisation was subjected to supergene enrichment. Phase III drilling will target a projected supergene high-grade, broadly drill-defined zone. Supergene enrichment is broadly associated with a coincident magnetic anomaly. Chair and Chief Executive Colin Bird says drilling should start by the end of the third quarter. Read More
