2019
Galileo (AIM: GLR), the exploration and development mining
company, announces its unaudited interim results for the six-month
period ended 30 September 2019.
Highlights
Period under review
-- Loss per share 0.03 pence compared to 0.1 pence for the comparative period (2018)
-- Operating expenses down 26% to GBP 189 189 compared to GBP
255 677 for the comparative period (2018)
-- Star Zinc Project in Zambia funded to progress work including
producing an independent ore resource estimate, block
modelling/preliminary pit design, and preparation for submission of
a small-scale mining permit application
-- Completed, (as announced on 26 June 2019), an independent
initial inferred Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Star
Zinc Project in accordance with JORC 2012
-- The MRE reports inferred zinc resources of approximately 500
000 tonnes at 16% Zn or 77 000 tonnes of contained metal above a
cut-off grade of 2% Zn, including approximately 340 000 tonnes at
21% Zn for 72 000 tonnes of metal above a cut-off grade of 8%
Zn
-- Acquired unconditionally from Enviro Mining Ltd ("EML"), a
subsidiary of BMR Group plc ("BMR"), the remaining 15% of the
shares it held in Enviro Zambia Limited ("EZL"), thereby increasing
the Company's beneficial interest in the Star Zinc Project to 95%
with the Zambian government holding the other 5%.
-- The acquisition includes the Kashitu Prospect.
-- On 5 October 2018, the DMR requested a Record of Decision
("ROD") from the Department of Water and Sanitation ("DWS") in
respect of Glenover Phosphate-Rare Earth project's mining right
application and related Waste Management License Application. The
ROD is pending final discussions by Glenover Consultants with DWS
in this regard
-- A South African major fertilizer producer ("MFP") offered
terms for the purchase of phosphate concentrate as feedstock in
MFP's fertilizer processing plant
Post period under review

-- Negotiations targeting a zinc-ore offtake between the
Company, regarding Star Zinc, and Jubilee Metals Group's ("JMG")
Kabwe zinc refinery in Zambia ("Refinery"), progressed.
-- The proposed terms include payability to be consistent with
similar offtake agreements in the zinc market, namely based on a
sliding scale against grade and price; Star Zinc ore supply for up
to 60 000 tonnes (t) ore per annum; ore grade supplied not less
than 14% Zn; and 3-year term supply, renewable by mutual
agreement
-- Mining targeted to commence Q2 2020, subject to bulk sample
testing and availability of further funding and grant of
small-scale mining permit including environmental permit
-- Contribution of silver and germanium from Star Zinc ore to be further assessed
-- Amenability and suitability of Kashitu material for the
Refinery proposed to be tested on site, in particular the
recoverability of vanadium, the presence of which has been
identified historically on Kashitu
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
ZAMBIA
Star Zinc Project
The Company holds a 95% beneficial interest in the Star Zinc
Project near Lusaka, through its wholly owned Enviro Zambia Ltd
("EZL"), a company registered in Mauritius. EZL holds a 95%
interest (the Zambian Government 5%) in Enviro Processing Zambia
Ltd ("EPZL"), to which the exploration licence by a binding
agreement (RNS(1) No. 6156A) is proposed to be transferred from the
current registered holder Enviro Processing Ltd ("EPL") a wholly
owned subsidiary of BMR's subsidiary EML Star Zinc's inferred
Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") comprises 500 000 tonnes at 16%
Zinc for 77 000 tonnes of contained metal above a cut-off grade of
2% Zinc including approximately 340 000 tonnes at 21% Zinc for 72
000 tonnes of metal above a cut-off grade of 8% (RNS no. 8199J)
1 RNS Regulatory News Service announcement
Operations
The Company commenced negotiations (RNS no. 6554X) with JMG/BMR,
for an off-take agreement to supply ore from Star Zinc ("SZ"),
pursuant to a Binding Term Sheet ("Term Sheet") (RNS no. 4837P).
The commencement of negotiations was facilitated by JMG's
acquisition in March 2019, of Glencore's Sable zinc refinery for
its Kabwe Tailings project in Zambia. These negotiations are
on-going. The Company, at the same, secured a placing to raise GBP
500 000 ("Proceeds"), before expenses to advance the Star Zinc
project.
The Company used part of the Proceeds, to fund an independent
JORC 2012 MRE and work on preliminary open pit design and plan to
mine direct shipping ore from Star Zinc. The MRE determined the
global mineral inventory for Star Zinc at approximately 1 000 000
tonnes at 9% Zn, with an estimate calculated metal content of 88
000 tonnes of zinc.
Kashitu Project ("Kashitu") Zambia
Kashitu is located in the SE corner of EPL's Kabwe Mining
License. The Kashitu area is considered prospective, due to
historic elevated zinc-in-soil values and could be potentially
amenable to zinc extraction via leaching technologies, similar to
that proposed for JMG's Kabwe Tailings Recovery Project. Historic
soil sampling by Billiton (now BHP) recorded zinc values greater
than 15 000 ppm Zn (1.5% Zn) over a 1.2 km by 0.3 km NW verging
area, which is in close proximity to historical workings.
Reportedly high-grade surficial willemite (a zinc silicate ore
mineral) was extracted from the historical workings to feed the
historic Kabwe Mine plant, during its operation. An interpretation
of existing RAB (rotary air blasting), RC (reverse circulation) and
diamond drilling has defined the area of potential interest, and
likely associated it with a ENE-trending structure containing
steeply dipping, high-grade willemite veins.
Operations
Pursuant to the binding and exclusive agreement (RNS No. 6156A)
with BMR"), the Company acquired from BMR the Kabwe Residual Rights
,which included the Kashitu prospect area and under the same
agreement the Company, on 24 June 2019, served a Notice of
Completion of the Conditions Precedent to Complete the Acquisition
of the Star Zinc Project and issued 9 615 385 Galileo ordinary
shares at 0.52p in lieu of the cash consideration of GBP 50 000
payable on Completion (RNS No. 0926D)
The formulation of an exploration and development programme for
Kashitu is on-going.
Post period under review
The Company raised a further GBP500 000 before expenses (RNS
3765Q), which it intends to use for general working capital and
towards advancing its Star Zinc and Kashitu projects; including an
application and related environmental and licence transfer
activities for a small-scale mining permit for Star Zinc and
exploration on Kashitu.
SOUTH AFRICA
Glenover Phosphate Project ("Glenover Project" or "Project")
The Company owns a 36% interest in Glenover Project, by way of
its interest in Glenover Phosphate (Pty) Ltd ("Glenover") the
ultimate owner of the Project, and includes its interest in Galagen
(Pty) Ltd, a BEE stakeholder in Glenover. The Company's interest in
Glenover will increase to 38% on grant of a Mining Right). Glenover
is negotiating options on the Project including sale or a long-term
off-take definitive supply agreement ("DSA") with a major
fertiliser producer ("MFP") subject to certain product
specifications. The tailings material will contain high values of
strategic rare earths, which have been shown to be capable of
producing a refinable rare-earth product for international
refiners.
Operations
The South African Department of Mineral Resources ("DMR") is
adjudicating Glenover's Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and
Environmental Management Programme ("EMP") in terms of its Mining
Right Application ("MRA"). The DMR grant of a Mining Right awaits a
Record of Decision ("ROD") from the Department of Water and
Sanitation ("DWS") in respect of an associated application of an
Environmental Authorization/Waste License. Glenover held a number
of meetings with the DWS to clarify certain DWA queries with regard
to Glenover's design proposals for waste disposal. The ROD remains
the outstanding issue for DMR's adjudication on granting a Mining
Right for the Project.
Concordia Copper Project ("Concordia")
The Company made no contribution to further exploration on
Concordia and retains a 15% interest in the project.
USA
Ferber Property
The Ferber property is a historic producer of gold and copper.
It hosts widespread gold and copper mineralisation. The Ferber
intrusion-centred gold system is broadly similar to productive gold
deposits elsewhere in north-central Nevada, where Carlin-style gold
mineralisation and gold skarn mineralisation are genetically
related to Late Eocene intrusions similar in age to the Ferber
stock. This large district requires a broad approach aimed at
recognizing geochemical zoning, delineating district-scale
structure and understanding the stratigraphy. Integrating these
three components should serve as a vector to quality exploration
targets.
The Company carried out no exploration on the property and
continued to seek JV/farm-out partners or sale for the project. The
renewal claims fees to August 2020 for Ferber were lodged with both
the US Bureau of Land Management and Elko County, Nevada.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Status of interim report
The Group unaudited condensed interim results for the 6 months
ended 30 September 2019 have been prepared using the accounting
policies applied by the Company in its 31 March 2019
annual report, which are in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRC interpretations)
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as
adopted for use in the EU ("IFRS"), including the SAICA financial
reporting guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee,
IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, , the AIM rules of the London
Stock Exchange and the Companies Act 2006 (UK). This condensed
consolidated interim financial report does not include all notes of
the type normally included in an annual financial report.
Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the
annual report for the year ended 31 March 2019 and any public
announcements by Galileo Resources Plc. All monetary information is
presented in the presentation currency of the Company being Great
British Pound. The Group's principal accounting policies and
assumptions have been applied consistently over the current and
prior comparative financial period. The financial information for
the year ended 31 March 2019 contained in this interim report does
not constitute statutory accounts as defined by section 435 of the
Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year
has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's
report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain a
statement under section 498(2)-(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated annual financial statements incorporate the
annual financial statements of the Company and all entities,
including special purpose entities, which are controlled by the
Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern
the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain
benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries are
included in the consolidated annual financial statements from the
effective date of acquisition to the effective date of disposal.
Adjustments are made when necessary to the annual financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in
line with those of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are
eliminated in full on consolidation. Non-controlling interests in
the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified and
recognised separately from the Group's interest therein, and are
recognised within equity. Losses of subsidiaries attributable to
non-controlling interests are allocated to the non-controlling
interest even if this results in a debit balance being recognised
for non-controlling interest. Transactions which result in changes
in ownership levels, where the Group has control of the subsidiary
both before and after the transaction, are regarded as equity
transactions and are recognised directly in the statement of
changes in equity. The difference between the fair value of
consideration paid or received and the movement in non-controlling
interest for such transactions is recognised in equity attributable
to the owners of the parent.
3. Segmental analysis
Business segments
The Company's investments in subsidiaries and associates, that
were operational at year-end, operate in three geographical
locations being South Africa, Zambia and USA, and are organised
into one business unit, namely Mineral Assets, from which the
Group's expenses are incurred and future revenues are expected to
be earned. This being the exploration for and extraction of its
mineral assets through direct and indirect holdings. The reporting
on these investments to the board focuses on the use of funds
towards the respective projects and the forecasted profit earnings
potential of the projects. An analysis of the loss on ordinary
activities before taxation is given below:

4. Financial review
The Group reported a net loss of GBP 193 484 (2018: GBP 264 768)
before and after taxation. Basic loss reported is 0.03 pence (2018:
0.1 pence) per share. Loss per share is based on a weighted average
number of ordinary shares of 345 966 425 (2018: 278 021 220).
Operating costs were down 26% during the period under review to GBP
189 189.
5. Investments in joint ventures and subsidiaries
5.1 Glenover
The Company owns a 36% interest (this will increase to 38% on
grant of a Mining Right) in the Glenover Project, by way of its
interest in Glenover Phosphate (Pty) Ltd ("Glenover"), the ultimate
owner of the Project. Glenover is negotiating options on the
Project including sale or a long-term off-take definitive supply
agreement with a Major Fertiliser Producer subject to certain
product specifications. The tailings material will contain high
values of strategic rare earths, which have been shown to be
capable of producing a re-finable rare-earth product for

5.2 Star Zinc
The Company acquired a 51% earn-in interest through a joint
venture with BMR in the Zambian Star Zinc project ("Star Zinc"),
which contains a historically declared non-JORC hard rock resource
of 275 166 tonnes grading 20.2% Zinc ("Zn") at a cut-off grade of

On 24 June 2019 the Company completed the acquisition of the
Kabwe Residual Rights, including the Kashitu Zinc willemite
exploration prospect ("Kashitu Zinc") and the remaining 15% of the
shares in Enviro Zambia Limited (the "Sale Shares") (together the
"Acquisition") for a total consideration of GBP 222 500. The
consideration for the Acquisition comprised a cash component of GBP
50 000 and the issuance of 15 000 000 Galileo ordinary shares
("Consideration Shares") of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Share") to BMR at
a price of 1.15p per Ordinary Share. Also, in terms of the Binding

100%. Enviro Zambia Limited owns 95% of Enviro Processing Zambia
Limited, to which Star Zinc's large-scale exploration license
19653-HQ-LEL remains to be transferred, subject to Zambian
regulatory approval, from a wholly owned subsidiary of BMR, Enviro
Processing Limited.
6. Subsequent events
6.1 Capital raise
As announced on 18 October 2019, the Company has completed a
placing (the "Placing") with institutional and retail investors
comprising 125 000 000 ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of 0.1p
each (the "Placing Shares") at a placing price of 0.40p (the
"Placing Price") per Placing Share to raise GBP 500 000 before
expenses and 125 000 000 Warrants ("Placing Warrants") to subscribe
for Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 0.60p per share. The
Company intends to use the proceeds of the Placing for general
working capital towards advancing its Star Zinc and Kashitu
projects ("the Projects") in Zambia, including an application and
related environmental and licence transfer activities for a
small-scale mining permit for Star Zinc and exploration on
Kashitu.
In connection with the Placing, the Company has also granted 3
750 000 warrants to Shard ("Brokers Warrants") to subscribe for

Brokers Warrants and the Placing Warrants may be exercised at any
time in the period expiring on the second anniversary of Admission
of the Placing Shares.
As part of the Placing, Colin Bird, the Company's Chairman, and
Richard Wollenberg, one of the Company's Non-Executive Directors,
respectively subscribed for 5 000 000 and 500 000 Placing Units.
Accordingly, Colin Bird holds 60 435 000 Ordinary Shares
representing 10.83% of Galileo's enlarged issued share capital and
Richard Wollenberg holds 7 221 341 Ordinary Shares representing
1.29% of Galileo's enlarged issued share capital following the
Placing.
7. Going concern
The Group has sufficient financial resources to enable it to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, to
continue the current development programme and meet its liabilities
as they fall due. Up to the date of this report the Group raised
GBP 500 000 before expenses and the Company has no external debt or
overdrafts. The directors have further reviewed the Group's cash
flow forecast, and in light of this review and the financial
position at the date of this report, they are satisfied that the
Company and Group have access to adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the
directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the
going-concern basis in preparing these financial statements. This
basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future
operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of
liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in
the ordinary course of business.
