Corporate Update

Mr. Ron Rieder, President and CEO noted: “Looking forward to the next 6 to 12 months, we anticipate final approvals for our recently announced Majuba Hill Copper project and we have set aside property option spending requirements for year one.

Consultants are identified and set to begin the 2017 exploration program, with applications for drilling permits completed and awaiting submission to the proper authorities upon the Exchange’s confirmation of final approval. Further details of the 2017 Galileo exploration initiatives will be released as soon as possible.

Gary Nordin, our consulting geologist, returned recently from a trip to Nevada, where he visited several properties Galileo is in the process of reviewing. The recommendations received from Mr. Nordin are under consideration by the Company, and funds raised through this financing may be used to secure option or joint venture agreements.”
