Unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 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
-- Star Zinc and Kashitu operations funded through capital raise completed on 18 October 2019 raising GBP500,000 before expenses. Proceeds will be applied towards an application and related environmental and licence transfer activities for a small-scale mining permit for Star Zinc and exploration on Kashitu
-- 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:

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.
