Many investors feel that Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL) is making "slow progress" as they have not made a discovery.  In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Brad Underwood, Chairman and  Managing Director of the company share with us the methodical manner in which they are going about the business of locating the "Holy Grail", otherwise known as a Nickel Sulphide ore body. Brad outlines how the company is doing things in a step-by-step way to vector their drilling on the best case target.  This is one of the most comprehensive episodes on understanding the process of nickel exploration. Here are some topics that Brad shared with us: How magnetic surveys work and the information it gives explorers The use of gravity and electromagnetic surveys The science behind all these geophysical surveys In this episode, Brad also shares with us the thinking and the science behind the new Palladium target in Norseman. Watch the interview: Coffee with Samso Episode 87 The historical data in Norseman has shown that there is a potential PGE mineralisation existing in the current project. The share price of the company has taken a rough ride but looking at the eagerness to punt prior to drilling programs tells me that there are a lot of believers out there. Galileo has quality management and that is always going to be useful in good or bad times.
