A World Class Portfolio Big positions in world’s most friendly mining regions
• Recent acquisition of Concordia in South Africa Northern Cape has potential to assume “World Class” copper mine potential
• Galileo acquired in May 2014 by share swap
the entire portfolio of St. Vincent Inc. This portfolio contained the properties formerly owned by Newcrest Mining Ltd Australia prior to their exit from the US. The portfolio comes with a massive data bank and is technically considered highly prospective
• Glenover (South Africa): Strategic investment in
advanced Rare Earth/Phosphate projects

• Previous focus was on narrow steep underground copper ore-bodies that could be mined from underground
• The challenges that resulted from the modelling done included: • That the narrow modeled ore bodies were deep (>400m below surface); and • the ore bodies lacked critical mass to justify the development capital for a large
commercial mining operation
• Galileo recognised a different approach was required that could unlock the copper value
• After an initial review of the entire area it became apparent that any focus on narrow deep copper veins was not appropriate
• We then considered modelling ore-bodies at lower cut off grades
• It is now becoming evident that the potential ore bodies are large wide mineralised systems close to surface
• Potential for mining on a large commercial scale similar to the copper super pits of North America
Concordia Assessment Fast modelling leads to transformational thinking

Five massive bulk copper mineralised zones within a 10km radius of each other all outcropping on surface in an area with good infrastructure

Koeëlkop 5 Ore body (all could be connected with more infill drilling) Combined: 1200m in length x 45m in width x open to depth
Koeëlkop 5 only: 310m in strike-length x 20m wide (drilled surface to 50m open to depth)

• Complete a Feasibility Study for the project from the perspective of optimising mine design
• Infill drilling
• Metallurgical test work
• EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment)
• Mine planning & Financial modeling
12 months from completing BFS (project at advanced stage)
Next Steps Fast track to value
Mining approach quick to define
• Concordia represents a potential world-class copper district
• Multi pit approach is key to unlocking significant shareholder value
• Fiver super pit mineralised zones at preliminary modeling stage showing positive results
• Only small part of prospect area examined. Significant further potential
• BEE in place
• Management team with proven track record in place
• Gabbs (Nevada, USA): Nevada bulk mining
proposition – major independent resource established and significant potential to increase
• Ferber (Nevada, USA): Large gold copper
concessions close to major new gold discovery owned by Pilot Gold Inc. (TSX)
• Crow Springs (Nevada, USA): Within three
miles of Columbus Gold, site of major gold drill programme
• Silverton (Nevada, USA) Joint Venture with Orogen Gold Plc: Numerous gold intersections. Sparsely drilled significant sheer zone

Galileo’s Ongoing Strategy Take Concordia and Gabbs to their true value
• Current financing problems prevent company from releasing ultimate value but the outlook for all properties is well above average
• Concordia property unique and major potential
• Ferber proximity to Carlin Trend type discovery attracting major mining company interest
• Silverton ongoing mapping drill testing by joint venture partner Orogen Gold Plc
• Crow Springs to be mapped for rhyolite intrusions which drives neighbouring large gold discovery
• Glenover now well understood and placed in market. Potential for exit or continued investment
• Gabbs property in Nevada being reviewed for value release drill programme

Ferber Property Big position paid for
• 120 unpatented mining claims and 21 patented mining claims covering 2,377 acres
• Adjacent to recent major gold discovery Kinsley Mountain
• Claims of a new gold trend comparable to the prolific Carlin Trend
• Previous work reported: 10.8 m of 0.53 g/t Au 4.6 m of 2.15 g/t Au 4.6 m of 0.72 % Cu 26.2 m of 0.4 % Cu 12.3 m of 0.8 % Cu
22
Compelling Investment Case Balanced portfolio with near term production projects
• Quality projects in South Africa and Nevada, historically big producing areas
• Strong international interest in the St. Vincent properties generally because of size and location
• Projects are open-pittable and of a size suitable for major mining company acquisition
• Geological setting provides significant opportunity for new discovery or expansion of existing mineralisation models
• The data packages acquired are the result of work carried out by major mining companies and therefore can be relied on
• In more investor friendly resource company times this portfolio could not have been assembled. Cost of acquisition prohibitive
