London-listed Galileo Resources has appointed the highly experienced and successful Kalahari Copper Belt exploration geologists Dr Quinton Hills and Fred Nhiwatiwa to its senior management team.

Hills has been appointed to an advisory and supervisory role across all the company’s exploration projects in Botswana, while Nhiwatiwa has been appointed to manage exploration activities in Botswana.

The company will shortly start a comprehensive and targeted exploration programme in the country, using geochemical and geophysical techniques that have been routinely used to find copper/silver deposits in the Kalahari Copper Belt.

Galileo’s Kalahari Copper Belt tenures are near Cupric Canyon’s Khoemacau project, which hosts a sulphide resource of 502-million tonnes, grading 1.4% copper and 17 g/t silver; and Sandfire Resources’ T3 project, which hosts a resource of 60-million tonnes, grading 0.98% copper and 13.6 g/t silver.

Hills has more than 16 years’ experience in project generation, exploration and project development across a broad range of metals in Australia, Botswana, Namibia, Sweden and Finland, while Nhiwatiwa has more than 25 years’ experience in design, implementation and management of mineral exploration, resource development and business development in Southern Africa.
