Why are Galileo Mining shares in a trading halt?
The Galileo Mining share price was placed in a trading halt this morning pending an important market announcement.
In the brief description provided, the company revealed it will release the material drill assay results from its Callisto discovery.
The trading halt is expected to be lifted on Friday 27 May or by the release of the company's announcement – whichever comes earlier.
No doubt, investors will be keeping a close watch on Galileo Mining's latest update. This will give a clearer understanding of what lies underground at the Callisto discovery of the Norseman Project.
