Seneca investment advisor Arthur Garipoli is optimistic Galileo can keep rising into the future.

Garipoli highlighted that the company's significant palladium and platinum discovery in May "resulted in a soaring share price". He said.

We believe the company is set up for an extended, uninterrupted period of drilling, assays and results.

Recently, Galileo shared news of massive sulphides discovered at the Callisto palladium project. Further assay results from the project are due in mid to late September.
