Chairman's report

Dear Shareholder,

The year under review has been exceptional from many points of view and the Company now has a suite of assets, which we consider to be above average with a number of them being individual company makers in their own right.

Kalahari Copperbelt: Botswana

We reported during May 2021 that we have completed our processing, interpretation and drill target selection of the helicopter geophysical fly-over of the Kalahari licences and that a number of the concessions have favourable results, producing the typical signature that warrants further investigation.

We announced in September 2021 that we completed the conditional sale of approximately 50% of our licences to Sandfire Resources Limited ("Sandfire"), with a deferred payment of up to US$80 million should any of the projects produce certain levels of contained copper. On completion of this agreement, Sandfire agreed to pay Galileo US$1.5 million of cash and issue 370,477 Sandfire ordinary shares, which at the time were worth approximately US$1.8 million. Sandfire agreed to an aggressive two-year exploration budget of US$4 million, and these work programmes are currently underway. Sandfire has had considerable success with its own exploration activities and is well advanced in constructing its' first mine in the vicinity of licences that Galileo sold to Sandfire.

We undertook exploration on our own retained licences, and although we did not intercept mineralisation in all cases, we intercepted the typical lithology that hosts copper and silver mineralisation. We intend to follow up with these results in the 4th quarter of this year.

Glenover Project: South Africa

In February 2022, we announced that we had completed the partial sale of the Glenover assets to Afrimat Limited ("Afrimat") for ZAR 50.7 million (approximately £2.4 million), with the remainder of the sale to be completed or abandoned before mid-November 2022. A further interim payment of ZAR 10 million (approximately £0.5 million) was paid to the company in March 2022 for the sale of vermiculite mining rights. Should Afrimat complete the entire transaction, Galileo will be due another ZAR 102 million (approximately £5.2 million) on completion.

Luansobe & Shinganda projects: Zambia

December 2021 was a very acquisitive month for the Company in that we acquired the exploration rights to two major exploration projects in Zambia namely Luansobe and Shinganda. During the post review period, both of these projects have been subjected to desk re-evaluation, legacy core examination and reinterpretation. I am pleased to say at the time of writing this report both projects are showing extremely good potential of certainly achieving small mine status and equally the prospects for a large discovery of copper and possibly gold in the case of Shinganda.

Lithium & Gold projects: Zimbabwe

In March 2022, we announced that we entered into a joint venture relationship with B.C. Ventures Limited ("BC Ventures") for the rights to acquire a 51% interest against an expenditure of US$1.5 million for lithium and gold exploration properties in Zimbabwe. The agreement also allows for BC Ventures to sell up to 29% at a negotiated value in exchange for Galileo ordinary shares. In August 2022, we announced that the Company acquired 29% of BC Ventures for 50 million Galileo ordinary shares.

The Zimbabwean assets are very high in potential and wide-ranging exploration programmes have already commenced at both sites. The lithium asset is located around the area of the old Kamativi tin mine where the mine dumps are known to contain 0.58% lithium oxide. The lithium oxide is hosted by pegmatites, often in association with tin and the presence of the same prospective geology extending from the Kamativi mine onto our licence is good reason for optimism for a new lithium discovery. Post balance sheet we have carried out desk research and fieldwork exploration. We have taken a suite of samples over a number of target areas and await the assay results.

An airborne geophysical survey has already been conducted over the area covered by the gold asset, located in the vicinity of Bulawayo. Interpreted results are strongly suggestive of greenstone gold terrane and potentially base metal lithology. We intend to generate drill targets and hope to drill during the 4th quarter of 2022.

These two exploration projects are a very exciting addition to the Company's portfolio, with high potential and we will update the market as the results begin to emerge.

Zimbabwe has expressed its welcome to foreign mining companies to explore and develop and we look forward to establishing a solid exploration capability in the country.

Kashitu Project: Zambia

The Kashitu zinc project in Zambia has been subject to a further review, resulting in a continued commitment to add value and hopefully bring a small initial deposit into production during early 2023.

Star Zinc Project: Zambia

In March 2021 we announced the ceding of ownership and operation of the Star Zinc project close to Lusaka, as it was proving difficult due to its close proximity to municipality housing and industry, even though we had attempted a small mining approach with a local group. The possibility of blasting and the use of large trucks appears to be a limitation on the project, since housing and population density has increased further since project initiation.

Ferber Project: Nevada USA

The Ferber project in the US, remains in good standing and we hope to commence a limited drill programme, before the calendar year end. This programme will essentially test the prognosis that a large gold-copper skarn deposit may occur in the project area.

Prospects

The small cap sector of the natural resource stock markets has been the worst I have experienced in my career and there remains little sign of recovery. This is caused generally by the war in the Ukraine, rampant inflation, and other global geopolitical uncertainty.

At the time of writing all commodities have come off their price highs, although there are already signs of recovery, suggesting that the drop off was short lived and unlikely to be maintained.

Many influential commentators in the commodity sector are strongly predicting scarcity and thus strong metal prices for those companies engaged in the electric vehicle manufacturing. Recently there have been a number of examples of manufacturers making arrangements and contracts with producers, thereby eliminating the trader. This is unique and strongly suggests that both the EV and associated industries have real concern over sustainable and stable supply of critical metals.

Against this background we are convinced that our portfolio is very well placed with quality projects in the right arena. The investor "stand-off" cannot be maintained since history says that the smaller cap explorers are the call option for tomorrow's metals. That being so, Galileo is extremely well placed.

I would like to thank my fellow directors and management of Galileo for their excellent efforts in what has been a unique year, producing an enviable portfolio, whilst - like all small companies - experiencing considerable head winds against progress.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 March 2022

· The directors are required in terms of the Companies Act 2006 to maintain adequate accounting records and are responsible for the content and integrity of the consolidated annual financial statements and related financial information included in this report. It is their responsibility to ensure that the consolidated annual financial statements fairly present the state of affairs of the Group as at the end of the financial year and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with the applicable UK laws.

· The consolidated annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards and are based upon appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates. The directors acknowledge that they are ultimately responsible for the system of internal financial control established by the Group and place considerable importance on maintaining a strong control environment. To enable the directors to meet these responsibilities, the board sets standards for internal control aimed at reducing the risk of error or loss in a cost-effective manner. The standards include the proper delegation of responsibilities within a clearly defined framework, effective accounting procedures and adequate segregation of duties to ensure an acceptable level of risk. These controls are monitored throughout the Group and all employees are required to maintain the highest ethical standards in ensuring the Group's business is conducted in a manner that in all reasonable circumstances is above reproach. The focus of risk management in the Group is on identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring all known forms of risk across the Group. While operating risk cannot be fully eliminated, the Group endeavours to minimise it by ensuring that appropriate infrastructure, controls, systems and ethical behavior are applied and managed within predetermined procedures and constraints.

· The directors are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management that the system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that the financial records may be relied on for the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements. However, any system of internal financial control can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.

· The going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the consolidated annual financial statements. The directors have no reason to believe that the Group will not be a going concern in the foreseeable future, based on forecasts and available cash resources. These consolidated annual financial statements support the viability of the company. the directors have reviewed the Group's financial position at the balance sheet date and for the period ending on the anniversary of the date of approval of these financial statements and they are satisfied that the Group has, or has access to, adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Basis of preparation

The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard and the Companies Act 2006. The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets and they are presented in Pound Sterling. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous period.

2.  Basis of consolidation

The consolidated annual financial statements incorporate the annual financial statements of the Company and all entities, including special purpose entities, which are controlled by the Company.

Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated annual financial statements from the effective date of acquisition to the effective date of disposal.

Adjustments are made when necessary to the annual financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified and recognised separately from the Group's interest therein and are recognised within equity. Losses of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests are allocated to the non-controlling interest even if this results in a debit balance being recognised for non- controlling interest.

Transactions, which result in changes in ownership levels, where the Group has control of the subsidiary both before and after the transaction, are regarded as equity transactions and are recognised directly in the statement of changes in equity.

The difference between the fair value of consideration paid or received and the movement in non-controlling interest for such transactions is recognised in equity attributable to the owners of the parent.

Where a subsidiary is disposed of and a non-controlling shareholding is retained, the remaining investment is measured to fair value with the adjustment to fair value recognised in profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the controlling interest.

3.  Financial review

The Group reported earnings of £1,542,576 (2021: earnings of £87,872).

4.  Segmental analysis

Business unit

The Company's investments in subsidiaries and associates, that were operational at year-end, operate in four geographical locations being South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and USA, and are organised into one business unit, namely Mineral Assets, from which the Group's expenses are incurred and future revenues are expected to be earned. This being the exploration for and extraction of its mineral assets through direct and indirect holdings. The reporting on these investments to the board focuses on the use of funds towards the respective projects and the forecasted profit earnings potential of the projects.

The Company's investment in Zambia and Zimbabwe did not contribute to the operating profit or losses and is excluded from the segmental analysis.

Geographical segments

An analysis of the profit/(loss) on ordinary activities before taxation is given below:

	31 March	31 March
	2022	2021
Rare earths, aggregates and iron ore and manganese  South Africa	3,433,034	(9,088)

Gold   USA	8,170	-
Corporate costs  United Kingdom	(2,167,790)	(1,472,821)
Total	1,391,013	87,877

5.  Taxation

As announced on 16 September 2021, Galileo concluded the sale of 9 of its Company's Kalahari Copper Belt Licences to Sandfire Resources. As part of the transaction, during the previous financial year when the transaction was still subject to certain conditions precedent the Galileo recognised a deferred tax liability in the amount of £425,813. The transaction was completed during the period under review and the corresponding tax charge recognised in profit or loss.

The applicable tax rate is calculated with reference to the weighted average tax rate across the reporting jurisdictions for the period under review. The weighted average tax rate for the year under review was 17.79% (2021: 19.60%). No provision has been made for 2022 tax as the Group has no taxable income. The estimated Group tax losses available for set off against future taxable income is £10,618,703 (2021: £6,868,214). The Group did not recognise a deferred tax asset in respect of the losses carried forward as the Group is not expected to generate taxable profits in the foreseeable future.

6. Auditors' Report
