Star Metro - Galway Metals' District-Scale Geophysics Defines High-Priority Target Corridor Between Clarence Stream's Two Largest Gold Deposits

Rob Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals, commented: "Our first hole into the South-Limb Target Trend has now been completed and encountered the geology we were hoping to see, including multiple quartz veins with visually identified arsenopyrite and alteration consistent with our exploration model. This is an encouraging start as we test one of the most compelling new exploration targets identified through our 2026 district-scale geophysical program. As shown in Figure 1, the South-Limb Target Trend consists of an interpreted 6-kilometer corridor located between the South and Southwest deposits, Galway's two largest known gold deposits, and supports our view that Clarence Stream has significant room to grow. Core has been logged and sampled, and we look forward to updating shareholders when assay results are received."

Program Highlights:

• Preliminary airborne geophysics supports the interpretation that the South and Southwest deposits may occur along opposing limbs of a regional-scale fold structure.

• The known deposits and interpreted target corridor define more than 6 kilometres of prospective strike length between the two deposits

• A conductive graphitic horizon provides a mappable regional marker horizon, supporting Galway's evolving structural interpretation of gold mineralization at Clarence Stream.

• Initial drilling of the South-Limb Target Trend has commenced, with core logging and sampling underway and assays pending.

• Ongoing interpretation and integration of the geophysical dataset is expected to generate additional priority drill targets across the Clarence Stream Project.

Initial Drilling of South-Limb Target Trend

Galway has commenced drilling along the newly interpreted South-Limb Target Trend, a priority target generated from the preliminary airborne geophysical interpretation. The target area lies between the South and Southwest deposits and is interpreted to represent a prospective structural corridor associated with the broader Clarence Stream gold system.

The first hole in the South-Limb Target Trend was drilled near the midpoint of the interpreted structural corridor, completed to a depth of 440 m, and encountered the anticipated geological sequence, including conglomerate, hydrothermal alteration, and swarms of quartz veins with sulphide mineralization visually identified as arsenopyrite. Quartz-vein swarms were observed at several locations downhole, including at approximately 197 m and 330 m. Core has been logged and sampled and assays are pending (Figure 3).

The Company cautions that visual observations of quartz veining, alteration and sulphide mineralization are preliminary in nature and are not necessarily indicative of gold grade or economic mineralization. Assay results are required to determine the presence, grade and significance of gold mineralization, and will be reported once received, reviewed, and interpreted.

Ongoing Geophysical Interpretation

In addition to the South-Limb Target Trend, the preliminary airborne geophysical interpretation has identified numerous conductive responses, structural breaks, and potential offsets of known mineralized trends across the survey area that may represent additional exploration opportunities.

Galway's geophysical consultants continue to refine and interpret the preliminary dataset through additional processing and integration with drilling, geology, soil geochemistry, and known mineralized trends. As interpretation advances, Galway expects to prioritize additional drill-ready targets across the Clarence Stream Project.

The preliminary results are supporting Galway's evolving geological and structural understanding of the Clarence Stream gold system and are expected to enhance targeting across the Project's approximately 65-kilometre prospective trend.

Geology and Mineralization

Gold-antimony mineralization at Clarence Stream is structurally controlled and associated with quartz veins and quartz stockwork developed within brittle-ductile fault zones hosted in both intrusive and metasedimentary rocks. Mineralization is associated with pyrite, base-metal sulphides, and stibnite, along with anomalous concentrations of bismuth, arsenic, and antimony, and tungsten.

Alteration within host rocks is typically confined to a few metres surrounding quartz veins and is characterized primarily by sericitization and chloritization.
