Star Metro - Galway Metals Drilling Highlights Potential for Deeper Resource Expansion at Southwest Deposit

"These three holes have intersected high-grade gold where our current resource model has a gap along the interpreted southwest plunge," said Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals. "Resource areas on either side give us a compelling target to follow at depth, and the results reinforce our view that there may be other high-grade shoots to test across the Southwest Deposit. As we advance the Clarence Stream PEA, this drilling is helping us evaluate opportunities for deeper resource expansion and the deposit's underground potential."

Highlights (Plan Map)

• BL-332 intersected 2.8 g/t gold over 48.0 metres, including 16.7 g/t gold over 5.0 metres. Separate intervals returned 3.9 g/t gold over 30.0 metres, including 68.3 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, and 4.5 g/t gold over 13.0 metres. (Oblique Section)
• BL-333 intersected 8.3 g/t gold over 6.0 metres, including 39.2 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, and a separate interval of 4.2 g/t gold over 5.0 metres, including 12.2 g/t gold over 1.0 metre.
• BL-334 intersected 6.4 g/t gold over 7.0 metres, including 38.5 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, and a separate interval of 1.0 g/t gold over 10.0 metres.
• BL-276 intersected 4.0 g/t gold over 6.0 metres, including 22.5 g/t gold over 1.0 metre.

Testing the Southwest Deposit's High-Grade Southwest Plunging Shoots

BL-332, BL-333 and BL-334 were drilled to test a gap in the current mineral resource model along an interpreted southwest-plunging trend, where resource areas occur on either side of the new intercepts. The holes intersected high-grade gold in and adjacent to a gap in the current resource model, including mineralization outside the resource wireframes, supporting Galway's interpretation of repeated high-grade shoots in this portion of the Southwest Deposit (Oblique Section). The deposit-scale long section highlights other interpreted southwest-plunging trends that could be followed up with deeper drilling for potential resource expansion (Long Section). Further drilling will help define the continuity and extent of these shoots and evaluate the deposit's underground potential.

The BL-270-series holes were drilled principally to increase drill coverage between and within areas of the current resource and to test continuity across gaps between resource pit shells. These holes intersected additional gold mineralization, including 4.0 g/t gold over 6.0 metres in BL-276, with 22.5 g/t gold over 1.0 metre, supporting the interpretation of mineralized connections in this area.

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, 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. A more detailed description of the Clarence Stream geology and mineralization is available at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.

Review by Qualified Person

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jesse Fisher, P.Geo., Project Manager for Clarence Stream and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Fisher certifies that this news release fairly and accurately reflects the technical information and data presented.

Quality Control and Reports

All core, chip/boulder samples, and soil samples are assayed by Activation Laboratories, located at 41 Bittern Street, Ancaster, Ontario, Canada, Agat Laboratories, located at 5623 McAdam Road, Mississauga Ontario, Canada L4Z 1N9 and 35 General Aviation Road, Timmins, ON P4P 7C3, and/or Swastika Laboratories situated in Swastika, ON. All four labs have ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. All core is under watch from the drill site to the core processing facility. Drill core is NQ size and sample intervals range from 0.5 meters to 1.5 meters in length. All samples are assayed for gold by Fire Assay, with gravimetric finish, and other elements assayed using ICP. The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks and standards into the sample shipments, as well as instructions for duplication. Standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted at one per 20 samples. Approximately five percent (5%) of the pulps and rejects are sent for check assaying at a second lab with the results averaged and intersections updated when received. Core recovery in the mineralized zones has averaged 99%.
