Galway Metals Richard Drilling Intersects 3.7 g/t Au Over 35.0m Plus 3.4 g/t Au over 21.0m in One Hole, and 4.4 g/t Au Over 21.0m in Another, and Extends Richard 340m North

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2022 / Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V:GWM)(OTCQB:GAYMF) (the "Company" or "Galway") is pleased to report results from numerous drill holes around the Richard Zone at the Company's Clarence Stream gold project in southwest New Brunswick, Canada (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Initially, following discovery of Richard, the 1.0 km gap to Jubilee was drilled off every 100 metres, which resulted in joining up the 2 zones. Subsequent drilling every 50m followed the zone toward surface and to depth, and corroborated very good continuity along strike. One line of holes was drilled towards the north, which extends the zone's potential width substantially. Highlights include:

  • Richard Zone mineralization has been extended 340m north from the main sub-vertical zones at the east end of Richard with hole 213, intersecting 1.1 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 8.35 metres (m), plus 0.8 g/t Au over 4.15m plus 2.0 g/t Au over 1.15m. These quartz veined zones could be the western extension of the Adrian Zone located 970m to the east. It could also line up with the New Discovery located 900m to the NE, with both the New Discovery and hole 213 intersections representing flat-dipping veins draped off and following the dip of the buried granite intrusive to the west. This discovery in hole 213 opens up the potential of linking these three zones Figure 3
  • Drilling designed to enhance the economics of the project by bringing veins closer to surface was successful; intersections such as 1.7 g/t Au over 22.0m, 2.6 g/t Au over 9.0m, 0.7 g/t Au over 31.5m, 1.1 g/t Au over 8.0m, and 3.0 g/t Au over 3.0m are -85m, -61m, -88m, -52m and -30 metres vertical from surface. The discovery hole, BL18-12, returned 7.3 g/t Au over 36.7m, including 38.1 g/t Au over 6.5m, starting only -36 metres vertical
  • Drilling 50m centres has corroborated previous 100m drilling to prove very good continuity. Hole 177 intersected 3.7 g/t Au over 35.0m, 3.4 g/t Au over 21.0m, and 5.5 g/t Au over 5.65m. Other highlight intersections include 4.4 g/t Au over 21.0m, 4.3 g/t Au over 6.0m, 4.0 g/t Au over 9.5m, and 3.1 g/t Au over 13.75m plus 1.2 g/t Au over 16.8m
  • Drilling at depth was also successful. Deep drilling intersected 5.5 g/t Au over 5.65m at -392m, 35.1 g/t Au over 3.15m at -362m, and 4.0 g/t Au over 6.0m at -355m. The deepest intersect in any of the 4 Zones not in resource at Clarence Stream starts at -472m vertical (18.5 g/t Au over 0.65m within 1.3 g/t Au over 25.0m). The South Zone has been intersected below 500m. All 6 zones at Clarence Stream are open to depth
  • The area between Richard and Jubilee returned an intersection of 0.9 g/t Au over 26.0m in hole 184. This intersection further helps to connect the two zones; this area needs more drilling

Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals, said, "Galway has drilled 3km of mineralization in the Adrian, GMZ, Richard and Jubilee Zones. They all remain open for expansion, as do the South and North Zones. All six zones host excellent continuity and grade, and all will be included in the updated resource that is close to completion for an April release. Looking beyond the resource, Galway will have a three-pronged approach to its 6-drill exploration program: to expand the known zones, to follow-up on recent discoveries, and to make additional new discoveries as Galway continues to demonstrate that Clarence Stream is an important new gold district in North America."

Interpretations

The intersections in hole 177 (3.7 g/t Au over 35.0m and 3.4 g/t Au over 21.0m, among others - see above) are located on a 50m section line between 100m section lines that returned 1.4 g/t Au over 85.0m (76.9m true width (TW) - hole 100) 50m west, and 1.2 g/t Au over 31.1m plus 1.2 g/t Au over 20.6m (16.0m TW - 19.0 TW hole 77) 50m east at the same elevation. The 5.5 g/t Au over 5.65m intersection, also in hole 177, appears to be a new deep zone, or it could be the same zone as intersected 400m to the east in hole 130 (18.5 g/t Au over 0.65m within 1.3 g/t Au over 25.0m). This 400m gap will need further drilling and could contribute in the near future.

The intersection in hole 176 (4.4 g/t Au over 21.0m) is located on the same 50m section as hole 177 between 100m section lines that returned 6.2g/t Au over 38.5m (37.9m TW - hole 101) 50m west and 8.4 g/t Au over 12.5m (8.65 TW - hole 78) 50m east at the same elevation.

The intersection in hole 172 (4.0 g/t Au over 9.5m) is located on a 50m section between 100m section lines that returned 9.7 g/t Au over 15.0m (9.4m TW - hole 118) 50m west and 4.1 g/t Au over 16.0m (12.2 TW hole 109) 50m east at the same elevation.

A good example of drilling designed to bring mineralization closer to surface are the intersections in holes 173 (1.7 g/t Au over 22.0m) and 152 (3.0g/t Au over 3.0m), which are located above an intersection of 1.3 g/t Au over 18.0m (16.9m TW) and are -85m and -30m vertical from surface, respectively.

New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program

Galway would like to acknowledge financial support from the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program, which partially funded drilling of the GMZ, Jubilee, and Richard Zones.

Geology and Mineralization

Clarence Stream deposits can be characterized as intrusion-related, quartz-vein hosted gold deposits. They contain elevated levels of bismuth and arsenopyrite in multiple quartz veins, with significant antimony in the South and North Zones and tungsten in the vicinity. The Zones contain multiple zones of quartz veining with sulfides and sericite alteration. In general, mineralization at Clarence Stream consists of 10-70% quartz stockworks and veins with 1-5% fine pyrite plus pyrrhotite plus arsenopyrite in sericite altered sediments. The South and North Zones also contain stibnite. Locally there is up to 10% sphalerite and semi-massive galena veinlets. The 3.0 km trend that hosts the GMZ, Richard and Jubilee Zones is associated with a mineralized mafic intrusive locally - similar to the South Zone, which currently hosts most of the property's last reported gold resources (September 2017). A more complete description of Clarence Stream's geology and mineralization can be found at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.

Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports

Michael Sutton, P.Geo., Director and VP of Exploration for Galway Metals, is the Qualified Person who supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of Galway Metals Inc. 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. 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%.

About the Company

Galway Metals is well capitalized with two projects in Canada: Clarence Stream, an emerging gold district in New Brunswick, and Estrades, the former producing, high-grade, gold-rich VMS polymetallic mine in Quebec. The Company began trading on January 4, 2013, after its successful spinout to existing shareholders from Galway Resources following the completion of the US$340 million sale of that company. With substantially the same management team and Board of Directors, Galway Metals is keenly intent on creating similar value as it had with Galway Resources.
