Galway Metals Connects GMZ to Adrian and Richard Zones with 4.0 g/t Au Over 41.2m Plus 7.3 g/t Au over 13.5m, and 1.4 g/t Au over 34.5m; GMZ Expands with 4.4 g/t Au over 21.35m; Adrian Extends by 50m with 0.6 g/t Au over 47.0m

(Toronto, Ontario, March 2, 2021) – Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GWM, OTCQB: GAYMF) (the “Company” or “Galway”) is pleased to report drill results that expand the George Murphy Zone (GMZ) in multiple directions, and the connecting of the GMZ to the Adrian Zone (to the north) and the GMZ to the Richard Zone (to the southwest), which was previously connected to the Jubilee Zone (to the southwest). As such, all four zones that Galway has focused its drilling on during the past four years at the Company’s Clarence Stream gold project in southwest New Brunswick, Canada, have now been connected along 3.1km of strike length (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Highlights include:

• Galway has eliminated the 400-metre gap between the GMZ and Richard Zones – the Zones are now connected. Previously-released 1.3 g/t Au over 41.2m (now 42.0m) in hole 189 and 1.4 g/t Au over 13.5m, plus 1.2 g/t Au over 9.0m, plus 0.8 g/t Au over 13.0m, plus 1.3 g/t Au over 5.0m, plus 1.0 g/t Au over 5.0m in hole 185 were located in the gap. New results in the gap include 1.4 g/t Au over 34.5m in hole 188 and 1.3 g/t Au over 42.0m in hole 189, among others. Also in this previous gap area is a new intersection in hole 186 of 0.8 g/t Au over 25.5m, which is in addition to that hole’s previously-released intersect of 18.8 g/t Au over 6.0m
• The GMZ East Area has been extended deeper below several previously released intersections, including 40m deeper by hole 152, which intersected 4.0 grams per tonne (g/t) over 41.2 m and 75m deeper by hole 150, which intersected 4.7 g/t Au over 11.7 metres, (Figure 3)
• The GMZ and Adrian Zones were connected through previous drilling, but the new intersection of 7.3 g/t Au over 13.5m in hole 152 is the closest to where the two zones join together. This intersect is within the Adrian Zone but only 12m from the wireframed GMZ Zone. The previously released intersection of 5.8 g/t Au over 55.5m (hole 122) is located 143m away from the 7.3 g/t Au over 13.5m (Figure 4 and Figure 5)
• The GMZ has bulked up with an intersection of 4.4 g/t Au over 21.4m, plus 0.8 g/t Au over 35.9m in hole 100, located in the former centre of the zone. They are located 47m and 30m from an intersection of 1.9 g/t Au over 95.5m (previously 2.0 g/t Au over 54.0m in hole 97

“We are delighted to not only be releasing these wide and high-grade drill results but to finally prove our belief that these four new mineralized zones are connected, with a total strike length of 3.1 kilometers. This continuity should also enhance the economics of the project. We are looking to have a new resource estimate out by the end of March 2022, which will be the maiden resource estimate for this new area, in addition to an updated resource for the legacy North and the South zones, which have an additional 4.4km of strike,” cites Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals,

“Galway entered into the project in 2016 with a vision of a new emerging gold district in Canada, with 65 kilometers of under-explored strike length, coupled with favorable infrastructure, and our consistent good results continue to demonstrate that vision. Moreover, with intercepts starting right from surface we are looking at open pit potential as well as underground for the deeper mineralization. Following the resource estimate, our drilling program will be focused on making new discoveries, following up on recent discoveries and expanding existing zones.”

Four Zones Joined into One!

The assays from drilling that Galway has been waiting for during the past several months have been returned with good intersections west, east, and north of the GMZ. These and other important holes have now connected all the four zones. The GMZ and the Richard Zones have been connected with intersections of 1.3 g/t Au over 42.0m (hole 189), 18.8 g/t Au over 6.0m plus 0.8 g/t Au over 25.5m (hole 186), and 1.4 g/t Au over 34.5 m (hole 188), and 1.4 g/t Au over 13.5m, plus 1.2 g/t Au over 9.0m, plus 0.8 g/t Au over 13.0m, plus 1.3 g/t Au over 5.0m, plus 1.0 g/t Au over 5.0m in hole 185. These holes are 50-165m apart from one another, and all with steep SE dips. The GMZ has been extended to depth to the NE with intersections such as 4.7 g/t Au over 11.7m, and 4.0 g/t Au over 41.2m.

Size of Adrian Zone Increases

The wide vein zone within the Adrian Zone is located down-dip from the original Adrian discovery holes where the zone appears to flatten and thicken considerably before intersecting the steeper GMZ. It was previously expanded by 44 metres (m) to the northeast with an intersect that returned 5.8 g/t Au over 55.5m in hole CL-122 from a previously-released intersect that returned 1.1 g/t Au over 78.5m in hole CL-52. There were assays pending up-hole from the intersection in hole 122 but only sporadic lower grades were returned despite strong quartz veining there. At only 12m from the wireframed GMZ Zone, the new intersection of 7.3 g/t Au over 13.5m in hole 152 is the closest to where the two zones join together.

Hole 98 intersected 0.6 g/t Au over 47.0m (previously reported as 1.1 g/t Au over 11.5m), which represents the furthest northeastern intersection in Adrian, located 51m east of 0.9 g/t Au over 14.8m in hole 77 in the same zone. The 0.9 g/t Au over 6.6m in hole 92 appears to be the same zone further west, while the 0.9 g/t Au over 7.5m and 22.7 g/t Au over 3.5m appear to be a splay and the continuing vein off of the 5.7 g/t Au over 25.0m in hole 103. The 0.9 g/t Au over 9.0m in hole 118 appears to be this same vein 103m from the 5.7 g/t Au over 25.0m.

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

The discovery of the Richard Zone in hole 12 contains elevated levels of bismuth, arsenopyrite, and antimony, in multiple quartz veins, with tungsten in the vicinity. This is similar to other Clarence Stream deposits, which can be characterized as intrusion-related quartz-vein hosted gold deposits. The Richard Zone contains 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 plus stibnite in sericite altered sediments. The Jubilee mineralization consists of 2%-5% disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite in sediments with white to smoky grey quartz veining. Locally there is up to 10% sphalerite and semi-massive galena veinlets. The 2.5 km trend that hosts the GMZ, Richard and Jubilee Zones contains a mineralized mafic intrusive locally – similar to the South Zone, which currently hosts most of the property’s last reported gold resources (September 2017).

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.
