Galway Metals Extends SW Deposit East by 191 Metres Outside of Resource with 19.1 g/t Gold over 1.05 Metres and with 0.5 g/t Gold over 17.0 Metres

(Toronto, Ontario, September 3, 2023) – Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GWM, OTCQB: GAYMF) (the “Company” or “Galway”) is pleased to report drill results that expand the SW Deposit to the east at the George Murphy Zone (GMZ), and outside of the resource, at the Clarence Stream gold project in southwest New Brunswick, Canada (see figures 1 and 2). Assay results for metallurgical holes drilled at the SW Deposit have been received as well (see Figure 3).  Drill results from the SW deposit west end will be released in the coming weeks.

Quote from the Company

“The SW Deposit, with a previous total strike length of 3.1 kilometers, is still open for expansion to the south, north, east, and to depth,” said Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals. “The results in the Triangle area, which is outside the existing resource, indicate a vast area with potential to increase mineralization. These results to the east and north are promising and will lead to more drilling in those directions in future.”

Highlights include:

• The SW Deposit (GMZ) East Area has been extended 191 metres further east with hole CL-165 intersecting 19.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 1.05 metres on what appears to be a new vein (Figure 1)
• The SW Deposit (GMZ) East Area has had drilling in hole CL-170 intersect 0.5 g/t gold over 17.0 metres located just east of and outside the resource pit
• Drilling 475 metres north of the SW Deposit pit (Adrian Zone) intersected 0.8 g/t gold over 5.5 metres and 0.7 g/t gold over 4.2 metres in hole CL-171
• Drilling 214 metres northeast of the SW Deposit pit (Adrian Zone) intersected 0.6 g/t gold over 12.0 metres in hole CL-155
• Diamond drill core drilled for Metallurgical purposes taken along the SW Deposit has returned 12.6 g/t gold over 18.0 metres in hole MH-07 and 8.6 g/t gold over 24.3 metres in hole MH-16

Results Indicate the SW Deposit is Open East and NE

The Adrian north drill intersections are important because they illustrate there are significant gold intersections located 475 metres from the existing block model.  These drill intersections are well north and east of the Triangle area where Galway is attempting to fill in the area between the new Stewart Zone discovery and the existing resource area. Drilling in the Triangle area has returned intersections such as 8.0 g/t gold over 9.5 metres, 3.9 g/t gold over 6.0 metres, 4.1 g/t gold over 10.25 metres, and 8.6 g/t gold over 2.0 metres along 1,380 metres.  These intersections are not included in the existing resource and are interpreted to dip towards veins in the SW Deposit that are dipping the same way; the Sawyer Brook fault (the main accretionary structure on the property that controls most mineralization) is located there; the area of the triangle is 180% larger than the SW Deposit. The intersection of 0.6 g/t gold over 12.0 metres in hole CL-155 is located well into the Triangle area.

The drill results east of GMZ include 19.1 g/t gold over 1.05 metres, and 0.5 g/t gold over 17.0 metres. These results indicate that the deposit is open in that direction. Previously released results of 0.6 g/t gold over 41.0 metres (CL-166), and 2.0 g/t gold over 14.0 metres (CL-164) were returned after the resource was completed and would also widen and extend the GMZ resource east.

Drilling for Metallurgical Testing and Ore Sorting

Diamond drilling was undertaken to retrieve PQ-sized core (i.e. big core – 85 mm diameter) at Clarence Stream for use in studies to determine the amenability of the mineralization for pre-concentration on site via ore sorting and for metallurgical testing. The first assay results from the new SW Deposit have been received from the metallurgical core holes. No MET work has been conducted on this new deposit. The Clarence Stream work is designed to check five different areas to confirm if conventional cyanide will liberate good recoveries and if gravity recoveries are adequate.

Intersections from the PQ core include: 12.6 g/t gold over 18.0 metres (Richard Zone) and 8.6 gold Au over 24.3 metres (GMZ west). Other intersections are 1.3 g/t gold over 16.0 metres plus 0.6 g/t gold over 15.0 metres (Richard Zone), 1.4 g/t gold over 14.0 metres (GMZ), 1.0 g/t gold over 11.0 metres plus 24.8 g/t gold over 1.0  metres (GMZ), and 1.5 g/t gold over 42.9 metres (Adrian Zone). Drill holes were drilled in the vicinity of specific existing drill holes that provided a range of assays from low-grade to high-grade.

Galway would like to acknowledge financial support from the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program, which partially funded drilling of the SW Deposit.

Clarence Stream 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 3.1 km trend that hosts the SW Deposit is associated with a mineralized mafic intrusive locally – similar to the South Zone. A more complete description of Clarence Stream’s geology and mineralization can be found at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.

The Stewart Zone intersections are located in sediments between two intrusions and mineralization is controlled by fault structures. It was originally drilled to test a modest 61 ppb soil anomaly that coincided with a strong linear magnetic low, and is in quartz veining with associated 1-3% pyrite, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite, very similar to other mineralization in the area. It is located close to the contact with a granite and appears to parallel the contact with multiple veins, at 15 degrees along strike (horizontally – almost north-south) – following a line of soil anomalies, and dipping 40 degrees east toward Adrian. There is also evidence that a second set of veins are in a different orientation, running NE-SW along magnetic lows with corresponding soil anomalies. This is a similar setting, and with similar geochemical/geophysical signatures, as all the other intrusion-related gold deposits and discoveries at Clarence Stream.

Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports – Clarence Stream

The Mineral Resource estimates for the North and South Zones were prepared by Mr. Reno Pressacco, P.Geo, SLR Principal Geologist. The Mineral Resource estimate for the Southwest Deposit was prepared under the supervision of Ms. Valerie Wilson, M.Sc., P.Geo., SLR Managing Principal Geologist.  Mr. Pressacco and Ms. Wilson are Independent Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101 and have read and approved the scientific and technical content of this news release as it relates to the updated Mineral Resource estimates. 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 of the Clarence Stream portion of 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 focused on creating significant per share value through the exploration and sustainable development of its two 100%-owned projects in Canada: Clarence Stream, a new high-grade gold district in SW New Brunswick, and Estrades, the former-producing, high-grade, gold-rich polymetallic VMS mine in the northern Abitibi of western Quebec. Galway’s activities will be conducted while respecting the environment and communities in which it operates. Galway is well capitalized. 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.
