Vancouver, BC, November 14, 2024 – Galloper Gold Corp. ( CSE: BOOM; OTC: GGDCF )
(the “Company” or “Galloper ”) is pleased to announce that Dr. Iliya Garkov, Executive Vice -
President and Chief Operating Officer for Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM), has joined

number of leadership roles within the c ompany and was appointed to his current position in
February 2024, helping grow DPM’s profitability and its market capitalization to approximately
$2.5 billion.
Dr. Garkov was a key contributor to the transformation of DPM’s Chelopech mine into a world-

Galloper’s CEO, Mr. Hratch Jab rayan, commented: “I am delighted that Iliya has joined our
Board as we continue the process of turning Galloper into a leading junior gold company in
Newfoundland with our flagship Glover Island asset. Iliya is highly regarded in the sector and will
bring invaluable new expertise to Galloper to help us take Glover Island to the next level.”
Dr. Garkov commented: “Glover Island is in a prolific geological setting for gold in a rapidly
growing mining area of Western Newfoundland where there are a variety of deposit types and an
important new gold mine (Valentine) slated for production next year.
“I’m looking forward to assisting Hratch and the Galloper team to help unlock the value of Glover
Island where over 100 historical drill holes, plus Galloper’s recently completed first drill holes,
provides us with a wealth of information to build a robust and effective exploration model aimed
at making a significant new discovery.”
Dr. Garkov has a PhD in mining engineering from the University of Mining and Geology St. Ivan
Rilski in Bulgaria and is a graduate of the London Business School Senior Executive Programme.
