Galane Gold Ltd. Announces Positive Cash Flows From Galaxy Operations
During October 2019
TORONTO, Nov. 15, 2019 -- Galane Gold Ltd. (“Galane Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GG; OTCQB: GGGOF) is pleased to
announce that during the month of October 2019 the Galaxy operations generated positive cash flows from operations.(1)
In October 2019 Galaxy dispatched 748 tonnes of concentrate at an average grade of 33.18 grams per tonne with payable gold
of 598 ounces. The revenue generated covered the mining costs at Princeton, the tailings retreatment program and the
associated processing costs to produce the concentrate.
Galane Gold CEO, Nick Brodie commented: “This is an important step for Galaxy and ahead of our own internal plans. We
expect Galaxy to now subsidize its own capital expansion and it is a giant stride towards Galaxy being self-funding as we near
the completion of the first planned plant expansion to 30,000 tonnes per month.” (2)(3)(4)

Notes:
1. Cash flows from operations is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to “Supplemental Information to Management’s Discussion
and Analysis” in the MD&A for reconciliation to measures reported in the Financial Statements.
2. This is forward-looking information and is based on a number of assumptions. See “Cautionary Notes”.
3. The Company is not basing its decision to expand the throughput capacity of the Galaxy mine’s processing plant to
30,000 tonnes per month on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability of
production at such levels, and as a result there is increased uncertainty and there are multiple technical and economic
risks of failure which are associated with producing at such plant’s throughput capacity. These risks, among others,
include areas that are analyzed in more detail in a feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources
and reserves, more detailed metallurgy and a number of specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery
methods, market analysis, and environmental and community impacts.
4. The deposits at the Galaxy mine are supported by a technical report entitled "A Technical Report on the Galaxy Gold
Mine, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa" which was issued January 4, 2016 with an effective date of September 1,
2015, a copy of which is available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. This technical report satisfies the
requirements to be a pre-feasibility study.
Non-GAAP Measures
This press release makes reference to certain non-GAAP measures including cash flows from operations. These measures
are not recognized measures under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), do not have a standardized
meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. However,
the Company believes that these measures are useful to assist readers in evaluating the total costs of producing gold from
current operations. For more information regarding the non-GAAP measures used by the Company, see the information under
the heading “Supplemental Information to Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the MD&A. The Financial Statements
and MD&A are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
