FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2022
GALORE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES EXPLOITATION AGREEMENT
Vancouver, B.C., Galore Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GRI) (OTCQB: GALOF) (“Galore”) is
pleased to announce it has entered into an Exploitation Agreement between Oztoc Metal
Corporation S. de R.L. de C.V. (“OZTOC”) and Galore’s wholly owned subsidiary Minerales
Galore S .A. D e CV. (“Minerales Galore ”). This Exploitation Agreement is an agreement for
mining operation services to “reengage” the mining activities that the previous tenant, URBYASA,
was conducting.
The Company has entered into a 5-year contract with OZTOC to extract available gold at Galore’s
100% owned Duraznillo Ranch, which includes the mining concessions Los Gemelos I and
Duende 7 (“Mineral Claims”) and jointly with Duraznillo Ranch will now be referred to as the
Duraznillo Mine. Mr. Francisco Garza V argas, who participated in Galore’s recent private
placement financing, is an insider by his shareholding s of 13.09% of the total issued and
outstanding common shares of Galore, and he owns a minority position of 45% in OZTOC.
Highlights to the terms of the Agreement:
(a) Under the Exploitation Agreement, Galore will maintain 100% legal interest and title in
the Duraznillo Mine.
(b) This Agreement is a service agreement , whereas OZTOC is providing mining and
operational services to Minerals Galore.
(c) This Agreement provides for a 30% split of the Gross Revenues in favour of Galore
after payment of government duties and taxes, with the balance of 70% going to OZTOC
for (i) its expenses related to the development and production of the Duraznillo Mine
and (ii) profit from the production of the Duraznillo Mine.
(d) All equipment, maintenance, personnel, permits, fees, expenditures and any and all cost
associated with the mining activities covering the Duraznillo Mine are the responsibility
of OZTOC.
(e) Galore retains the right to conduct any and all exploration activit ies in the Min eral
Claims to further Galore’s technical data base, which may be used by OZTOC to aid in
understanding of the local geology in its operation.
(f) All proceeds from the sale of concentrated material will be handled by a n independent
third-party fiduciary to ensure the integrity.
Galore’s decision to proceed with OZTOC is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves
demonstrating the economic or technical feasibility of the project. There are known risks to such
projects, but these risks lie with OZTOC, which has reviewed the available data on the associated
claims and has taken independent sampling. Galore is not relying on this Exploitation Agreement

for the survival of the Company. The parties intend to proceed to production without the benefit
of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study. Galore cautions that any
production decision made by the parties will not be based on a NI 43 -101 feasibility study of
mineral reserves that demonstrates eco nomic and technical viability and as such, there may be
involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the
interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility
that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations;
commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory,
recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks;
general market and mining exploration risks and production and economic risks related to design
and engineering, manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the
project’s output will not be s alable at a price that will cover the project’s operating and
maintenance cost. Galore’s Management believes this is a very fair and mutually beneficial
agreement to both Galore and OZTOC.
Galore’s President and CEO Mike McMillan states, “This has been a long journey to get to this
point. Throughout the constant delays and time it took to remove URBYASA from the Duraznillo
Mine, we were able to find a great company and a great group of exper ienced professionals to
begin again the exploitation of the Duraznillo Mine. We are very pleased with the quality of people
and passion that OZTOC ’s principals bring to the project. Although this project is undertaken
without a feasibility study of mineral reserves to demonstrate the economic or technical feasibility
of the project, we will be sure to maintain a transparency with our shareholders in what may be
considered a fairly unique approach in the industry”.
OZTOC will begin by assessing the infrastructure, utilities, and equipment that remains at the
Duraznillo Mine . The initial review is expected to take several weeks to complete and once
concluded, OZTOC will determine an estimated time table to begin production. During this
review, OZTOC will apply for any necessary permit s that are not already in place. Galore will
provide further news once OZTOC is at the point of production.
On Behalf of the Board, I am respectfully yours,
Michael McMillan,
President and Chief Executive Office
