FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 14, 2023
GALORE RESOURCES PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE DURAZNILLO PROJECT
AND THE FILING OF AN AMPARO
Vancouver, B.C., Galore Resources Inc. (TSX -V: GRI) (OTCQB: GALOF) provides an
update to the current activities at Galore’s 100% owned Duraznillo Ranch, Los Gemlos and
Duende 7 claims (collectively, the “Duraznillo Project”).
On April 11, 2022, Galore announced that it had 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. De CV. (“Minerales Galore”) on the Duraznillo Project. This Exploitation
Agreement was for the re -engagement of mining activities that had been initiated w ith
Urbanizaciones y Acabados, S.A. de C.V. (“ Urbyasa”) in 2018 at the Duraznillo Project . As
previously announced, due to their blatant lack of adherence to the original contract, relations with
Urbyasa had subsequently been terminated and they were legally removed from the Duraznillo
Project site in March of 2022.
On September 22, 2022 Galore reported that Oztoc’s team had been evaluating and remediating
the Duraznillo Project site. Oztoc had gone through every piece of mechanical equipment that
remained on location , invested significant capital in repairs and purchased a great deal of
replacement equipment. After conducting several processing trials, Oztoc determined that in order
to achieve better production levels, a new and much improved processing system needed to be
installed. Oztoc then initiated the purchase of this equipment out of Peru and had been awaiting
its arrival to begin operations.
This equipment arrived in early January, 2023 and was moved to a warehouse in Monterrey,
Mexico. Galore was later informed of this equipment going offsite due to some problems
encountered with the past Urbyasa group and concerns for their safety. This interference created
caution in Oztoc investing the additional money that was necessary to move this mine to
productivity. For the past few months this has resulted in the Duraznillo Project being an on again
and off again enterprise , which has now resulted in Galore request ing Oztoc to rescind the
Exploitation Agreement. Galore is of the position that Oztoc has not lived up to its responsibilities
set out under the Exploitation Agreement. Discussions are still ongoing and we anticipate an
amicable solution in the coming weeks. Galore is presently interviewing professional security
companies that work in the area to provide safeguarding services for the Duraznillo Project. This
does not negate the significance of the Duraznillo Project and the opportunities it affords.
This second attempt to work with external parties to make a producing mine out of the Duraznillo
Project, has lead management to consider other alternatives , such as offer ing this prospective
Duraznillo Project for sale and return to focusing attention on our core business of exploring and
drilling our best targets.

Additionally, due to some recent changes in the mining laws, enacted by the Mexican Government,
Galore employed the services of Marquez & Castelazo Law firm in Mexico to file an Amparo
(injunction). An Amparo is a constitutional remedy that protects individuals and entities against
violations of their constitutional rights, in which this Amparo is the only legal remedy to challenge
the constitutionality of the new mining law s. In the case of the Mining Concessionaires, it is
important to exercise this right and obtain a resolution to make sure the authority will respect rights
of previous concessions.
On behalf of the board, we assure you that we take all of these issues seriously and we are dealing
with them, in the best interest of our stockholders.
Respectfully yours,
Michael McMillan,
President and Chief Executive Office
