Galore Resources Updates DOS Santos Core Program, Bonus Payment, Private Placement and Grant of Options
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 13, 2019
GALORE RESOURCES UPDATES DOS SANTOS CORE PROGRAM,
BONUS PAYMENT, PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND GRANT OF OPTIONS
Vancouver, BC: Galore Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GRI) (“Galore” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce that it has drilled four HQ core holes for a total 1,324 meters at El Alamo as part
of a 2,500-meter diamond core drilling program (see News Release May 27, 2019). El Alamo
lies within Galore’s 100% owned Dos Santos project situated about 16 km south of Concepción
del Oro, Zacatecas, Mexico (Figure 1).
The first two holes , EA-001 and EA -002, were submitted to ALS for analysis on July 17 th and
July 31 respectively and will be reported on shortly. EA-003 was terminated prior to reaching the
target depth due to mechanical issues.

Highlights:
Core holes are targeting gold mineralization associated with brecciated limestone within the
Cuesta del Cura formation. The holes have consisted of both angle and vertical holes (Table 1
and Figure 2).

Geological observations from EA -001 were reported previously (see News Release June 26,
2019). A vertical hole (EA -002) was drilled from the same pad site as EA-001. EA-003 was
drilled approximately 140m to the southwest of EA-001 and EA-002 at the same azimuth as EA-
002, but at a minus 60 degree dip. The latest hole, EA -004, was drilled 100m east of EA -001
and EA-002 and drilled to intersect the “north jasperoid”, an area with strongly anomalous gold
values (Figure 2). Vertical hole, EA-005, was collared on the EA-004 pad site.

Drill holes have intersected more extensive zones of pyrite mineralization than anticipated, both
fresh and oxidized . Pyrite and strongly oxidized zones, normally within brecciated l imestone,
are of particular interest based on previous sampling of the surface outcrops that were found to
contain weakly anomalous gold values to high-grade gold values (high of 20g/t Au) from
previous trench sampling. In EA-002, pyrite the main mineralization observed and was noted to
occur in several forms:
1. fine grained disseminated oxidized pyrite,
2. coarse oxidized pyrite occurring along bedding planes and within calcite veins and
veinlets both parallel with bedding and cross-cutting bedding,
3. fresh 'shinny' very fine grained disseminated pyrite within the limestone and replacing
fossils,
4. coarse fresh pyrite within calcite veins.
At this point it is not known what variety of pyrite is of importance to gold mineralization at El
Alamo or if it has any sig nificance. Zones of interest in hole EA -002, based on alteration (iron
oxide, silicification or calcite veining, and pyrite occurrences) are:
0-5m - limestone/jasperoid breccia
27-27.9m- silicified oxide vein
147-193m- oxidized pyrite mainly disseminated
219-280m- mixture of oxidized and fresh pyrite
297-319m- oxide breccia, limestone/jasperoid breccia with pyrite.
Limonite and jarosite are of primary importance as they can be related to the known surface
outcrop samples with anomalous go ld values. Iron oxidation occurs commonly along fractures,
faults, breccias and it is associated with calcite veining. The areas with the most pervasive
oxidation also occur within areas of strong brecciation. Oxidation extends to at least 330m along
structures.

calcite veinlets 267m in EA-002.

All of the El Alamo holes completed to date have intersected multiple breccia zones with
oxidation at fairly deep levels of +300m along structures. A variety of breccia types have been
intersected including:
1. monomictic breccia (limestone only fragments),
2. polymictic (limestone, chert and iron oxide replacement)
3. crackle breccias- limestone, with calcite and iron oxide matrix,
4. fault breccias.

The veining that was observed consists almost entirely of varieties of calcite. The calcite veins
occur as white to light brown narrow veinlets parallel to bedding and as cross cutting veins and
stockwork. Pyrite occurs in the veins at several locations in the hole. Open spaced fracture
filling with calcite crystal growth is common along fractures and also forming vugs or cavities
with clear to white calcite crystals. The largest intersected calcite vein measured approximately a
half meter in length . In Figure 7 below the calcite vein is also bound ed by crackle breccia both
above and below the vein. In addition to the occurrence of pyrite the veins are commonly coated
to some degree with iron oxide.

Sheeted calcite veining on relatively small scale was noted at a couple of locations in EA-002.
These veins show multiple pulses or episodes of deposition of calcite , some of which contain
pyrite, normally the coarse fresh variety.
Drilling is continuing at the project with assay results to be reported as they are received.
