NEWS RELEASE
Galway Hires Stephen Poitras to Help Advance the High-Grade
Estrades Gold and Zinc Project
(Toronto, Ontario, October 15, 2025) - Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GWM); OTCQB: GAYMF) (the
"Company" or “Galway”) is pleased to announce the addition of Stephen Poitras as Manager for the
Company’s Estrades Gold and Zinc Project located in the northern Abitibi of western Québec, Canada.
The 100%-owned Estrades Project is a high-grade, gold- and zinc-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide
(VMS) deposit. Historically, Breakwater Resources Ltd. invested approximately CAD$20 million
developing the precious -metal-rich deposit, which was previously mined via a 200 -metre-deep ramp
with production in 1990-1991. Galway is currently advancing a Scoping Study for Estrades, with results
expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. Mr. Poitras will oversee exploration and development efforts
aimed at advancing Estrades and evaluating its broader district-scale potential.
“With gold prices hitting all -time records and a heightened global interest in zinc projects, I love the
timing of having Stephen Poitras join our team ,” said Rob Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway
Metals. “Stephen brings a bundle of energy, ideas, and contacts as we move Estrades forward. The
project is a high-grade VMS system with unusually strong gold content and significant zinc and copper
credits. It also benefits from two nearby mills with idle capacity , presenting potential development
synergies. We’re excited about the opportunity to unlock the value of this project for our shareholders.”
Mr. Poitras is a professional geologist with more than 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and
mining finance. He holds degrees from the University of Waterloo (Engineering) and the Université du
Québec à Montréal (Geology). Over the course of hi s career, Stephen has contributed to multiple
mineral discoveries, including the Éléonore gold deposit in northern Quebec and the Candelones
Extension deposit in the Dominican Republic. He also spent eight years as a mining analyst and
portfolio manager wi th CDPQ, Québec’s pension fund, where he evaluated and financed numerous
mining projects globally.
Mr. Poitras commented, “The Estrades deposit sits in a major mining camp, within 25 kilometres of
three active or former mines. It is a high-grade VMS deposit with unusually elevated gold grades for a
polymetallic system. The 26-kilometre-long trend along the Casa Berardi Break, supported by more
than 100,000 metres of historical drilling, remains underexplored and under drilled. The potential to
expand resources, add new VMS tonnage, and discover additional gold-rich zones along this prolific
structure is enormous.”
Galway Metals continues to advance both its Estrades Polymetallic Project in Quebec and its Clarence
Stream Gold Project in New Brunswick, two 100%-owned assets located in established mining
jurisdictions in Eastern Canada.
