2016. In 2002, he joined Foxpoint Resources (now Kirkland Lake Gold Inc.) where he was instrumental in the

advancement of the Kirkland Lake Gold Macassa mine from its early developments, to the large new

discoveries, through production expansion, and toward the robust producer it is now as Engineering & Production

Manager, and later as Mine Manager. Mr. Middlemiss is a native of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and has extensive

About the Company

Galway Metals is well capitalized with two gold projects in Canada, Clarence Stream, an emerging gold district in

New Brunswick , and Estrades, the former producing, high -grade VMS mine in Quebec. The Company began

trading on January 4, 2013, after the successful spinout to existing shareholders from Galway Resources

following the completion of the US$340 million sale of that company. With substantially the same management

team and Board of Directors, Galway Metals is keenly intent on creating similar value as it had with Galway

Resources.
