Galway Metals Intersects 807 g/t Au Over 1.25m From New GMZ Discovery
Galway Metals Intersects 807 g/t Au Over 1.25m From New GMZ Discovery
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2018 / Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GWM; OTC PINK:
GAYMF) (the ''Company'' or ''Galway'') is pleased to report partial assays results from hole GWM18CL-
26, which Galway showed contained Visible Gold (VG) (VG Photos) (see April 19, 2018) in the recently
discovered George Murphy Zone (GMZ) at Clarence Stream in SW New Brunswick (Figure 1). The
GMZ is located 2 km east of the Jubilee Zone and 4 km west of the South Zone (Figure 2). The
intersection of 807.0 grams of gold per tonne is located at the centre of a 300-metre gap between the two
lines of drilling where the original discoveries were made. The original discovery holes returned
intersections such as 2.2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 11.9 metres (m), 2.1 g/t Au over
7.6m and 0.7 g/t Au over 48.8m. The presence of visible gold is not indicative of the grade or
representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.
Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals, said, ''This is by far the highest grade of gold
ever recorded from all the drilling undertaken by all operators across all of Galway's properties, and it is
located right in the middle of the new George Murphy Zone discovery - not bad for a new discovery that
is just being drilled on a first pass. This reinforces our belief that Clarence Stream is an emerging new
gold district in Eastern Canada.''
New George Murphy Zone Discovery Drill Results
241.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 4.2 metres (m), including 807.0 g/t Au over 1.25 m,
starting at a vertical depth of 73m in hole GWM18CL-26
Soils and Boulders Followed by Drilling Indicate Clear Geological Potential
The new GMZ discovery was found by drilling in the immediate vicinity of a 700m long soil anomaly
where boulders, which assayed 16.5 g/t, 11.5 g/t and 7.9 g/t gold were found by prospector George
Murphy. These boulders are 100-300m south of the GMZ, and like the North Zone, the GMZ is located
north of the major structure in the area - the Sawyer Brook Fault. The South and Jubilee Zones are located
south of the Sawyer Brook Fault. Hence, gold deposits are hosted on both sides of the fault zone. Within
the GMZ, there appear to be multiple veins that trend the same NE-SW direction as the Jubilee and South
Zones (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the location of the new GMZ discovery relative to other zones. Figure 2
also shows that there are many geochemical gold anomalies similar to the GMZ, Jubilee, and the South
and North Zones, which Galway plans on drilling.
Solid success in 18 Months of Drilling, and Prospects Remain Bright
Galway has achieved several milestones at Clarence Stream since it announced its acquisition on August
3, 2016, including the release of 116 drill holes and a 54% increase in the resource, which included the
first-ever pit constrained resource on the property. The Company has also expanded the Jubilee Zone and
made a significant new discovery at the George Murphy Zone, neither of which are included in the
resource. Looking forward, Galway plans on following up on the very strong results received from the
George Murphy Zone, and then move the drill rig to expand the North Zone. Following these rounds of
drilling, Galway plans on releasing another updated resource estimate.
Prior to receiving the assay results reported in this press release, Galway had set 200,000-260,000
ounces as an exploration target for the George Murphy Zone. Parameters used in arriving at this
target is that mineralization would be hosted within a 400m length by 400m depth area and consist of a
10m average width zone at 2.0 g/t from surface to 150m, and a 3m wide zone at 5.0 g/t below 150m. This
was based on the first intersections received, and the presence of wide zones of quartz where narrower,
higher grade intersections have been received. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature.
There is insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource; it is uncertain if a mineral resource estimate
will be delineated.

VG = visible gold. 0.42 g/t Au was used for the bottom cut-off; True widths are unknown. VG in hole 26
was assayed by metallic screens method (856 g/t by Fire Assay). The blank sample following the 807.0
g/t assay ran anomalously for gold and the samples that followed (also part of the quartz zone) will be re-
assayed but will not materially change the results.
True widths are unknown at this time because dips are uncertain; the zone in holes 4 and 15 appear to be
vertical while the quartz in holes 22 and 23 appear to dip at 75° north or south. The VG in hole 26, the
13.8 g/t in hole 22, and the 12.4 g/t in hole 4 all look like they are along the southern contact of a wide
quartz zone. As well, multiple zones of quartz are present in holes 23 (4 zones) and 25 (3 zones), and a
30m zone is present in hole 24. The mineralization consists of 10-70% quartz stockworks and veins with
1-5% fine pyrite plus pyrrhotite plus arsenopyrite in sericite altered sediments. A more complete
description of Clarence Stream's geology and mineralization can be found at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.

Galway would like to acknowledge financial support from the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance
Program, which funded drilling of the GMZ.
Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports
Michael Sutton, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person who supervised the preparation of the scientific and
technical disclosure in this news release on behalf of Galway Metals Inc. All core, chip/boulder samples,
and soil samples are assayed by Activation Laboratories, 41 Bittern Street, Ancaster, Ontario, Canada,
who have ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. All core is under watch from the drill site to the core processing
facility. All samples are assayed for gold by Fire Assay, with gravimetric finish, and other elements
assayed using ICP. The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks and
standards into the sample shipments, as well as instructions for duplication. Standards, blanks and
duplicates are inserted at one per 20 samples. Approximately five percent (5%) of the pulps and rejects
are sent for check assaying at a second lab with the results averaged and intersections updated when
received. Core recovery in the mineralized zones has averaged 99%.

About the Company
Galway Metals is well capitalized with two 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 its 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.
