Galway Metals: Step Out Drilling Intersects 14.6 g/t Au over 10.2m and 7.3 g/t Au over 4.6m Near Surface at Clarence Stream North Zone
Galway Metals: Step Out Drilling Intersects 14.6 g/t Au over 10.2m and 7.3 g/t Au over 4.6m Near
Surface at Clarence Stream North Zone
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 17, 2017 / Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GWM) (the "Company" or "Galway") is
pleased to announce assay results from 31 diamond drill holes (5,302 meters) at its Clarence Stream gold property located in
southwestern New Brunswick, Canada, drilled in and around the North Zone. Since the Company entered into an option
agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the property on August 3, 2016, 69 holes have been drilled and results from 57 holes
have been reported. On May 31, 2017, Galway announced that it had contracted SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc. to undertake a
maiden pit constrained resource estimate to unlock potential of near-surface, high-grade gold mineralization.
Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals, said, "The ability to fill in gaps from historical drilling programs
was one of the main drivers, among other factors, that peaked our interest when acquiring Clarence Stream. A huge
advantage of getting involved in projects with historical drilling is that it's far more cost and time effective to increase the
size of the resource. 95% of the North Zone resource is currently 360 metres by 320 metres in a bowl shape. The new strong
results are significant because they appear to extend the North Zone 1,250 metres to the southeast and then east."
Highlights of Drill Results Include:
14.6 g/t Au over 10.2 metres (m), including 37.3 g/t Au over 1.1 m, 36.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m, and 31.7 g/t Au over
1.0 m at a vertical depth of 41 m;
7.3 g/t Au over 4.6 m, including 12.4 g/t Au over 2.6 m at a vertical depth of 55 m; and
16.6 g/t Au over 2.1 m, including 32.7 g/t Au over 1.0 m starting at a vertical depth of 28 m.
Results From Galway's First Pass at Filling in Historical Drilling are Promising
The North Zone step out drill program was designed to add to potential near surface resources by drilling many short holes
covering a large area between previously-drilled and well mineralized zones (Figure 1). All three holes noted above, and a
previously reported intersect that contained 2.8 g/t Au over 14.0 metres, including 56.2 g/t Au over 0.6 metres (March 28,
2017), are located approximately midway between the 550-metre gap that separates the main North Zone resource from a
smaller zone to the southeast that is not currently included in the resource. Another zone 840 metres southeast of the main
resource, which contains 5% of the existing resource, will be the target of a future drill program, both to link up and extend
the zones.
Potential Down Dip is Open
Also of significance in Galway's recent drill program are the intersections of 4.7 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 1.2 g/t Au over 5.1m
that are located 200 metres northeast of the 2.8 g/t Au over 14.0 metre intersect noted above. The three holes contain similar
mineralogy, indicating that the intervening area and areas further northeast are potentially mineralized. Holes 106, 108 and
112 (results below) indicate good mineralization in the 400-metre gap area north-south between the intersections in holes
GWM-17-113 and GWM-17-114 and the smaller zone previously identified by the former operator. The zone dips at shallow
angles to the east. These gaps will be drilled in the future.
Strong Soil Anomalies Suggest Link Up with South Zone
All of the strongly mineralized intercepts are located along a strong soil anomaly trend that runs southeast and continues for
2,800 metres to the South Zone, with no drilling having yet been done. Along this trend to the northwest, there has been no
soil testing or drilling; this will become a priority for Galway, especially since the northernmost hole in this area, and indeed
anywhere on Galway's property, intersected 58.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre in a hole drilled by a former operator.
The main North Zone resource hosts drill intersects such as 2.0 g/t Au over 37.4 metres, 7.1 g/t Au over 36.5 metres, 2.8
g/t Au over 19.5 metres and 4.2 g/t Au over 15.0 metres, while the small zones host intersects such as 5.8 g/t Au over 5.0
metres, 1.1 g/t Au over 19.0 metres, 5.3 g/t Au over 13.0 metres, and 9.0 g/t Au over 3.0 metres. North Zone Indicated
and Inferred Resources, cut at 30 g/t Au, amount to 186,000 tonnes grading 7.6 g/t Au for 45,000 oz plus 235,000 tonnes
grading 6.4 g/t Au for 48,000 oz, respectively. On uncut bases, respective Indicated and Inferred Resources amount to 51,000
oz at 8.5 g/t plus 70,000 oz at 9.2 g/t. This North Zone resource accounts for 22% of the total resource at Clarence Stream.
The full resource can be found on our website at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.
Drill Moving to the South Zone and then to Jubilee; North Zone Warrants Future Drilling
The drill has been mobilized to the South Zone to expand the current underground resource with the first pit-constrained
resource, which will also include an underground component. This new NI 43-101 resource estimate is being prepared by
SRK and is scheduled for completion in the September/October period. The drill is expected to be moved again in August
approximately 5-km to the southwest along the Sawyer Brook Fault to follow up on earlier resource-grade drill intersects on
ground previously owned by Jubilee Gold. The North Zone warrants future drilling to fill in gaps and extend the zone, which
is open in all directions.
Galway Metals would like to acknowledge financial support from the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program,
which partially funded drilling of the shallow, high-grade holes that are being followed up.

No top cut has been determined for this new area in the North Zone, pending the delineation of the proper top cut from the
current SRK resource estimate being undertaken. The 14.0 metre intersection in AD17-96 is the width of the quartz vein
zone. The grade of the middle portion may not have sufficient grade to carry both contacts (it averages 0.4 g/t) but is included
here because the distribution of higher grades may not always be on the outside contacts. The appropriate lower cut-off grade
for potential open pit mining has not yet been determined but Galway has been applying a 0.5 g/t cut for illustrative purposes.
Drill holes AD17-97 to 100, 102, 104, 105, 110-111, 115, 118, 120, and 123-125 did not return significant assays.

Clarence Stream Geology and Mineralization
Clarence Stream is located along, and controlled by, the Sawyer Brook Fault boundary of the Gander and Avalon terranes of
the Canadian Appalachians in Palaeozoic age intrusive and sedimentary rocks, which are the primary hosts of gold
mineralization. The deposits are intrusion-related quartz-vein hosted fault-controlled gold with pyrite, base metal sulphides,
and stibnite plus anomalous concentrations of bismuth, arsenic, antimony, and tungsten, with sericitization and chloritization.
Gold is present in two main areas—the South Zone along the Sa wyer Brook Fault and the North Zone 3.5 km NW. The South
Zone is steeply dipping, east-northeast trending, with two horizons identified to date, and multiple shoots extending over
more than 2 km and drilled to a depth of 350 metres to date along contacts and within sheared and altered metagabbro and
microgranite sills and dikes that crosscut the meta-sedimentary rocks and are related to the Saint George Batholith to the
south (presence of hornfels + veined and altered auriferous microgranite dikes + high concentrations of Bi, As and Sb). The
North Zone consists of five lenses within a one km by two km area, is hosted within metagreywacke and argillite, with its
resource in a bowl-shaped structure ~ 3 metres thick (at a 3 g/t Au bottom cut) from surface to 100 metres, and in quartz with
stringers and semi-massive stibnite, arsenopyrite, and pyrite.

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.
