About The Company
Galway Resources is a well-capitalized company, primarily focused on the exploration of gold and silver in Colombia. The Company has two drill programs underway at the California and Vetas gold-silver projects, located in northeastern Colombia. At California, with 3 drill rigs operating, the Company has reported 150 holes from surface, comprising over 46,000 meters drilled. At the nearby Vetas gold-silver project, where 2 rigs are drilling underground and a third recently started from surface, results have been reported on 24 holes which represents just over 10,000 meters of drilling. The Company also has the Victorio tungsten-molybdenum project, with excellent infrastructure, located in southwestern New Mexico. A positive scoping study coupled with record high tungsten pricing, has prompted management to reassess strategic alternatives to advance this project.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
