Galway Metals Continues to Demonstrate Broad Gold Mineralization at Southwest Deposit; 2.0 g/t Gold Over 68.0 Metres
Rhea-AI Summary
Galway Metals (OTCQB:GAYMF) reported new assay results from 14 diamond drill holes at the Southwest Deposit of its 100%-owned Clarence Stream Gold Project in New Brunswick. Key intercepts include hole BL-328 with 2.0 g/t Au over 68.0 metres, followed 7 metres downhole by 1.0 g/t Au over 52.0 metres, and BL-311 with 3.3 g/t Au over 23.0 metres plus multiple additional mineralized intervals.
According to Galway Metals, the drilling both infills the current Mineral Resource and tests extensions at depth and along strike. Clarence Stream’s 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate stands at 27.2 Mt at 1.62 g/t Au (1.42 Moz) Indicated and 28.5 Mt at 1.40 g/t Au (1.29 Moz) Inferred. Results will feed into the ongoing PEA and resource model refinement.
Positive
- BL-328 intersected 2.0 g/t Au over 68.0m plus 1.0 g/t over 52.0m
- BL-311 returned 3.3 g/t Au over 23.0m with multiple additional mineralized zones
- BL-329 intersected 3.2 g/t Au over 11.0m, including high-grade 17.0 g/t over 1.0m
- BL-294 returned 2.3 g/t Au over 16.0m, supporting along-strike continuity
- Clarence Stream 2026 Mineral Resource: 1.42 Moz Indicated and 1.29 Moz Inferred
- Core recovery in mineralized zones averaged 99% with ISO/IEC 17025-accredited labs and QA/QC
Negative
- None.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / August 24, 2026 / Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V:GWM)(OTCQB:GAYMF) (the "Company" or "Galway") is pleased to report assay results from 14 diamond drill holes completed at the Southwest Deposit within its
Rob Hinchcliffe, President and CEO, commented "These latest results continue to demonstrate the impressive widths and continuity of gold mineralization within the Southwest Deposit. BL-328 is particularly encouraging, returning 2.0 g/t gold over 68.0 metres followed just seven metres later by another 52-metre interval grading 1.0 g/t gold. Together with the multiple mineralized zones intersected in the deeper BL-311 hole, these results demonstrate that the mineralized system continues to depth. As we advance the Clarence Stream PEA, our drilling program remains focused on increasing confidence in the existing resource while continuing to test the extent of mineralization within and beyond the current resource model."
Highlights (Plan Map)
BL-328 intersected 2.0 g/t Au over 68.0m (section 1)
Including 54.4 g/t Au over 1.0m, 9.4 g/t Au over 1.0m and 8.7 g/t Au over 1.0m
Additional intercept of 1.0 g/t Au over 52.0m, beginning only 7.0 metres below the 68.0m interval.
BL-311 intersected 3.3 g/t Au over 23.0m
Including 56.2 g/t Au over 1.0m and 5.5 g/t Au over 1.0m
Additional intercepts of 6.3 g/t Au over 5.0m including 24.7 g/t Au over 1.0m, 9.0 g/t Au over 3.0m including 26.6 g/t Au over 1.0m, 1.5 g/t Au over 12.0m and 1.6 g/t Au over 11.0m
BL-329 intersected 3.2 g/t Au over 11.0m
Including 17.0 g/t Au over 1.0m and 14.7 g/t Au over 1.0m
BL-294 intersected 2.3 g/t Au over 16.0m (Section 2)
Including 9.2 g/t Au over 3.0m and 4.1 g/t Au over 1.0m
Continuity of Mineralization at the Southwest Deposit
The latest drilling at the Southwest Deposit continues to demonstrate broad and continuous zones of gold mineralization while increasing drill density within the current Mineral Resource and testing mineralization beyond existing resource blocks and at depth. Infill drilling is being completed at approximately 25-metre spacing to increase geological confidence within the current Mineral Resource, while expansion drilling is testing mineralization outside the current resource block model, both within and beyond the 2026 Mineral Resource pit shell.
BL-328 returned two exceptionally broad zones of gold mineralization, intersecting 2.0 g/t Au over 68.0 metres followed, after only 7.0 metres, by a second interval grading 1.0 g/t Au over 52.0 metres. The hole tested an area containing both modeled mineralization and gaps between existing resource blocks, with the broad intervals demonstrating strong continuity through this portion of the Southwest Deposit.
On the same section, BL-329 intersected 3.2 g/t Au over 11.0 metres in the shallower portion of the mineralized system, while the deeper BL-311 intersected multiple zones of gold mineralization, including 3.3 g/t Au over 23.0 metres, 6.3 g/t Au over 5.0 metres, 9.0 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, 1.5 g/t Au over 12.0 metres and 1.6 g/t Au over 11.0 metres. Collectively, the three holes demonstrate mineralization extending from the shallower portions of the Southwest Deposit to significantly greater depths and support the interpretation of a broad, multi-horizon mineralized system that continues at depth.
Elsewhere within the Southwest Deposit, BL-294 intersected 2.3 g/t Au over 16.0 metres, including 9.2 g/t Au over 3.0 metres and 4.1 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, providing additional confirmation of mineralization along strike. These results will be incorporated with ongoing drilling to further refine the geological model and evaluate opportunities for resource expansion at the Southwest Deposit.

Geology and Mineralization
Gold-antimony mineralization at Clarence Stream is structurally controlled and associated with quartz veins and quartz stockwork developed within brittle-ductile fault zones hosted in both intrusive and metasedimentary rocks. Mineralization is associated with pyrite, base-metal sulphides, and stibnite, along with anomalous concentrations of bismuth, arsenic, antimony, and tungsten. Alteration within host rocks is typically confined to a few metres surrounding quartz veins and is characterized primarily by sericitization and chloritization. A more detailed description of the Clarence Stream geology and mineralization is available at www.galwaymetalsinc.com.
