Galway Metals Intersects 29.1 g/t Gold over 4.0m; Including 68.2 g/t over 1.5m at the South Deposit
Rhea-AI Summary
Galway Metals reported assay results from 11 diamond drill holes at the South Deposit of its Clarence Stream gold project in New Brunswick. Notable intersections include 29.1 g/t gold over 4.0 metres (including 68.2 g/t over 1.5m) in hole CS-407, and 2.0 g/t gold over 8.0 metres in CS-401. The project has a 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate of 922,000 oz indicated (12.4 Mt @ 2.3 g/t Au) and 1.334M oz inferred (16.0 Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au). The company confirms high-grade gold continuity at depth in the South deposit, which is expected to be the starter pit. Additional drilling at the Southwest deposit has intersected visible gold zones, extending mineralization by 140 metres north.
Positive
- High-grade gold intersection of 29.1 g/t over 4.0m, including 68.2 g/t over 1.5m
- Confirmation of gold continuity at depth in South deposit
- Extension of mineralization by 140m north at Southwest deposit
- Substantial existing resource of 922,000 oz indicated and 1.334M oz inferred
- Government financial support through New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program
Negative
- Drill hole CS-404 abandoned before target depth due to bad ground conditions

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 2, 2024 / Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV:GWM)(OTCQB:GAYMF) (the "Company" or "Galway") is pleased to report assay results from 11 diamond drill holes from the South Deposit at the Company's
"The drill results confirm high-grade gold continuity at depth in the South deposit and we believe expanding this deposit is a top priority because it will most likely be the Clarence Stream starter pit. Expect the remaining South Deposit assays to be released in the coming weeks." states Rob Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway. He adds "Follow up drilling at the Southwest deposit has intersected two visible gold zones, which will extend mineralization at least 140 metres towards the north. We will have a dedicated rig expanding the Southwest deposit all winter and expect these assays to be released in early 2025."
Highlights
CS-407 intersected 29.1 g/t gold over 4.0 metres including 68.2 g/t gold over 1.5 metres: Cross Section
CS-401 intersected 2.0 g/t gold over 8.0 metres including 5.9 g/t gold over 2.0 metres
CS-403 intersected 2.6 g/t gold over 5.0 metres including 10.0 g/t gold over 0.65 metres
Gold Continuity Confirmed Below Known South Deposit Resource
The drill holes in this release are located on the eastern side of the South Deposit (Figure 1), with the goal of increasing the resource at depth and along strike. All the drill holes intersected the mineralized structure including the high-grade intercept from CS-407 (Coordinate and Intercept). Drill hole CS-404 was abandoned before target depth due to bad ground and redrilled with hole CS-405. Assays are pending for 13 holes on the Western side of the South Deposit (Figure 2), including the VG zone from CS-414. These holes will be released in the coming weeks.
Southwest Deposit Expanded 140 Metres to the North with VG
A drill rig has been dedicated to expanding the Southwest Deposit to follow up on previous thick, near surface mineralization at the northern area of the deposit (Figure 3). To date 11 additional holes have been completed with hole CL-211 intersecting two zones containing abundant visible gold (Images). This will extend known high-grade mineralization 140 metres towards the North. Results are expected in early 2025.
Geology and Mineralization
The Clarence Stream deposits can be characterized as intrusion-related, structurally controlled, quartz-vein hosted gold deposits. These deposits consist of quartz veins and quartz stockwork within brittle-ductile fault zones that include adjacent crushed, altered wall rocks and veinlet material. The mineralized systems are hosted in intrusive and metasedimentary rocks within high strain zones controlled by regional fault systems. Pyrite, base metal sulphides, and stibnite occur in these deposits along with anomalous concentrations of bismuth, arsenic, antimony and tungsten. Alteration in the host rocks is confined within a few metres of quartz veins and occurs mainly in the form of sericitization and chloritization.
