Galway Metals Expands Richard Zone Another 100m with 4.1 g/t Au over 16.0m and Gets Deepest Intersection with 10.0 g/t Au over 4.5m

TORONTO, September 9, 2020 - Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV:GWM) (the "Company" or "Galway") is pleased to report assay results from drilling on the west side of the Richard Zone at the Company's Clarence Stream project in southwest New Brunswick, Canada (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The latest results are highlighted by:

• Hole 106 intersected 54.7 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 2.5 metres (m), including 191.0 g/t Au over 0.5m Visible Gold (VG) (previously released), plus 0.9 g/t Au over 54.2m (VG at 200.45m assayed 14.6 g/t Au over 0.5m), plus 10.0 g/t Au over 4.5m, starting at vertical depths of 86m, 196m, and 330m below surface, respectively (Figure 3).The VG at 200.45m is 30m west of an intersection of 44.1 g/t Au over 9.5m (within 10.6 g/t Au over 47.0m) in hole 87. The 10.0 g/t Au over 4.5m is the deepest intersection in the Richard Zone and is generally in-line with the deepest intersects in hole BL20-88 at the neighboring George Murphy Zone that returned 6.5 g/t Au over 14.05m and 4.9 g/t Au over 2.35m at vertical depths of 321m and 335m, respectively.
• Hole 109 is the first of 5 new holes located 100 metres west of the Richard Zone (Figure 4, and Figure 5). It intersected 4.1 g/t Au over 16.0m, including 22.7 g/t Au over 1.0m, and 65.7 g/t Au over 0.5m, plus 1.0 g/t Au over 14.0m, including 7.6 g/t Au over 1.0m, plus 1.3 g/t Au over 5.0m (VG assayed 2.2 g/t), including 3.4 g/t Au over 1.0m starting at a vertical depths of 180m, 221m, and 155m below surface. The other 4 holes are pending assays.

Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals, said, "The Richard Zone has been extended 100 metres west with continuous mineralization now over 400 metres along strike. It has also been extended to depths in-line with the deepest intersections in the George Murphy Zone, and all Zones at Clarence Stream remain open at depth, along strike and laterally. With $22M in cash, Galway's recently expanded 75,000m drill program is fully-funded through the end of 2021. Our aim is to not only expand the existing zones, but to also continue making new discoveries to further demonstrate that Clarence Stream is an important new gold district in North America."

Hole 109 is the first of 5 new holes located 100 metres west of the previous western limit of the Richard Zone; the rest are pending assays (Figure 5). The mineralization lines up nicely with the main (middle) vein. Hole 106 also intersected the main (middle) vein with 0.9 g/t Au over 54.2m, and an interpreted splay structure that returned an interval of 10.0 g/t Au over 4.5m. This latter intersection is the deepest in the Richard Zone. The southern zone (previously-released 54.7 g/t Au over 2.5m) was also intersected in hole 106, and this intersection is interpreted to be the western extension of the discovery hole intersection that returned 7.3 g/t Au over 36.7m, located 184m to the east. Hole 94 was drilled out of the western plunge of the zones, and so missed the mineralization.

Galway's drill program over the next several months is to utilize 5 rigs, up from 3, in the following ways:

1. to continue drilling the 2 gaps between the George Murphy, Richard and Jubilee Zones;
2. to tighten drill spacings in these zones - generally to 50 metres for inclusion in the Q1/21 resource update;
3. to follow-up on the recent new discovery that returned 186.5 g/t Au over 0.6m located 950m SW and along strike of the western-most intersection of the Jubilee Zone;
4. to follow-up on the recent new discovery that returned 13.4 g/t Au over 12.95m located 320 metres NE of a previously-reported new vein intersection of 11.4 g/t Au over 2.0m, including 43.5 g/t Au over 0.5m, which is part of several new veins that had been discovered 75 metres north of the George Murphy Zone (GMZ) and will also be followed up, and
5. wildcat drilling will also take place north of the North Zone, east and north of the GMZ, the new properties acquired in August (following up on historical intersections of 5.2 g/t Au over 2.5m and 3.7 g/t Au over 3.0m, etc., 20 km west of the South Zone), and on the 4km+ high-grade gold-in-soil anomaly beginning 1km on strike to the SW of the new 186.5 g/t Au over 0.6m discovery.

Galway would like to acknowledge financial support from the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program, which partially funded drilling of the GMZ, Jubilee, and Richard Zones.

Geology and Mineralization

The recent discovery of the Richard Zone in hole 12 contains elevated levels of bismuth, arsenopyrite, and antimony, in multiple quartz veins, with tungsten in the vicinity. This is similar to other Clarence Stream deposits, which can be characterized as intrusion-related quartz-vein hosted gold deposits. Richard Zone contains multiple zones of quartz veining with sulfides and sericite alteration. In general, mineralization at Clarence Stream consists of 10-70% quartz stockworks and veins with 1-5% fine pyrite plus pyrrhotite plus arsenopyrite plus stibnite in sericite altered sediments. The Jubilee mineralization consists of 2%-5% disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, galena, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite in sediments with white to smoky grey quartz veining. Locally there is up to 10% sphalerite and semi-massive galena veinlets. The 2.5 km trend that hosts the GMZ, Richard and Jubilee Zones contains a mineralized mafic intrusive locally - similar to the South Zone, which currently hosts most of the property's last reported gold resources (September 2017).

Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports

Michael Sutton, P.Geo., Director and VP of Exploration for Galway Metals, 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 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.
