Galway Gold Provides Corporate Update And Awards Incentive Stock Options


Toronto, Ontario: June 4, 2013 - Galway Gold Inc. (TSX V: GLW) ("Galway Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has awarded 7 million incentive stock options exercisable at C$0.20 per common share and expiring on June 4, 2023, to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. This is the first grant of options and is in compliance with terms of the Company's Stock Option Plan and remains subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Galway Gold is well capitalized with $16.3 million in cash at March 31, 2013. The Company began trading on January 21, 2013, after the successful spinout to existing shareholders of Galway Resources following the completion of the $340 million sale of that company, which closed in December 2012.

Corporate Update
At the end of April the Company completed Phase 1 drilling which comprised 89 drill holes and over 46,000 meters. The drills will remain on site and at the optimum time, drilling can be recommenced at will. In the near term, the Company will be analyzing all relevant data in an effort to maximize efficiency for the Phase 2 drilling program. Additional drilling will be undertaken once the new information is interpreted and incorporated into a revised model of the zones. Future drilling will focus on delineating the resource by expanding it into areas identified by the new interpretation as being priority, and extending the various veins beyond defined limits.

The El Volcan mine is a high grade, narrow vein mine with over 2,000 meters of accessible underground workings. El Volcan, which has been in operation for over 400 years and is still operating today, is the largest mine in the Vetas-California-Surata region of Colombia. The Phase 1 geological data and assay results confirm the company's belief that there exists potential for a high grade commercial discovery.

Galway Resources began drilling the Vetas Project in April 2011, with the focus to test for a continuation of mineralization below the El Volcan mine, strike and lateral extensions to the mine, as well as to evaluate 7 surface geochemical/geophysical anomalies that have been identified. Results from over 40,000 meters, or 76 Diamond drill holes have been released, 60 of which were drilled from underground targeting the El Volcan structure, while the balance were surface holes targeting the intrusive exhibiting stockwork veining along its western border with CB Gold Inc.

The number of veins has now doubled to 16 from the 8 previously established veins as reported on March 21, 2013. The Company has also more than doubled the depth at which gold mineralization was originally identified below the main (Reina de Oro) level to 710 meters, or 900 meters below surface. All 16 veins at El Volcan are open in every direction. In the 60 underground drill holes reported to date, Galway has intersected 5 g/t Au or more 266 times, 20 g/t Au or more 82 times, 50 g/t Au or more 35 times, 100 g/t Au or more 16 times and 1,000 g/t or more two times.


Highlights of underground drilling results released from El Volcan:
  • 1,082.6 g/t Au and 718.0 g/t silver (Ag) over 1.21 m, plus 77.1 g/t Au and 51.3 g/t Ag over 1.13 m, plus 95.6 g/t Au over 1.26 m, plus 17.8 g/t Au and 77.7 g/t Ag over 2.34 m from GWY-V021

Mineralization

For the surface geology along the western border of the Reina de Oro concession, mineralization is hosted by veins and stockwork zones in gneiss and a quartz diorite with potassic alteration (secondary biotite and K feldspar). The mineralization also includes zones of high-grade gold-silver veins (La Ara�a, Piedra Colorada and El Coco, among others).


Gold mineralization at the El Volcan mine contains favorable steeply dipping quartz veins in competent host rocks. The geometry of the veins and the wallrock competency may allow low adoption of a lower cost underground mining method like long hole stoping. The known vein system comprises 16 different epithermal veins and numerous subordinate splay veins trending NNE and dipping sub-vertically to the NW. The main quartz veins, together with splay veins, are spatially associated with shear zones hosted in porphyry and metamorphic gneiss, much like the California gold district. Grey chalcedonic quartz, colloform banded texture, vuggs and drussy quartz, with fine pyrite crystals are typical. Classic low sulfidation vein textures are common.

Rapid evaluation of the Vetas Project is possible using channel sampling from the 2,000 meters of accessible underground workings, and from drill results. Existing multiple vein structures that are in close proximity to one another and open in all directions provide an excellent opportunity to build a gold resource. A total of 7,345 meters of drifts were mapped and 3,769 chip and channel samples were taken from vein, wall rock and stockwork mineralization between vein sets. The mine covers an area of 500 meters x 300 meters with a vertical extent ranging up to 300 meters. Drilling is testing multiple veins at 25-50 meter centers.

Supervision, Qualified Person and Quality Control
The Vetas Project is under the supervision of Project Manager Alex Cruz, of Quito Ecuador. In compliance with National Instrument 43-101, Mr. Mike Sutton, P.Geo. and Mr. Dale Schultz, P.Geo. (Manitoba and Saskatchewan) of Buscore Consulting Limited (www.buscore.net) are the Qualified Persons responsible for the accuracy of this news release. Samples from the Vetas Project are sent to the Acme Labs preparation facility in Medellin, Colombia, for processing and are analyzed at Acme Labs laboratory in Vancouver, Canada. There is no relationship between the assay laboratory and Galway Gold. Surface rock samples are analyzed for Au by a 30g fire assay and AAS finish method (code G601) plus a multi-element suite with an aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS finish (code 1F04). Underground samples are analyzed by G601 and 1F04 methods and over limits of Ag >100ppm and Cu-Pb-Zn >1% by an ore grade determination with an aqua regia digestion and analysis by ICP-ES (Code 7AR2). If strong mineralization or visible gold is observed, then a screen metallic assay for Au (code G615) is used. Acme Labs is an ISO 9001:2008 qualified assayer that performs and makes available internal assaying controls. Quality control protocols by Galway Gold that are in place consist of the insertion of one blank at least every 20 samples, a reject duplicate every 20 samples, and one of three different certified reference standard material for every 20 rock samples. Core recovery in the mineralized zones has averaged over 90%. Quarter coring of some select samples will take place. Assays reported in this press release may have screen and quarter core assays pending and will be updated in the table on the website as needed.

A technical report on the Vetas Project is filed on SEDAR (the "Technical Report"). The effective date of the report is November 13, 2012 and the Qualified Persons in charge were James G. Lavigne, M.Sc., P.Geo and Elizabeth Elder McMonnies, P. Geo., from RPA Consulting. Galway filed a preliminary NI 43-101 technical report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates on August 24, 2011.
