Toronto, ON – July 28, 2020 – Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV: GWM) (“Galway Metals” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement dated July 27, 2020 (the “Agreement”) with an arm’s length third party royalty holder to buy back a one percent (1.0%) net smelter returns royalty (the “Royalty”) covering certain mineral claims at the Company’s Clarence Stream property in southwest New Brunswick (the “Property”). This is a separate royalty and is in addition to the royalty purchase announced on July 21, 2020. The mineral claims subject to the Royalty cover the Jubilee Zone, parts of the Richard Zone, the recently reported new discovery of 186.5 g/t Au over 0.6m located 950m SW of the Jubilee Zone and other prospective properties.

The original agreement allowed only for buyback of one-half percent (0.5%) of the royalty for $500,000. Galway was able to negotiate with the royalty holder to purchase the royalty in its entirety. Under terms of the Agreement, Galway Metals will pay a total purchase price of $580,000 comprised of a cash payment of $100,000 and 400,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $480,000 ($1.20 per Share).

The transaction is subject to receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Robert Hinchcliffe, President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, commented, “We are pleased to complete a second royalty acquisition at the Clarence Stream Project, and, just as with our first royalty buyback, will contribute meaningfully to further unlocking value of the Clarence Stream land package beyond what we have already accomplished. The royalty holder’s willingness to receive the majority of payment as shares in Galway demonstrates belief in the property and in the Company’s future.”

About Galway Metals Inc.

Galway Metals is focused on 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 Ltd. 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 Ltd.
