About the Company

Galway Resources has engaged John Tumazos, of Very Independent Opinion, to help commercialize the flagship Victorio molybdenum project located in southwestern New Mexico. Management is cognizant of the tough market conditions and is thus maintaining a balance of adding value to shareholders while conserving capital. Discussions are underway with a potentially interested party to form an alliance for the second stage of drilling at the Carboluis project in the San Luis coal basin. A separate drilling program will be underway at our GALCA project over the summer, funded by Prodeco (the Colombian coal subsidiary of Xstrata).

    Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as
    that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts
    responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
