Arizona Tribune - Galway Hires Stephen Poitras to Help Advance the High-Grade Estrades Gold and Zinc Project

"With gold prices hitting all-time records and a heightened global interest in zinc projects, I love the timing of having Stephen Poitras join our team," said Rob Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Metals. "Stephen brings a bundle of energy, ideas, and contacts as we move Estrades forward. The project is a high-grade VMS system with unusually strong gold content and significant zinc and copper credits. It also benefits from two nearby mills with idle capacity, presenting potential development synergies. We're excited about the opportunity to unlock the value of this project for our shareholders."

Mr. Poitras is a professional geologist with more than 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and mining finance. He holds degrees from the University of Waterloo (Engineering) and the Université du Québec à Montréal (Geology). Over the course of his career, Stephen has contributed to multiple mineral discoveries, including the Éléonore gold deposit in northern Quebec and the Candelones Extension deposit in the Dominican Republic. He also spent eight years as a mining analyst and portfolio manager with CDPQ, Québec's pension fund, where he evaluated and financed numerous mining projects globally.

Mr. Poitras commented, "The Estrades deposit sits in a major mining camp, within 25 kilometres of three active or former mines. It is a high-grade VMS deposit with unusually elevated gold grades for a polymetallic system. The 26-kilometre-long trend along the Casa Berardi Break, supported by more than 100,000 metres of historical drilling, remains underexplored and under drilled. The potential to expand resources, add new VMS tonnage, and discover additional gold-rich zones along this prolific structure is enormous."

Galway Metals continues to advance both its Estrades Polymetallic Project in Quebec and its Clarence Stream Gold Project in New Brunswick, two 100%-owned assets located in established mining jurisdictions in Eastern Canada.
