Drilling Starts At Its Gold Project

TORONTO, ON – Galway Resources Ltd. reported that drilling has commenced on its high-grade California gold project in Colombia. Phase I of the planned program will consist of approximately 4,500 meters of diamond drilling and will test along strike previously identified high-grade gold mineralized structures. A second drill will be added in early January 2010. Phase II will consist of up to 25,000 meters of additional diamond drilling.

"Galway is excited to begin drilling at California. The Company’s land position is adjacent to and along strike Ventana’s La Mascota gold discovery. In the interim, we will be reporting on results from an additional 1,000 geochemical samples, as part of our ongoing exploration efforts," cites Robert Hinchcliffe, President and CEO of Galway Resources.

Drill holes will initially be concentrated in the Pie de Gallo open pit area. Mineralized structures in the open pit are projected to be the same as those that control Ventana’s La Mascota and Las Mercedes gold discoveries. Pie de Gallo is a 300 meter long open-pit that has been mined by artisanal miners for hundreds of years. Numerous high-grade channel samples from outcrops and underground workings in the area have been collected and previously reported on.

The company’s address is 360 Bay Street, Suite 500, Toronto, ON M5H 2V6, 800-475-2412, email: [email protected].
