Business Summary March 25, 2010

Galway Resources Ltd. (GWY), in the development stage as of December 31, 2009, is a mining company focused on advancing exploration projects in the U.S. and conducting exploration for coal and gold in Colombia. Projects include the company's Victorio molybdenum-tungsten project in New Mexico.

The exploration initiative in Colombia is focused on gold and coal, given the country's vast geological potential for these two commodities. The two primary projects are the California gold project and the GALCA coal project. Total expenditures in Colombia during the first nine months of 2009 amounted to C$603,851, with virtually all expenses related to the company's gold initiative.

California (Colombia) Gold Initiative: This new gold initiative was announced on July 28, 2009 and provides the company with a land position in the highly prospective California Gold District. The land package is comprised of 335 hectares along strike and adjoining Ventana Gold's La Bodega/Mascota property and 3 kilometers southwest of Greystar's Angostura property.

GALCA Coal Project: Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company announced the initiation of a drill program at the GALCA coal project in Colombia. The Company has an exploration and joint venture agreement with Prodeco (the Colombian subsidiary of Xstrata), which is the third largest coal producer in Colombia, with 11 million tons of annual coal production. The GALCA coal project comprises 132,000 hectares that Galway believes could host a new undiscovered coal basin that occurs close to surface.

The terms of the GALCA exploration and joint venture agreement include the following: Prodeco will fund the first 19 drill holes, and in consideration for agreeing to fund the feasibility drilling program, will be granted a 60% equity interest in the project. Prodeco will then earn the remaining 40% equity interest in the project by paying Galway an already agreed value per tonne of economically mineable open-cut reserves determined in accordance with the JORC Code, up to US$70 million.

The Victorio Project is an underground molybdenum-tungsten property located in south-western New Mexico. A positive Scoping Study was released on this project during 2008. An NI 43-101 Resource Estimate has also been provided on this project, incorporating 215,000 feet of drilling. During the first nine months, C$96,089 was spent on advancing the Victorio project. Management has curtailed spending on this project due to low molybdenum and tungsten prices.

Glossary

Quantitative EvaluationsIn contrast to our qualitative STARS recommendations, which are assigned by S&P analysts, the quantitative evaluations described below are derived from proprietary arithmetic models. These computer-driven evaluations may at times contradict an analyst's qualitative assessment of a stock. One primary reason for this is that different measures are used to determine each. For instance, when designating STARS, S&P analysts assess many factors that cannot be reflected in a model, such as risks and opportunities, management changes, recent competitive shifts, patent expiration, litigation risk, etc.
