About the Company Galway Resources is a well capitalized company, primarily focused on the exploration for gold in Colombia, and also has exposure to coal through a joint venture with Glencore's Colombian coal subsidiary, Prodeco. The gold initiative is focused in northeast Colombia, in the state of Santander, in the California and Vetas gold districts. In California, the Company has amassed a strategic gold-bearing land package, and is currently engaged in an active drill program. There are currently two diamond drill rigs operating, with a third scheduled to arrive at the project site within the next two weeks. Galway's California project is adjacent to, and along strike with Ventana's La Mascota gold discovery, and is 3.0 kilometers to the southwest of, and along strike with Greystar Resources' 9.7 million ounces of measured and indicated resources contained in the Angostura gold deposit. The Vetas gold project, which includes the Reina de Oro gold mine, is 8 kilometers southeast of the California gold district. Reina de Oro has been in production for 500 years and is the largest operating gold mine in the area. Extensive underground channel sampling has been completed, data compilation and permitting for the drill program is currently underway and the Company plans to commence drilling when all permits are received. Actions are underway to re-commence the drilling program at its GALCA coal project. This drilling program, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2009, is being managed and funded by Prodeco, the Colombian subsidiary of Glencore. Efforts are underway to secure access from GALCA property owners to move the drill rig to the next set of planned drill holes. For further information contact: Galway Resources Ltd.
