TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Galway Metals Inc. (TSX-V: GWM) (the “Company” or “Galway”) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced “best efforts” private placement (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$11,500,000, which includes the exercise in full of the agent’s option. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold (i) 4,629,630 units of the Company (each, a “Unit“) at a price of C$0.54 per Unit (the “Unit Price“) and (ii) 11,920,530 flow-through units of the Company that were sold to charitable purchasers (each, a “Charity FT Unit“, and collectively with the Units, the “Offered Securities”) at a price of C$0.755 per Charity FT Unit. Red Cloud Securities Inc. (“Red Cloud”) acted as sole agent and bookrunner in connection with the Offering.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Charity FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Share”) and one-half of one Warrant, which will also qualify as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the exploration and advancement of the Company’s Clarence Stream gold project located in New Brunswick as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes, as is more fully described in the Offering Document (as herein defined).
The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s Clarence Stream gold project on or before December 31, 2026. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Charity FT Units effective December 31, 2025.
In accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”), the Offered Securities were sold to Canadian purchasers pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. The securities issued from the sale of the Offered Securities are immediately freely tradeable in accordance with applicable Canadian securities legislation for Offered Securities sold to purchasers resident in Canada.
As consideration for their services, Red Cloud received aggregate cash fees of approximately C$690,000 and 993,009 non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the “Broker Warrants”). Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at the Unit Price at any time on or before December 10, 2028.
