Galway Metals drills 16 m of 2.6 g/t Au at Clarence
Drilling Confirms Continuity as Strategic Antimony Value Buffers Gold Exploration Risks

The news release dated January 7, 2026, reports results from 11 diamond drill holes at the Southwest Deposit of the Clarence Stream gold project in New Brunswick. Key intercepts include 16.0 meters of 2.6 g/t Au (Hole BL-286) and 8.0 meters of 1.8 g/t Au (Hole BL-282). The drilling was designed to connect mineralization between existing 2022 resource pits and test lateral and depth extensions. Management notes that results demonstrate strong continuity along the margins of the resource model, with 32 additional holes currently pending assays for this specific area.
The impact of this news is Routine - Positive. While the intercepts are solid and confirm the company’s internal modeling, they do not represent a "discovery" of a new zone but rather the "de-risking" of the existing resource. - Continuity Confirmation: The results support the conversion of Inferred resources to Indicated by filling gaps between pit shells. - Resource Expansion: Intersecting mineralization below westernmost pits (Hole BL-279) suggests the 2022 resource model remains conservative at depth. - Pending Newsflow: With 32 holes still pending in the Southwest Deposit and previous mentions of results pending for the North Deposit, the company has significant immediate catalysts. - Comparison to Projections: This drilling follows through on the CEO’s June 2025 promise to use a third rig to "connect zones" and "add confidence." The grades (1.8 to 2.6 g/t) are largely in line with the 2022 MRE Indicated grade of 2.3 g/t Au.
Galway Metals is focused on two primary Canadian assets: - Clarence Stream (Flagship, New Brunswick): A 65km-long district-scale project. It currently hosts an Indicated resource of 922k oz Au and an Inferred resource of 1.33M oz Au. Notably, it contains over 25 million pounds of Antimony (Sb), a critical mineral. - Estrades (Quebec): A past-producing, high-grade polymetallic VMS deposit (Gold-Zinc-Copper). It is currently being advanced toward a PEA.
