Galway Metals Inc. Announces Shareholder Action and Intent to Defend

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 19, 2017) - Galway Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GWM) ("Galway" or the "Company") announces it has received a Notice of Action issued in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Court File No.: CV-17-577025 (the "Action") pursuant to which Jaguar Financial Corporation and Mr. Vic Alboini (collectively, the "Plaintiffs") have sued Galway, its directors and another shareholder (collectively, the "Defendants"). Pursuant to the Action, the Plaintiffs allege that they were oppressed by the Defendants regarding certain matters relating to shareholder meetings held in 2015 at which nominees of Jaguar Financial Corporation were proposed for but did not obtain seats on the board of Galway. Plaintiffs also allege that they "missed the opportunity of making a gain" due to Jaguar Financial Corporation's sale of shares of Galway before increases in the trading price of shares of Galway. The Plaintiffs are seeking damages in the amount of $2,700,000 and certain other relief.

Galway believes that the Action has no merit and intends to defend the Action. Galway has notified its insurers on behalf of itself and its directors. Further announcements will be made on the status of this litigation.

About the Company

Galway Metals is well capitalized with two gold projects in Canada, Clarence Stream, an emerging gold district in New Brunswick, and Estrades, the former producing, high-grade VMS mine in Quebec. The Company began trading on January 4, 2013, after the successful spinout to existing shareholders from Galway Resources following the completion of the US$340 million sale of that company. With substantially the same management team and Board of Directors, Galway Metals is keenly intent on creating similar value as it had with Galway Resources.
