Galore Provides Update on Drilling at Its Dos Santos Project
Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - June 26, 2019 - Galore Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GRI) is pleased to report that its 2,500-meter diamond core drilling program (see News Releases of May 27 and June 4, 2019) at Galore's 100% owned El Alamo target and part of the larger Dos Santos project continues to progress well. Drill hole EA-001 was completed to a depth of 251m and EA-002 is underway. Senior geologists onsite are enthusiastic about what the drilling has encountered in the way of alteration and rock types. Logging of EA-001 has been completed and the core is currently being sawed and sampled for delivery to ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Zacatecas.
Highlights:
EA-001 was drilled to intersect gold mineralization known to be associated with jasperoid and karst breccias exposed along the El Alamo ridge that trends east west. Surface sampling from shallow trenches completed by Galore contained gold values from below detection
(<0.005 ppm) to a high of 20.4 ppm (Figures 1 and 2).

EA-001 has successfully intersected multiple zones of alteration and brecciation that remains open at depth and extends the known geological target to the north. The drill hole encountered silicified and brecciated limestone similar to those observed on the surface over a much wider zone than was anticipated. The drill hole also encountered several faults and multiple calcite veins with breccia fragments. Alteration of the rock observed in EA-001 includes silicification, extensive iron oxide mineralization, and what is believed to be significant potassic alteration (requires further study). These are visual observations by senior geologists onsite and are not confirmed by analysis; therefore, caution must taken to assume the core samples are mineralized or to what degree until assay results are received from ALS

We thank our many stockholders for their continued support. Galore's future success is found in the knowledge of our project and raising adequate financing to complete the contracted 2500-meter drill program at El Alamo. Galore has further contracted to drill 1500-meters to test the Los Gemelos claim, where visible gold has been observed, but not assayed.
