Galahad Metals Inc./REGCOURT: More Notable Gold Mineralization From Phase II Diamond-Drilling

18/10/2011 2:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Galahad Metals Inc. (or "Galahad")(TSX VENTURE:GAX) is pleased to present assay
results from its recently completed Phase II drilling campaign at the Regcourt
gold Property, 30 km east of Val d'Or, QC. The drilling successfully intersected
targeted sulphide-bearing, gold-mineralized quartz veins in close proximity to
the historic Regcourt Gold Mine workings. 


A total of 854 core samples were collected from the recently completed 13-hole
drilling campaign, which totalled 3226 metres and comprised eleven new
diamond-drill holes and extensions to two Phase I holes (RG10-02 and RG10-07).
ALS Chemex Laboratories in Val-d'Or, QC, carried out the analytical procedures. 


Robin Dow, CEO reports: "Two phases of the drill programme have produced notable
gold bearing intersections in 17 of 22 holes, and now have intersected these
zones almost 100 m below the historic shaft. What is critical is that each hole
is hitting a target defined by the geologists on the programme. This is very
unusual in a narrow vein system, so it is quite a positive note on the
programmes and a credit to the geologists involved. Further Gemcom modelling of
the results is underway, with a third drill programme anticipated for early Q1,
2012."


The results received to date from the Phase II programme support the geological
model of a Sigma-type, hydrothermal, shear-zone associated, gold-bearing
quartz-tourmaline vein system for the Regcourt Project. 


Selected highlights of the analytical results are listed in Table 1, and include:



--  39.50 g Au/t over 1.20 m (Hole RG11-08, from 40.90-42.10 m); 
--  6.33 g Au/t over 0.65 m (Hole RG10-07 ext, from 303.00-304.00 m), and;

(i)All holes are inclined, therefore "From" and "To" distances tabulated  
 are metres down-hole, not vertical metres. Furthermore, calculated       
 intersection "Intervals" are down-hole lengths and not true widths. All  
 assays are reported uncut.                                               



The diamond-drilling program was designed to: 1) target the projected downward
extensions of known mineralized quartz veins; 2) investigate the potential of
previously untested structural features recognized from new geologic
interpretations, and; 3) test the potential of underground IP anomalies detected
by a down-hole IP survey, carried out in December 2010. 


Results of the 2011 exploration programme to date show that: 1) significant
gold-mineralization has been intersected to a depth of 260 m (holes RG10-05 and
RG10-06), nearly 100 m below the historic Regcourt Mine underground workings; 2)
the down-dip extension of an inferred shear-structure, interpreted from the 3-D
Gemcom(R) model was intersected by hole RG11-03 and encountered gold
mineralization at 180 and 260 vertical metres, and; 3) in order to gain a better
understanding of the weak correlation between gold mineralization and the IP
anomalies identified by the December 2010 down-hole IP survey, a systematic
re-sampling of core intervals that transect the IP anomalies is underway (see
Table 2). These samples will be assayed for their gold and whole-rock contents
in order to determine the source of the chargeability and resistivity IP
responses.

QA/QC Procedures

Galahad's procedures for handling and sampling core have been presented in
previous News Releases (see, for example, Galahad News Release dated September
14, 2011). The accredited ALS-Chemex Laboratories Ltd. of Val-d'Or, Quebec is
the only assay laboratory being used for lithogeochemical analyses for this
Project. ALS Chemex has attained ISO 9001:2000 registration, which requires
evidence of a quality management system covering all aspects of the assaying
process. To ensure compliance with this system regular internal audits are
undertaken by staff members specially trained in auditing techniques.
