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

Marketwired
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;
-- 10.50 g Au/t over 0.65 m (Hole RG11-06, from 49.8-50.45 m);
-- 14.60 g Au/t over 0.35 m (Hole RG11-06, from 55.65-56.0 m);
-- 4.20 g Au/t over 0.3 m (Hole RG11-05, from 108.9-109.2 m);
-- 3.21 g Au/t over 0.5 m (Hole RG11-02, from 197.80-197.30m)
-- 12.05 g Au/t over 0.4 m (Hole RG11-02, from 241.85-242.25m)
-- 4.85 g Au/t over 1.00 m (Hole RG10-02 ext, from 303.00-304.00 m);
-- 14.45 g Au/t over 0.50 m (Hole RG10-07 ext, from 303.00-304.00 m).

(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® 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.
