1 SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) was retained by Galway Gold Inc. (Galway) to prepare
an initial Mineral Resource estimate and a supporting independent Technical Report on the
Vetas Gold Project (the Project) located in the Vetas Mining District, Department of
Santander, Colombia. The purpose of this report is to document the initial Mineral Resource
estimate on the Project based on drilling and channel/chip sampling completed to date. This
Technical Report conforms to NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. RPA
visited the property on April 4 to 6, 2011 and again on November 11 and 12, 2012.
The Project is located within the California-Vetas Mining District, which has a long history of
small scale mining and it is considered to be the largest mine in the Vetas-California-Surata
region of Colombia. More recently, the California-Vetas Mining District has been the subject
of modern day exploration and resource delineation projects that have resulted in three multimillion ounce resource estimates.
The Mineral Resource estimate for the Vetas Gold Project dated November 6, 2013, is
summarized in Table 1-1.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the site visit and subsequent review of available data including diamond drilling
data and results to date, RPA offers the following interpretations and conclusions:
Epithermal gold-silver mineralization is the dominant deposit type in the CaliforniaVetas Mining District and application of the epithermal gold-silver and related
porphyry mineralization model is appropriate.
The occurrence of porphyry style veinlets underground at the El Volcn Mine and the
results from surface drilling suggest that a porphyry style of mineralization may be
present on the Vetas property. However, the exploration and development of targets
for porphyry type mineralization, in the district and on the Vetas Gold Project, is still at
an early stage.
The Vetas Gold Project comprises one concession totalling 124 ha. The El Volcn
Mine is the primary target for exploration and resource delineation, however, the
Project also holds potential for early stage exploration and discovery of new targets.
The procedures for diamond drilling used at the Project are consistent with industry
best practices and RPA is not aware of any factors that could materially impact the
accuracy and reliability of the results. The results and interpretation of drilling
completed can support the planning of continued drilling programs.
In RPAs opinion, sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures for the
diamond drilling and exploration programs are adequate.
In the opinion of RPA, the database provided to RPA is acceptable for the purposes
of resource estimation.
Diamond drilling has intersected the major vein structures historically developed at
the El Volcn Mine. In addition, drilling has intersected a number of veins and
structures at positions between, and adjacent to, the interpreted projections of the
major veins. The distribution of vein/structure intersections, including grade and
thickness considerations, suggests that El Volcn Mine mineralization may occur in
an environment of main structures with branching, anastomosing, and linking
structures.
The vein zones defined by diamond drilling in this Mineral Resource estimate are still
open along strike to the southwest and northeast as well as down dip, indicating that
there may be potential to discover and delineate additional resources.
Continued drilling within the domain of the El Volcn Mine as well as below and along
strike is warranted to further explore for and delineate resources.
Page 1-2
www.rpacan.com
Interpretation of the vein zones defined within this estimate, integrated with the
mapping and sampling of the El Volcn drifts, will form the basis for a drill program
focused on resource expansion.
The results of surface drilling on exploration targets are positive and indicate that the
continued development and evaluation of early stage exploration targets on the
property is warranted.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site visits and review of the available documentation, RPA recommends that
the Vetas Gold Project continue to be evaluated.
proposed that includes continued evaluation of the El Volcn Mine, to support a Mineral
Resource estimate, as well additional exploration on potential targets.
RPA has evaluated the interpretation completed to date and concurs with the approach taken
by Galway. In RPAs opinion, Galway should focus on assessing the spatial distribution of
gold grade and thickness of the individual vein structures. In addition, RPA recommends that
Galway:
Select reject samples after receiving the initial assay results in order to ensure that
duplicates are tested using matching analytical methods and that a variety of grade
ranges are covered.
Introduce certified reference materials (CRM) for silver into the QA/QC process,
covering the expected range of concentrations of the deposit, if Galway believes that
silver may potentially represent a payable metal.
Compare the statistics of assays from future diamond drill campaigns with the chipchannel samples if an inverse distance or kriging estimation method is used to
estimate resources.
Page 1-3
www.rpacan.com
Complete additional density measurements for all veins prior to future resource
estimate updates or economic studies.
Galway has proposed the following work plan and budget. RPA has reviewed the plan and
considers the proposed program and budget to be reasonable.
Galway will proceed with the plan contingent on favorable market conditions.
Undertake a concerted effort to channel/chip sample and survey all old workings
above the bottom level of the mine, in a safe manner. It is recommended hiring local
miners to re-install ladders, etc. RPA believes that a Mineral Resource estimate can
be prepared based on the sampling of mine areas without the need to drill, which is
much more cost effective.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The Vetas Gold Project is located in the Department of Santander, in northeastern Colombia,
approximately 400 km north of Bogota and 41 km northeast of Bucaramanga. The property
is located at 7 20 North Latitude and 72 52 West Longitude within the historic CaliforniaVetas Mining District in the Santander Massif of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes
Mountains.
LAND TENURE
The Vetas Gold Project consists of the Reina de Oro concession, which is approximately 124
ha. The Reina de Oro concession includes the El Volcn Mine. The El Volcn Mine is
currently owned and operated by Empresa Minera Reina de Oro Ltda. (Empresa), a private
company.
On January 26, 2010, Galway announced that it had entered into a binding agreement to
acquire a 100% interest in the Reina de Oro and the partially contiguous Coloro property and
could explore within the mine and on the two concessions.
announced that it had terminated the option agreement pertaining to the Coloro concession.
Galway had conducted extensive surface sampling and geophysical surveys and a drill
program, which did not identify any significant results on the Coloro concession.
The Vetas Gold Project is governed by the 2001 Colombian Mining Code. As of the date of
this report, the Project is not located within the protected Pramo zone and will not be
affected by the currently proposed San Turbn Natural Park.
Page 1-6
www.rpacan.com
SITE INFRASTRUCTURE
The El Volcn Mine has been producing gold intermittently for over 400 years, and
continuously for approximately 60 years and is currently producing at a reported rate of
approximately 10,000 tonnes per year. With this mining history, the Vetas District, including
the El Volcn Mine, has attracted an experienced work force. The area is serviced by the
national power grid, land telephone lines, and cellular telephone service. Basic supplies are
available in Vetas; otherwise all supplies and equipment are transported from Bucaramanga.
HISTORY
The Vetas District has a long history of mining dating back to Pre-Colombian time. The El
Volcn Mine has been in continuous production for approximately 60 years and has
produced an estimated 190,000 ounces of gold. Current mining at the El Volcn Mine is
typical of the labour intensive mining methods with development primarily in mineralization.
Prior to the current activities of Galway, no diamond drilling was completed on the Reina de
Oro concession including the El Volcn Mine. RPA is not aware of any historical resource
estimates for the El Volcn Mine. The exploration work completed by Galway is the first
modern day exploration carried out on the property. Galway initiated the first diamond drilling
program on the property on April 4, 2011.
The Vetas Gold Project is located within the Santander Massif of the eastern Cordillera of the
Andes Mountains, which includes rocks that range in age from the Precambrian Guyana
Shield to the Tertiary intrusive porphyry. In the California-Vetas District, a fault bounded
domain of dominantly Jurassic aged intrusive rocks, intruding Precambrian metamorphic
rocks is bounded to the west and east by dominant Precambrian metamorphic rocks and
Cretaceous aged sedimentary rocks, respectively. The property is underlain dominantly by
grey to black amphibolitic gneiss. Three intrusive rock types are recognized on the property
intruding the gneiss: micro granite, quartz diorite, and dacite porphyry.
intrusive rocks are interpreted to be part of the Jurassic intrusive complex and the dacite
porphyritic rock is interpreted to be part of the younger, possibly Tertiary aged, intrusive
event. The gold-silver mineral deposits of the California-Vetas District belong to the class of
epithermal gold-silver deposits. At the El Volcn Mine, mineralization occurs within a swarm
of northeast striking, vertical to steeply north-dipping tabular, sub-parallel, and occasionally
intersecting or sigmoidal quartz veins. The western portion of the Reina de Oro concession
is structurally complex and marks the intersection of east-west trending structures and
Page 1-7
www.rpacan.com
northeast-southwest trending structures. The veins occur within a zone 250 m wide by 550
m long and extend beyond these limits of the mine to the northeast and southwest. The
known vertical extent of the veins is 600 m below the current mine working; however, the
lower limit of the mineralization has not been defined. The veins are hosted dominantly by
gneiss and occur also at the gneiss-intrusive rock contacts. The alteration envelopes or
selvages are a few centimetres up to several metres in width and consist of pervasively
phyllic and argillic altered gneiss often accompanied by disseminated sulphides and/or
quartz veinlets.
The veins are irregular in width, with occasional vugs, and often have
colloform or crustiform texture. They consist generally of grey to off-white finely crystalline
quartz or microcrystalline chalcedony interbanded with darker grey adularia and
accompanied by minor sulphides consisting of pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.
EXPLORATION
Exploration
In addition, Galway has completed a sampling program of ore feed into the El Volcn gold
recovery plant and has sampled tailings at the end of the gold recovery circuit and prior to
disposal.
DRILLING
No drilling has historically been completed on the Vetas property. The first drilling on the
property was initiated underground at the El Volcn Mine by Galway on April 4, 2011.
The
underground drilling tested the down dip and along strike extension of the mineralization
below the current mining level (~3420 RL) and to the southwest and northwest of the El
Volcn Mine. This resulted in the discovery of the La Virgen vein zone and sub-zones.
anomalies along the western limits of the Reina de Oro concession. A small number of
surface holes were also drilled by Galway on the Coloro concession but, as mentioned
earlier, no significant results were encountered and the exploration permit was terminated.
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023
Technical Report NI 43-101 November 6, 2013
Page 1-8
www.rpacan.com
Galway has completed 68 holes for a total of 33,238 m of HQ, reduced to NQ, diamond
drilling in the underground program. This includes 34 holes drilled from Drill Station 1 in a
generally easterly direction and 26 holes drilled from Drill Station 2 in a generally westerly
direction, and eight holes drilled from Drill Station 3 in an easterly direction.
The surface program at the Project includes 23 HQ, reduced to NQ, diamond drill holes for a
total of 13,737 m. Except for two drill holes at Coloro, the surface drilling has been focused
on a stockwork zone of mineralization located near the western property boundary and
adjacent to the area where CB Gold Inc. has reported positive drilling results. In addition, in
the same area, two secondary targets defined by coincident MMI and IP chargeability
anomalies have been tested on their western flank.
The procedures for diamond drilling used at the Project, both underground at the El Volcn
Mine and on surface, are consistent with industry best practices. They include surveying the
location and orientation of the drill set-ups, downhole surveying at regular intervals,
documentation of core recovery, and conventional and industry standard logging and
sampling procedures. Core recovery is reported to average over 90% in the mineralized
zones. RPA has reviewed the results of the QA/QC program implemented by Galway and
considers them to be acceptable for Mineral Resource estimation. RPA is not aware of any
factors that could materially impact the accuracy and reliability of the results.
RPA has carried out an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the unmined area below the
bottom level of the El Volcn Mine using the polygonal method. The estimate is based
primarily on information from underground diamond drilling and development chip sampling.
Thirteen wireframes representing eight vein zones were constructed based on drill hole
intercepts provided by Galway, assay grades, and the position of those assay grades relative
to existing mine workings.

EMPRESA OPERATION
The El Volcn Mine, which has been in continuous operation since the 1950s, is owned and
operated by Empresa using small scale tracked/manual methods with current production of
approximately 40 tpd with an average grade of 9.5 g/t Au.
The minesite includes a small gold processing metallurgical facility that is reported to
produce an average of 500 oz of gold per year over the past five years. Ore is sent to a
crushing circuit and the product is forwarded to a grinding circuit. The initial gold separation
step occurs after grinding using gravity techniques (jigs). The coarse concentrate from the
jigs is panned and free gold is recovered. The non-gold fraction of the pan material and the
middlings are sent to a regrind circuit for further grinding. The finer fraction is sent to a heap
leach where a cyanide solution is percolated through the heap. The ensuing gold bearing
solution is sent to a Merrill Crowe zinc precipitation step, which provides for feed to a
precious metals refining step. Gold dor bars result from this refining step.

2 INTRODUCTION
Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) was retained by Galway Gold Inc. (Galway) to prepare
an initial Mineral Resource estimate and a supporting independent Technical Report on the
Vetas Gold Project (the Project) located in the Vetas Mining District, Department of
Santander, Colombia. The purpose of this report is to document the initial Mineral Resource
estimate on the Project based on drilling and channel/chip sampling completed to date. This
Technical Report conforms to NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. RPA
visited the property on April 4 to 6, 2011 and again on November 11 and 12, 2012.
The Project covers an area of 124 ha in the Vetas Mining District, part of the California-Vetas
Mining District, in the Department of Santander, Northern Colombia. The California-Vetas
District has a long history of small scale mining. More recently, the California-Vetas District
has been the subject of modern day exploration and resource delineation projects that have
resulted in three multi-million ounce resource estimates.
Galway is a Canadian mineral exploration company, which, through its wholly owned
Colombian subsidiary, holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Reina de Oro gold
concession in the Vetas District of Colombia. The primary asset on the property is the El
Volcn Mine, which has been in continuous production for more than 60 years and is
currently owned and operated by Empresa Minera Reina de Oro Ltda. Mining is by small
scale tracked/manual methods. Current production rates are reported to be approximately
40 tpd at an average grade of 9.5 g/t Au.
RPA has prepared previous NI 43-101 Technical Reports on the Project (Lavigne, 2011;
Lavigne and McMonnies, 2012).
PRAMO
Pramo is a neotropical ecosystem which in general terms is located above the forest line
and below the permanent snow line, approximately 3,000 MASL to 5,000 MASL. Pramo is
characterized by the occurrence of unique vegetation and in Colombia is protected, with
certain activities being prohibited.
Project in the California District has been suspended due to its location being partly in the
Pramo (discussed in Section 23).

Galway indicates that the Reina de Oro concession is not subject to development restrictions
associated with Pramo legislation. This is based on a letter from the regional environmental
authority Corporacin Autnoma Regional para la Defensa de la Meseta de Bucaramanga
(CDMB) dated December 13, 2010 (Gomez, 2010), which states:
I hereby want to inform that the information provided by Ingeominas of Mining Title
number 14833 [Reina de Oro] was revised, and it is NOT located within the limits of the
current proposal of Natural Regional Park Paramo de San Turbn.
On the other hand, we want to inform you that according to the companys data, there is
a date in the Environmental Guide (GA-0005-2009) that is being followed-up by the
Environmental Authority. For your reference this information is within the process of
Socialization of the Natural Regional Park Pramo de San Turbn project.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Site visits were carried out by James G. Lavigne, Associate Consulting Geologist, RPA, on
April 4 to 6, 2011 and again on November 11 and 12, 2012. While on site, discussions were
held with personnel from Galway including:
Mr. Dale Schultz, Senior Consulting Geologist, Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project
Mr. Alex Cruz, Manager Vetas Project, Colombia, Galway Gold Inc.
Mr. Schultz and Mr. Cruz both facilitated the examination of the property, including the
underground development at the El Volcn Mine, and provided various maps, reports, and
data on the exploration work completed on the Vetas Property. Mr. Cruz provided data and
information on the drilling program completed since the RPA April 2012 Galway Technical
Report (Lavigne and McMonnies, 2012).

Mineral rights in Colombia are reserved to the federal government and governed by the
Colombian Mining Code (Law 685 of 2001).
important role in the mining industry are as follows: (i) the Ministry of Mines and Energy
(MME), responsible for adopting the Colombian Governments policies on: the exploration,
transportation, processing, exploitation and distribution of minerals; and the development of
the mining and energy sectors; (ii) the Servicio Geologico Colombiano (formerly
INGEOMINAS), an administrative body which is currently in charge of managing Colombian
mining resources, however, upon the recent creation of the National Mining Agency (ANM),
the Servicio Geologico Colombiano will become an entity in charge of performing scientific
research of the subsoil resources and will manage the geological information regarding the
mineral resources; and (iii) the recently created ANM, created by means of Decree 4134 of
2011, whose main purpose is to promote the exploration and development of the country's
mineral resources and the granting of areas for the exploration and exploitation of mineral
resources. Additionally, the ANM will be in charge of ensuring that all mining companies
fulfill their obligations under the concession contracts and to act as the mining authority in
relation to royalties, surveillance of health and safety measures, promotion of the mining
industry and management of the mining cadaster.
According to article 474 of the Colombian Commercial Code, obtaining a concession from
the Colombian government or obtaining a concession through an assignment is considered a
permanent activity, thus foreign companies have to establish a branch within the Colombian
Page 4-1
www.rpacan.com
territory in order to apply and hold mining title. Surface rights are not governed by the Mining
Code and must be acquired directly from the surface rights holders.
Decree 2655 of 1988 (the former Mining Code) establishes by means of article 17 four types
of mining title: exploration licenses, exploitation licenses, contratos de aporte, and
concession contracts. An exploration license grants the holder the exclusive right to perform,
in a prescribed area, work directed to identifying commercially exploitable mineral deposits
and reserves. There are three types of exploration licenses: small (up to 100 ha), medium
(100 top 1,000 ha), and large (>1,000 ha) mining activity licenses. The type of exploration
license is determined by the anticipated volume or tonnage of materials to be extracted from
the mine to be developed on the property. During the term of the exploration license, reports
on work performed on the property must be filed with the MME. The MME subsequently
makes a definitive project classification based on the information field. The MME has the
right to reclassify the project every five years during the exploration phase. There is a
maximum size area for each type of exploration license which also determines the term of an
exploration license: small (one year term with possibility of a one year extension), medium
(two year term with possibility of two year extension) and large (five year term with no
extensions).
On the expiry of an exploration license for a small mining activity and any extensions thereof,
the license can be converted, subject to its compliance with prescribed conditions, into any
exploitation license. An exploitation license has a term of ten years which may be extended
for one time for the same term of ten years. On its expiry, the holder can apply for a ten year
extension or conversion of the license into a concession contract.
On expiry of an
exploration license for medium and large mining activities and any extensions thereof, the
license is required to be converted to a mining concession on compliance with prescribed
conditions. There are two types of mining contracts: concession contracts issued by the
MME and the contratos de aporte whereby the MME grants to its related entities the
exclusive and temporary right to explore and exploit minerals in a determined area.
concession contract gives the holder the exclusive right to extract certain minerals and
conduct the activities necessary for exploitation, transport and shipment of the same.
Concession contracts have a term of 30 years.
There are various government fees and royalties payable by mining titleholders. Holders of
exploration licenses for large mining activities must pay a fee equal to the prescribed
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023
Technical Report NI 43-101 November 6, 2013
Page 4-2
www.rpacan.com
minimum daily wage multiplied by the number of hectares covered by the license. The fee is
payable annually until the commencement of commercial production from the property. As of
2002, on commencement of production, a royalty is payable at an effective rate of 4% of the
London gold price on the ounces produced. For underground mines, the royalty is payable
when annual production exceeds 8,000 tonnes and, for open-pit mines, when annual
production exceeds 250,000 cubic metres.
In June of 2001, a new Mining Code (Law 685 of 2001) was enacted that somewhat
simplifies and streamlines procedures for concessions. The separation of concessions into
three different levels for small, medium and large mining no longer exists. There is now only
a concession contract which, once issued, has a duration of 30 years as from the date of the
registration in the National Mining Registry and may be renewed for a term of 20 additional
years if the title holder is in compliance of all obligations. However, concession agreements
entered into before the entry into force of Law 1382 of 2010 are granted for 30 years as from
the date of the registration in the National Mining Registry and may be renewed for a term of
up to 30 years.
however on May, 2011 this law was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
Notwithstanding, the Court considered that the regulations of Law 1382 will remain in force
for two years in order to give time to the Congress to enact a new replacement law. Within
the first 30 year period, there is an exploration phase of three years with a further two year
extension. This is followed by a construction phase of three years with a further one year
extension. Despite these time limits, mining can start any time within this phase. To obtain
the requisite permits to explore the mine the necessary environmental plans and report
studies need to be presented and approved. According to article 349 of Mining Code, titles
holders of mining titles granted under Decree 2655 of 1988 were allowed to request the
conversion of those mining titles into mining titles granted by a concession contract ruled by
Law 685 of 2001.
LAND TENURE
The Vetas Gold Project is governed by the 2001 Mining Code (Convers, 2012). For the
Vetas Gold Project, Galway entered into an Option Contract for the Reina de Oro
concession, which comprises approximately 124 ha (Table 4-1).

Empresa Minera Reina de Oro Ltda. (Empresa). The figure also shows the preliminary
boundaries of the Pramo discussed in Section 2.
described later in this section. The exercising of the option entitles Galway to the mining
rights (exploration and exploitation) of the Reina de Oro concession. The option does not
entitle Galway to the mill or any surface facilities. According to Galway personnel, a verbal
arrangement exists with Empresa to have an independent appraisal of the value of the
surface assets as the basis for a purchase and sale agreement.
RPA has not conducted or commissioned an independent title search with respect to the
Vetas property concessions and expresses no opinion as to the ownership status of the
property.

www.rpacan.com
Galway has advised RPA that El Volcn operates under a mining concession contract
(Expediente 14833 RMN FGJM-02 Contrato de Concesion D2655) covered under the
Colombian Mining Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
RPA is unaware of any environmental liabilities related to the Vetas Project. The Galway
Exploration Team is cognizant of environmental issues related to diamond drilling including:
Zero harm to the water resource with regard to potential pollution from the drilling
operations.
Noise monitoring.
No native plant species are cut down without a restoration plan and environmental
compensation.
Vegetation is monitored to ensure that there are no effects from drilling water.
Waste rock from the development of the underground drill stations is stockpiled on
surface in designated dump areas.
Landowner authorization and required permits for access for exploration activities.
Water related issues including required water use permit, pollution of water resource,
and periodic studies of water quality.
Noise issues.

EMPRESA OPERATION
El Volcn Mine, located within Galways Reina de Oro property, is being operated by
Empresa using small scale tracked/manual methods with current production of approximately
40 tpd with an average grade of 9.5 g/t Au. El Volcn operates under a mining concession
contract with the Colombian government (Expediente 14833 RMN FGJM-02 Contrato de
Concesion D2655). The mine consists of two main levels, the Reina de Oro and Tajo Abierto
levels, with eight mineralized quartz veins currently being mined with a small workforce. El
Volcn veins have been, and currently are being mined from surface to approximately 250 m
below surface. Within this area, and over a 570 m vein length, only approximately 30% of
the area has been mined out (according to the mine supervisor).
Generally, mining has been carried out by mining a two metre high cut at an angle of 20 to
30 up from both sides of a steep raise, leaving a six metre pillar, and then mining another
two metre cut. The mine supervisor reports that approximately 20% to 30% of the area
between surface and the bottom level are mined in this way.
Development has been done by drifting on two levels, and several sublevels, plus in the
Alaska tunnels. The approximate amount of drifting and silling completed in the past is
difficult to ascertain due to loss of access to some areas, however, it is estimated that some
7,000 m are open out of an approximate total of 10,000 m. Some of the approximately 3,000
m of underground workings that are not open are currently inaccessible due to safety
concerns. Virtually no inter-level mining has been surveyed.
competent wall rocks may allow for efficient bulk mining operations in future.
The minesite includes a small gold processing metallurgical facility that is reported to have
produced an average of 500 oz of gold per year over the past five years. Ore is sent to a
crushing circuit and the product is forwarded to a grinding circuit. The initial gold separation
step occurs after grinding using gravity techniques (jigs). The coarse concentrate from the
jigs is panned and free gold is recovered. The non-gold fraction of the pan material and the
middlings are sent to a regrind circuit for further grinding. The finer fraction is sent to a heap

www.rpacan.com
leach where a cyanide solution is percolated through the heap. The ensuing gold bearing
solution is sent to a Merrill Crowe zinc precipitation step, which provides for feed to a
precious metals refining step. Gold dor bars result from this refining step.
The middlings that were sent to the regrind step are sent to a gravity gold recovery operation
consisting of shaking tables (Wilfley) on a batch basis. The concentrate from the tables are
panned and free gold is recovered. The non-gold material from the panning operation, the
middlings, and fines from the tables are sent to an agitated cyanide leach step. The resulting
gold bearing solution is sent to the Merrill Crowe zinc precipitation step and the gold bearing
material is sent to refining for conversion into gold dor bars.
The solids from the agitated leach step are sent to a washing step where cyanide bearing
solution is removed and treated with hydrogen peroxide (to remove cyanide), prior to being
sent to the near river for disposal. The washed sands are transported to the river as well.
The El Volcn Mine is reported to have annual gold sales of $850,000 to $1,000,000 per
year. Under the option agreement, Galway does not benefit from any revenue produced or
from any production activities at the El Volcn Mine.

California that requires transit of 55 km of partially paved road to the town of California from
which a 16 km dirt road connects to Vetas (Figure 5-1).
The property is located in steep, mountainous, and relatively rugged terrain at elevations
ranging from approximately 3,100 MASL to 3,800 MASL. The town of Vetas is located at an
elevation of 3,200 MASL. The slopes are generally greater than 30 and in some areas are
near-vertical cliffs. The area has long been deforested, and the slopes are covered with
scrub brush and grasses. The indigenous tree species were oaks and along the streams
some relict oaks are found. Reforestation programs have introduced several varieties of
pine.
CLIMATE
The climate of the Project area is cool to cold and is humid.
o
temperature ranges from 4 C to 10 C, varying with elevation. The rainy seasons generally
occur in October-November and April-May. Snow is infrequent but occasionally occurs at
higher elevations. Average annual precipitation is about 750 mm. Exploration work can be
conducted year round.

activity in the region and there is significant production of milk and varieties of home-made
cheese. In addition to cattle, the local farmers raise pigs, chickens, and goats. Horses are
raised for both transportation and work. Potatoes and onions are staple crops in the area.
Blackberries, tree tomatoes, curuba, and lulo are also grown.
Water for both domestic consumption and for industrial uses is drawn from nearby perennial
streams.
The area is served by the national electrical power grid. Land telephone lines are restricted
to the town of Vetas and cellular telephone reception is generally available except in the
deeper canyons.
Basic supplies are available in Vetas; otherwise all supplies and equipment must be
transported from Bucaramanga.
Electrical power is supplied to the El Volcn Mine by the local power company via an 11,400
V line. An emergency generator, two pneumatic compressors, and an internal rail network
are also present at the minesite.

6 HISTORY
REGIONAL HISTORY
The California-Vetas region has a history of mining that dates back to Pre-Colombian time.
The following account of the history of mining and exploration in the California-Vetas District
is taken from OPrey (2008).
The California-Vetas District was discovered in the mid-1500s (some sources say 1530,
others say 1546) during a Spanish military action led by the German mercenary
Ambrosius Alfinger who was to subdue the natives and confiscate their gold. The
California-Vetas region had already been the site of mining by the indigenous Sura tribe
since Pre-Colombian times, and from this area came the gold that the Muisca tribe used
for their excellent artwork on display in the Gold Museum in Bogota. Alfinger was seeking
to duplicate the success of the Quesada expedition near Bogot, which had returned with
120 pounds of gold, but a poisoned arrow in the throat cut short his ambitions. His men
retreated downstream, dying or killing one another on the way until there werent enough
left to carry all the treasure they had confiscated. They buried it in the forest on the banks
of the Rio Catatumbo, where it supposedly remains. A single survivor of the expedition
reached Cartagena and never returned to claim the treasure.
In 1551 the Basques Ortn Velasco and Pedro De Orza brought settlers from the
provinces of Navarra and Vizcaya in Spain to settle the region. They founded nearby
Pamplona whose economic base was the gold mining area later known as Vetas. When
Velasco and his men arrived in the gold mining area the Suras caved and covered their
mines, some of them hiding inside until they died of starvation.
Spanish colonials engaged in two open-pit operations in the district near California and
one near Vetas. The latter, the Pozo del Rey, is on the ridge overlooking the El Volcn
Mine and lies within the concession boundaries. After those mines closed, small scale
production continued through the next four centuries.

of the locomotive, opened the Pie de Gallo Mine in that part of the district known as La
Baja. The Francia Gold and Silver Company Ltd., was organized in London in 1906 and
invested a million dollars in developing mines and building a mill and reduction plant at La
Tronadora just outside the town of California, but closed down because of the war in
Europe in 1914.
In 1947, the Anaconda Copper Mining Company took an option on a property that
encompassed the La Baja and La Alta areas near California and conducted gold
exploration via tunneling and a limited amount of core drilling. Core recoveries were
reportedly poor so that insufficient reliable information was available to justify an onerous
option payment and Anaconda released the property.
Consolidated Pine Channel Resources Ltd. acquired an option in 1994 on licences in what is
termed the La Alta or Angostura area. It subsequently dealt the options to Churchill
Resources Ltd., which entered into a joint venture with Greystar Resources Ltd. (Greystar)
and was eventually merged into Greystar. Greystar has been exploring the property since
1995. In May 2009, Greystar filed a NI 43-101 Preliminary Feasibility Study based on an
open pit operation on the Angostura Gold Project. In April 2011, Greystar filed a NI 43-101
Preliminary Economic Assessment for underground mining at the Angostura Gold Project. In
August 2011, Greystar changed its name to Eco Oro Minerals Corp. In March 2012, Eco Oro
filed an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for underground mining at Angostura.

In March 2011, AUX Canada Acquisition Inc. (AUX) acquired Ventana Gold Corp. (Ventana),
which owned the La Bodega Project located immediately to the southwest of the Angostura
Project.
Ventana had been exploring properties in the area and released a NI 43-101
Galways Vetas Project was spun out of Galway Resources Ltd. (Galway Resources) into
Galway Gold Inc. after Galway Resources was acquired by AUX Acquisition 2 S..r.l on
December 20, 2012 for total consideration of approximately C$340 million in cash.
The Angostura and La Bodega properties are described in Section 23 of this report.
PROPERTY HISTORY
The primary focus of historical mining and exploration activity on the Vetas property has
been at the El Volcn Mine located in the Reina de Oro concession. The following account
of the history of the El Volcn Mine is from OPrey (2008).
The El Volcn Mine was started after the French left, by Vetas native Elias Moreno who in
1918 discovered rich gold veins in a topographic basin on the eastern flank of a long ridge
in the Vetas area known as Lomo Pozo del Rey, after the colonial open-pit gold mine
located on its crest. The Moreno family opened adits at several locations in the basin and
in two locations outside the basin, each adit topographically lower than its predecessor.
In the 1940s the Colombian government awarded a contract of exploitation for the mine
area to the American Benjamin Brewer, a retired boxer, who took over the workings and
put Alberto Ferreira in charge. It was Sr. Ferreira who worked the mine until the mid-60s,
when Mr Brewer returned with a group of associates to improve the plant. They installed
a California (stamp) mill to replace the arrastres (grinding stones) that had been in use
until then. They also installed a drip cyanidation circuit and drove the principal tunnel.
Among this group was the Texan geologist Richard Knapp, who supervised the tunneling.
In 1969, when the Colombian government introduced its first Mining Law, Mr Brewers
initial exploitation contract was converted to be in accordance with the new law.
Benjamin Brewer later sold part of the mineral rights to Arcenio Arias and Angel Rangel,
and leased the remaining mineral rights to Richard Knapp. Arcenio Arias and Angel
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023
Technical Report NI 43-101 November 6, 2013
Page 6-3
www.rpacan.com
Rangel subsequently sold their rights to Elias Moreno, Angelo Moreno, Alonzo Rodriguez,
Didimo Arias and Rodolfo Contreras (Empresa Reina de Oro).
Benjamin Brewer, Richard Knapp approached his widow to purchase her share of the
mineral rights only to find that the Colombians had already done so, as such full
ownership of the property has until the present day remained in the hands of this local
group.
In November 2007, a lease contract with option to purchase was signed between White Gold
Corporation (White Gold) and Empresa granting White Gold the right to purchase 100% of
the mineral rights to the property and 100% of the surface rights, with no retained royalties.
The only known historical exploration in the area was conducted by Oro Baracuda which
worked on the property for eight months in 2008. It is reported that only basic exploration
was conducted including soil and rock sampling.
On January 26, 2010, Galway announced that it had entered into a binding agreement to
acquire a 100% interest in the Reina de Oro property.
To RPAs knowledge, there have been no historical resource estimates for the El Volcn
Mine and the surrounding Reina de Oro property. This is likely due to the mining method
employed at the El Volcn Mine which has been historically applied in the California-Vetas
Mining District and the fact that, prior to Galways involvement, there had been no significant
exploration or delineation drilling on the property.
Production records from the El Volcn Mine were not available to RPA and to RPAs
knowledge are not in the possession of Galway. The status of any production records for the
mine is not known by RPA. According to OPrey (2008), current production in 2008 was 30
tpd to 40 tpd at an average grade of 9.5 g/t Au. Verbal communication from the current mine
manager to Galway personnel indicates a current annual production rate of 10,000 tonnes at
a grade of 9.5 g/t Au recovered. An annual production rate of 10,000 tonnes would be
consistent with a daily production rate of 35 tonnes based on a 285 work day year.
Assuming a 60 year production history and an annual production rate of 10,000 tonnes at an
average recovered grade of 10 g/t Au, the total production from the El Volcn Mine would be
approximately 190,000 ounces Au. RPA notes that this number is based on verbal and
unverified sources.

LOCAL GEOLOGY
In the area of the California-Vetas District, a fault bounded central domain of dominantly
Jurassic aged intrusive rocks is bordered to the east by a domain of dominantly Precambrian
metamorphic rocks and to the west by Precambrian metamorphic rocks and Cretaceous
sedimentary rocks. The fault contact to the west is referred to as the Falla Cucutilla and the
fault to the east is informally referred to as the Vetas Fault (Figure 7-2).
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The Reina de Oro concession is located within the domain of dominantly Precambrian
metamorphic rocks east of the regional Vetas Fault (Figure 7-2). The property is underlain
dominantly by grey to black amphibolitic gneiss. Three intrusive rock types are recognized
on the property intruding the gneiss: micro granite, quartz diorite, and dacite porphyry. The
former two intrusive rocks are interpreted to be part of the Jurassic intrusive complex and the
dacite porphyritic rock is interpreted to be part of the younger, possibly Tertiary aged,
intrusive event. Further description and a map of the property geology are contained in
Section 9 of this report.
MINERALIZATION
The most significant zone of mineralization on the Vetas Project is the El Volcn Mine
located in the Reina de Oro concession. The gold-silver mineralization in the El Volcn Mine
occurs within a swarm of northeast striking, vertical to steeply north-dipping tabular subparallel and occasionally intersecting or sigmoidal quartz veins. The western portion of the
Reina de Oro concession is structurally complex and marks the intersection of east-west
trending structures and northeast-southwest trending structures. Below the current mine
workings, 3420 RL, the veins occur within a northeast-southwest trending zone measuring
250 m wide by 550m long. The known vertical extent of the veins is approximately 600 m
below the current mine workings, but the lower limit of the mineralization has not been
defined. The veins are hosted dominantly by gneiss and occur also at the gneiss-intrusive
rock contacts. The alteration envelopes or selvages are a few centimetres up to several
metres in width and consist of pervasively phyllic and argillic altered gneiss often
accompanied by disseminated sulphides and/or quartz veinlets. The veins are irregular in
width, with occasional vugs, and often have colloform or crustiform texture. They consist
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023
Technical Report NI 43-101 November 6, 2013
Page 7-4

generally of grey to off-white finely crystalline quartz or microcrystalline chalcedony
interbanded with darker grey adularia and accompanied by minor sulphides consisting of
pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.
The host rock intersected in the drilling is dominantly grey to dark grey amphibolitic gneiss.
Mineralization consists mainly of veins within variable sheared and altered gneiss. Veins
characterizing drill hole intercepts comprise laminated veins, vein stockworks, breccias veins,
and minor veinlets.
Three vein types are distinguished in the underground drilling and are interpreted in terms of
relative environment and timing of emplacement:
Vein type B: Chalcedonic quartz and pyrite veins with local free coarse gold
interpreted to be related to a late epithermal event.
Vein type C: Vuggy and drussy quartz and chalcedonic, banded quartz with fine pyrite
and visible (locally coarse) gold, and locally galena and cinnabar interpreted to be an
epithermal style of mineralization distinct from vein type B.
Page 7-5
www.rpacan.com
8 DEPOSIT TYPES
Based on a number of features that include tectonic setting, structural control on the
distribution and clustering of occurrences and deposits, apparent timing of mineralization and
association with porphyritic intrusive rocks, the general form of mineralization and
association with alteration, the gold-silver mineral deposits of the California-Vetas District
belong to the class of epithermal gold-silver deposits. Furthermore, variation in the details of
individual deposits that include vein vs. replacement styles, vein and wall rock replacement
textures, associated sulphide minerals and abundances, and associated alteration, indicates
that there is a spectrum of high sulphidation to low sulphidation types of epithermal
mineralization in the district. Figure 8-1 shows a general model for epithermal gold-silver
deposits in a porphyry environment, which includes copper molybdenum mineralization and
is applicable to exploration in the California-Vetas District.

9 EXPLORATION
Galway initiated exploration on the Vetas Gold Project in January 2010.
Exploration
In addition, Galway completed a sampling program of ore feed into the El Volcn gold
recovery plant and has sampled tailings at the end of the gold recovery circuit and prior to
disposal.
Galway initiated a two phase diamond drilling program in April 2011, with the second phase
ending in early April 2013. The scope and results of this drilling is described in Section 10 of
this report.
RPA is of the opinion that the chip-channel sampling at the Vetas Gold Project has been
completed consistent with best practices and industry standards. No bias has been
introduced through any site specific sampling practices and the results of the sampling can
be the basis of continued geological interpretation and exploration program design. The
relationship between drilling intersections and chip samples is briefly described in Section 14
of this report.
A total of 7,345 m of drifts were mapped and 3,769 chip channel samples were taken from
vein, wall rock, and stockwork mineralization between vein sets dominantly from the two
Page 9-1
www.rpacan.com
main development levels in the El Volcn Mine: the Reina de Oro level and the Tajo Abierto
level. Sampling was also completed on the intermediate level referred to as the Alaska level.
During mapping of the drifts, it was noted that sulphide mineralization (pyrite) was
significantly more prevalent on the deeper Reina de Oro level than on the Tajo Abierto level.
Surface mapping has shown the sulphide mineralization to be almost absent in the veining.
The mapping
identified veins and structures that are correlated with veins and structures in the developed
underground and also determined new veins both inside and outside the area or the domain
of the El Volcn Mine. Numerous intrusive lithologies were mapped. The results of the
mapping are illustrated in Figure 9-1.
A total of 215 chip-channel samples of veins, vein stockwork zones, and mineralized rocks
were taken. Gold results range from 0.05 g/t Au to 25.3 g/t Au and silver results from 0.01 g/t
Ag to 109.0 g/t Ag. In addition to the gold and silver, surface sampling returned anomalous
results for base metals, with up to 0.13% Mo and up to 0.14 % Cu.
The samples were collected by Galway personnel, with analyses done at SGS. Galway
geologists have calculated MMI response ratios. The MMI response ratios over the mine
trend generates a northeast-southwest gold anomaly having a continuous strike length of
500 m that is coincident with the mineralized structures mapped on surface and within the
tunnels underground (Figures 9-1 and 9-4).
anomalies to the west, north, and northwest of the main mine. Low to moderate response
ratios are associated with a northwest-southeast direction that is parallel to a secondary

cross structural vein system.
Response ratios of approximately 10 for gold outlines the broader mineralized structures,
while a response ratio above 50 coincides with the high-grade tunnels mapped in the
underground. There are also a number of weaker gold anomalies defined throughout the
property that warrant further investigation. It should be noted that one strong anomaly to the
northeast is thought to be related to possible contamination from the Empresa mill.

The main mine trend has strong chargeability anomalies at moderate depths below surface
(starting at approximately 30 m). In addition, there are a number of other chargeability
anomalies that are also fairly deep on the IP profiles (30 m to 60 m) located outside the El
Volcn domain.

Ten samples were taken from the tailings from the El Volcn gold recovery circuit after
cyanide treatment and recovery (Figure 9-3). The samples were taken and analyzed by
Galway in July 2010. The assay results are in a relatively tight range of 2.0 g/t Au to 4.5 g/t

resulted in coincident gold-silver anomalies away from the surface expression of the El
Volcn Mine and gold anomalies with copper molybdenum signatures.
A number of
chargeability anomalies associated with the El Volcn Mine are indicative of structures
mapped from a northeast-southwest trending corridor of generally higher chargeability. In
addition, chargeability anomalies outside the El Volcn trend appear to be coincident with
both mapped structures and MMI anomalies.
The multi-method exploration results are compiled and a number of discrete targets and
target areas have been interpreted as illustrated in Figure 9-4.

10 DRILLING
No drilling has historically been completed on the Vetas property. The first phase of drilling
on the property was initiated underground at the El Volcn Mine by Galway on April 4, 2011
and was completed on August 27, 2012. The second phase of drilling was completed in
early April 2013. Underground drilling has been completed from three drill stations located
on the Reina de Oro level: Drill Station 1 is at a nominal elevation of 3,411 m, Drill Station 2
is at a nominal elevation of 3,413 m, and Drill Station 3 is at nominal elevation of 3,401 m.
The first phase of surface drilling was initiated on January 18, 2012 and was completed on
July 21, 2012. The second phase of surface drilling was completed in early April 2013.
Surface drilling on the Coloro concession was conducted by Galway during the phase 1 drill
campaign, but no significant results were encountered and the concession has been
relinquished.
The procedures for diamond drilling used at the Project, both underground at the El Volcn
Mine and on surface, are consistent with industry best practices. This includes surveying the
location and orientation of the drill set-ups, downhole surveying using a Reflex Multishot at
regular intervals, documentation of core recovery, and conventional and industry standard
logging and sampling procedures.
UNDERGROUND DRILLING
Galway has completed 68 holes for a total of 33,238 m of HQ, reduced to NQ, diamond
drilling in the underground program (Table 10-1). This includes 34 holes drilled from Drill
Station 1 in a generally easterly direction and 26 holes drilled from Drill Station 2 in a
generally westerly direction, and eight holes drilled from Drill Station 3 in an easterly direction
Page 10-1
www.rpacan.com
(Figure 10-1). The data collected from these 68 holes were used for the Mineral Resource
estimate described in Section 14.

To date, the drilling has tested dominantly down dip of the El Volcn Mine mineralization.
Some holes drilled from Station 2 intersected extensions of veins down dip and along strike
to the southwest of the mine, and some holes drilled from Station 3 intersected extensions of
veins down dip and along strike to the northeast of the mine. Drilling has successfully
intersected mineralization to a depth of approximately 600 m below the Reina de Oro level.
The drilling has successfully intersected the major vein structures historically developed at
the El Volcn Mine and gold and silver grades are generally consistent with the chip
sampling results. However, in some cases, the intersections of the predicted veins and
structures have not returned significant precious metal values. These missed intersections
commonly possess the same alteration, mineralization, and structures as the gold-bearing
intersections. RPA believes that Vetas likely hosts gold-bearing mineralized shoots similar
to many other narrow-vein gold deposits.
In addition, drilling has intersected a number of veins and structures previously not
developed or recognized underground, which occur at intermediate positions between the
developed veins.
environment of branching, anastomosing, and linking veins and structures may exist at El
Volcn.
SURFACE DRILLING
Twenty-three HQ, reduced to NQ, diamond drill holes, for a total of 13,737 m, have been
completed on the Vetas Project (Table 10-2). Except for two drill holes at Coloro, the surface
drilling has been focused on a stockwork zone of mineralization located near the western
property boundary and adjacent to the area where CB Gold Inc. has reported positive drilling
results (Figure 10-1). In addition, in the same area, two targets defined by coincident MMI
and IP chargeability anomalies have been tested on their western flank.

Significant drill intercepts (>3 g/t Au) from the completed surface drilling are presented in
Table 10-3. Work on the surface target drilling is at an early stage and reconciliation with the
geochemical and geophysical targets remains to be completed. However, it appears that the
host rocks and the mineralization intersected are largely similar in style and mineralogy to the
mineralization intersected at the El Volcn Mine. Significantly, mineralization intersected
thus far in the surface holes also includes stockwork mineralization (Vein type A) hosted
within an intrusive rock. A number of new veins have been encountered in the surface
drilling, however, not much is yet known regarding their orientation, continuity, and gold
grade potential. As a result, the true width of these veins has not yet been established. The
western portion of the Reina de Oro concession where the majority of the surface drilling has
Page 10-6

been completed is structurally complex and marks the intersection of east-west trending
structures and northeast-southwest trending structures.

Samples collected at the Vetas Project are catalogued and bagged on site for secure
transportation, which includes the use of security bag ties.
For the underground chip sampling, surface exploration, and the first 10 underground
diamond drill holes, the samples were shipped to ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in
Bogota, Colombia. The sample preparation (crushing, grinding, and splitting) was completed
in the Bogota laboratory and prepared subsamples were shipped to the ALS Minerals
analytical laboratory in Lima, Peru, for analyses. Sample preparation at ALS Minerals in
Bogota included logging in the laboratory information management system (LIMS), weighing,
and drying the sample. The entire sample was crushed to better than 70% -2 mm and a one
kilogram split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 m. All rock samples were
analyzed for gold using the ALS Minerals procedure (code) Au-AA23, which was fire assay
fusion with analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) on a 30 g split of the pulp.
The method reports in the range from 0.01 g/t Au to 10 g/t Au. All samples returning greater
than 10 g/t Au with the Au-AA23 method were re-analyzed using the Au-SCR21 method,
which was a screen fire assay. Silver content was determined at ALS Minerals using the AgAA46 method, which included aqua regia digestion and an AAS determination.
Silver
content was also determined at ALS Minerals using the Ag-ME-OG46 method, which
included aqua regia digestion and an AAS determination. In addition to this protocol, Galway
specified samples from the underground drilling, based on logging as being vein or within the
structures hosting the veins, to be analyzed by the screen metallic assay method in addition
to fire assay.
After the completion of the first 10 drill holes, Galway initiated the use of AcmeLabs (ACME).
Core samples from the Vetas Project were sent to the ACME preparation facility in Medelln,
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023
Technical Report NI 43-101 November 6, 2013
Page 11-1

Colombia, for processing and were analyzed at the ACME laboratory in Vancouver, Canada.
ACME uses a LIMS for sample management. Sample preparation completed on the Galway
samples at ACME consisted of crushing the entire sample to better than 80% < 10 mesh
(1.68 mm) and a 250 g split pulverized to 85% < 200 mesh (75 m).
For underground drilling, Galway identifies samples that are mineralized and samples that
host mineralization within intersected structures on the sample submittal form in the sample
shipment. These samples are analyzed for gold by the screen metallic method (ACME code
615) and for silver by aqua regia digestion and by inductively coupled plasma emission
spectroscopy (ICP-ES) analysis (ACME code 7AR2). All other underground core samples
are analyzed using a 30 g fire assay with an AA finish for gold and aqua regia digestion and
AA finish for silver (ACME code 603). All samples returning values of greater than 5 g/t Au
with the ACME 603 method are re-assayed using the screen metallic method and all
samples with values exceeding 100 ppm Ag are re-assayed for silver using aqua regia
digestion followed by ICP-ES finish (ACME 7AR2),
All samples from every fifth underground drill hole are also analyzed for a suite of 36
elements.
mineralized structure are analyzed for gold by the screen metallic method. The samples not
analyzed by the screen metallic method are analyzed by a 30 g fire assay with an AA finish
(ACME Code 601) and those returning concentrations greater than 5 g/t are re-assayed
using the screen metallic method. All samples are analyzed for 36 elements using aqua
regia digestion of a 15 g pulp followed by ICP-ES/MS analysis (ACME code 1DX2). Samples
with silver values greater than 100 ppm from the 1DX2 analyses are re-analyzed for silver
using aqua regia digestion and ICP-ES finish (ACME 7AR2).
Occasionally, samples are also analyzed for a suite of 53 elements. All samples identified by
Galway as mineralized or associated with the mineralized structure are analyzed for gold by
the screen metallic method. The samples not analyzed by the screen metallic method are
analyzed by a 30 g fire assay with an AA finish (ACME Code 601) and those returning
concentrations greater than 5 g/t are re-assayed using the screen metallic method.
All
samples are analyzed for 53 elements using aqua regia digestion of a 0.5 g pulp followed by
ICP-MS analysis (ACME code 1F04). Samples with silver values greater than 100 ppm from
the 1F04 analyses are re-analyzed for silver using aqua regia digestion and ICP-ES finish
(ACME 7AR2). Silver content was also occasionally determined at ACME using the 8TD

method, which included a four acid aqua regia digestion and an AAS determination. The
detection limits for silver values within the database vary by analytical method and range
from 0.002 ppm Ag to 2 ppm Ag.
All of the surface drilling samples were assayed at ACME and subject to the same analytical
protocols and methods as the underground holes.
The belt samples of El Volcn Mine ore have all been analyzed at ALS Minerals using the
screen fire assay method (Au-SCR21). The samples of tailings were analyzed at an assay
laboratory located in Vetas.
Surface exploration rock samples were analyzed for gold by a 30 g fire assay and AAS finish
method (code G601) plus a multi-element suite using aqua regia digestion with an ultra-trace
53 element ICP-MS finish (code 1F04) or 36 element ICP-MS finish (code IDX2).
MMI soil samples were sent to SGS Group (ISO 19011 certified) preparation facility in
Medelln, Colombia, for processing and were analyzed at SGS's laboratory in Lima, Peru.
DISCUSSION
ALS Minerals is a widely used, international testing laboratory. The ALS Minerals quality
system complies with the requirements of the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and
ISO 17025:1999 at all laboratory sites. ACME is an ISO 9001:2008 qualified international
geochemical and assaying laboratory that is widely used by the mineral exploration industry.
The laboratory located in Vetas is not an accredited facility but has long been servicing the
local mining industry. RPA is of the opinion that the analyses of the tailings from the El
Volcn Mine process are probably representative of actual gold content but recommends that
further work completed at the Vetas based assay laboratory include check assays at an
accredited laboratory.
In the opinion of RPA, the sample security, sample preparation, and sample analyses are
adequate for use in Mineral Resource estimation. To the best of RPAs knowledge, no
sample preparation is completed by an employee, officer, or director of Galway. Galway
utilizes an analytical Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol that includes the
use of blanks, field or laboratory duplicates, and Standard Reference Materials (SRM) at a
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023

rate of one of each control per 20 samples. This QA/QC protocol and results are further
discussed in Section 12 of this report.

RPA visited the Vetas property on April 4 to 6, 2011 and again on November 11 and 12,
2012. Data verification completed during the first site visit included the following:
1. The El Volcn Mine underground was visited and the veins were observed in several
locations.
2. Duplicate chip samples were collected at five locations from the underground veins
and analyzed.
3. Drilling from underground Drill Station 1 was inspected.
4. The geological setting, the geology, and mineralization of the El Volcn Mine, and
mineralization on adjacent properties and in the California-Vetas District were
reviewed with Galway geologists.
5. The approach and results of exploration completed on the Vetas property was
reviewed with Galway geologists.
6. Aspects of sampling, sample security, QA/QC, and the assay database were
discussed with on-site Galway geologists.
Subsequent to the first site visit, aspects of the drill program were discussed in detail with
Galway geologists, a check of the assay database by comparing it with the original assays
was completed, and an independent check of the QA/QC data was carried out.
Data
verification completed during the second site visit included the following:
1. The logging and sampling facility was inspected.
2. The secure core storage facility was inspected.
3. The use of assay laboratories and preparation and analytical protocol was reviewed
and discussed with the supervising Galway geologist.
4. Core handling, sampling, and logging methods previously discussed and confirmed
with the supervising Galway geologist were reviewed.
5. Drill core was inspected and compared with logs and assay data.
6. The geological interpretation being completed was reviewed and discussed.

processing duplicate samples from each stage of the analytical process from the primary
stage of sample splitting through sample preparation stages of crushing/splitting,
pulverizing/splitting, and assaying.
Galways QA/QC protocol consists of the regular insertion of blanks, reject duplicates, and
multiple standards within each 20 sample batch. Reject duplicate samples are analyzed to
determine the level of analytical precision. The samples from the Vetas Project are sent to
the ACME preparation facility in Medelln, Colombia, for sample preparation and then to the
ACME laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Table 12-1 shows the number of
QA/QC samples reviewed by RPA.
The precision levels are good for gold mineralization and the gold and silver assays are
accurate with no significant bias evident. Overall, RPA is of the opinion that the assay
results are reliable and acceptable for use in Mineral Resource estimation.

BLANKS
The regular submission of blank material is used to assess contamination during sample
preparation and to identify potential sample numbering errors.
Galways QA/QC protocol called for blanks to be inserted in the sample stream at a rate of
one in 20 samples. The blanks were inserted into the sample stream at the core sampling
facility in Vetas, prior to shipment to the ACME preparation laboratory in Medelln, Colombia.
The blank material is not certified and was sourced from a company called Rocas Y Minas
Colombiana (Bucaramanga). The rock is a white marble.
RPA received the results from 2,023 gold and 1,159 silver analyses of blanks. A gold assay
was considered a failure if the result was higher than ten times the detection limit of the
methods (ACME codes G601 and 603 with detection limits of 0.005 g/t Au). Four failures for
gold were recorded (Table 12-2 and Figure 12-1). Approximately five different analytical
methods were used to determine silver assay values. The detection limits for these methods
range from 2 ppb Ag to 2 g/t Ag. A silver assay was considered a failure if the result was
10% higher than the highest detection limit of the analytical methods (2 g/t Ag) (Figure 12-2).
No silver failures were recorded. In RPAs opinion, the results of the blanks are acceptable
and support the use of the assays completed to date for continued interpretation, evaluation,
and resource estimation purposes.

DRILL CORE DUPLICATES
Drill core or field duplicates help assess the natural local-scale grade variance or nugget
effect and are also useful for detecting sample numbering errors. The field duplicates help
monitor the grade variability as a function of both sample homogeneity and laboratory error.
The Thompson-Howarth (T-H) precision plot can be used to compare results for the three
duplicate types (field duplicates, reject duplicates, and pulp duplicates). The field duplicates
are expected to have the lowest precision, followed by the coarse reject duplicates. The pulp
duplicates are expected to have the best precision as they are the finest grain size and are
the most homogenized.
RPA detected several mislabel inconsistencies while compiling the datasets provided in
order to build the data file for duplicate pairs analysis.
RPA received the duplicate results for 1,995 original reject assays for gold. Of these original
reject assays, 448 used a screen metallic analytical method (SCR-MET), however, only 42
duplicate reject assays used a matching screen metallic analytical method. Of the 1,547
original reject assays that used a 30 g fire assay with an AA finish (30 g FA-AA), only 733
had assay values at or above the 0.005 g/t Au detection limit for the method. Figures 12-3
and 12-4 illustrate the duplicate pairs for the 30 g FA-AA method. Outliers exist in the
dataset for gold. Statistics for the duplicates were calculated after removal of outliers and the
results are shown in Tables 12-3 and 12-4.
For gold (30 g FA-AA), the precision for the reject duplicates is approximately 12.9% at 1.0
g/t (Figure 12-5). The sample duplicates have good correlation coefficients for gold and the
relative standard deviations (RSDs) are 56% for reject duplicates, which is common for gold
mineralization. For gold (SCR-MET), the precision for the reject duplicates is approximately
5.3% at 1.0 g/t. The sample duplicates have good correlation coefficients for gold and the
relative standard deviations (RSDs) are 39% for reject duplicates. Due to the small sample
size, the results for the screen metallic method are presented here for completeness; they do
not reflect the expected precision, RSD, or correlation coefficient for this analytical method as
it relates to this type of mineralization.
RPA received duplicate results for 1,186 original reject assays for silver. As noted in Section
11, Galway assayed for silver using a variety of analytical methods and detection limits. RPA

In RPAs opinion, the gold CRM grades cover a reasonable range of grades. RPA suggests
an addition of a CRM between gold ranges of 2.0 g/t and 4.0 g/t.
Page 12-9
www.rpacan.com
If Galway believes that silver may potentially represent a payable metal, RPA recommends
that CRMs for silver should be introduced into the QA/QC process, covering the expected
range of concentrations of the deposit. In general, minimum requirements are a low-grade
CRM, with a grade close to the deposit cut-off grade, a medium-grade CRM, with a grade
close to the average grade of the deposit, and a high-grade CRM, taking into consideration
the grade level of this particular deposit (i.e., the grade corresponding to the 80th percentile).
Specific pass/fail criteria are determined from the standard deviations provided for each
CRM. The conventional approach for setting standard acceptance limits is to use the mean
assay 2 standard deviations as a warning limit and 3 standard deviations as a failure
limit. Results falling outside of the 3 standard deviation failure limit must be investigated to
determine the source of the erratic result, either analytical or clerical. The CRM results are
discussed individually below.
CDN-GS-10D
The gold control chart for CRM CDN-GS-10D is shown in Figure 12-6. Thirty-eight samples
(6.9%) returned values outside three standard deviations. Gold values from the first phase of
drilling show a fairly even distribution around the mean of this CRM with a slightly low bias
potentially indicating a slight analytical low at this gold grade. Gold values from the second
phase of drilling show a tighter distribution, which is slightly above the mean of this CRM,
and a slight analytical high at this gold grade. RPA notes that all failures occurred during the
first phase of drilling and that all but one failure was below the -3SD limit.

CDN-GS-6A
The gold control chart for CRM CDN-GS-6A is shown in Figure 12-7. Thirty-one samples
(6.0%) returned values outside three standard deviations. Gold values from the first phase of
drilling show a fairly even distribution around the mean of this CRM with no observable bias.
Gold values from the second phase of drilling show a tighter distribution, which is slightly
above the mean of this CRM, and a slight analytical high at this gold grade. RPA notes that
there is almost an equal number of high and low failures, with the majority of failures
occurring in the first phase of drilling.
Page 12-11
www.rpacan.com
FIGURE 12-7 CRM CDN-GS-6A GOLD
CDN-GS-P2A
The gold control charts for CRM CDN-GS-P2A is shown in Figure 12-8. Sixty-six samples
(13.2%) returned values outside three standard deviations and form a relatively tight range
slightly above the analytical mean. In the first phase of drilling, analyses were typically high,
with the mean of the analyses being 8.99% higher than the certified mean. In the second
phase of drilling, analyses were also high, with the mean of the analyses being 16.40%
higher than the certified mean. RPA notes that based on the CRM certificate, the average
analyses value of 0.25 g/t Au for CRM CDN-GS-P2A is within the range of average values of
the 14 laboratories used to determine the certified mean. The reference material certificate
also notes that results from one laboratory were removed for failing the t-test, as they were
much above the global mean. Based on the available data, RPA believes that the certified
mean for this CRM could be slightly too low, causing a moderate number of failures. RPA
recommends that this standard be replaced or be sent to additional laboratories as a form of
independent round-robin testing.

FIGURE 12-8 CRM CDN-GS-P2A GOLD
In summary, the high and medium grade standards show that precision levels are
reasonable for precious metal mineralization and the first phase drilling assays are accurate,
with no significant bias evident. Second phase drilling assays show a slightly positive bias
but good precision levels for all three standards. The low grade standard CDN-GS-P2A
shows a positive bias throughout both drilling phases that may be caused by its certified
mean being too low.
RPA recommends continuing improvement of the QA/QC process regarding accurate sample
insertion and numbering of the duplicates and CRMs as 21 (1.3%) cases of mislabelling were
detected in the provided databases.
recommended.
Based on the site visits, evaluation of QA/QC data, and information supplied by Galway, RPA
is of the opinion that the data generated at the Vetas Project is adequate to support the
estimation of Mineral Resources.

RPA completed interpretation of the vein zones based on previous interpretations and data
provided by Galway. Thirteen 3D wireframes of the principal vein zones and sub-zones were
created for the estimate. The vein zone wireframes were constructed based on drill hole
intercepts provided by Galway, assay grades, and the position of those assay grades relative
to existing mine workings.
RPA is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socioeconomic, marketing, or other relevant factors that could materially affect the resource
estimate at the time of this report.

mineralization, structural features, and alteration zones. The gold-bearing vein zones occur
along altered and mineralized fault structures; however, the presence of any or all of these
geologic features does not necessitate the presence of elevated gold values.
These
characteristics of gold mineralization at Vetas are well documented in lithological logs, but
individual mineralization or deformation corridors are not well defined. Accordingly, RPAs
resource estimate is based on a vein constrained model that focuses on assay grade and
known vein orientations from underground workings.
RPA believes that adding the percentage quartz veins or veinlets of a mineralized interval to
the lithological logging template may help with vein zone interpretation and may improve
future resource estimates. Silicification is noted within the current logging template under a
general field for alteration intensity, and veining of any type is noted as a major or minor unit.
MINERALIZATION MODEL
The gold-silver mineralization in the El Volcn Mine occurs within a series of parallel
northeast striking, steeply north dipping tabular and occasionally intersecting or sigmoidal
quartz veins. Below the mine, the veins occur within a northeast-southwest trending zone
measuring 250 m wide by 550 m long. The known vertical extent of the veins is 600 m below
the current mine working, but the lower limit of the mineralization has not been defined. The
veins are hosted dominantly by gneiss and also occur at the gneiss-intrusive rock contacts.
Wireframes representing these vein zones and their respective sub-zones were constructed
based on sectional interpretations provided by Galway geologists, gold assay grades, and
the position of drill hole intersections relative to the mine workings above. RPA also notes
that veins identified at surface during Galways mapping and surface sampling programs
share similar orientations to the vein zone orientations of the mineralization wireframes. A
small number of mineralized intervals were re-assigned by RPA to different veins in order to
maintain better mineralization continuity. There are thirteen mineralized wireframes in total
that represent the eight primary vein zones. These vein zones were generated on a sectionby-section basis from drill hole intersections, with a minimum horizontal width of 1.52 m. A
number of lower grade intercepts were included in order to maintain the continuity of the
interpreted vein zone between sections but did not contribute to the tonnage of the resource
estimate. On each section, the interpreted upper and lower boundaries of the mineralized
domains were snapped to drill holes.
Page 14-2
www.rpacan.com
There are thirteen mineralized wireframes in total that represent eight vein zones. A number
of the mineralized zones were sub-divided in order to account for vein splays or potential
vein offsets.
These splays were treated as individual veins and plotted on their own
respective long sections. While the southwestern extents of the Manzanilla vein workings
show vein splays that begin to trend southward, RPA noted a few drill hole intersections
further along strike to the southwest and continued the vein interpretation in that direction.
The mineralization wireframes are shown in Figure 14-1 with the Reina de Oro and the Tajo
Abierto levels highlighted in orange and yellow respectively. Figure 14-2 shows the current
mine workings in relation to the vein zone wireframes (see Appendix 1 for details). Figures
14-3 and 14-4 show typical plan and vertical sections of the vein zones and their respective
intersection mineralized intervals.

The following is a list of the data validation checks performed on the drill hole database by
RPA:
Checked for duplicate drill hole collar locations and hole numbers.
Checked collar locations for zero/extreme values.
Checked assays for missing intervals, long intervals, extreme high values, blank/zero
values, reasonable minimum/maximum values, etc.
Ran validity checks for out-of-range values, missing intervals, overlapping intervals,
out-of-sequence intervals, etc.
Carried out visual inspection of drill holes for unusual azimuths, dips, and deviations.
The Project database provided to RPA included a total of 68 underground diamond drill
holes, 23 surface diamond drill holes, as well as chip sample data from mine development.
RPA used both diamond drill holes and chip sample data to guide interpretation and perform
the underground resource estimate.
Overall, the Vetas database provided to RPA has been well maintained and is well designed
for data validation.
approximately 35 out-of-sequence intervals, and six samples that were assigned to the
incorrect hole. RPA corrected all identified errors within the database used for the resource
estimate checks. In the opinion of RPA, the database provided to RPA is acceptable for the
purposes of resource estimation.
Page 14-8
www.rpacan.com
After completing the import validations noted above on the 91 header file records and their
respective sub-table data, RPA focused its validation efforts on comparisons between assay
values and certificate values.
RPA used digital copies of the assay certificates to validate 5,281, or 15%, of the 34,044 total
assay records in the database provided by Galway. This validation exercise covered both
surface and underground diamond drilling and included intercepts from all estimated vein
zones.
In total, RPAs assay validation revealed 86 errors, or only 1.6% of the data checked. Table
14-2 summarizes all of the different types of errors found as well as their frequency. A batch
of assays which had been inadvertently overlooked by the database manager accounts for
70 of the assay errors. All errors found were corrected to the extent possible.

RPA regards only six of the above errors to be potentially substantive, while the remainder of
the errors are considered to be marginally significant or insignificant.
Within the assay database a single field for the general assay method code is noted along
with each assay, blank, reject duplicate or standard record. RPA recommends creating
standardized, well-defined notations for each method as well as adding separate method
fields for both gold and silver to help with QA/QC management and data validation.
ASSAYS
A number of assay samples have been analyzed using multiple assay methods. The assay
grades used for the resource estimate adhered to the following precedence order: metallic
screen assay, gravimetric assay, fire assay. The database is well organized to perform
future statistical comparisons on the various analytical methods.

ASSAY CAPPING
RPAs review of high grade assay capping levels on a vein by vein basis concluded that
capping high grade assays at 50 g/t Au is reasonable for use in a resource estimate.
The grade capping was determined using a combination of histograms, decile analysis,
probability plots, and visual inspection of the spatial location of higher grade assays. The
statistical analysis considered all deposits separately.
Table 14-4 summarizes statistics on the raw data after top cuts were applied.

In general, it can be seen that the application of top cuts has improved the coefficient of
variation significantly across all deposits. The proportion of gold metal lost from capping at
the Manzanilla vein and the Loscas footwall vein is a function of four outlier assays above
450 g/t Au that represent a significant portion of total metal. In total, 32 gold and 63 silver
samples within the eight veins were capped.
COMPOSITES
After top cuts were applied to the raw data, drill hole intersection composites were
calculated. Samples were composited in full downhole intersection intervals that start at the
wireframe pierce-point for each zone, continuing to the point at which the hole exited the
zone. For drill hole intersections that did not initially achieve the minimum horizontal width of
1.52 m, equal portions of the uphole and downhole sample intervals were used until the
minimum width was attained.
Page 14-11
www.rpacan.com
The horizontal intersection width and grade of each drill hole intersection was used to
determine the grade and volume of a resource polygon for a given extrapolation distance.
Table 14-5 summarizes statistics on the composite data, excluding composites less than one
metre.

CHIP SAMPLES
RPA performed a review of the chip samples relative to the most proximal drill hole intercepts
and found that there were insufficient drill hole intercepts to conduct a meaningful local
statistical comparison.
immediate down-dip drill hole intersections with grades higher than 1.0 g/t Au over 1.52 m,
confirming the presence of a through-going mineralized structure below the current mining
level. However, due to variance inherent in the chip sampling method, RPA recommends
that Galway compare the statistics of assays from future diamond drill campaigns with the
chip-channel samples if using an inverse distance or kriging estimation method to estimate
resources.

Polygons created for chips/channels were limited vertically to not exceed a distance of 12.5
m below the floor of the current workings. Minimum block length is three samples (taken at
approximately two metre intervals perpendicular to the vein).
estimated below the bottom level of the mine workings, and at a constant horizontal level in
line with the mine workings where no actual workings exist.
This minimum width was based on current and historical mining widths attained in
various narrow-vein gold mines that use selective mining methods (shrink and conventional
cut and fill). RPA notes that the average current mined width is less than 1.5 m.
RPAs visual review of the mineralized intersections indicates that the vein orientations at
Galway vary between azimuths 035 and 050. Where the vein zones are closest to the
development, the veins show northwesterly dips between -75 and -80, but at depth the vein
zones appear to be steeper, with dips between -83 and -88.
While the 1.52 m horizontal mining width was used to model the vein zones, the polygonal
estimate was performed using the true intersection thickness on inclined sections that are
parallel to the veins. The true thickness of any drill hole within a mineralized zone was
determined in Gemcom and applied to the area of the polygon to generate a polygon volume.
The dip of the hole and the dip of the mineralized vein zone were used to calculate the
horizontal intersection width of each hole within its respective vein. A strike of 45 and a dip
of -82 were used for the estimation. For drill hole intersections that did not achieve the
minimum 1.52 m horizontal thickness, equal portions of the uphole and downhole sample
intervals were used until the minimum width was attained. Appendix 1 contains Mineral
Resource tables showing the horizontal and true thicknesses of drill hole intersections for
each vein as well as longitudinal sections of each vein.
BULK DENSITY
Galway geologists compiled 87 density measurements from holes drilled below the El Volcn
Mine. A comparison of the sample densities on a vein by vein basis indicated that the
Manzanilla vein may have a slightly higher bulk density (2.83) than the other veins (2.74),
Galway Gold Inc. Vetas Gold Project, Project #2023
Technical Report NI 43-101 November 6, 2013
Page 14-13
www.rpacan.com
however, there are an insufficient number of samples taken on the Manzanilla vein to form a
reasonable conclusion regarding density variability of the respective vein zones.
Accordingly, RPA recommends additional density measurements for all veins prior to future
resource estimate updates or economic studies.
mineralized rock and barren rock weathering types indicated a relatively insignificant
difference in density. The bulk specific gravity measurements were performed by ACME.
TREND ANALYSIS
The vein zones modelled at depth align reasonably well with the northeast trending fault
structures interpreted at surface. A map of the surface structures on the Reina de Oro
concession is provided in Figure 14-5. As mentioned previously, the majority of the surface
drilling has been completed on the western portion of the Reina de Oro concession. This
area is structurally complex and marks the intersection of east-west trending structures and
northeast-southwest trending structures.
RPA believes that shoot mineralization orientation may be more apparent on a larger scale
by observing the Reina de Oro mined stopes and resource vein wireframes, in conjunction
with both interpreted surface structures and observed underground gold-bearing structural
and/or textural vein settings. The orientation of mineralized gold-bearing shoots is somewhat
inconclusive based on both southeast and northwest grade trends observed in longitudinal
polygonal sections (Figure 14-6).
SUMMARY
Straight-sided polygons were constructed on a vertical longitudinal projection and polygons
relating to 488 drill hole intersections were defined using a 50 m maximum extrapolation
distance and a 1.5 m minimum horizontal thickness.
polygon volumes and a 2.74 tonnes/m tonnage factor was applied to estimate polygon
tonnes. The tonnage factor is supported by 87 density tests on mineralized drill core. The
polygon grades were assigned from length-weighted uncut gold grade composite averages.
A typical longitudinal projection can be observed in Figure 14-6, while a complete set of
inclined longitudinal sections as well as polygon areas, tonnages, and grades for each vein
can be found in the Appendix 2.

CUT-OFF GRADE
Based on the parameters outlined in Table 14-6 as well as other considerations, RPA has
reported the Vetas Mineral Resources at a cut-off grade of 3.00 g/t Au. RPA notes that cutoff grades may vary based on potential mining methods (e.g., shrink or cut and fill vs. longhole stoping).

CLASSIFICATION
Polygons created by RPA for chip/channel samples were given a 12.5 m down-dip area of
influence below mine development except in areas where drill hole intercepts fell within the
12.5 m buffer. All chip sample blocks were assigned a Measured classification. RPA used
the Indicated and Inferred search distances of 25 m and 50 m, respectively, to guide
classification and created larger contiguous areas of Indicated and Inferred Resources.
Figure 14-7 is a typical section showing block classifications and a complete set of inclined
longitudinal sections showing the classification of each vein can be found in the Appendix 2.

23 ADJACENT PROPERTIES
The Vetas Gold Project is located in the California-Vetas Mining District of the Department of
Santander, Colombia, which has a long history of small scale mining and more recently has
been the subject of large and advanced modern day exploration and resource delineation
programs.
The concessions to the west and in part to the south of the Reina de Oro concession are
being explored by CB Gold Inc. (CB Gold). The concessions to the northwest are held by
AUX Canada and the concessions to the northeast are being explored by Eco Oro.
On June 30, 2012, CB Gold completed the acquisition of eleven mineral properties, which
form part of its Vetas Gold Project. CB Gold is actively exploring its land holding in the Vetas
District and has recently announced drill intercepts that, for example, include 2.15 m at an
average grade of 12.36 g/t Au and 12.51 g/t Ag (diamond drill hole RM-DDH12-121) on the
Real Minera Stockwork Zone. CB Gold also recently reported an intercept of 3.37 m, at an
average grade of 19.83 g/t Au and 20.01 g/t Ag, from the El Dorado Vein System at the
depths predicted by their 3D model (CB Gold, 2012). As of November 2012, CB Gold had
completed approximately 60,000 m of drilling (Mar, 2012). Completion of the first resource
estimate for its Vetas Gold Project was expected by the end of 2012 but has subsequently
been delayed until the end of 2013.
Four major projects are located along a northeast trending structural corridor in the California
part of the California-Vetas District. These projects are operated by Eco Oro, AUX Canada,
and Galway (Figure 23-1).
Eco Oro, formerly known as Greystar, commenced exploration in the California District in
1994 and on March 25, 2009, announced the results of a positive prefeasibility study for its
Angostura Gold Project. The prefeasibility included an open pit mine with a conventional
heap leach operation to produce 4.2 million ounces of gold over the 15 year mine life
(Greystar, 2009). On July 15, 2010, Greystar announced an updated resource estimate for
its Angostura Project that included 8.9 million ounces Au and 59.6 million ounces Ag in
Measured and Indicated Resources within an operational pit using mining, metallurgical, and
geotechnical parameters available at the time (Greystar, 2010). On March 7, 2011, Greystar

announced the unsuccessful conclusion of the March 4, 2011 environmental public hearing,
held in Bucaramanga, with respect to the Angostura Project. At issue, and where there is not
community consensus, is the development of the Angostura Project, as it is located within
pramo. On April 29, 2011, Greystar released the results of a Preliminary Assessment for an
underground operation at Angostura that include the production of 1.9 million ounces Au and
7.7 million ounces Ag over a 14 year mine life (Greystar, 2011).
On March 27, 2012, Eco Oro announced the filing of an updated Preliminary Economic
Assessment at Angostura (Golder, 2012). On September 20, 2012, Eco Oro announced the
suspension of exploration activities as a result of prejudicial rulings relating to Eco Oro's
principal mining title, concession 3452, and the ongoing delay in defining the boundaries of
the proposed Regional Park and Pramo of Santurbn.
Ventana initiated work on the La Bodega Project, located along strike and immediately to the
southwest of the Angostura Project, in 2006. On November 8, 2010, Ventana announced an
initial resource estimate and results of a Scoping Study for the La Bodega Project. The
Inferred Resource estimate totals 3.5 million ounces of gold, 19.2 million ounces of silver,
and 84.6 million pounds of copper and the Scoping Study resulted in a 14 year mine life from
underground mining operations at a production rate of 7,500 tpd (Ventana, 2010). On March
16, 2011, Ventana announced the completion of the acquisition of Ventana by AUX Canada.
Southwest of the La Bodega Project and along structural strike from the Angostura and La
Bodega projects are the California Project concessions of AUX (formerly owned by Calvista
and Galway Resources). In October 2012, AUX entered into an agreement to acquire all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Calvista for total consideration of approximately C$60
million in cash. This transaction came shortly after Calvista announced Mineral Resource
estimates for both the Callejn Blanco and Buenavista prospects.
Calvista indicated in
public disclosure that, the Callejn Blanco and Buenavista targets have the hallmarks of a
porphyry Cu Mo Au style deposit. Galways Vetas Project was spun out of Galway
Resources into Galway Gold Inc. after Galway Resources California project was acquired by
AUX Acquisition 2 S.r.l on December 20, 2012 for total consideration of approximately
C$340 million in cash. This transaction came after Galway announced an initial Mineral
Resource estimate and positive metallurgical results from the first 30 months of drilling at its
California gold-silver property.

Epithermal gold-silver mineralization is the dominant deposit type in the CaliforniaVetas Mining District and application of the epithermal gold-silver and related
porphyry mineralization model is appropriate.
The occurrence of porphyry style veinlets underground at the El Volcn Mine and the
results from surface drilling suggest that a porphyry style of mineralization may be
present on the Vetas property. However, the exploration and development of targets
for porphyry type mineralization, in the district and on the Vetas Gold Project, is still at
an early stage.
The Vetas Gold Project comprises one concession totalling 124 ha. The El Volcn
Mine is the primary target for exploration and resource delineation, however, the
Project also holds potential for early stage exploration and discovery of new targets.
The procedures for diamond drilling used at the Project are consistent with industry
best practices and RPA is not aware of any factors that could materially impact the
accuracy and reliability of the results. The results and interpretation of drilling
completed can support the planning of continued drilling programs.
Sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures for the diamond drilling and
exploration programs are adequate.
The QA/QC program implemented by Galway and the results, evaluated by RPA, are
acceptable.
The database provided to RPA is acceptable for the purposes of resource estimation.
Diamond drilling has intersected the major vein structures historically developed at
the El Volcn Mine. In addition, drilling has intersected a number of veins and
structures at positions between, and adjacent to, the interpreted projections of the
major veins. The distribution of vein/structure intersections, including grade and
thickness considerations, suggests that El Volcn Mine mineralization may occur in
an environment of main structures with branching, anastomosing, and linking
structures.
The vein zones defined by diamond drilling in this Mineral Resource estimate are still
open along strike to the southwest and northeast as well as down dip, indicating that
there may be potential to discover and delineate additional resources.
Page 25-1
www.rpacan.com
Continued drilling within the domain of the El Volcn Mine as well as below and along
strike is warranted to further explore for and delineate resources.
Interpretation of the vein zones defined within this estimate, integrated with the
mapping and sampling of the El Volcn drifts, will form the basis for a drill program
focused on resource expansion.
The results of surface drilling on exploration targets are positive and indicate that the
continued development and evaluation of early stage exploration targets on the
property is warranted.
RPA estimates 24,100 tonnes of Measured Resources at a grade of 7.79 g/t Au and
12.4 g/t Ag, for a total of 6,100 ounces of gold and 9,600 ounces of silver.
RPA estimates 647,400 tonnes of Indicated Resources at a grade of 10.62 g/t Au and
14.9 g/t Ag, for a total of 221,100 ounces of gold and 310,700 ounces of silver.
RPA estimates 1,159,000 tonnes of Inferred Resources at a grade of 10.3 g/t Au and
15.3 g/t Ag, for a total of 384,000 ounces of gold and 569,000 ounces of silver.

26 RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site visits and review of the available documentation, RPA recommends that
the Vetas Gold Project continue to be evaluated.
proposed that includes continued evaluation of both the El Volcn Mine to support a Mineral
Resource estimate as well additional exploration on potential targets.
RPA has evaluated the interpretation completed to date and concurs with the approach taken
by Galway. In RPAs opinion, Galway should focus on assessing the spatial distribution of
gold grade and thickness of the individual vein structures. In addition, RPA recommends that
Galway:
Select reject samples after receiving the initial assay results in order to ensure that
duplicates are tested using matching analytical methods and that a variety of grade
ranges are covered.
Introduce CRM for silver into the QA/QC process, covering the expected range of
concentrations of the deposit, if Galway believes that silver may potentially represent
a payable metal.
Compare the statistics of assays from future diamond drill campaigns with the chipchannel samples if an inverse distance or kriging estimation method is used to
estimate resources.
Complete additional density measurements for all veins prior to future resource
estimate updates or economic studies.
Page 26-1
www.rpacan.com
Galway has proposed the following work plan and budget. RPA has reviewed the plan and
considers the proposed program and budget to be reasonable.
Galway will proceed with the plan contingent on favorable market conditions.
Undertake a concerted effort to channel/chip sample and survey all old workings
above the bottom level of the mine, in a safe manner. It is recommended hiring local
miners to re-install ladders, etc. RPA believes that a Mineral Resource estimate can
be prepared based on the sampling of mine areas without the need to drill, which is
much more cost effective.
