Galahad Prepares for Regcourt Drilling


OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 22, 2010) - Galahad Metals Inc. 
("GAX") (TSX VENTURE:GAX) is pleased to announce that technicians from the 
geological consulting firm of MRB & Associates (MRB) of Val-d'Or (Quebec) 
have visited the Regcourt Property, confirmed that the site is suitable for 
a fall diamond-drilling programme, and have proceeded to spot the 
drill-collar locations.

On behalf of Galahad, MRB has also initiated discussions with local First 
Nation representatives to secure permission to drill in the area, which 
falls within their traditional hunting grounds. Early indications are that 
the drill program will be permitted to proceed as planned; however, Galahad 
has decided to delay commencement of drilling until October 25th, so as not 
to interfere with the local moose hunting season.

The planned exploration campaign will comprise 9 holes and total 2,350 
metres. The programme is designed to explore and validate historic drill- 
and underground-intersections around the abandoned Regcourt Mine, and to 
target the projected downward extensions of veins and other planar 
mineralized structures, especially along their interpreted, linear 
intersection zones.

As previously reported by Galahad, the gold mineralization at the historic 
Regcourt Mine is hosted in shear-zone-associated quartz veins in close 
proximity to a granodiorite intrusion, typical of many of the gold mines in 
the Val d'Or Gold Camp. A preliminary review of the historic data, 
projected in a 3-D model, indicates that the mineralized vein system 
continues below the historic workings, which only reached 165 metres.

The Regcourt deposit was discovered on surface in 1944 with the principle 
vein yielding an average gold grade of 8.13 g/t over an average width of 
0.76 m along a strike length of 67 m. Underground development from 1944-46 
comprised excavating a 544 foot shaft and 1,317 feet of cross-cuts and 
drifts that allowed underground exploration of the deposit. An historic 
mineral inventory of 61,000 tonnes gold @ 5.49 g/t (10,766 ounces Au) was 
estimated by a Toronto-based consulting firm in 1983. As this is an 
historical estimate and was not prepared in compliance with the NI 43-101 
requirements, it cannot be relied on.

Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the Regcourt 
Project and has approved the contents of this release.
