Galway Metals Announces Closing of Oversubscribed Private Placement

TORONTO, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV: GWM) ('Galway' or the 'Corporation') is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement (the 'Private Placement') consisting of an aggregate of 7,350,000 flow-through shares of the Corporation ('FT Shares') at a price of $0.36 per FT Share and 4,635,000 units of the Corporation ('Units') at a price of $0.33 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of $4,175,550. The original offering was increased as the amount surpassed the Corporation's previous target of $4,000,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation, and one common share purchase warrant (a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the Corporation for an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of 3 years from the closing date of the Private Placement. Each FT Share qualifies as 'flow-through shares' within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the 'Tax Act'). The gross proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for 'Canadian exploration expenses' (within the meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, as 'flow-through mining expenditures', as defined in the Tax Act, which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2025 (provided the subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation at all relevant times) to the subscribers of FT Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, arm's-length finders, Eskar Capital Corporation, Devon Capital Inc., and Generic Capital Corporation will receive an aggregate of $116,640 as cash finders' commissions.

FTA and its affiliate First Trust Portfolios L.P. ("FTP"), a FINRA registered broker-dealer, are privately-held companies that provide a variety of investment services. FTA has collective assets under management or supervision of approximately $255 billion as of April 30, 2025 through unit investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, mutual funds and separate managed accounts. FTA is the supervisor of the First Trust unit investment trusts, while FTP is the sponsor. FTP is also a distributor of mutual fund shares and exchange-traded fund creation units. FTA and FTP are based in Wheaton, Illinois. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a Fund before investing. Prospectuses for the Funds contain this and other important information and are available free of charge by calling toll-free at 1-800-621-1675 or visiting A prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Principal Risk Factors: You could lose money by investing in a fund. An investment in a fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed. There can be no assurance that a fund's objective(s) will be achieved. Investors buying or selling shares on the secondary market may incur customary brokerage commissions. Please refer to each fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for additional details on a fund's risks. The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor. Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment return and market value of an investment in a Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A Fund's shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in a Fund. An investment in a Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. There can be no assurance that a Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. An investment in a Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any portfolio of equity securities traded on exchanges. The risks of investing in each Fund are spelled out in its prospectus, shareholder report, and other regulatory filings. ETF shares may only be redeemed directly from a fund by authorized participants in very large creation/redemption units. ETF shares may trade at a discount to net asset value and possibly face delisting. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may experience greater price volatility and be less liquid than larger, more established companies whereas large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate than the overall market. A fund that effects all or a portion of its creations and redemptions for cash rather than in-kind may be less tax efficient. Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular investment, or shares of the fund in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. For example, changes in governmental fiscal and regulatory policies, disruptions to banking and real estate markets, actual and threatened international armed conflicts and hostilities, and public health crises, among other significant events, could have a material impact on the value of the fund's investments. A fund normally distributes income it earns, so a fund may be required to reduce its distributions if it has insufficient income. Distributions in excess of a Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. There may be other circumstances when all or a portion of a Fund's distribution is treated as a return of capital, for example, there are times when Fund securities are sold to cover a derivative position that generated all or a portion of the distribution that could lead to a return of capital. A fund is susceptible to operational risks through breaches in cyber security. Such events could cause a fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Trading FLEX Options involves risks different than, and possibly greater than, investing directly in securities. A Target Outcome fund may experience substantial downside for FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. There can be no guarantee that a liquid secondary market will exist for the FLEX Options and the FLEX Options may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In managing a fund's investment portfolio, the portfolio managers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses that may not have the desired result. Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or shares of a fund in general may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as general economic conditions, political events, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of a fund could decline in value or underperform other investments as a result. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious disease or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have significant negative impact on a fund. A fund classified as "non-diversified" may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, a fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly concentrated in certain issuers. A fund and a fund's advisor may seek to reduce various operational risks through controls and procedures, but it is not possible to completely protect against such risks. A fund also relies on third parties for a range of services, including custody, and any delay or failure related to those services may affect a fund's ability to achieve its objectives. Certain funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be appropriate for all investors. The investment strategy is designed to deliver returns that match, or for the X series are approximately twice those of, the reference asset if a fund's shares are bought on the day on which a fund enters into the Flexible Exchange Options® ("FLEX Options") (i.e., the first day of a Target Outcome Period) and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Target Outcome Period subject to a pre-determined upside cap, while limiting downside losses. If the Underlying ETF experiences gains during a Target Outcome Period, a fund will not participate in those gains on a one-to-one basis or beyond the cap. If an investor does not hold its fund shares for an entire Target Outcome Period, the returns realized by that investor may not match those a fund seeks to achieve. In the event an investor purchases fund shares after the first day of a Target Outcome Period or sells shares prior to the expiration of the Target Outcome Period, the value of that investor's investment in fund shares may not be buffered against a decline in the value of the reference asset and may not participate in a gain in the value of the reference asset up to the cap for the investor's investment period. A shareholder may lose their entire investment. Commodity prices can have a significant volatility and exposure to commodities can cause the value of a fund's shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner. Certain securities are subject to call, credit, extension, income, inflation, interest rate, prepayment and zero coupon risks. These risks could result in a decline in a security's value and/or income, increased volatility as interest rates rise or fall and have an adverse impact on a fund's performance. The use of listed and OTC derivatives, including futures, options, swap agreements and forward contracts, can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. Subsidiary investment risk applies to a fund that invests in certain securities through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund that is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Subsidiary"). Changes in the laws of the U.S. and/or Cayman Islands could result in the inability of a fund to operate as intended. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Thus, a fund that is as an investor in the Subsidiary will not have all the protections offered to investors in registered investment companies.

Declared foreigners who did not appeal in the court we had been pushed back. On Thursday we apprehended 35 Bangladeshi nationals along the Meghalaya and Silchar border. They came some days back and we instantly pushed them back.'He added, 'In meeting with SPs in Dergaon we have decided that we will fast track the process of detection of foreigners. As the National Register of Citizens (NRC) process was underway, detection of foreigners was temporarily suspended. So in the days to come detection will take place, push back will be done and the government of India after talks with the Bangladesh government will send some foreigners. So these three ways will continue.'Chief minister said, 'Whoever has not gone to higher judiciary despite being declared a foreigner, and not preferred appeal against the tribunal order, they must go.

The repatriation during the pendency of a Supreme Court case constitutes a grave breach of the judicial process. This further violates international human rights standards."

My husband is Indian; we know justice will prevail: Wife of Assam man deported to Bangladesh

For Rita Khanam, faith in God remains her final refuge as she waits anxiously for news of her husband, whom she last saw in a video earlier this week. The footage, reportedly shot in the 'no man's land' along the Indo-Bangladesh border in Assam's South Salmara Mankachar district, has left her distraught and searching for answers. Speaking to PTI over the phone from her home at Khandapukhuri in Morigaon district, Khanam said her family is in touch with the authorities and has submitted documents to prove her husband Khairul Islam's Indian nationality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo She remains hopeful that "justice will prevail." Islam was among nine persons arrested by Morigaon police on May 24 in a crackdown on illegal immigrants declared by the Foreigners' Tribunal (FT), but who had been evading deportation. Live Events Along with his three siblings, Islam was declared a foreigner by the FT in 2016, a decision he challenged in the Gauhati High Court . The High Court upheld the FT's ruling, leading to his detention in 2018. He was set free in 2020 following a Supreme Court general order to release all detainees who had spent more than two years in jail. "My husband is a former school teacher and a law-abiding citizen. On May 23, personnel from Mikirbheta police station came to our house and took him away, saying they had a few questions and he could return home after that," Khanam said. Khanam said she had a gut feeling that the situation was more serious, as police came at a late hour. "And the next thing we know, he was taken to Morigaon SP's office and from there, to the detention camp at Matia (in Goalpara district). And then, the video emerged where we found that he had been deported to Bangladesh ," she claimed. Islam is believed to be among 14 illegal Bangladeshi nationals who were sent back to their country by the BSF through the South Salmara Mankachar border on Tuesday. Though a BSF officer, who refused to be identified, had confirmed deporting the persons, an official statement by the force said a "large group of Bangladeshis" had attempted to infiltrate, which was successfully thwarted by the border guards. Khanam claimed that her husband's appeal against the FT decision is pending before the Supreme Court, though local police maintained that they had the necessary clearance for his deportation. "In the case of Khairul Islam, we had the necessary clearance to deport him. But for his two brothers and a sister, who were also declared foreigners by the FT, we are awaiting legal formalities. Hence, we have not detained them," a local police officer told PTI. Khanam is confident of her husband's Indian nationality, and their family members are already in touch with the authorities to present necessary documents. "Our relatives are pursuing the matter. We know that he is an Indian and I have full faith in 'Ishwar and Allah' that he will return," she said, as she waited at their residence with her two teenaged children for Islam.
