Galloper Gold Drills Into Emerging New Discovery on Glover Island
Galloper Gold Corp. (CSE:BOOM)(OTC PINK:GGDCF) (the "Company" or "Galloper") has drilled multiple mineralized intervals near-surface to depths of 200 meters in a series of test holes at the Lucky Smoke occurrence on Glover Island in Western Newfoundland, supporting the potential for a second deposit on the Island along a promising under-explored contact zone traced for a minimum of 12 kilometers.
Highlights:
15 m @ 2.62 g/t Au, including 1 m @ 18.79 g/t Au, starting at a downhole length of 137 m in LS-24-02;
3.80 m @ 6.92 g/t Au starting 146.5 m downhole in LS-24-04, above 23.5 m @ 0.72 g/t Au beginning just 32.5 m from surface;
4 m @ 4.59 g/t Au within 21.50 m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 117 m to 144.5 m in LS-24-06.
Mr. Hratch Jabrayan, Galloper CEO, commented: "These holes were designed to broaden our understanding of Glover Island's geology and mineralization characteristics ahead of a bigger Phase 2 program in 2025, since no drilling has occurred at Glover Island in more than a dozen years and was focused primarily on the Lunch Pond deposit 6.5 km to the south of Lucky Smoke.
"What we have discovered points to the distinct possibility of multiple shallow deposits lined up along a contact zone that may continue well beyond its original 12 km estimate. In addition, we continue to evaluate a parallel trend to the west prospective for copper mineralization, with more details to follow early in the New Year."
The six shallow drill holes completed by Galloper have defined mineralization at Lucky Smoke over a strike length of approximately 400 meters. Gold is carried in pyrite (no arsenopyrite noted in logging) found within silicified felsic volcanics in the Kettle Pond Formation, the same unit that hosts the Lunch Pond deposit.
3D modeling sections are being completed to allow interpretations as to the continuity of the mineralization and geology at Lucky Smoke.
Glover Island Geological Setting
Glover Island is situated in very favorable terrane along the regional Baie-Verte Brompton Line-Cabot Fault Zone (BCZ), a major boundary between the Humber and Dunnage Zones.
Glover Island in a Broader Regional Context
62 km south is Caliber Gold's multi-million ounce Valentine Gold mine slated for production beginning in 2025;
55 km due west is the prolific past producing Buchans mine (1928-1984), one of the richest base metal mines in Canadian history, in an area that includes recently defined resources and a number of prospects;
82 km southwest is Atlas Salt's world class Great Atlantic Salt Project advancing toward the construction phase.

Qualified Person
The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Peter Lauder, P.Geo., Director and Senior Geologist for Galloper Gold. Mr. Lauder is the Qualified Person responsible for the scientific and technical information contained herein under National Instrument 43-101 standards.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The core was logged and sampled following current industry standards and was split by contractor personnel and supervised by a geologist. Samples, along with the standards and blanks that were included for quality assurance and quality control, were shipped to Eastern Analytical Laboratories in Springdale, Newfoundland, for analysis. The analytical method utilized was Fire Assay (30g) for gold and with AA Finish and four acid ICP 34 for other elements. Two types of certified standard reference material samples, OREAS211 (768 ppb) and OREAS236 (1850 ppb), were alternately inserted into the sample sequence every 40 samples. Blank material was inserted every 40 samples, alternating with the standards. Quarter split duplicates of the samples were taken every 50 samples. All standard results fell within two standard deviations of the acceptable value, other than one, which was mislabeled. All the blank results reported were below the minimum detectable value. Eastern Analytical Lab also included their own inhouse QA/QC program.
