Galleon Gold Receives Final Registration for the Mining Land Lease at its West Cache Project

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 26, 2022) - Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the "Company" or "Galleon Gold") is pleased to report it has received the final documentation related to the registration of the mining lease for the West Cache Gold Project ("West Cache" or the "Project").

The granting of the new 21- year mining lease, #110033, is an important milestone for the Project. Lease status is required before mining activities such as infrastructure development and ore extraction can be conducted on the property. With the lease in hand, the Company will continue to complete the detailed engineering design work and baseline studies required for the bulk sample permit application.

R. David Russell, President and CEO of Galleon Gold commented, "Converting the mining claims to lease status has been a high priority for us and we are very pleased to have received the formal registration from the Province of Ontario. With this step completed we are on track to advance the project to the test mining phase."
