Galena International Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GTO) wishes to
report that it has posted, to SEDAR the independent technical report, resource
evaluation of the Chaves Geothermal prospect. The report was prepared by
GeothermEx, Inc. of Richmond, California.


GeothermEx, Inc., specializes exclusively in providing consulting, operational,
and training in the exploration, development, assessment and valuation of
geothermal energy. GeothermEx is the largest and longest-established such
organization in the Western Hemisphere, and as such GeothermEx has been
associated with more than 750 projects in 44 countries acting for both
government agencies and private companies.


Galena is the holder of a geothermal exploration concession at and surrounding
the town of Chaves, Portugal, where historic hot springs indicate the presence
of geothermal resource that potentially may be exploited to generate
electricity. The concession covers an approximate 200km2 area, which includes a
protected zone at the historic hot springs and a few adjacent shallow wells. The
area is easily accessed by major and minor roads, population density is
moderate, and water is abundant and should be available for the Company's future
drilling programs.


The Chaves geothermal region was extensively studied by academic/scientific
interests in the early 1990's, with funding from the EU, directed towards
exploration of the geothermal resource. Only a few shallow wells are present in
the area and no deep drilling was done, but the studies indicate that further
exploration is warranted.


The Company has a proposed exploration work program, which includes more
comprehensive collection and evaluation of existing data, geophysical studies,
and drilling to shallow and intermediate depths to define the subsurface
temperature distribution. If warranted, further drilling of deep production
diameter wells will be needed to confirm the resource.
