FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



       GALAXY ENERGY REPORTS RECEIVING AN AMEX NOTICE INDICATING THAT THE
     COMPANY DOES NOT MEET ONE OF THE EXCHANGE'S CONTINUED LISTING STANDARDS

DENVER,  CO. APRIL 26, 2006. On April 25, 2006, Galaxy Energy Corporation (Amex:
GAX) received a notice of failure to satisfy Section 1003(a)(iv) of the American
Stock Exchange ("AMEX") Company Guide for continued listing on AMEX. Such notice
is a result of the  recent  losses  that  Galaxy has  sustained,  as well as its
significant  working capital  deficiency as reported in its quarterly  report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended  February 28, 2006.  Galaxy  expects to submit a
plan to AMEX by May 10,  2006,  in which it will  advise  AMEX of  action it has
taken,  or  will  take,  that  would  bring  it  into  compliance  with  Section
1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide by July 24, 2006.  The actions taken,  or to be
taken,  by Galaxy  which will be  reported  to AMEX  include the raising of $4.5
million  in  Subordinated  Convertible  Debenture  financing  that  the  Company
announced this morning. The AMEX was unaware of the completion of that financing
at the time it sent its notice to the Company  indicating  that the Company does
not meet one of the AMEX's continued listing standards.
