Company Statement

Galantas Gold Corporation is a Canadian public company that trades on the TSX-Venture Exchange and the London Stock Exchange AIM market, both under the symbol GAL.

Galantas Gold Corporation is building Ireland's first gold mine on its 189 sq km exclusive Prospecting Licence. The corporate aim is to increase the resource base on the property through exploration and mine development, to expand mine production in stages, and to add value to the Company's production by marketing and selling certified Galantas Irish gold jewellery.

The Company's mission is to create shareholder value by bringing Ireland's first gold mine into production and add value to the production by utilizing the rare Irish gold to fashion an exclusive line of high quality 18-carat gold jewellery.

The Company's strategic plan employs a dual approach that begins with bringing the fully permitted Omagh mining operation into production as soon as possible. A processing plant has been built and is in advanced testing. Once the mine is in full production, it is intended that part of the gold recovered from the mine will be designed into certified, 18-carat Irish Gold jewellery and marketed directly to retail channels under the Galantas brand. The remainder of the gold will be sold via a flotation concentrate off-take agreement already signed with Falconbridge Ltd.


Current Operations

OMAGH PROJECT
The Omagh Mine Project is located in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It extends for 20 kilometres westward from the town of Omagh to the village of Lack, covering an area measuring 189 square kilometres. The property is easily accessible by paved roads from the city of Omagh while a number of farm roads transverse the property. Two power lines that carry 33 kilovolts and 11 kilovolts traverse the eastern section of the property.

The geology of the property includes upper Dalradian medasediments which are known to host a number of gold-bearing structures. Significant gold deposits have been found in similar geological settings in Ireland and Scotland, and the strike extensions of the Dalradian belt into North America and Scandinavia host several important gold mines.

Since acquiring the property, Galantas Gold Corp and their predecessors, Omagh Minerals have focused most of their exploration efforts on the main Cavanacaw (Kearney) gold deposit by completing an additional 42 diamond drill holes and extensive overburden stripping and bulk sampling. Limited work has been carried out to define the extent of fifteen other identified mineralized structures on the mining license.
