Galantas Gold to Commence New Surface Exploration Drilling at the Omagh Gold Project

TORONTO, June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF) ("Galantas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a new surface drilling program at the Omagh Gold Project in Northern Ireland in early July.

Following a meeting of the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council (FODC) Planning Committee on June 21, 2023, the Company has Permitted Development rights to commence drilling of eight exploration holes at the Omagh Project site. The holes will target gaps and areas of the inferred resource at the main Joshua Vein, including an additional predicted dilation zone, which has potential for higher widths of mineralization. The dilation zones identified to date at the Joshua Vein, located approximately 400 metres from the other main Kearney Vein, are expected to be incorporated into mine planning and future mine development, including potential plans to drill Joshua from underground to advance mining and resource expansion.

Earlier results of drilling associated with dilation zones include the following core intersections:

• 21.2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 2.1 metres of core in hole OM-DD-12-122 (see Galantas news release dated October 29, 2012).
• 12.4 g/t Au over 5.6 metres of core in hole OM-DD-13-147 (see Galantas news release dated August 27, 2013).
• 8.4 g/t Au over 26.6 metres of core in hole OM-DD-12-103 (see Galantas news release dated June 11, 2012).
  

Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: "We are excited to mobilize the drill to embark on this new phase of exploration, as we transition from underground drilling to surface drilling. Information gathered during this drill program will be critical in helping us optimize the mine plan and potentially add high-grade ounces to production."
