GALANTAS GOLD CORPORATION
GALANTAS GOLD TO COMMENCE NEW EXPLORATION DRILLING PROGRAM AT
OMAGH
JULY 26, 2021, Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V: GAL; AIM: GAL)
("Galantas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the imminent
commencement of an initial Phase 1 surface and underground
exploration program comprising of 4,000 metres of diamond drilling
at the Omagh gold mine in Northern Ireland. Drilling will focus on
the Kearney and Joshua veins, two of many high-priority targets on
the Company's land package. Underground drilling on the Kearney
vein will test deeper extensions of mineralized dilation zones
targeting higher widths of mineralization within the vein. Drilling
will also target continuity and grade of additional mineralized
zones running parallel to the main orebody. Drill results will
support the mine plan as the Company moves into a new phase of
underground mining and accelerated development.
An overview of the location of the main veins relative to other
drill targets and historical significant vein intersects on the
Joshua and Kearney veins can be viewed at the following link:

The Company has currently completed 2,000 metres of underground
development at Kearney and development is currently within 240
metres of accessing the Joshua vein. Development has recently
restarted on the Joshua decline.
The surface drilling program will target the Joshua vein. The
Company will follow up on its best intersection to date of 21.6
metres of 9.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (13 metres true width) at
a vertical depth of 117.2 metres (hole OML-DD-15- 155), which was
identified towards the end of the last drilling program in 2015, as
announced 25(th) January 2016. Drilling will also target a central
area of the vein 70 metres from where the underground development
is first planned to intersect the Joshua vein. Earlier drilling of
central Joshua include hole OM-DD-11-103 resulting in 26.6 metres
of 8.4 g/t gold (4.5 metres true width) as announced 11(th) June
2012.
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: "We are excited to
kick-off drilling to unlock
the significant exploration upside at Omagh, on the heels of our
oversubscribed private placement. This exploration program
represents a critical opportunity for Galantas to extend the mine
life and expand high-grade gold production."
