Sales revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $Nil compared to revenue of $Nil for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Shipments of concentrate commenced during the third quarter of 2019. Concentrate sales provisional revenues totalled US$329,000 for the third quarter of 2021 compared to US$690,000 for the third quarter of 2020. Until the mine commences commercial production, the net proceeds from concentrate sales are being offset against development assets.

The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $ 1,173,276 (2020: $776,956) and the cash inflow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $(1,116,243 (2020: ($359,304)). The difference in the net loss is mainly due to stock based compensation and additional investor relations costs and marketing activities.

The Company had a cash balance of $3,881,674 at September 30, 2021 compared to $638,433 at September 30, 2020. The working capital surplus at September 30, 2021 amounted to $2,454,581 compared to a working capital deficit of $7,700,406 at June 30, 2020.

Exploration

The Company, during the month of July, began an initial 4,000-metre Phase 1 drill program targeting the Joshua Vein from surface, and targeting the Kearney Vein with underground drilling.

On November 24, 2021, Galantas announced results for the second underground hole in this drilling program. The highlights of this drilling program are detailed in the release and include a significant intercept of 26.7 g/t gold over 2.9 metres on the Kearney vein system. On October 12, 2021, Galantas announced initial drill results which included an intercept of 17.7 g/t gold over 2.5 metres.

Mine Development

Safety is a high priority and the Company continued to invest in safety-related training and infrastructure. The zero lost-time accident rate since the start of underground operations continues. Environmental monitoring demonstrates a high level of regulatory compliance. With the new management and operations team in place, detailed review of mine plans and production profile are ongoing.

Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: "The Company has made great strides in advancing the Omagh Project with the commencement of drilling to increase the confidence of resources for mine planning while also looking to expand known resources. Operationally, the Company has secured critical new mining equipment to support mining activities while strengthening the site management and operations team as we commence a phased restart of operations early in the new year."

The detailed results and Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) are available on www.sedar.com and www.galantas.com , and the highlights in this release should be read in conjunction with the detailed results and MD&A. The MD&A provides an analysis of comparisons with previous periods, trends affecting the business and risk factors.

The notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements.

1. Going Concern

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that Galantas Gold Corporation (the "Company") will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's future viability depends on the consolidated results of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Cavanacaw Corporation ("Cavanacaw"). Cavanacaw has a 100% shareholding in both Flintridge Resources Limited ("Flintridge") who are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in Omagh, Northern Ireland and Omagh Minerals Limited ("Omagh") who are engaged in the exploration of gold properties, mainly in the Republic of Ireland. The Omagh mine has an

open pit mine, which was in production until 2013 when production was suspended and is reported as property, plant and equipment and as an underground mine which having established technical feasibility and commercial viability in December 2018 has resulted in associated exploration and evaluation assets being reclassified as an intangible development asset and reported as property, plant and equipment.

The going concern assumption is dependent upon forecast cash flows being met, further financing currently being negotiated. The directors assumptions in relation to future levels of production, gold prices and mine operating and capital costs are crucial to forecast cash flows being achieved. Should production be significantly delayed, revenues fall short of expectations or operating costs and capital costs increase significantly, there may be insufficient cash flows to sustain day to day operations without seeking further finance.

Negotiations with current finance providers to extend short-term loans have progressed positively and the maturity dates for both the G&F Phelps Ltd. ("G&F Phelps") and Ocean Partners loans have now been extended to December 31, 2023. The Company also raised gross proceeds of $8M through the issuance of shares to new and current investors to meet the financial requirements of the Company for the foreseeable future. Based on the financial projections prepared, the directors believe it's appropriate to prepare the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements on the going concern basis.

As at September 30, 2021, the Company had a deficit of $53,247,607 (December 31, 2020 - $48,545,800). Comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $4,966,612 (nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $2,440,216). These conditions raise material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. However, management is confident that it will continue as a going concern. However, this is subject to a number of factors including market conditions.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and financial position classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

2. Incorporation and Nature of Operations

The Company was formed on September 20, 1996 under the name Montemor Resources Inc. on the amalgamation of 1169479 Ontario Inc. and Consolidated Deer Creek Resources Limited. The name was changed to European Gold Resources Inc. by articles of amendment dated July 25, 1997. On May 5, 2004, the Company changed its name from European Gold Resources Inc. to Galantas Gold Corporation. The Company was incorporated to explore for and develop mineral resource properties, principally in Europe. In 1997, it purchased all of the shares of Omagh which owns a mineral property in Northern Ireland, including a delineated gold deposit. Omagh obtained full planning and environmental consents necessary to bring its property into production.

The Company entered into an agreement on April 17, 2000, approved by shareholders on June 26, 2000, whereby Cavanacaw, a private Ontario corporation, acquired Omagh. Cavanacaw has established an open pit mine to extract the Company's gold deposit near Omagh, Northern Ireland. Cavanacaw also has developed a premium jewellery business founded on the gold produced under the name Galántas Irish Gold Limited ("Galántas"). As at July 1, 2007, the Company's Omagh mine began production and in 2013 production was suspended. On April 1, 2014, Galántas amalgamated its jewelry business with Omagh.

On April 8, 2014, Cavanacaw acquired Flintridge. Following a strategic review of its business by the Company during 2014 certain assets owned by Omagh were acquired by Flintridge.

On April 17, 2020, the Company completed a share consolidation of its share capital on the basis of ten existing common shares for one new common share consolidation.

The Company's operations include the consolidated results of Cavanacaw, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Omagh, Galántas and Flintridge.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and London Stock Exchange AIM under the symbol GAL. On September 1, 2021, the Company announced that its common shares are now qualified for trading under the symbol GALKF on the OTCQX in the United States. The primary office is located at The Canadian Venture Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

3. Basis of Preparation

Statement of compliance

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 26, 2021 the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

8. Decommissioning Liability

The Company's decommissioning liability is a result of mining activities at the Omagh mine in Northern Ireland. The Company estimated its decommissioning liability at September 30, 2021 based on a risk-free discount rate of 1% (December 31, 2020 - 1%) and an inflation rate of 1.50% (December 31, 2020 - 1.50%). The expected undiscounted future obligations allowing for inflation are GBP 330,000 and based on management's best estimate the decommissioning is expected to occur over the next 5 to 10 years. On September 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the liability is $597,505 (December 31, 2020 - $598,275). Changes in the provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

(i) In April 2018, the Company signed a concentrate pre-payment agreement and loan facility for US$1.6 million with a United Kingdom based company (the "Lender"), with a maturity date of December 31, 2020. The interest was set at US$ 12 month LIBOR + 8.75% and payable monthly. No interest shall be charged for 6 months and repayments commenced against deliveries in 2019. There was a US$25,000 arrangement fee.

In respect of the loan facility, a fixed and floating security, subordinated to an existing security to G&F Phelps, is being put in place over Flintridge assets. G&F Phelps has a first charge on Flintridge assets in respect of its loan facility and the Lender required an intercreditor agreement between G&F Phelps and the Lender.

As consideration for the loan facility, the United Kingdom based company received 1,500,000 bonus warrants of the Company. Each bonus warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company and is subject to an initial four months plus one day hold period from the date of issuance of the bonus warrants. The bonus warrants have a maximum life of two years (the "Expiry Time"). On April 19, 2018, the 1,500,000 bonus warrants were granted. In the event that the weighted average closing price per common share of the Company is more than $2.00 per share for more than five consecutive trading days, the Company shall be entitled to accelerate the Expiry Time to a date that is 30 days from the date on which the Company announces the accelerated Expiry Time by press release.

The fair value of the 1,500,000 bonus warrants was estimated at $786,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 113.55%, risk-free interest rate - 1.91% and an expected average life of 2 years.

On July 9, 2020, the Company amended the terms of its loan facility of an increase in the outstanding loan facility. The amount of the loan facility increased by US$200,000 to a total of US$1.8 million. On November 12, 2020, the additional US$200,000 loan facility was drawn down by the Company. The interest rate applicable on the loan facility increased from US$ 12 month LIBOR + 8.75% to US$ 12 month LIBOR + 9.9% and the maturity date was extended from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Interest could be rolled into the loan facility until December 31, 2021, at the Company's option.

As consideration for amending the terms of the loan facility, the Lender received on August 14, 2020, 1,700,000 bonus warrants of Galantas ("Bonus Warrants"). Each Bonus Warrant will be exercisable for one common share of Galantas (a "Bonus Share") at an exercise price of $0.33 per Bonus Share. The Bonus Warrants will expire on December 31, 2021 (the "Expiry Date") and the Bonus Shares will be subject to an initial four month plus one day hold period from the date of their issuance. In the event that the weighted average closing price per common share of the Company is more than $0.4125 per share for more than five consecutive trading days, the Company shall be entitled to accelerate the Expiry Date to a date that is 30 days from the date on which the Company announces the accelerated Expiry Date by press release.

The fair value of the 1,700,000 bonus warrants was estimated at $340,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 165.75%, risk-free interest rate - 0.27% and an expected average life of 1.38 years.

16. Contingency

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Omagh received a payment demand from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") in the amount of $521,036 (GBP 304,290) in connection with an aggregate levy arising from the removal of waste rock from the mine site during 2008 and early 2009. Omagh Minerals believed this claim to be without merit. An appeal was lodged with the Tax Tribunals Service and the hearing started at the beginning of March 2017 and following a number of adjournments was completed in August 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Tax Tribunals Service issued their judgement dismissing the appeal by Omagh in respect of the assessments. A provision has now been included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in respect of the aggregates levy plus interest and penalty.

There is a contingent liability in respect of potential additional interest which may be applied in respect of the aggregates levy dispute. Omagh is unable to make a reliable estimate of the amount of the potential additional interest that may be applied by HMRC.
