Galantas Gold Drills 13.1 Grams/Tonne Gold Over a 2.5-Metre Intersection at the Omagh Project
September 18 2023 - 1:00AM
Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF)
(“Galantas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results
for the first hole from the new surface drill program at the Omagh
Project in Northern Ireland.
Hole FR-DD-23-196 targeted a gap in the earlier
resource model on the main Joshua Vein, intersecting 13.1 grams per
tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 91.6 g/t silver (Ag) over 2.5 metres (see
Table 1 and Figure 1).
The hole passes through an undrilled area of the
earlier resource model and falls within a predicted dilation zone*
(see Galantas news release dated August 10, 2023). Other
significant results attained within this dilation trend include
hole OM-DD-12-122 which intersected 21.2 g/t Au over 2.1 metres,
hole OM-DD-13-147 which intersected 12.4 g/t Au over 5.6 metres,
and hole OM-DD-12-103 which intersected 8.4 g/t Au over 26.6 metres
(see Figure 2 and Galantas news releases dated June 11, 2012,
October 29, 2012 and August 27, 2013).
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: “We
are pleased with the encouraging early results of our new drill
program from surface. As we continue drilling on the Joshua Vein,
we will test the down-dip potential of this dilation zone with the
aim of expanding the resource to ultimately add to the Omagh Mine’s
production capacity.”
*Dilation zones which have potential for higher
widths of mineralization have previously been identified within the
Kearney underground development and are believed to be linked on
shallow north-dipping planes.

Notes:
- Drill hole was NQ size and drilled
using a triple tube method to maximize core recovery. The samples
were analyzed (gold by fire assay and other metals by ICP-ORE) at
ALS Laboratory Ltd (ISO 17025) of Galway, Ireland.
- Intersect vertical depth intervals
are from ground surface to the top of the mineralized zone.
- Data has been rounded to 1 decimal
place.
- All assays are reported without
application of a top cut.
