RNS Number : 8162W Galantas Gold Corporation 19 April 2023
GALANTAS GOLD'S NORTHERN IRELAND AND SCOTLAND PROJECTS LOCATED IN AREAS
IDENTIFIED BY BRITISH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AS PROSPECTIVE FOR CRITICAL RAW
MATERIALS
April 19, 2023, TORONTO, CANADA - Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM:
GAL; OTCQX: GALKF) ("Galantas" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a
new report produced by the British Geological Survey (BGS) for the UK's
Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre (CMIC) has revealed that the UK has the
potential to become a major player in the global critical raw materials
market. The report, titled "Potential for Critical Raw Material Prospectivity
in the UK", identifies areas with critical raw material prospectivity.
The report is particularly significant for Galantas, which operates projects
in the UK - the Omagh/Cavanacaw mining and exploration project in Northern
Ireland, and the Gairloch exploration project in Scotland. The report
identifies areas in mid-County Tyrone, Northern Ireland and the area around
Loch Maree near Gairloch, Scotland - where the Company's projects are located
- as having geological prospectivity for graphite, antimony, bismuth,
molybdenum, tellurium, cobalt, manganese, gallium, germanium and indium.
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: "Critical raw materials are
essential to the development of many modern technologies, and the UK has a
wealth of untapped mineral resources that could help meet growing global
demand. We are delighted to see the BGS report highlighting the exploration
potential of our Omagh/Cavanacaw and Gairloch projects, and we believe that
these projects can play a key role in unlocking the UK's supply of critical
raw materials, while also providing a boost to the local economy through job
creation and investment.
"We commend this national-scale assessment in support of the UK Critical
Minerals Strategy, which aims to improve the supply chain security of critical
minerals by accelerating the UK's domestic capabilities."
The full report is available on the CMIC website at ukcmic.org.
