RNS Number : 2831R Galantas Gold Corporation 05 July 2022
GALANTAS GOLD PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE
July 5, 2022, TORONTO, CANADA - Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM:
GAL; OTCQX: GALKF) ("Galantas" or the "Company") is providing an update on the
Company's progress to commence production at the Omagh Project in Northern
Ireland.
Longhole drilling has commenced in the first series of stopes, marking the
start of the production process. Installation of the secondary egress from the
1,096 to 1,052 level is in the final stage of completion and is expected to be
commissioned in approximately two weeks followed by the blasting of the
stopes. The mine has a series of five stopes which will be mined in the first
block, using the longhole open-stoping method, with cemented rockfill as the
method of backfill. The stopes will be mined between the 1,072 and 1,060
levels on the Kearney Vein.
The first series of accredited training courses through the Mineral Products
Qualification Council (MPQC) has been completed and a group of miners from the
project have received their certificates. This training meets with the
requirement by the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) to
implement a formalised training course in all mines. Training course
accreditations include shotfiring, jumbo drilling, operation of load-haul-dump
(LHD) equipment, truck driving, services installation and shotcreting.
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: "Thanks to the hard work of our
team on the ground, Galantas has now entered the next significant phase of the
Company's growth as we commence underground production. Galantas is uniquely
positioned to deliver gold production while we grow our high-grade gold
resources and unlock the full potential of a newly emerging high-grade gold
district."
