Galantas Gold Corporation
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. Incorporation and Nature of Operations
Galantas Gold Corporation (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 Minerals Limited ("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 Corporation ("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 Resources Limited
("Flintridge"). Following a strategic review of its business by the Company
during 2014 certain assets owned by Omagh were acquired by Flintridge.
On November 16, 2023, Gairloch Resources Limited ("Gairloch") was
incorporated.
The Company's operations include the consolidated results of Gairloch,
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's common shares started 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.
2. Going Concern
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that 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
subsidiaries Gairloch which incorporated on November 16, 2023 and Cavanacaw.
Cavanacaw has a 100% shareholding in Galántas, Flintridge who are engaged in
the acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in
Omagh, Northern Ireland and Omagh who is engaged in the exploration of gold
properties, mainly in the Republic of Ireland. The Omagh mine is 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 on forecast cash flows being met,
further financing negotiations being completed successfully. Management'
assumptions in relation to future financing, levels of production, gold prices
and mine operating 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 financing.
Based on the financial projections which have been prepared for a five-year
period and using assumptions which management believes to be prudent,
alongside ongoing negotiations with both current and prospective investors and
creditors, management believes it is appropriate to prepare the unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements on the going concern
basis.
Should the Company be unsuccessful in securing the above, there would be
significant uncertainty over the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that would result if forecast cash flows were not
achieved, if the existing creditors withdrew their support or if further
financing could not be raised from current or potential investors.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company raised gross proceeds of
$1.1M through loans from related parties.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had a deficit of $82,456,145 (December 31,
2024 - $80,520,994). Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025
was $1,323,078 (six months ended June 30, 2024 - $1,973,150). 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
believes that it will continue as a going concern. However, this is subject to
a number of uncertainties detailed above. 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.
3. Basis of Preparation
Statement of compliance
The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 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 August 28,
2025 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, 2024. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the
Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2025 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements.

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 June 30, 2025 based on a risk-free discount rate of 1% (December
31, 2024 - 1%) and an inflation rate of 1.50% (December 31, 2024 - 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 June 30, 2025, the estimated
fair value of the liability is $696,788 (December 31, 2024 - $666,128).
Changes in the provision during the six months ended June 30, 2025 are as

10. Convertible Debentures
(i) On December 20, 2023, the Company closed a $3,502,054 (US$ 2,627,000)
convertible debenture. The convertible debenture is unsecured, is for a term
of three year commencing on the date that it is issued, carries a coupon of
10% per annum and is convertible into common shares of the Company. Each
debenture consists of US$1,000 principal amount of unsecured convertible
debentures. The convertible debentures have a term of 36 months from the date
of issuance with a conversion price of US$0.255 being the equivalent of a
conversion price of $0.35 per conversion share. A four month hold period will
apply to common shares converted through the convertible debenture. The hold
period expired on April 21, 2024.
In accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures, if, at any time
following the issuance of the convertible debentures, the closing price of the
common shares of the Company on the TSXV equals or exceeds $0.70 per common
share for 10 consecutive trading days or more, the Company may elect to
convert all but not less than all of the outstanding principal amount of the
convertible debentures into conversion shares at the conversion price, upon
giving the holders of the convertible debentures not less than 30 calendar
days advance written notice. On December 20, 2026, any outstanding principal
amount of convertible debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon
shall be repaid by the Company in cash.
Interest on the principal amount outstanding under each convertible debenture
shall accrue during the period commencing on December 20, 2023 until December
20, 2026 and shall be payable in cash on an annual basis on December 31st of
each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"); provided, however, that the
first interest payment date shall be December 31, 2024. Each convertible
debenture shall bear interest at a minimum interest rate of 10% per annum (the
"Base Interest Rate"). During each interest period (an "Interest Period"),
being the period commencing on December 20, 2023 to but excluding the first
Interest Payment Date and thereafter the period from and including an Interest
Payment Date to but excluding the next Interest Payment Date or other
applicable payment date, the Base Interest Rate will be adjusted based on a
gold price of US$2,000 per ounce, with the Base Interest Rate being increased
by 1% per annum for each US$100 in which the average gold price for such
Interest Period exceeds US$2,000 per ounce, up to a maximum interest rate of
30% per annum; provided, however, that, without the prior acceptance of the
TSXV, the average interest rate shall not exceed 24% per annum during the term
of the convertible debentures. Any adjustment to the Base Interest Rate in
respect of an Interest Period shall be calculated based on the average gold
price quoted by the London Bullion Market Association, being the LBMA Gold
Price PM, in respect of the Interest Period ending on December 31, 2024, from
December 20, 2023 to and including December 15, 2024, and for each subsequent
Interest Period, from January 1st to and including December 15th of that year
or 15 days prior to the applicable payment date.
Melquart Limited ("Melquart"), an insider and control person of the Company
(as defined by the TSXV), subscribed for US$875,000. Ocean Partners, which has
a common director with the Company, acquired US$875,000 aggregate principal
amount of convertible debentures.
The Company paid a cash finder's fee of US$40,500 (CAD$53,990) and issued
158,823 non-transferable finder's warrants to Canaccord Genuity Corp. in
consideration for providing certain finder services to the Company under the
offering. Each finder warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share in
the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35 per common share at
any time on or before December 20, 2026. The fair value of the 158,823 finder
warrants was estimated at $24,670 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected
volatility - 107.02%, risk-free interest rate - 3.71% and an expected average
life of 3 years.
The debentures consist of the liability component and conversion feature. Due
to the convertible debenture being denominated in US$, the conversion feature
has been presented as a non-cash derivative liability.
On the date of issuance, the fair value of the derivative liability was
estimated to be $748,337 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility -
95.0%, risk-free interest rate - 3.94% and an expected average life of 3
years.
On issuance the fair value of the liability component was recorded at
$2,918,833, discounted at an effective interest rate of 37%.
The Company incurred transaction costs of $153,481 which was allocated
pro-rata on the value of the conversion feature and the liability component.
As at December 31, 2024, the fair value of the derivative liability was
revalued at $60,086 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the

expense of $389,379 and interest expense of $454,248 as loan interest and bank
charges less deposit interest in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated
statement of loss. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $151,301 of the
interest expense was related to the convertible debenture subscribed by
Melquart. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $151,301 of the interest
expense was related to the convertible debenture subscribed by Ocean Partners.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, $82,404 (US$60,000) of convertible
debenture was converted into 235,294 common shares of the Company.

at $214,039 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 130%,
risk-free interest rate - 2.60% and an expected average life of 1.47 years.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded
accretion expense of $129,254 and $263,280, respectively and interest expense
of $115,472 and $235,207, respectively as loan interest and bank charges less

settlement transaction, pursuant to which the Company settled US$2,711,000 of
indebtedness owing to Ocean Partners through the issuance of US$2,711,000
aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures of the Company.
The convertible debenture issued in connection with the debt settlement were
issued on substantially the same terms as the unsecured convertible debentures
closed on December 20, 2023.
The debentures consist of the liability component and conversion feature. Due
to the convertible debenture being denominated in US$, the conversion feature

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 $568,992 (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 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.
17. Event After the Reporting Period
On June 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Binding Term Sheet with Ocean
Partners to joint venture the Omagh Project. Ocean Partners will exchange
approximately US$14 million (GBP 10.3 million) in existing loans for an 80%
interest in Flintridge and 80% interest in Omagh, subsidiaries of Galantas
which together own the Omagh Project (the "Proposed Transaction"). The
remaining 20% interest in Flintridge and 20% interest in Omagh will be
retained by Galantas. Following the Proposed Transaction, Ocean Partners will
have the option to convert the approximately US$1 million (GBP 738,784) of
remaining debt into a 0.001% interest in Flintridge at any time after mining
has restarted on the Omagh Project.
Ocean Partners will invest an initial US$3 million (GBP 2.2 million) in the
Omagh Project for exploration, a restart plan and general and administrative
costs for a period of up to one year (the "Initial Term"). After the Initial
Term, Ocean Partners will have the option to invest an additional US$5 million
(GBP 3.7 million) for exploration and commissioning a development program for
a period of up to one year (the "Second Term"). Galantas will be free carried
on the initial US$3 million (GBP 2.2 million) investment and will have the
option to invest its pro-rata share on future investments, including the
Second Term.
Upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, Ocean Partners and Galantas will
sign a shareholders agreement (the "Joint Venture") focused on exploration and
restart plans with Ocean Partners as project operator. The board of directors
of Flintridge shall be comprised of four representatives of Ocean Partners and
one representative of the Company for so long as the Company owns at least a
10% interest in Flintridge. There will be no change to the board of directors
of the Company following the Proposed Transaction. Flintridge will have a
fixed valuation of US$15 million (GBP 11.1 million) for future cash calls.
During the Initial Term, Galantas shall have the option (the "Galantas
Option") to convert its 20% ownership interest in Flintridge into a 3.00% net
smelter return royalty (the "3% NSR"). 50% of the 3% NSR shall be subject to a
buy-back provision for US$8 million (GBP £5.9 million) by Flintridge. In the
event that: (i) Galantas does not exercise the Galantas Option during the
Initial Term; and (ii) Galantas is diluted to below 10% ownership in
Flintridge, the entirety of Galantas' ownership shall automatically convert to
a 1.5% net smelter return royalty (the "1.5% NSR"). The remaining 50% of the
1.5% NSR shall be subject to a buy-back provision for US$4 million (GBP 3.0
million) by Flintridge.
Galantas has entered into an exclusivity period with Ocean Partners regarding
the Proposed Transaction, including without limitation, the settling of the
form of Definitive Agreements, until the earlier of (i) the date of the
execution of a mutually acceptable Definitive Agreements, (ii) the date upon
which Ocean Partners and Galantas mutually agree in writing to terminate
discussions, or (iii) June 30, 2025, unless extended by mutual agreement by
Ocean Partners and Galantas.
The Proposed Transaction remains subject to conditions precedent, including
Ocean Partners board approval and completion of due diligence by Ocean
Partners, the completion of definitive documentation and the receipt of all
required approvals and consents, including shareholder approval by Galantas
shareholders as well as formal filings with and approval from the TSXV.

approval by the Company's shareholders, it intends to convert US$875,000 (GBP
646,171) of its debt held as a convertible note plus accrued interest of
US$182,803 (GBP 134,997) into 17,630,050 common shares of no par value
("Common Shares") in Galantas at a deemed price of US$0.06 (GBP 0.044) per
share (the "Melquart Debt Transaction").
Following the Melquart Debt Transaction, Melquart will hold 47,372,977 Common
