Galantas Gold Plans to Drill Key Target Area North of the Omagh Mine Site
May 28 2024 - 2:00AM
Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF)
(“Galantas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce plans to drill
test the Kearney North target at the Omagh Project in County
Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented:
“We’re keen to return to surface drilling this year to test for a
northern extension of the main Kearney Vein, and to explore for
further dilation zones. We previously drilled 32 grams per tonne
gold over 4.4 metres, and 32 grams per tonne gold over 7 metres1
within dilation zones on the Kearney Vein. In this program, we are
aiming to uncover the exciting potential to extend the resource
northwards and build on our existing high-grade gold
resources.”
At the Cavanacaw deposit area where sulphide
rich, gold-bearing veins are well developed, geological modelling
suggests that a concealed ore shoot may lie to the north of the
site at greater depth. The target area, approximately 180 metres
north of the current extent of the main Kearney Vein, coincides
with a historical Pionjar (base of till) anomaly of 31.5 grams per
tonne gold (see Figure 1).
The Kearney Vein system has a strike length of
approximately 850 metres, proved by drilling. It remains open at
depth down plunge. The vein is well developed in the ‘Cavanacaw
Member’, a competent host lithology. This host unit dips to the
north and is expected to lie beneath a pelitic horizon in the
current target area.
The program comprises three drill holes
(approximately 1,000 metres) which will test the Kearney Vein
extension at depths over 200 metres. The work will be completed
under Permitted Development following a positive meeting of the
Local Council Planning Committee on May 22, 2024.

1 At the Kearney Vein, examples of drill holes
that fall within dilation zones are drill hole FR-DD-22-UG-181 at a
vertical depth of 150 metres that intersected 7 metres (estimated
3.3 metres true thickness) of 31.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, and
drill hole FR-DD-22-UG-186 at a vertical depth of 143 metres that
intersected 4.4 metres (estimated 3.0 metres true thickness) of
31.8 g/t gold (see Galantas’ news releases dated March 21, 2022 and
August 4, 2022).
