Overview – Strategy - Description of Business
Galantas Gold Corporation has been a producing mineral resource issuer and the first to acquire planning
consent to mine gold in Northern Ireland. Cavanacaw Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Galantas,
owns all of the shares of the Northern Ireland companies – Flintridge Resources Limited, Omagh Minerals
Limited and Galantas Irish Gold Limited. During 2014 Cavanacaw acquired Flintridge Resources Limited,
a dormant company, and following a strategic review of its business, certain assets owned by Omagh
Minerals were acquired by Flintridge.
Mining at the Omagh mine had been conducted by open pit methods up to the suspension of production
in 2013. The mine produced a flotation concentrate and was shipped to a smelter under an off-take
agreement. The Company’s strategy to increase shareholder value has been to:
• With the additional funding, continue the expanded exploration programme and the further
development of its underground mine;
• Recommence production at the mine and processing plant;
• Continue to explore and develop extensions to the Kearney, Joshua and nearby known veins so as
to expand resources and increase gold production in stages;
• Explore the Company’s prospecting licences, focusing on the more than 60 gold targets identified
to date; these targets are the subject of further evaluation to rank and prioritise the more prospective
targets.
Underground development of a decline tunnel, located at the base of the existing open pit, commenced in
2017. The underground gold mine at Omagh commenced limited production of gold concentrate, from feed
produced in development of the Kearney vein in 2018. The processing plant uses a non-toxic flotation
process to produce concentrates, without the use of cyanide or mercury. It satisfies strict environmental
monitoring criteria set by the Northern Ireland regulatory authorities. The decline tunnel is planned to be

extended in depth to provide access to lower levels of in vein development which will form the development
necessary to block off production stopes.
Mineral Resources
During 2008, ACA Howe International Ltd prepared an updated estimate of mineral resources for the
Omagh mine. The report, entitled Technical Report on the Omagh Gold Pr
