TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 29, 2015) - Galantas Gold Corporation (the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE:GAL)(GAL.L) announces its financial results for the Quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 consisted of jewelry sales and amounted to CDN$ 1,123 (2014: CDN$ Nil). Following the suspension of production during 2013 there have not been any shipments of concentrates from the mine.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 amounted to CDN$ 69,997 (2014: CDN$ 77,234) and include production costs and inventory movements. Production costs were mainly in connection with the ongoing care and maintenance costs at the Omagh mine.

The Net Loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, amounted to CDN$ 414,099 (2014: Net Loss CDN$ 502,100).

The Company's cash balances March 31, 2015 amounted to CDN$ 380,764 which compared with CDN$ 59,616 at March 31, 2014. The Company working capital deficit at March 31, 2015 amounted to CDN$ 3,677,040 which compared with a deficit of CDN$ 4,468,576 at March 31, 2014. During the first quarter the Company completed a Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately UK£ 316,677 through the issuing of 10,599,999 new shares at a price of UK£ 0.03/CDN$0.05727 per common share. The proceeds are to be used for working capital purposes and to finance the Company's continued commitments in regard to its underground planning application.

Production

Production at the Omagh mine remains suspended awaiting planning consent to continue operations underground. Due to continued delays in the planning process, management has made significant redundancies in the workforce, alongside other cost reduction measures.

During the first half of 2014 the Company carried out pilot tests with regards to the processing of tailing cells filled during the earlier operation of the mine. The results of these tests indicated that it is possible to successfully process the tailing cells. However a subsequent investigation of process economics suggested that the operation may best be carried out in conjunction with processing ore from the underground mine.

Exploration

The granting of a further two prospecting licences in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) during 2014 brought the total number of licences held in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to eleven covering a total area to 766.5 square kilometres. Exploration work during 2014 which included detailed mapping and sampling, focused on four broad exploration targets which were identified based on the potential for mineralisation with consideration given to land accessibility and suitable exposure. Three of the target areas were within the original ROI licence block (Lough Derg) with the fourth being in the OM4 licence within Northern Ireland. During the first quarter of 2015 fieldwork commenced within three more recently acquired ROI licences. In addition results received from fieldwork on the OM4 licence were evaluated and formed the basis of the DETI licence report submitted later in the quarter.

Permitting

During 2012 the planning application for an underground mine together with the Environmental Impact Study in connection with the proposed underground development were submitted to the Planning Services. The Company has been advised that officials at the Northern Ireland Department of Environment (Planning) have now completed consultations, finalised its report and submitted it to the Minister of Environment for determination. The Company understands that the report contains a recommendation to approve the Company's application, though the Minister is not bound by the recommendation. The Company understands a decision is imminent. However it should be noted that the timeline for delivery of the determination is not within the control of the Company.

Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, commented, "The robust results of the recent economic study, with the upcoming planning determination, which we expect to be positive, lead us to be confident about the establishment of a sound business based on the Omagh gold property. "
