The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Roland Phelps, has agreed to lend up to a total amount of $943,400 (500,000 GBP) to the Company for a period of 6 months from November 4th 2008. The loan facility is secured by the Company�s inventory with cross guarantees provided by the Company�s subsidiaries. The loan bears interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum over the base rate of Barclays Bank plc, such interest to be calculated monthly and compounded until repaid. With the exception of the related party, who stood aside from the decision, the Directors of the Company have consulted with the Nominated Adviser and consider the terms of the loan to be fair and reasonable in so far as shareholders are concerned. The loan is for working capital purposes and capital expenditure aimed at increases in operational efficiency.
Galantas�s operational open pit mine is situated near Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The mine produces a flotation concentrate containing gold, silver and lead, which is exported and sold to a Canadian smelter. Some gold from the mine is down-streamed into certified Irish gold jewellery which is sold on-line at www.galantas.com and via leading UK & Irish retailers.
Commenting on the results, Roland Phelps, (President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation) said, �The results are a milestone for the Company brought about by the Omagh operational team, led by Nicholas Hardie, General Manager. My thanks go to the whole team for the turn-around which is the result of well executed, hard work under difficult circumstances.�
