Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, commented, "Our detailed geological, mining and economic studies demonstrate the excellent potential of an underground mine at Omagh. With planning permits approaching the final stage of determination, we are looking forward to building a sound business that will provide local jobs within a safe environment. We haven't yet found the limits of most of the veins we have discovered. Taking operations underground allows production from a substantial gold resource that we expect will continue to reveal itself, by underground drilling, as much larger than we have already demonstrated. We are expecting to build the underground operations to an initial target of around 32,000 ounces per year, based on what we already know, increasing as additional resources are identified. Our ownership of an existing processing plant, tailings facility and land package is a considerable advantage in terms of minimising the capital required and we expect to make full use of these assets."
