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. "

 

Annual General Meeting

The Annual and Special Meeting of the Company has been called for 11am on Thursday 25th June 2015. It will be held at DSA Corporate Services, Suite 1000, 36 Toronto Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Galantas Gold Corporation

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited)

1. Going Concern

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that Galantas Gold Corporation (the "Company") will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's future viability depends on the consolidated results of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Cavanacaw Corporation ("Cavanacaw"). Cavanacaw has a 100% shareholding in both Omagh Minerals Limited ("Omagh") and Flintridge Resources Limited ("Flintridge") who are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The Omagh mine has an open pit mine, which is in production and reported as property, plant and equipment and an underground mine which is in the exploration stage and reported as exploration and evaluation assets. The production at the open pit mine was suspended later in 2013 due to falling grades and gold prices.

The going concern assumption is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the following:

a.

Planning permission for the development of an underground mine in Omagh; and

b.

Securing sufficient financing to fund ongoing operational activity and the development of the underground mine.

Should the Company be unsuccessful in securing the above, there would be significant uncertainty over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As at March 31, 2015, the Company had a deficit of $33,796,887 (December 31, 2014 - $33,382,788). Management is confident that it will be able to secure the required financing to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. However, this is subject to a number of factors including market conditions.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and financial position classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

2. Incorporation and Nature of Operations

The Company was formed on September 20, 1996 under the name Montemor Resources Inc. on the amalgamation of 1169479 Ontario Inc. and Consolidated Deer Creek Resources Limited. The name was changed to European Gold Resources Inc. by articles of amendment dated July 25, 1997. On May 5, 2004, the Company changed its name from European Gold Resources Inc. to Galantas Gold Corporation. The Company was incorporated to explore for and develop mineral resource properties, principally in Europe. In 1997, it purchased all of the shares of Omagh which owns a mineral property in Northern Ireland, including a delineated gold deposit. Omagh obtained full planning and environmental consents necessary to bring its property into production.

The Company entered into an agreement on April 17, 2000, approved by shareholders on June 26, 2000, whereby Cavanacaw, a private Ontario corporation, acquired Omagh. Cavanacaw has established an open pit mine to extract the Company's gold deposit near Omagh. Cavanacaw also has developed a premium jewellery business founded on the gold produced under the name Galántas Irish Gold Limited ("Galántas"). On April 1, 2014, Galántas amalgamated it's jewelry business with Omagh.

As at July 1, 2007, the Company's Omagh mine began production.

On April 8, 2014, Cavanacaw acquired Flintridge. Following a strategic review of its business by the Company during 2014 certain assets owned by Omagh were acquired by Flintridge.

The Company's operations include the consolidated results of Cavanacaw, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Omagh, Galántas and Flintridge.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and London Stock Exchange AIM under the symbol GAL. The primary office is located at 36 Toronto Street, Suite 1000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 2C5.

3. Basis of Preparation

Statement of compliance

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRSs issued and outstanding as of May 27, 2015 the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2015 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncement

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39"). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The final amendments made in the new version include guidance for the classification and measurement of financial assets and a third measurement category for financial assets, fair value through other comprehensive income. The standard also contains a new expected loss impairment model for debt instruments measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, lease receivables, contract assets and certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. IFRS 9 will be effective for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement.

8. Decommissioning Liability

The Company's decommissioning liability is a result of mining activities at the Omagh mine in Northern Ireland. The Company estimated its decommissioning liability at March 31, 2015 based on a risk-free discount rate of 1% (December 31, 2014 - 1%) and an inflation rate of 1.50% (December 31, 2014 - 1.50%) . The expected undiscounted future obligations allowing for inflation are GBP 330,000 and based on management's best estimate the decommissioning is expected to occur over the next 5 to 10 years. On March 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of the liability is $579,889 (December 31, 2014 - $553,544). Changes in the provision during the three months ended March 31, 2015 are as follows:

10. Share Capital and Reserves

On April 14, 2014, the Company completed the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidated common shares for five pre-consolidated common shares. As part of the share consolidation all applicable references to the number of shares, warrants and stock options and their exercise price and per share information has been restated.

a) Authorized share capital

At March 31, 2015, the authorized share capital consisted of an unlimited number of common and preference shares issuable in Series.

The common shares do not have a par value. All issued shares are fully paid.

No preference shares have been issued. The preference shares do not have a par value.

 

b) Common shares issued

At March 31, 2015, the issued share capital amounted to $32,351,440. The change in issued share capital for the periods presented is as follows:

(i) On February 16, 2015, the Company closed a private placement of 10,599,999 common shares at GBP 0.03 ($0.05727) per common share for gross proceeds of GBP 316,667 ($607,062). The common share issued are subject to a four month hold period. Commissions of $36,424 were paid in connection with the placement. The agent also received 636,000 broker warrants. Each broker warrant can be exercised for one common share at an exercise price of GBP 0.045 for a period of 3 years. A four month hold period applies from date of issue of the broker warrant, expiring June 17, 2015.

The fair value of the 636,000 broker warrants was estimated at $32,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 168.98%, risk-free interest rate -0.43% and an expected average life of 3 years. As a result of the exercise price of the broker warrants being denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, the broker warrants are considered a derivative financial liability.

As a result of the exercise price of the warrants being denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, the warrants are considered a derivative financial liability. The warrants are revalued at each period end with any gain or loss in the fair value being record in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss as an unrealized gain or loss on fair value of derivative financial liability.

On March 31, 2015, the fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 157.47% to 165.40%; risk free interest rate of 0.50%; and an expected life of 1.10 years to 2.88 years. As a result, the fair value of the warrants was calculated to be $392,000 and the Company recorded an unrealized gain on fair value of derivative financial liability for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $8,000.

11. Net Loss per Common Share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $414,099 (three months ended March 31, 2014 - $502,100) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 81,747,570 (three months ended March 31, 2014 - 51,242,015) for basic and diluted loss per share. Diluted loss did not include the effect of warrants and options for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, as they are anti-dilutive.
