GALANTAS DRILLS 4.5 METRES HIGH GRADE GOLD ON DEEPEST JOSHUA VEIN CORE

Date : 11th June 2012. Galantas Gold Corporation (the 'Company'), the AIM and TSXV quoted gold producer and explorer with a 100% interest in Ireland's only operating gold mine, has received core drilling results from five holes on its Omagh Gold Property, near Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

The results (tabulated below) will be added to those previously reported, for the purposes of an interim resource report currently being prepared by the Company's independent consultants to revise the estimate of resources for the property.

The results are for the Joshua vein and include an intersection of 4.5 metres true width at a gold grade of 8.4 grammes per tonne. The intersection lies at a depth of approximately 160.6 metres below surface, the deepest yet drilled on Joshua Vein. The known length of Joshua Vein has increased, has so far been traced over 836 metres and remains open horizontally and vertically.

The average grade(width weighted) of the eight intersects within the five holes sampled was 6.4 g/t gold, with 12.2 g/t silver and 0.6% lead. The average true width of the eight intersects measured is 1.2 metres and depths range from 38.5 metres to 160.6 metres.

The samples were taken by geological staff under the supervision of R. Phelps C.Eng MIOM3, (President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation), the Qualified Person for the program under NI 43-101 and who is also a "Qualified Person" as defined in the Note for Mining Oil & Gas Companies, June 2009, of the London Stock Exchange. Sampling methodology, security & verification followed standard procedures previously detailed on April 5th 2006 and the samples were analysed (gold by fire assay and other metals by ICP-ORE) at OMAC Laboratory Ltd (an independent, ISO 17025 laboratory) of Galway, Ireland. The core drilling methodology was that as described on 15th September 2011.

Mr. Phelps commented, "The drilling results received continue to increase our confidence in the Omagh property. The drilling program has intensified since the start of 2012, with six rigs at work. The first phase of the program, which was targeted at producing an early indicated resource on Joshua vein with deeper drilling on Kearney, is approaching completion. The next phase intensifies work on both those veins and also examines a new and as yet untested geochemical anomaly within the mine site."
