GALANTAS CLOSES PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Date : December 1, 2017. Galantas Gold Corporation (the "Company"), the AIM and TSXV quoted gold producer and explorer with a 100% interest in Northern Ireland's Omagh gold mine, announces the closing of the private placement to a gross amount of CDN$ 1,165,857 (UK£682,859), in line with the terms and proposed placing price previously outlined in the disclosure dated 15 November 2017 (the "Placing").
The Placing was closed on November 30, 2017, pending delivery of final documentation, for 16,655,099 common shares of no par value ("Common Shares").

A four month hold period will apply. The hold period will expire on March 31st, 2018. The shares issued pursuant to the Placing will rank pari passu with the existing Common Shares in issue of the Company.
Melquart Ltd, ("Melquart") a UK based investment institution, subscribed for 6,097,561 Common Shares, which, in addition to the shares it already holds, gives rise to a holding of 15.1% of the Company's issued Common Shares.
Mr. Ross Beaty has subscribed for 2,914,959 Common Shares, which, in addition to the shares he already holds, gives rise to an 18.7% holding.
Mr. Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, has subscribed for 1,219,512 Common Shares, which, in addition to the shares he already holds, gives rise to an 18.4% holding.
Mr. Beaty, Mr. Phelps and Melquart are deemed to be related parties of Galantas by virtue of being Substantial Shareholders of the Company (as defined in the AIM Rules for Companies). As a consequence, the Directors of the Company consider, having consulted with their nominated adviser, Grant Thornton UK LLP, that the terms of the Placing to these parties are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.
The Company has applied for admission of the Common Shares in connection with the first closing of the Placing to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission") with Admission expected to occur on or around December 5, 2017.
Following Admission and the closing, Galantas Gold Corporation's Issued and Outstanding Common Shares will total 187,549,186.
The Placing was conducted on a part-brokered basis. Fees and commissions were a total of CDN$44,287 (£25,939).
The net proceeds raised by the Placing are intended to be used for working capital purposes and to continue underground development at the Omagh gold mine.
Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, said, "I am delighted to welcome the continued support from our shareholders. The funding allows us to continue the acceleration of underground development of the Omagh gold-mine.
The Omagh team is continuing to make good progress with underground development, which now totals about 132 metres. Shotcrete equipment delivered as part of a rental purchase deal recently announced has been delivered and successfully integrated into the operation.
