GALANTAS GOLD DRILLS 31 METRES AT 4.42 GRAMS/TONNE GOLD, 0.71% COPPER, 0.52% ZINC AND 69 GRAMS/TONNE COBALT AT GAIRLOCH PROJECT IN SCOTLAND

Galantas Gold Corp. has released the results of the third and fourth exploration drill holes and prospecting samples at the Gairloch project in Scotland.

Drilling highlights:

Hole 23-GL-04 intersected 4.42 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 0.71 per cent copper (Cu), 0.52 per cent zinc (Zn), 69 grams per tonne (g/t) cobalt (Co) and 3.74 g/t silver (Ag) over 31 metres, including 15.46 g/t Au, 0.80 per cent Cu, 1.91 per cent Zn, 133 g/t Co and 6.35 g/t Ag over 6.95 metres.

Hole 23-GL-03 intersected 1.34 g/t Au, 0.86 per cent Cu, 0.16 per cent Zn, 82 g/t Co and 3.20 g/t Ag over 18 metres.

Five holes have now been completed over the main deposit area totalling 580 metres. The company is now focused on generating additional drill targets along strike of the deposit.

Prospecting identified 0.91 g/t Au in bedrock 1.4 kilometres from recent drilling, as well as 34.3 per cent iron (Fe) and 0.19 g/t Au in bedrock within a 10-metre-wide banded iron formation.

Mario Stifano, chief executive officer of Galantas, commented: "We're excited by the high-grade and thick zones from drill results to date at the Gairloch project, indicating a potential large-scale mineralizing system. We are keen to establish new target areas for further drill testing and resource drilling, to unlock the full potential of the 217-square-kilometre land package covering the Gairloch Schist belt."

Drill program

Drill hole 23-GL-03 was drilled 57 metres southeast of hole 23-GL-02, intersecting the mineralized unit at 35 metres down to 53 metres. Hole 23-GL-04 was drilled 49 metres southwest of hole 23-GL-03, toward the mineralized unit in the opposite direction, hitting the zone from 10 metres to 41 metres. This hole was a 15-metre step-out from the known historic deposit area.

The deep hole, 23-GL-05, has been drilled to a depth of 390 metres and is being logged and split. The company will now focus on identifying the deposit's extension.

The current drilling was localized within 100 metres of where the mineralized unit is exposed at surface. Historical drilling identified a 900-metre-long mineralized trend which the company will aim to explore and expand in the coming year. Historical hole GBH82 intersected the mineralized unit at around 250 metres below surface over 620 metres southeast from the company's hole 23-GL-05. Hole GBH82 intersected five metres at 1.07 g/t Au and 1.75 per cent Cu.

Working 120 metres back toward Galantas's recent drilling, historical hole GBH81 intersected six metres at 0.85 g/t Au and 1.19 per cent Cu at around 200 metres below surface. At around 150 metres below surface, historical drill hole GBH68 intersected six metres at 1.5 g/t Au and 5.92 per cent Cu. At 100 metres below surface, historical drill hole GBH67 intersected six metres at 2.27 g/t Au and 2.28 per cent Cu.

In the opposite direction going 280 metres northwest along strike from the recent drilling area, historical hole GBH48 intersected 10 metres at 0.12 g/t Au and 0.5 per cent Cu. These new and historical grades over such a wide area demonstrate the potential of the Kerry Road deposit with future drilling planned to explore along strike and at depth.

Prospecting at Gairloch project

The prospecting results have identified a gold-bearing unit 1.4 kilometres southeast from the recent drill hole 23-GL-05. The 1.5-kilogram grab sample was taken from a two-metre-wide sulphide zone outcropping on the road side and returned 0.91 g/t Au. Further work here is warranted to understand the presence of gold within this unit and explore along trend.

A separate 1.5-kilogram grab sample from the outcropping banded iron formation which is about 10 metres wide and lies 300 metres away from the recent drilling, returned 34.3 per cent Fe and 0.19 g/t Au. These banded iron formations are known to exist throughout the Gairloch Schist belt and measure between 0.5 metre to 15 metres wide, extending multiple kilometres. Further exploratory work will be conducted over the banded iron formations in the area in the upcoming exploration program.

Prospecting will also continue along trend towards the Gorm Lochs prospect which lies 10 kilometres south of the Kerry Road deposit. Historical samples collected at the Gorm Lochs include up to four g/t Au in outcrop (see Galantas's news release dated Jan. 26, 2023).

Gairloch Project overview

The Kerry Road deposit is a stratabound, besshi-style, VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) gold-copper-zinc deposit exposed at surface. It is one of the oldest known Besshi deposits, similar in age to the Sherridon district in Manitoba, Canada. The Kerry Road deposit was discovered by Consolidated Goldfields in the 1970s where 87 holes were drilled over 9,189 metres. No commercial exploration has taken place since then until 2018 when drilling by GreenOre Gold PLC (GreenOre) confirmed the presence of mineralization at Kerry Road by intersecting one g/t gold, 0.9 per cent copper and 0.6 per cent zinc over 17 metres (see Galantas's news release dated Jan. 26, 2023). Rock chip sampling conducted by GreenOre in 2018 also identified elevated levels of cobalt in bedrock.

The Kerry Road deposit lies within the Gairloch Schist belt, a Paleoproterozic volcanic arc terrane extending over 25 kilometres (km). The unit of interest is a quartz carbonate schist with the main minerals being chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Limited exploration has been conducted over the area in recent years. The British Geological Survey (BGS) identified an outcrop of four g/t Au in its MRP146 report of the area, associated with a significant geophysical anomaly approximately 10 km south of the Kerry Road deposit, yet the area remains untested. This area is one of multiple targets identified by Galantas for follow-up exploration.

Galantas has acquired a 100-per-cent interest and the exclusive rights to explore and develop the Gairloch project, a 217-square-kilometre mineral licence area covering the Gairloch Schist belt.

The QP has reviewed the QA/QC results in relation to these drill results and is satisfied that the results as reported are reliable.

Drill hole 23-GL-03 was positioned 50 metres step back from hole 23-GL-02 and drilled at minus 45 degrees dip in NQ core size. Drill hole 23-GL-04 was positioned 50 metres southwest and perpendicular to hole 23-GL-03 at minus 55 degrees dip. Core samples were split in half in mainly metre-long samples, inserting regular blanks, standards and duplicates for QA/QC purposes. Analysis was conducted by ALS Laboratories in Loughrea, Ireland. Samples were prepared using PREP-31B crush to 70 per cent less than two millimetres (mm), rifle split off one kilogram and pulverize split to better than 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Multielement analysis was conducted using ME-ICP61a four-acid digestion with ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) finish. Gold was analyzed using Au-AA25 ore-grade fire assay.
