November 17, 2017: Galantas Gold Corporation (the 'Company') is pleased to announce its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to CDN$ 452,756 (2016 Q3:CDN$ 257,214) and the cash loss from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the third quarter of 2017 amounted to CDN$ 296,961 (2016 Q3: CDN$ 156,571). The Net Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to CDN $ 1,648,866 (2016:CDN$ 1,276,388) and the cash loss from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the first nine months of 2017 amounted to CDN$ 1,096,343 (2016: CDN$ 1,088,621).
Production and sales of concentrate await the mining of feed from underground.
Cost of sales, which includes production costs and inventory movement, for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to CDN$ 38,915 and $ 213,936 respectively (2016: CDN$ 45,780 and $ 255,883). Production costs were mainly in connection with ongoing care, maintenance and restoration costs at the Omagh mine site. Costs related to underground mine development were capitalized.
The Company had cash balances of $ 735,325 at September 30, 2017 compared to $ 728,962 at September 30, 2016. The working capital deficit at September 30, 2017 amounted to $ 3,266,538 compared to a working capital deficit
of $ 2,621,298 at September 30, 2016.
Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company announced a proposed private placement of shares (November 15, 2017). The proposed placement is for a maximum of 20,000,000 shares, at an issue price of CDN$ 0.07 (UKGBP 0.041) per share for maximum gross proceeds of CDN$ 1,400,000 (UKGBP 820,000). A four month hold period will apply to the shares and issuance will be subject to TSX Venture Exchange and regulatory approval. The net proceeds to be raised by the placing are intended to be used for working capital purposes and to continue development of an underground mine on the Omagh property. The placing is expected to be on a part brokered basis.
Permitting
During the third quarter Galantas reported a positive outcome to the judicial review into the planning consent for underground development at the Omagh mine with the third party's request for the quashing of the consent being denied. However, subsequent to September 30, 2017, Galantas reported that it had received notice of an application, by a third party, to the Court of Appeal, in relation to the positive judicial review judgment, given by Madam Justice McBride, regarding the grant of planning permission at the Omagh gold mine in July 2015.
Production/Mine Development
The underground mine, which is now in active development, will utilize the same processing methods as the open pit mine and will be the first underground gold mine, of any scale, in Ireland. The strategy is to expand the continuing development of the underground mine as soon as additional finance is available and look for further expansion of gold resources on the property, which has many undrilled targets.
The phased development arrangement, in terms of mine access dimensions, is expected to allow for rapid expansion of production as additional capital becomes available. The mill has now been re-commissioned in anticipation of a restarting of concentrate shipments, subject to suitable financing. A budget of GBP 2,000,000 (excluding lease finance) for the first phase of underground mining has been estimated. During the first quarter of 2017 and following the closure of a part-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 2,446,299 (approximately UKGBP 1,482,875) the Company announced that underground development had commenced on the Omagh gold property.
Underground development continued to progress during the third quarter with underground development now totaling over 119 metres (announced November 3, 2017). Galantas has a detailed plan to accelerate progress in line with the planning consent. The stringer vein intersected earlier in the third quarter (see press release dated April 24, 2017) has been accessed from the main decline tunnel. Mineralisation is approximately 0.5m wide and will be split-fired (a process where the vein is blasted separately to the surrounding country rock to minimise dilution). A narrow width loader has been acquired to operate short term on the splinter vein. After sampling, it is anticipated that a stockpile of suitable material will be made underground until there is sufficient to operate batch processing in the flotation plant whilst the tunnel development continues to progress towards accessing the principal target, which are the main Kearney veins.
The underground development is being carried out by an in-house crew which is fully trained in safety and operating procedures. An in-house, mines rescue team has also been trained and equipped. The present drilling and loading equipment, which was purchased for training and early tunnel development purposes, is performing above expectations but has lower productivity than is expected with current technology. New drilling equipment is being acquired on a rental basis with options to purchase, and is expected to improve advance rates by over 40%. Shotcreting equipment has being similarly acquired and is in operation. This is expected to cut costs and allow integration of shotcreting with the mining cycle. The rental purchase arrangements cover equipment to the value of approximately one million pounds sterling (GBP1,000,000). Included in the rental arrangements are various time-dependent options to purchase, for instance if the purchase option is exercised within one year with a rebate of 92% of rental amounts paid expected to be applied against the final purchase price. Additional personnel have been added to the workforce, which now totals 22 on the Omagh site. Safety and environmental matters remains a high priority for Galantas. The Company is pleased to continue to report zero lost time accidents since the start of underground operations and routine water monitoring continues to be compliant.
Roland Phelps, President and CEO of Galantas Gold Corporation, commented, "I continue to be very pleased with the progress being made on developing the underground mine. I note particularly that lost time accidents were zero and water monitoring results continue to be compliant."

Galantas Gold Corporation Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 (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 was in production and is reported as property, plant and equipment and an underground mine which is in the development stage and reported as exploration and evaluation assets. The production at the open pit mine was suspended in 2013.
The going concern assumption is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the following:
a. Securing sufficient financing to fund ongoing operational activity and the development of the underground mine. b. Obtaining consent for an underground mine which is currently subject to a judicial review process.
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. The Company is currently in discussions with a number of potential financiers.
As at September 30, 2017, the Company had a deficit of $38,438,029 (December 31, 2016 - $36,789,163). 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. Refer to note 11(b)(iii) for private placement completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
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"). As at July 1, 2007, the Company's Omagh mine began production and in 2013 production was suspended. On April 1, 2014, Galántas amalgamated its jewelry business with Omagh.
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 The Canadian Venture Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1.

Recent accounting pronouncements
(i) 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 an incurred loss approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the expected loss approach 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.
(ii) In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") to replace IAS 18 -Revenue and IAS 11 - Construction Contracts and the related interpretations on revenue recognition. The new revenue standard introduces a single, principles based, five-step model for the recognition of revenue when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. The five steps are identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. IFRS 15 also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help investors better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers and improves the comparability of revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.
(iii) IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16") was issued on January 13, 2016 to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 - Leases.
The IASB issued its standard as part of a joint project with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The FASB has not yet issued its new standard, but it is also expected to require lessees to recognize most leases on their statement of financial position.
The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15, has been applied, or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Omagh received a payment demand from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in the amount of $508,651 (GBP 304,290) in connection with an aggregate levy arising from the removal of waste rock from the mine site during 2008 and early 2009. The Company believes this claim is without merit. An appeal has been lodged and the Company's subsidiary Omagh intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim. The hearing started at the beginning of March 2017 but a further two days hearing is scheduled in January 2018. No provision has been made for the claim in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
