working capital $ (391,037) $ (332,420)
Cash at March 31, 2019 $ 3,767,187 $ 182,513
The Net Loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 amounted to CDN$ 779,517 (2018: CDN$ 524,498) and the cash outflow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital items for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 amounted to CDN$ 391,037 (2018: CDN$ 332,420).
The Company had a cash balance of $ 3,767,187 at March 31, 2019 compared to $ 182,513 at March 31, 2018. The working capital deficit at March 31, 2019 amounted to $ 2,702,004 compared to a working capital deficit of $ 5,123,420 at March 31, 2018. Until the mine reaches the commencement of commercial production, which is expected to be later in 2019, all development expenditures are capitalised with net proceeds from sales deducted from development costs.
Production/Mine Development
In the first quarter of 2019 the Omagh gold mine continued limited production of gold concentrate from feed produced in the development of the Kearney vein. The plant, which produces a gold & silver concentrate using a non-toxic, froth-flotation process, is running on a batch basis from a stockpile of underground vein material plus additional feed produced from on-vein development operations.
Underground development of a decline tunnel continued to be progressed during the first quarter of 2019 with further cross-cuts allowing access to lower levels of vein development which forms the development necessary to demarcate production panels. The increased number of development headings is expected to provide an enhanced supply of mill feed. During the quarter, on-vein development on the 1084 (second) level continued with 32 metres of vein drive being completed. Later in the quarter the company reported that the main decline development tunnel has reached the 1072 (third) level and a 58 metre cross-cut to intersect the Kearney vein was in progress. The vein on the 1072 (third) was reached early in the second quarter and on vein development has commenced.
At quarter end the main decline tunnel was 423 metres in length and the total of all underground drivages exceeded 1136 metres. For most of the rest of 2019, the increased quantities of processing feed will be sourced from multiple on-vein development headings. Mining between levels (stoping) is expected by or before early 2020.
Ground conditions have notably improved as the mine continues towards deeper levels, a feature ascribed to changes in rock stress conditions influenced, at higher levels, by the open pit excavation. The mine employs a robust ground control procedure using rockbolts, mesh and / or shotcrete to engineered designs.
On March 26, 2019, Galantas reported the expansion of gold milling operations at the Omagh processing plant. Milling operations progressed during the first quarter of 2019 on an extended dayshift basis, as feed became available. As expected, a second shift was subsequently added early in the second quarter. Additional milling shifts are planned to be added in the third quarter, when additional quantities of feed are confirmed. The processing plant, which was used formerly for open-pit operations, has had the benefit of a recent upgrade and further upgrades are planned. Recent analyses suggest that the product from the plant meets quality criteria and operates at a high efficiency. Shipments into a concentrate pre-payment / loan facility with Ocean Partners UK Ltd (announced 12(th) April 2018) commenced early in the second quarter. Three shipments of approximately seventy five tonnes of concentrate have been shipped, with a further 25 tonnes expected to ship shortly. The value of the shipments await assay agreement as per usual procedures.
Environmental monitoring continues to demonstrate a high level of regulatory compliance. Safety is a high priority and the zero lost time accident rate, since the start of underground operations, continues.
The Annual and Special Meeting of the Company is to be held at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on 27th June 2019 at DSA
Corporate Services Inc., 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C1P1, Canada.

Galantas Gold Corporation Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 (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 uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast 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 Flintridge Resources Limited ("Flintridge") who are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in Omagh, Northern Ireland and Omagh Minerals Limited ("Omagh") who are engaged in the exploration of gold properties, mainly in the Republic of Ireland. The Omagh mine has an open pit mine, which was in production until 2013 when production was suspended and is reported as property, plant and equipment and as an underground mine which having established technical feasibility and commercial viability in December 2018 has resulted in associated exploration and evaluation assets being reclassified as an intangible development asset and reported as property, plant and equipment.
The going concern assumption is dependent upon forecast cash flows at the Omagh mine being met together with the continued support of both Cavanacaw Corporation and Galantas Gold Corporation. The directors assumptions in relation to future levels of production, gold prices and mine operating costs are crucial to forecast cash flows being achieved. Should production be significantly delayed, revenues fall short of expectations or operating costs and capital costs increase significantly, there may be insufficient cash flows to sustain day to day operations without seeking further finance.
As at March 31, 2019, the Company had a deficit of $42,532,256 (December 31, 2018 - $41,752,739). Comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2019 was $784,499 (three months ended March 31, 2018 - comprehensive income of $70,144). These losses raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management is confident that it will 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, Northern Ireland. 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 ("TSXV") 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.
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 ("IFRIC"). 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 17, 2019 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, 2018, except as noted below. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
New accounting standards adopted
(i) On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments. The interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for current and deferred tax liabilities and assets in circumstances in which there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The interpretation is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. At January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard and there was no material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
(ii) On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16"). The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 will replace IAS 17 - Leases ("IAS 17"). This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements of IAS 17, while requiring enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors. Other areas of the lease accounting model have been impacted, including the definition of a lease. Transitional provisions have been provided. The Company adopted IFRS 16 in its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2019. As the Company has no material lease contracts that fall under IFRS 16, the adoption of this standard has not resulted in any material changes in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company transferred the cost of its Exploration and evaluation assets (note 7) to Development assets.
7. Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are expenditures for the underground mining operations in Omagh. Galantas had announced in December 2016 that it would commence the first phase of underground development and re-start concentrate shipments at its Omagh mine. Underground development of a decline tunnel, located at the base of the existing open pit, commenced in the first quarter 2017.
The granting of planning consent during the second quarter of 2015 for an underground operation at the Omagh site permits the continuation and expansion of gold mining. This planning consent was appealed by a third party in a judicial review hearing which commenced in September 2016 and was then adjourned to and completed in February 2017. Judgement was received in September 2017 whereby the third party's request for the quashing of the planning consent was denied. However, in November, Galantas reported that it had received notice of an application by the third party to the Court of Appeal in relation to the positive judicial review judgment. This appeal was completed in February 2018. In November 2018, the Company announced that the Court of Appeal has delivered its judgement in regard to an appeal against the Company's planning consent. The Court has determined that the appeal has failed and thus the planning consent is confirmed.

8. Decommissioning Liability
The Company's decommissioning liability is a result of mining activities at the Omagh mine in Northern Ireland.

(i) In June 2015, the Company obtained financing in the amount of GBP 19,900 for the purchase of a vehicle. The financing is for three years at interest of 6.79% per annum with monthly principal and interest payments of GBP 377 together with a final payment in August 2019 of GBP 9,540. The financing was secured on the vehicle.
(ii) In April 2018, the Company signed a concentrate pre-payment agreement and loan facility for US$1.6 million with a United Kingdom based company (the "Lender"), with a maturity date of December 31, 2020. The interest is set at USD 12 month LIBOR + 8.75% and payable monthly. No interest shall be charged for 6 months and repayments shall commence against deliveries in 2019. There was a US$25,000 arrangement fee.
In respect of the loan facility, a fixed and floating security, subordinated to an existing security to G&F Phelps Ltd. ("G&F Phelps"), is being put in place over Flintridge assets. G&F Phelps has a first charge on Flintridge assets in respect of its loan facility and the Lender required an intercreditor agreement between G&F Phelps and the Lender.
As consideration for the loan facility, the United Kingdom based company received 15,000,000 bonus warrants of Galantas. Each bonus warrant is exercisable into one common share of Galantas and is subject to an initial four months plus one day hold period from the date of issuance of the bonus warrants. The bonus warrants have a maximum life of two years (the "Expiry Time"). On April 19, 2018, the 15,000,000 bonus warrants were granted. In the event that the weighted average closing price per common share of the Company is more than $0.20 per share for more than five consecutive trading days, the Company shall be entitled to accelerate the Expiry Time to a date that is 30 days from the date on which the Company announces the accelerated Expiry Time by press release.
The fair value of the 15,000,000 bonus warrants was estimated at $786,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 113.55%, risk-free interest rate - 1.91% and an expected average life of 2 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded accretion expense of $54,312 in the consolidated statements of loss in regards with this loan facility (year ended December 31, 2018 - $240,621).

Contingency
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Omagh Minerals Limited received a payment demand from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in the amount of $530,012 (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. Omagh Minerals believed this claim to be without merit. An appeal was lodged with the tax Tribunals Service and the hearing started at the beginning of March 2017 and following a number of adjournments was completed in August 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Tax Tribunals Service issued their judgement dismissing the appeal by Omagh in respect of the assessments. A provision has now been included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in respect of the aggregates levy plus interest and penalty.
There is a contingent liability in respect of potential additional interest which may be applied in respect of the aggregates levy dispute. Omagh Minerals Limited is unable to make a reliable estimate of the amount of the potential additional interest that may be applied by HMRC.
