MINING: Galantas Gold CORPORATION (LON:GAL, CVE:GAL)
FROM YESTERDAY: ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY RESULTS: NO RISK OF ACID DRAINAGE
Galantas Gold Corporation has received the results of the two additional environmental studies conducted on the Omagh Gold Mine.
The first of these studies proves that the country rock at the mine is not acid forming and some of the rocks are potentially acid neutralising, consistent with earlier studies.
The second study, a Northern Ireland environment Agency (NIEA) water study has confirmed that the mine is fully compliant with all its water outlet requirements.
Shares were up 9% yesterday on the back of this positive announcement.
NORTHLAND UK VIEW: The completion of these additional environmental reports is an important step forward for Galantas Gold Corp. The study on the acidity of the country rock means that allegations made by two Omagh residents regarding the rocks likely impact on the environment from acid mine drainage and the use of the A5 road, are incorrect. These results will now be submitted with other existing environmental evidence to Minister Kennedy of the Department for Regional Development, responsible for the Road Service agency and who will determine whether to approve the A5 road scheme, allowing the Company to transport waste rock off site. This is key in allowing the Company to recommence open pit operations at the mine, and is also likely to be important for the underground mine planning consent.

Another Drilling report:
GALANTAS GOLD CORPORATION
TSXV and AIM: Stock Symbol - 'GAL'
GALANTAS DRILLS 2.4 METRES HIGH GRADE GOLD ON JOSHUA VEIN
Date : 8th January 2013. 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 its Omagh Gold Property, near Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Ten cores were drilled on the Joshua vein. The results, which are tabulated below, include a high-grade intersection of 23.6 g/t (grammes per tonne) gold with 38 g/t silver, over a true width of 2.4 metres, at a vertical depth of 51.4 metres and which included a 0.8m section reported at 64 g/t gold.
The cores reported 13 significant mineralised intersects. Intersects above cut-off grade (*as assessed within the Howe Technical Report detailed below), average a true width of 1.1m, 12.6 g/t gold, 25.6 g/t silver and 1.5% lead. Vertical depths range from 50 metres to 91 metres. The average sample grade (width weighted) of all intersects (including those below cut-off) was 8.6 g/t gold at average true width of 0.8m.
The Joshua vein is, so far, known to extend over 836 metres along strike. The southern-most of the Joshua cores so far reported appear to confirm two vein structures. Good gold accumulation (width and grade) has been discovered within 80m of the southern freehold property boundary (cores 12-122 and 12-134). Three cores reported herein (12-131, 12-140 and 12-136), show a reduction of width and gold grade near to the freehold boundary, below cut-off grade.
The current geological model indicates a high gold accumulation to occur along an approximate 325 metre southern strike length. To the north lies an approximate 90 metre strike length of apparently lower gold accumulation. Further north, the vein system is similar to the south in that it is comprised of two vein structures. Two shallow drill holes situated near the northern freehold boundary appeared to indicate a vein thinning in that area. However, the latest results have shown improved grades and widths in this part of the vein system, with core 12-95 reporting 7.40g/t gold over a true width of 1m at a vertical depth of 91.4m. A second shallower intercept was reported in the same core, giving 7.0g/t gold over 0.6m true width at a depth of 73.3m. An earlier reported core (11-101A,11th June 2012), some 30m to the south, reported 7.5g/t gold over 1.5m true width at 65 m vertical depth and 5.4 g/t gold over 0.9m true width at 74.7m vertical depth. Other cores previously reported (11-88 and 11-91, 5th April 2012) extend improved grades south-wards.
A total of 2,336.9 metres has been core drilled during the fourth quarter of 2012. This brings the total number of metres drilled, since the beginning of the 15,000 metre program, to 16,346.9m and completes that phase on target. Drilling continues using the company's own CS14 core drilling rig, manned by in-house drillers. Up to a further 1600 metres of drilling are planned in the short-term, extending the program to 18,000 metres, following up the high gold intersect reported today. When the remaining results are received, the company expects to arrange an independent re-assessment of resources to Canadian National Instrument 43-101 standard. The re-assessment will be timed to enable the follow up cores to be included. The majority of the program has targeted potential measured and indicated categories of resource, since active discussions with a major lender has shown that these categories are necessary to meet the lender's requirements.
The samples were taken by geological staff under the supervision of R. Phelps C.Eng MIMMM, (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 latest excellent drilling results include the best result so far on Joshua Vein - possibly the best on the whole Galantas Northern Ireland gold license - so far. Further assays will be reported when received and are expected over the next 8-10 weeks. "

Hahaha--- I don't think July 4 is a big holiday in Ireland, or London, where most of the trading in Galantas happens.
And the release didn't seem to have much impact over there, either!
Go figure.
Junior miners are just still out of favor, I think is the bigger problem.
Not sure why, but that's just how it is. If I knew why markets do what they do, I could have retired years ago.

Updated 43-101 out today:
Galantas 43-101, July 3, 2012
Comments from CEO:
Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation commented, "The Preliminary Economic Assessment, which shows high Internal Rates of Return and low cash cost of production, in a politically stable jurisdiction, confirms our confidence in the Omagh property. We expect to continue to further invest in drilling and infra-structure, moving to a more detailed feasibility with the goal of establishing an underground operation around a target production of 50,000 ounces per year of gold in concentrate.
Discussions have already been initiated with potential lenders to gauge interest in financing opportunities based on debt, with encouraging results.
A further report is scheduled after the 15,000 metre drilling program is complete. Our permitting application for an underground mine, with accompanying Environmental Impact assessment, is now complete and expected to be filed in the week commencing 2nd July 2012."

So, a big investor, with lots of experience in mining shares, exercises warrants to buy another 20 million shares of GAL / GALKF at .10 Canadian, when the shares are trading on the open market at about .07 Cd.
The shares did trade up a bit, both in London and in Toronto, but still trading at a pretty steep discount to what Kenglo paid.
Helps the balance company sheet, because it extinguishes a big debt, at a discount.
Stock is still a buy. A good hedge against future inflation.
