Galantas Announces Permit to Export Rock from Omagh Gold Mine
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/23/12 -- Galantas Gold Corporation (the 'Company') (TSX: GAL)(AIM: GAL), the AIM and TSXV quoted producer/developer/explorer with a 100% interest in Ireland's only operating gold mine, is pleased to report that its wholly owned subsidiary, Omagh Minerals Limited (OML), has received confirmation of planning permits to export rock by road from the gold mine. Surplus rock, not required for restoration, is currently stored at the Omagh site in stockpiles which are at maximum capacity. The permits allow the surplus rock to be integrated into the local aggregates industry. Conditions are attached to the permits and are in line with OML expectations. The planning permit approvals were by the Department of Environment Northern Ireland.
Roland Phelps (President and CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation) commented, "I am pleased that we have received the permits, which were the result of a long consultation process. Apart from the road transport issue, the permits also cover the on-going restoration program at the mine.
Other permit applications are in the planning pipeline. Recently OML applied to construct a "cut and cover" type adit within back-fill of the worked section of the open pit and a determination is awaited. The adit will allow potential access to gold mineralisation below the Kearney open-pit, subject to a successful planning application for an underground mine. The underground mine application is being finalised with a pre-consultation exercise in place and Environmental Impact Assessment being completed."
This disclosure has been authorised by R.Phelps C.Eng MIOM3, (President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation), the Qualified Person for the exploration 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.
Galantas Gold Corporation Issued and Outstanding Shares total 235,650,055.
