Galantas Gold Corporation has announced the results of the first hole from its new surface drill program at the Omagh Project in Northern Ireland. Hole FR-DD-23-196 targeted a gap in the earlier resource model on the main Joshua Vein and intersected 13.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 91.6 g/t silver over 2.5 metres. The hole falls within a predicted dilation zone, which has potential for higher widths of mineralization. Other significant results within this dilation trend include hole OM-DD-12-122, which intersected 21.2 g/t Au over 2.1 metres, hole OM-DD-13-147, which intersected 12.4 g/t Au over 5.6 metres, and hole OM-DD-12-103, which intersected 8.4 g/t Au over 26.6 metres. Galantas CEO Mario Stifano commented that the company is pleased with the early results of the drill program and aims to expand the resource to add to the Omagh Mine's production capacity.
The drill hole was NQ size and drilled using a triple tube method to maximize core recovery. The samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory Ltd in Galway, Ireland. The company operates according to rigorous internal Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols. The Qualified Person for the project is Dr. Sarah Coulter, Chief Geologist of Galantas Gold Corporation.
