Galantas Gold Corporation (TSXV & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF) has obtained high-grade gold results from three holes from its ongoing 4,000 m drilling programme at the Omagh Project in Northern Ireland.
All three holes were drilled from the underground development at the Kearney Vein.
Drilling highlights:
- Hole FR-DD-22-UG-181 intersected 31.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 58.5 g/t silver (Ag) over 7.0 m at the main Kearney Vein including 106.3 g/t Au and 111 g/t Ag over 1.0 m. A deeper intersect of 7.3 g/t Au and 5.7 g/t Ag over 2.3 m was recorded at a 278 m vertical depth, approximately 55 m east of the main Kearney Vein.
- Hole FR-DD-21-UG-174 intersected 73.6 g/t Au and 93.4 g/t Ag over 2.2 m on a parallel-running vein known as the ‘B-lens’, approximately 28 m east of the Kearney Vein.
- Hole FR-DD-21-UG-176 intersected 23.8 g/t Au and 16.8 g/t Ag over 2.9 m on a further parallel zone of mineralisation known as the ‘C-lens’, approximately 40 m east of the Kearney Vein.
Drill holes FR-DD-21-UG-174 and 176 targeted parallel zones of mineralisation east of the main vein. Both of these holes, and hole FR-DD-22-UG-181, fall within the dilation zone model.
Importantly, high gold mineralisation has been identified across two vertical levels at RL000 and RL030 with historical intersection 07-47 on a stringer vein west of Kearney, and new intersection on the C-lens, separated by 62 m west-east.
“Our drilling programme continues to yield very positive results, particularly the high-grade gold intersections in parallel veins with recent results demonstrating the continuity of the lenses,” CEO, Mario Stifano, said.
“These are some of our best drill results to date and point to the significant potential to expand gold resources at the Omagh Project.
“The company has successfully identified dilation zones at both Kearney and Joshua veins with multiple drill intercepts, and is developing plans to advance underground development and infrastructure at Joshua to allow multiple underground drill platforms to expand our drilling programme.”
