- Hollow 23-GL-04 intersected 4.42 grams according to tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 0.71% copper (Cu), 0.52% zinc (Zn), 69 g/t cobalt (Co) and three.74 g/t silver (Ag) over 31 metres, together with 15.46 g/t Au, 0.80% Cu, 1.91% Zn, 133 g/t Co and six.35 g/t Ag over 6.95 metres.
- Hollow 23-GL-03 intersected 1.34 g/t Au, 0.86% Cu, 0.16% Zn, 82 g/t Co and three.20 g/t Ag over 18 metres.
- 5 holes have now been finished over the principle deposit house totaling 580 metres. The Corporate is now all for producing further drill objectives alongside strike of the deposit.
- Prospecting known 0.91 g/t Au in bedrock 1.4 kilometres from contemporary drilling, in addition to 34.3% iron (Fe) and zero.19 g/t Au in bedrock inside of a 10-metre-wide banded iron formation.
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: “We’re fascinated by the prime grade and thick zones from drill effects so far on the Gairloch Mission, indicating a possible large-scale mineralizing gadget. We’re willing to ascertain new goal spaces for additional drill checking out and useful resource drilling, to liberate the overall possible of the 217 km² land package deal protecting the Gairloch Schist Belt.”

Notes:
- Reported durations are downhole widths.
- The copper an identical values are estimated the use of approximate steel costs of $8,350/t copper, $2,480/t zinc, $1,900/oz. gold, $23/oz. silver and $33,140/t cobalt and are offered for ease of period comparability best. Metallurgical elements are assumed to be 100% even though restoration elements and smelter returns would possibly range considerably.
- True widths unknown because of native structural complexities. Hollow 23-GL-03 was once drilled at 223 azimuth, perpendicular to assumed strike of ore frame at -45 levels dip. Hollow 23-GL-04 was once drilled as a scissor hollow to hollow 23-GL-03, 50m south at an azimuth of 43 levels and -55 levels dip.
Drill program
Drill hollow 23-GL-03 was once drilled 57 metres southeast of hollow 23-GL-02, intersecting the mineralized unit at 35 metres all the way down to 53 metres. Hollow 23-GL-04 was once drilled 49 metres southwest of hollow 23-GL-03, in opposition to the mineralized unit in the other way, hitting the zone from 10 metres to 41 metres. This hollow was once a 15-metre step out from the recognized historical deposit house.

The deep hollow, 23-GL-05, has been drilled to a intensity of 390 metres, and is being logged and break up. The Corporate will now center of attention on figuring out the deposit’s extension.
The present drilling was once localized inside of 100 metres of the place the mineralized unit is uncovered at floor. Ancient drilling known a 900-metre-long mineralized pattern which the Corporate will goal to discover and increase within the coming 12 months (see Determine 1). Ancient hollow GBH82 intersected the mineralized unit at round 250 metres beneath floor over 620 metres southeast from the Corporate’s hollow 23-GL-05. Hollow GBH82 intersected 5 metres at 1.07 g/t Au and 1.75% Cu.
Running 120 metres again in opposition to Galantas’ contemporary drilling, historic hollow GBH81 intersected 6 metres at 0.85 g/t Au and 1.19% Cu at round 200 metres beneath floor. At round 150 metres beneath floor, historic drill hollow GBH68 intersected 6 metres at 1.5 g/t Au and 5.92% Cu. At 100 metres beneath floor, historic drill hollow GBH67 intersected 6 metres at 2.27 g/t Au and a couple of.28% Cu.
In the other way going 280 metres northwest alongside strike from the hot drilling house, historic hollow GBH48 intersected 10 metres at 0.12 g/t Au and zero.5% Cu. Those new and historic grades over this sort of large house display the potential for the Kerry Highway deposit with long term drilling deliberate to discover alongside strike and at intensity.

Prospecting at Gairloch Mission
The prospecting effects have known a gold bearing unit 1.4 kilometres southeast from the hot drill hollow 23-GL-05. The 1.5-kilogram grasp pattern was once taken from a 2-metre-wide sulphide zone outcropping at the highway aspect (see Determine 3) and returned 0.91 g/t Au. Additional paintings this is warranted to know the presence of gold inside of this unit and discover alongside pattern.
A separate 1.5-kilogram grasp pattern from the outcropping banded iron formation which is ready 10 metres large and lies 300 metres clear of the hot drilling (see Determine 4), returned 34.3% Fe and zero.19 g/t Au. Those banded iron formations are recognized to exist all over the Gairloch Schist Belt and measure between 0.5 metres to fifteen metres large, extending a couple of kilometres. Additional exploratory paintings can be performed over the banded iron formations within the house within the upcoming exploration program.

Prospecting may even proceed alongside pattern in opposition to the Gorm Lochs Prospect which lies 10 kilometres south of the Kerry Highway deposit. Ancient samples accrued on the Gorm Lochs come with as much as 4 g/t Au in outcrop (see Galantas’ information free up dated January 26, 2023).
Determine 3: Newly uncovered sulphide outcrop grading 0.91 g/t gold.

Gairloch Mission review
The Kerry Highway deposit is a stratabound, Besshi-style, VMS gold-copper-zinc deposit uncovered at floor. It is likely one of the oldest recognized Besshi deposits, an identical in age to the Sherridon district in Manitoba, Canada. The Kerry Highway deposit was once found out by means of Consolidated Goldfields within the Nineteen Seventies the place 87 holes had been drilled over 9,189 metres. No business exploration has taken position since then till 2018 when drilling by means of GreenOre Gold PLC (GreenOre) showed the presence of mineralization at Kerry Highway by means of intersecting 1.0 g/t gold, 0.9% copper and zero.6% zinc over 17 metres (see Galantas’ information free up dated January 26, 2023). Rock chip sampling performed by means of GreenOre in 2018 additionally known increased ranges of cobalt in bedrock.

The Kerry Highway deposit lies inside the Gairloch Schist Belt, a Paleoproterozic volcanic arc terrane extending over 25 km. The unit of pastime is a quartz carbonate schist with the principle minerals being chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Restricted exploration has been performed over the realm lately. The British Geological Survey (BGS) known an outcrop of four g/t Au of their MRP146 document of the realm, related to a vital geophysical anomaly roughly 10 km south of the Kerry Highway deposit, but the realm stays untested. This house is one in every of a couple of objectives known by means of Galantas for follow-up exploration.
Galantas has obtained a 100% pastime and the unique rights to discover and increase the Gairloch Mission, a 217 km² mineral licence house protecting the Gairloch Schist Belt.

Drill hollow 23-GL-03 was once situated 50 metres step again from hollow 23-GL-02 and drilled at -45 levels dip in NQ core dimension. Drill hollow 23-GL-04 was once situated 50 metres southwest and perpendicular to hollow 23-GL-03 at -55 levels dip. Core samples had been break up in part in principally metre-long samples, placing common blanks, requirements and duplicates for QA/QC functions.
