Galantas Gold Corp (AIM:GAL, TSX-V:GAL, OTCQX:GALKF) has said it will start a new surface drilling program at the Omagh project in Northern Ireland in early July following permission for eight new exploration holes.
Gaps and areas of the inferred resource at the main Joshua Vein will be the target including an additional predicted dilation zone, which Galantas said has the potential for higher widths of mineralisation.
Mario Stifano, Galantas' chief executive, said information from the drill program would be critical in helping the company optimise the mine plan and potentially add high-grade ounces to production.
