"I am delighted to welcome the continued support from our shareholders. The funding allows us to continue the acceleration of underground development of the Omagh gold-mine,” said Roland Phelps, president and chief executive officer of Galantas.
“The Omagh team is continuing to make good progress with underground development, which now totals about 132 metres. Shotcrete equipment delivered as part of a rental-purchase deal recently announced has been delivered and successfully integrated into the operation. The first of two, new, underground development drill rigs, which are also part of the rental-purchase arrangement, is expected to be delivered in January 2018," Phelps added.
