Galantas Gold Corporation (LON:GAL)(CVE:GAL) said it has re-started concentrate processing operations at the Omagh gold mine in Northern Ireland.
The re-start follows a coronavirus-related shutdown which began in May. Underground mining remains suspended.
In the period from May 26, 2020, to September 30, 2020, approximately 147 tonnes of concentrate was despatched, containing an estimated 551.5 troy ounces of gold.
In the third quarter ending September 31, 2020, approximately 98 tonnes of concentrate was despatched, containing an estimated 386.2 troy ounces of gold.
The estimated monthly recovery of gold to concentrate, in the third quarter, has averaged 95.4%, with low-grade feed carrying a monthly estimated average of 2.14 grams per ton of gold.
Active discussions continue with a number of potential partners regarding funding to provide the investment required for additional mine development and exploration, Galantas said.
