Date of MD&A
This MD&A was prepared on November 29, 2021.
Overview - Strategy - Description of Business
Galantas Gold Corporation has been a producing mineral resource issuer and the first to acquire planning consent to mine gold in Northern Ireland. Cavanacaw Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Galantas, owns all of the shares of the Northern Ireland companies - Flintridge Resources Limited, Omagh Minerals Limited and Galantas Irish Gold Limited. During 2014 Cavanacaw acquired Flintridge Resources Limited, a dormant company, and following a strategic review of its business, certain assets owned by Omagh Minerals were acquired by Flintridge.
Mining at the Omagh mine had been conducted by open pit methods up to the suspension of production in 2013. The mine produced a flotation concentrate and was shipped to a smelter under an off-take agreement. The Company's strategy to increase shareholder value has been to:
- With the additional funding, continue the expanded exploration programme and the further development of its underground mine;
- Recommence production at the mine and processing plant;
- Continue to explore and develop extensions to the Kearney, Joshua and nearby known veins so as to expand resources and increase gold production in stages;
- Explore the Company's prospecting licences, focusing on the more than 60 gold targets identified to date; these targets are the subject of further evaluation to rank and prioritise the more prospective targets.
Underground development of a decline tunnel, located at the base of the existing open pit, commenced in 2017. The underground gold mine at Omagh commenced limited production of gold concentrate, from feed produced in development of the Kearney vein in 2018. The processing plant uses a non-toxic flotation process to produce concentrates, without the use of cyanide or mercury. It satisfies strict environmental monitoring criteria set by the Northern Ireland regulatory authorities. The decline tunnel is planned to be extended in depth to provide access to lower levels of in vein development which will form the development necessary to block off production stopes.
