GALANTAS PRODUCTION UPDATE AND CHANGE OF BROKER

October 6, 2020 . Galantas Gold Corporation ("Galantas" or "the company") is pleased to provide an operational update for the Galantas Gold Mine, Omagh, Northern Ireland and details of a change of AIM broker.

Concentrate Production

Concentrate processing operations re-started, following a Covid shutdown, on May 26, 2020. While underground mining remains suspended, current processing utilises low grade stock. 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 30, 2020, approximately 98 tonnes of concentrate was despatched, containing an estimated 386.2 troy ounces of gold. All weights and contained metal estimates are provisional and subject to confirmation.

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 g/t gold.

Environmental monitoring of operations continues to demonstrate satisfactory results within regulatory constraints.

Potential Partnering

Active discussions continue with a number of potential partners regarding funding to provide the investment required for additional mine development and exploration. On-site inspections have been restricted by Covid related matters.

AIM Broker Change

The Company is pleased to announce that, pursuant to the acquisition of Whitman Howard Limited by Panmure Gordon & Co ("Panmure Gordon"), it has appointed Panmure Gordon as its AIM Broker with immediate effect.
