Sales revenues for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of jewelry sales and amounted to CDN$ 1,648 and CDN$ 29,721 respectively (2015: CDN $ 13,774 and $ 14,897 respectively). Following the suspension of production during the fourth quarter of 2013 there have not been any shipments of concentrates from the mine.

Cost of sales, which includes production costs and inventory movement, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 amounted to CDN$ 88,572 and $ 210,103 respectively (2015: CDN$ 114,656 and $ 184,653).  Production costs were mainly in connection with ongoing care, maintenance and restoration costs at the Omagh mine site. 

The Company had cash balances of $ 1,312,989 at June 30, 2016 compared to $ 198,696 at June 30, 2015. The working capital deficit at June 30, 2016 amounted to $ 2,068,440 compared to a working capital deficit of $ 4,273,046 at June 30, 2015.

During the second quarter the Company announced a private placement of shares and shares for debt exchange. Placing priority was given to existing shareholders, with 18,619,841 common shares issued, at a price of CDN$ 0.07875 per common share for a total of CDN $1,466,312. The majority of the placement was taken up by Mr. Ross Beaty, who acquired 12,825,397 common shares. As a consequence of the placing, Mr. Beaty has an interest in 28,825,397 Common Shares or 20.9% of the Company's issued common shares.

In addition to the private placement, Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, entered into a shares for debt exchange on the same terms as the placement. Mr. Phelps exchanged $ 935,852 debt accruing to him for 11,883,835 common shares. Shareholder consent was received for the debt exchange by means of a written resolution, with a majority of disinterested shareholder votes consenting. Following the debt exchange, Mr. Phelps holds 33,356,750 common shares, representing 24.2% of the enlarged number of common shares in issue.

Production

Production at the Omagh mine remains suspended. However the granting of planning consent during the 2015 for an underground operation at the Omagh site, now subject to a judicial review to be heard in September 2016, will permit the continuation and expansion of gold mining. The underground mine will utilize the same processing methods. The strategy is to establish the underground mine as soon as finance is available and look for further expansion of gold resources on the property, which has many undrilled targets.

Exploration

The drilling program, which recommenced in September 2015, continued into the first quarter of 2016 with two drill rigs in operation and a further six holes were completed before the rigs left the site in March. In early 2016 Galantas reported the assay results for three holes completed in 2015 (see press release dated January 26, 2016). Most notable was hole OML-DD-15-155 which intersected a wide zone (13 m true width) of the Joshua vein at a vertical depth of 117 m grading 9.9 g/t Au.  This drilling program also identified a new vein, Kestrel, running 70 m west of Joshua. An initial shallow (42.4 m) intersect returned 35.8 g/t Au over 0.7 m (true width). A later second hole targeted the Kestrel vein  approximately 80m north of the previous hole and hit mineralisation at a vertical depth of 73 m (3.2 g/t Au over 1.2 m true width).  A detailed table of drilling data is included in an addendum to this release.

Following extensive geological review, which included a detailed mapping study reported on 9^th August 2016, new targets have been outlined in preparation for future drilling.

An area of PL3039 in the Republic Of Ireland was revisited during Q2. The results of earlier fieldwork had shown bedrock gold anomalies of 2.1 and 1.8 g/t, associated with significant silver.  Recent excavations of the site for construction purposes revealed narrow mineralised quartz veins along 5 m strike. Samples of these were taken for analysis.

Permitting

In June 2015 the Company reported that the Minister of Environment, Northern Ireland had granted planning consent for an underground gold mine at the Omagh site. The planning consent will permit the continuation and expansion of gold mining and is expected to create hundreds of jobs locally. The positive decision is the result of 3 years of examination of environmental and other factors regarding the application. Included were environmental studies by NIEA (Northern Ireland Environment Agency) and independent specialists. The consent includes operating and environmental conditions, which the Company has reviewed. Some conditions require clarification but appear workable with some modifications to operating and construction methodology. A number of conditions precedent to development are required to be satisfied and the Company is carrying those out.

Later in 2015 Galantas reported that they had been made aware of pre-action correspondence from an individual who intends to challenge, by judicial review, the actions of the Department of Environment Northern Ireland (DOENI) in granting planning permission for underground mining beneath the existing open pit. During the first quarter, Galantas confirmed that this third party had obtained leave from Belfast High Court to bring a judicial review of the planning consent granted by Department of Environment Northern Ireland, for the Company's underground mine. The review is scheduled to be heard in September 2016.

Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, commented, "Rehabilitation work at the mine has been continued during the last quarter. Additional conditions precedent to the underground planning permit have been satisfied. The processing plant has been subject to throughput checks and is operational, awaiting ore. Initial underground mining equipment is receiving modification to suit Galantas requirements and is expected to be delivered shortly. The exploration program continues to progress well, with a new vein discovered, our best ever drilling result in terms of gold accumulation in Hole 155 and new targets added."

The detailed results and Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) are available on www.sedar.com and www.galantas.com and the highlights in this release should be read in conjunction with the detailed results and MD&A. The MD&A provides an analysis of comparisons with previous periods, trends affecting the business and risk factors.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited)

1.	Going Concern

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that Galantas Gold Corporation (the "Company") will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's future viability depends on the consolidated results of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Cavanacaw Corporation ("Cavanacaw"). Cavanacaw has a 100% shareholding in both Omagh Minerals Limited ("Omagh") and Flintridge Resources Limited ("Flintridge") who are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The Omagh mine has an open pit mine, which was in production and is reported as property, plant and equipment and an underground mine which is in the development stage and reported as exploration and evaluation assets. The production at the open pit mine was suspended in 2013.

The going concern assumption is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the following:

	a.	Securing sufficient financing to fund ongoing operational activity and the development of the underground mine.
	b.	Obtaining consent for an underground mine which is currently subject to a judicial review process scheduled for September 2016.

Should the Company be unsuccessful in securing the above, there would be significant uncertainty over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently in discussions with a number of potential financiers.

As at June 30, 2016, the Company had a deficit of $36,195,039 (December 31, 2015 - $35,175,865). Management is confident that it will be able to secure the required financing to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. However, this is subject to a number of factors including market conditions.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and financial position classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be material.

2.	Incorporation and Nature of Operations

The Company was formed on September 20, 1996 under the name Montemor Resources Inc. on the amalgamation of 1169479 Ontario Inc. and Consolidated Deer Creek Resources Limited. The name was changed to European Gold Resources Inc. by articles of amendment dated July 25, 1997. On May 5, 2004, the Company changed its name from European Gold Resources Inc. to Galantas Gold Corporation. The Company was incorporated to explore for and develop mineral resource properties, principally in Europe. In 1997, it purchased all of the shares of Omagh which owns a mineral property in Northern Ireland, including a delineated gold deposit.

3.	Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of compliance

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRSs issued and outstanding as of August 19, 2016 the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2015, except for changes noted below. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2016 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Change in accounting policies

(i) IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements was amended in December 2014 in order to clarify, among other things, that information should not be obscured by aggregating or by providing immaterial information, that materiality consideration apply to all parts of the financial statements and that even when a standard requires a specific disclosure, materiality considerations do apply. At January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this pronouncement and there was no material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

3.	Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements

(i) IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39 -Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39"). IFRS 9 uses an incurred loss approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the expected loss approach in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The final amendments made in the new version include guidance for the classification and measurement of financial assets and a third measurement category for financial assets, fair value through other comprehensive income. The standard also contains a new expected loss impairment model for debt instruments measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, lease receivables, contract assets and certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. IFRS 9 will be effective for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement.

(ii) In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") to replace IAS 18 -Revenue and IAS 11 - Construction Contracts and the related interpretations on revenue recognition. The new revenue standard introduces a single, principles based, five-step model for the recognition of revenue when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. The five steps are identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. IFRS 15 also requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help investors better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers and improves the comparability of revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

(iii) IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16") was issued on January 13, 2016 to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 - Leases.

The IASB issued its standard as part of a joint project with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The FASB has not yet issued its new standard, but it is also expected to require lessees to recognize most leases on their statement of financial position.

The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15, has been applied, or is applied at the same date as IFRS 16.
