("Ocean" or the "Lender"). The Loan is to be used to fund the development of the underground mining operations at the Omagh Gold Project in Northern Ireland and working capital.

The Loan is repayable six months from the date of closing of the issue of the Loan (the "Closing") and will bear interest at an annual rate of 12% compounded monthly and repayable in full on maturity of the Loan.

As consideration for providing the Loan, Ocean will receive, upon the Closing, 125,000 warrants of Galantas (the "Bonus Warrants"), subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

On Closing, each Bonus Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of Galantas for a period of 12 months. The exercise price will be determined by reference to the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on July 26, 2022.
