GALANTAS CONFIRMS CONTINUITY OF KEARNEY AND ELKIN VEINS
Galantas Gold Corporation (the Company), which has a 100% interest in Ireland's
only gold mine, today announced results from ongoing core drilling. To date 36
holes have been completed in the current program, with total drilling of 3,518
meters.
Drill holes OM-DD-07-17 and OM-DD-07-18, located in the central portion of the
850 metres long Kearney Vein, intersected mineralization at depths of
approximately 90 and 95 metres respectively. Hole 17 had numerous gold bearing
intervals from 119 to 154 metres down hole, including a 0.31 metres intersection
assaying 14.12 grams per tonne gold. Hole 17 was drilled in the same vertical
section as holes 15 and 16 reported on May 1st, 2007. Hole 18 also had multiple
gold bearing intercepts from 86 meters to 125 meters down hole.
Holes 21 and 23 are part of a six hole program that has been completed at the
Elkin Zone following six holes drilled in 2006. The Elkins Zone is a multi-vein
system discovered by Rio Tinto in the 1980's by drilling coincident soil and
Induced Polarization anomalies. Holes 21 and 23 are infill holes at 25-metre
spacing. Hole 20 overshot the target and will be re-drilled. Holes 25, 27 and 29
testing on-strike and down-dip extensions are being sampled.

*The angle between the vein and the drill hole is greater than 75 degrees
therefore drilled width approximates true width.
The samples were taken by geological staff under the supervision of M.J. Lavigne
P.Geo, (Vice President, Galantas Gold Corp), the Qualified Person for the
program. Sampling methodology, security & verification followed standard
procedures previously detailed on April 5th 2006 and the samples were analysed
