Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for Galantas Gold Corporation
have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied. The most significant of these
accounting principles have been set out in the December 31, 2005 audited
consolidated financial statements. Only changes in accounting information have
been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. These statements are
presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, a precise
determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events.
Therefore, estimates and approximations have been made using careful judgment.
Recognizing that the Company is responsible for both the integrity and
objectivity of the consolidated financial statements, management is satisfied
that these consolidated financial statements have been fairly presented.
Auditors' involvement
The auditors of Galantas Gold Corporation have not performed a review of the
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

GALANTAS GOLD CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (PREPARED BY MANAGEMENT)
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
These 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. The recoverability of these consolidated amounts, which includes the
consolidated results of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Cavanacaw
Corporation ('Cavanacaw'), is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain
future financing and to recover its investment in Omagh Minerals Limited
('Omagh'). Cavanacaw has a 100% shareholding in Omagh which is engaged in the
acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties, mainly in Omagh,
Northern Ireland. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as it
has yet to earn substantial revenues and it is devoting substantially all of its
efforts toward the development of this process.
As at December 31, 2001, studies performed on Omagh's mineral property confirmed
the existence of economically recoverable reserves. The mineral property is
currently in the development stage of operation and the directors believe that
the capitalized development expenditures will be fully recovered by the future
operation of the mine. The recoverability of Omagh's capitalized development
costs is thus dependent on the ability to secure financing, future profitable
production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property. These
development expenditures will be amortized over the estimated life of the ore
body.
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 of subject
to a number of factors including market conditions. These consolidated
financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets
and liabilities, the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications used
that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate.
Such adjustments could be material.
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. Its first exploration project was a property in
Portugal. In 1997, it purchased all of the shares of Omagh which owns a mineral
property in Northern Ireland, including a delineated gold deposit. Omagh
obtained full planning and environmental consents necessary to bring its
property into production.
The Company entered into an agreement on April 17, 2000, approved by
shareholders on June 26, 2000, whereby Cavanacaw, a private Ontario corporation,
acquired Omagh. Cavanacaw has established an open pit mine to extract the
Company's gold deposit near Omagh. Cavanacaw also has developed a premium
jewellery business founded on the gold produced under the name Galantas Irish
Gold Limited ('Galantas').
Cavanacaw operations include the consolidated results of Cavanacaw and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Omagh and Galantas.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes
to the consolidated financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 may not
necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2006.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (Continued)
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the
audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all
of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. The
interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in
accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
New accounting pronouncement
In January 2005, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued four new
accounting standards: Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Handbook
Section 3251, Equity, Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments -
Recognition and Measurement and Handbook Section 3865, Hedges. These standards
are effective for interim and annual consolidated financial statements for the
Company's fiscal years beginning January 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2006, the
impact of implementing these new standards is not yet determinable.

6. STOCK OPTIONS (Continued)
During the period, 1,000,000 stock options were granted to employees of the
Company to purchase common shares at a price of $0.26 per share until June 14,
2011. The fair value of these stock options was estimated using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield -
0%; volatility - 60%; risk-free interest rate - 4.26% and an estimated life of 5
years. The estimated fair value of $143,000 will be expensed in the statement of
operations and deficit and credited to contributed surplus as the options vest
over a three year period. Stock-based compensation includes $47,666 related to
the vested portion of these stock options.
Stock-based compensation also includes $116,000 relating to 733,333 options that
have vested from previous stock option grants.
On February 13, 2006, 1,000,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.15
