The Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which includes stock-based compensation charge of $ 338,000 in connection with the stock options granted during the second quarter which vested immediately amounted to CDN$ 708,757 (2014 Q2: CDN$ 296,603). The cash loss from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital in the second quarter of 2015 amounted to CDN$ 457,670 (2014 Q2: CDN$ 450,143). The Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 amounted to CDN$ 1,122,856 (2014:CDN$ 798,703) and the cash loss from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital for the first six months  of 2015 amounted to CDN$ 958,758 (2014: CDN$ 969,676). 

 

Sales revenues for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of jewelry sales and amounted to CDN$ 13,774 and CDN$ 14,897 respectively (2014: CDN $ Nil and $ Nil 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, 2015 amounted to CDN$ 114,656 and $ 184,653 respectively (2014: CDN$ 99,446 and $ 176,680).  Production costs were mainly in connection with ongoing care and maintenance costs at the Omagh mine site. 

 

The Company had cash balances of $ 198,696 at June 30, 2015 compared to $ 458,849 at June 30, 2014. The working capital deficit at June 30, 2015 amounted to $ 4,273,046 compared to a working capital deficit of $ 2,607,058 at June 30, 2014.

 

During the first quarter of 2015 the Company completed a Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately UK£ 316,677 through the issuing of 10,599,999 new shares at a price of UK£ 0.03/CDN$0.05727 per common share. The proceeds were used for working capital purposes and to finance the Company's continued commitments in regard to its underground planning application, now granted.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2015 Galantas completed a non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of                 $ 2,400,000 (approximately UK£ 1,189,000). The placement comprised of the issue of 20 million units, each unit comprising of one common share and one share purchase warrant. The price of each unit was $ 0.12 (approximately UK£ 0.06). Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire a further common share of the Company at a price of $ 0.16 per share for a period twelve months from the date the subscription was closed. A four month hold period from closing will apply. The majority of the placement was taken up by Mr. Ross Beaty who acquired 16,000,000 Units resulting in an interest before the exercise of warrants of 14.9% of Galantas issued and outstanding shares. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the placement for exploration, initiating the development of the underground Omagh gold-mine and for working capital purposes.

 

Production

 

Production at the Omagh mine remains suspended. However the granting of planning consent during the second quarter for an underground operation at the Omagh site will permit the continuation and expansion of gold mining. The underground mine will utilize the same processing methods and will be the first underground gold mine, of any scale, in Ireland. The robust results of the recent economic study, now with the positive planning determination, are expected to lead to the establishment of a sound business based on the Omagh gold property. 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 un-drilled targets.

 

Exploration

 

The Company has not carried out any exploration drilling in the vicinity of the mine site following the suspension of drilling during 2013 pending the availability of cash for future exploration. In total, 17,348 metres were drilled following the commencement of the programme in March 2011. Channel sampling was also carried out, during this period, on the Joshua, Kearney and Kerr vein systems. Assay results released to date from both the drilling and channel sampling programmes have been encouraging with significant gold intersections being identified. Additional funding is now available and the programme will continue and further drilling is planned.

 

The granting of a further two prospecting licences in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) during 2014 brought the total number of licences held in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to eleven covering a total area to 766.5 square kilometres. Fieldwork, which commenced within the three more recently acquired ROI licences during the first quarter of 2015, continued into the second quarter with regional samples being collected, analysed and evaluated in all three licence areas. A total of thirty samples were collected, thirteen of which yielded notable results. Most interesting were sediments collected from first order and second order streams which drained an upland area situated close to a distinct magnetic anomaly. These showed gold grades of 1.6, 1.9 and 2.5 parts per million (ppm) (g/t) (see press release dated June 22, 2015). 

 

Permitting

 

In June 2015 the Company reported that the Minister of Environment, Northern Ireland, Mr. Mark H. Durkan, 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.

  

Roland Phelps, President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation, commented, "The receipt of the planning permit is very significant for Galantas. Our open pit gold mine, operated until recently, is the only one in Ireland. It had excellent environmental standards, monitored with detailed studies by NIEA and used a safe processing methodology to produce a smelter concentrate. We recently completed a substantial fund-raising which is being used to push our exploration and mine development plans forward."

 

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.

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.

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, 2015, the Company had a deficit of $34,505,644 (December 31, 2014 - $33,382,788). 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. 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 Galántas Irish Gold Limited ("Galántas"). On April 1, 2014, Galántas amalgamated it's jewelry business with Omagh.

Incorporation and Nature of Operations (Continued)

As at July 1, 2007, the Company's Omagh mine began production.

On April 8, 2014, Cavanacaw acquired Flintridge. Following a strategic review of its business by the Company during 2014 certain assets owned by Omagh were acquired by Flintridge.

The Company's operations include the consolidated results of Cavanacaw, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Omagh, Galántas and Flintridge.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and London Stock Exchange AIM under the symbol GAL. The primary office is located at 36 Toronto Street, Suite 1000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 2C5.

3.

Basis of Preparation

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 24, 2015 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, 2014. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2015 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements

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 a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules 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.

Decommissioning Liability

The Company's decommissioning liability is a result of mining activities at the Omagh mine in Northern Ireland. The Company estimated its decommissioning liability at June 30, 2015 based on a risk-free discount rate of 1% (December 31, 2014 - 1%) and an inflation rate of 1.50% (December 31, 2014 - 1.50%) . The expected undiscounted future obligations allowing for inflation are GBP 330,000 and based on management's best estimate the decommissioning is expected to occur over the next 5 to 10 years. On June 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of the liability is $607,002 (December 31, 2014 - $553,544). Changes in the provision during the six months ended June 30, 2015 are as follows:

(i) On May 7, 2014, the Company completed a private placement of 10,330,000 units at GBP 0.05 ($0.09375) per unit for gross proceeds of GBP 516,500 ($968,438). Each unit is comprised of one common share and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one further common share at GBP 0.10 per share for a period of two years. Commissions of $8,156 were paid in connection with the placement.

The fair value of the 10,330,000 warrants was estimated at $383,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 168.92%, risk-free interest rate -1.07% and an expected average life of 2 years. As a result of the exercise price of the warrants being denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, the warrants are considered a derivative financial liability.

As a result of the exercise price of the broker warrants being denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, the broker warrants are considered a derivative financial liability.

On June 30, 2015, the fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 147% to 161%; risk free interest rate of 0.49%; and an expected life of 0.85 years to 2.64 years. As a result, the fair value of the warrants was calculated to be $297,000 and the Company recorded an unrealized gain on fair value of derivative financial liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 of $95,000 and $103,000, respectively.

Contingent Liability

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company's subsidiary Omagh received a payment demand from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in the amount of $596,834 (GBP 304,290) in connection with an aggregate levy arising from the removal of waste rock from the mine site during 2008 and early 2009. The Company believes this claim is without merit. An appeal has been lodged and the Company's subsidiary Omagh intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim. A hearing date for the appeal has not yet been determined. No provision has been made for the claim in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Event After the Reporting Period

On July 24, 2015, the Company closed a private placement of 20,000,000 units at GBP 0.06 ($0.12) per common share for gross proceeds of GBP 1,189,000 ($2,400,000) (the "Placement"). Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of 12 months from closing at an exercise price of GBP 0.08 ($0.16) . The common share issued are subject to a four month hold period.

The majority of the Placement was taken up by Mr. Ross Beaty, who acquired 16,000,000 units resulting in an interest, before the exercise of warrants, of 14.9% of the Company issued and outstanding common shares. If all warrants issued under the Placement were to be exercised, Mr. Beaty would have an interest in 32,000,000 common shares, representing up to 25.1% of the outstanding common shares, which meets the definition of a "Control Person" by the TSXV.
