Court of Appeal Completes Hearing on Galantas Planning Appeal

TORONTO, Feb. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galantas Gold Corporation (the “Company”) (TSXV:GAL) (AIM:GAL), the AIM and TSXV quoted gold producer and explorer with a 100% interest in Northern Ireland’s Omagh gold mine, has been advised that an appeal brought by a third party against its planning consent has completed the hearing stage.

The Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast, Northern Ireland heard the appeal against a Judicial Review decision that upheld the Department for Environment Northern Ireland (now Department for Infrastructure) grant of planning consent for an underground mine on the former open-pit gold-mine site. The Court will deliver its judgement at a later date, currently unknown.

The mine is in underground development and is currently undergoing infrastructure improvements to accommodate an increase in the development rate.
