Galantas Gold Announces Completion of Trial Stoping Program at Omagh Gold Project, Northern Ireland
18 Juin 2024 - 8:00AM
Galantas Gold Corporation (TSX-V & AIM: GAL; OTCQX: GALKF)
(“Galantas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful
completion of its trial stoping program at the Cavanacaw Gold Mine
at the Omagh Project in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: “The
trial has brought a high level of understanding to the mine
development process and helped us conclude that the Cavanacaw Mine
can be mined successfully, utilizing a longhole mining method and
backfill. The trial stoping has provided sufficient information to
bring a high level of confidence for a successful stoping program
in the future.”
Provisional revenues generated from concentrate
sales totalled approximately US$1,103,000 in 2023 and approximately
US$207,000 in Q1 2024. The net proceeds from concentrate sales are
being offset against development assets, until the mine commences
commercial production.
Six stopes were successfully mined and
backfilled using a narrow vein, modified Avoca longhole open
stoping method, in two separate blocks. The minimum stope width was
2.2 metres planned with a stope length of 10 to 15 metres. Vertical
distance between the stoping levels was approximately 8 metres from
roof to floor. Following the success of the trial, the Company
plans to increase the distance between levels to 12 metres.
Relatively low-grade areas of the mine were selected for the trial
to assess the suitability of the mining method and also to serve as
a training project for the locally trained mining operators.
A total of 3,175 tonnes of mineralized material
was successfully mined from the six stopes during this phase in a
safe and controlled manner. Reconciliation was completed for two of
the stopes, and grades returned an average percentage increase of
113%* from the grade modelled in the technical report “Resource
Estimate, Preliminary Economic Assessment & Detailed
Feasibility Study on the Omagh Gold Project, County Tyrone,
Northern Ireland" dated July 26, 2014 and filed on September 4,
2014.
Trials have led to an optimized cycle of two
days from the initial stope blast to completion of backfill, thus
reducing the potential for dilution and also streamlining the
process. This mining method can now be applied to more than 240
stopes which are already planned for the Kearney and Joshua zones,
with grades in the range of 2.0 grams per tonne (g/t) gold to 17
g/t.
*Higher grade reconciliation may not be
indicative of future grade reconciliations.
