Mine Development

Safety is a high priority and the Company continued to invest in safety-related training and infrastructure. The zero lost-time accident rate since the start of underground operations continues. Environmental monitoring demonstrates a high level of regulatory compliance. With the new management and operations team in place, detailed review of mine plans and production profile are ongoing.

Mario Stifano, CEO of Galantas, commented: “The Company has made great strides in advancing the Omagh Project with the commencement of drilling to increase the confidence of resources for mine planning while also looking to expand known resources. Operationally, the Company has secured critical new mining equipment to support mining activities while strengthening the site management and operations team as we commence a phased restart of operations early in the new year.”
