In advance of designing a follow-up exploration programme, check sampling of glacial till and stream-bed boulders is being carried out.

Galántas Gold Corporation is building Ireland’s only gold mine on its 189 sq km exclusive Prospecting Licence. The corporate aim is to increase the approx 447,000 oz gold resource on the property through exploration and mine development, to expand mine production in stages, and to add value to the Company’s production by marketing and selling certified Galántas ™ Irish gold jewellery.
